  • In the fall of 1978, the Grateful Dead embarked on an unprecedented journey to rock the Cradle of Civilization. Thirty years later, we commemorate this legendary trip with a 2-CD set brimming with unreleased audio. Recorded September 15-16, 1978 at the Gizah Sound and Light Theater, the original 24-track recordings have been remastered in HDCD for superior sound quality.

    "sound quality on this is literally as good as it gets folks this show is pure magic and Jerry displayed some choice funkiness on that Shakedown "

    "Classic Grateful Dead here, this stuff really jams, the sound quality is pristine. I have not stopped jamming this, and the Winterland Road Trips 4 that arrived with it. The band is smooth and tight, the music is 100% gold. Enjoy. Keep Jamming, Rhino, please keep it coming. Coconut Phil 10/6/08"
