Rocking The Cradle: Egypt 1978 [Digipak] [CD & DVD] by Grateful Dead (CD, Sep-2008, 3 Discs, Rhino Records USA)

This is a great cd box set. Good sound, good songs, one of a kind venue.
The only thing that could make this better is if there were more tracks from the shows and if the set lists were full in order. Still an outstanding set and I would recommend it for anyone's Dead collection. DVD has amazing footage of the band and the surrounding pyramids the sphinx. The box folds open to reveal a 3-d scene of the pyramids and sphinx. Overall Its great!!!

I have about 400 shows on cd or tape, so I am able to discern the better from the good (there were no bad shows). I have this on another source, but the sound is excellent and the dvd suprisingly good. This is the best package from this historic show. My only problem is that I like complete shows, problems and all and this contained only the best parts. Very worthwhile for the casual to devoted dead fan, but for the true deadhead it lacks a completeness. Sometimes the gems are in the songs that others find not to be the best parts. peace, Joe "the Wizard" Brostowicz

The music is awesome and alone, makes the purchase worth while. The quality of the dvd is not very good but again, its the music we're after.

I have a lot of Grateful Dead in different formats. (I am in my mid-fifties ... figure it out.) This is pretty good overall, as I spent about half of what this costs retail at their site. Problem is, it's not one complete show, and that's why I waited to buy someone's used set. The analog camera shots are often not clear, seem out-of-focus, and IMHO, the editing is lousy, but I guess it was what the Dead could get (or wanted) in the mid-seventies. The sound is fine. Not one of my favorites.

sweet, very fast was sent fast and i like to go fast so we meshed together well. i love ebay and love life i love it love it love it

This concert recording is good, but not excellent. I think it should have been released earlier...waiting 30 years to release it seems odd. Regardless of all other considerations, this was a truly historic concert for the Dead. I have enjoyed listening to it immensely.
