Egypt '78
Red Rocks into three nights at the Great Pyramid.
No other path in the catalog sounds like this because no other event was like this. Red Rocks sets the high-altitude 1978 context, then the three Gizah Sound and Light Theater nights put Scarlet > Fire, Estimated > Eyes, Ollin Arageed, Shakedown Street, and desert-room acoustics into a setting that sits outside the normal tour map.
