Egypt '78 Grateful Dead Listening Path
Red Rocks into three nights at the Great Pyramid.
4 stops · 1978
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.
