Editorial Reviews:
2 CD/1 DVD set marks the 30th anniversary of The Dead's historic concerts at Giza-More than 3 hours of rare and previously unreleased music remastered in HDCD plus over 100 minutes of extremely rare, previously unseen concert and behind the scenes footage.

Summary: It sure could have been better
Comment: Having had the 3 nights from Gizah in my tape collection for years, I was looking forward to getting this combo disc set. I think that the DVD is fabulous but with 2 other nights of music at the pyramids, why did the audio disc have the same material as the dvd, the second set from 9/16, for the most part.

Summary: Killer
Comment: Great Freakin Show here I'll tell you what 78 was on fire and this will show you why

Customer Rating:

Summary: Historical, yes, but not a particularly great run.
Comment: There are a few lil nuggets on here-a new dvd release is nice-but as a whole i would spend my money on other releases or wait til its significantly cheaper...Winterland 78...Truckin' up to Buffalo...Dick's Picks 15, 9, 8 are favorites...it just seems as if the band was about to hit that point we all know and love but never quite did so...The packaging is really cool and it certainly has its historical value but spend your money on something hotter (musically)

Summary: Align Yourself With the Ancients
Comment: Who else but the Dead would play under the shadow of the Great Pyramid? While this was not their best run, this compilation takes the best of the three nights and places it into one three disc set. The DVD is about two hours long, including a documentary, and the audio on the DVD is 48k DVD audio, so it sounds sublime.

If you go over to dead.net and call the toll free number, and if you ask please, you can get this set for less then the avertised price here and get an additional bonus CD. 4 Discs for less than $25.00. Space is truly in your reach.

Summary: HAMZA...!!!!
Comment: the playing is sparse, incredibly charged and changed by the locale

the dvd is exquisite, the only regrets, stella blue fading out, and an unnecessary superimposed sphinx image in a few places - but what the heck!

the crowd shots are brilliant, really taking you there

the JOY is seeing, hearing and experiencing all this again -
i had no idea there was a multi camera shoot happening...

and yes, i was there...
