I bought this package mainly for the DVD. Any quality footage of the boys is great to watch but it must have been the heat or the local dope or what but talk about an off night...some tracks are good and the band looks like they're enjoying themselves. I like the scene where Phil tries to wake Keith from his coma...
A place to talk about the music of the Grateful Dead

I think the Grateful Dead movie and the Rockpalast videos are best at catching riffs...

I like the scene where Phil tries to wake Keith from his coma..."An off night" has been the general consensus about the whole Egypt trip since it happened. I had cassettes of some of it within months of it happening (which was amazing in pre-internet days for someone with no connection to the band) and even in those days of being starved for live recordings of the Dead, I didn't listen to it much. Still, there are good moments, and I don't want to sound like I am putting them down because I'm not, but in terms of playing only, the Egypt shows will never be counted as their best shows. I suspect that the decision to release these shows has more to do with what the marketing people thought would sell than any thought of putting out their best music.
Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there...
Haven't had time to check out the DVD (or the album yet really, waiting for the weekend to listen to it the whole way through).
BUT....
Anyone want to start a pool on how long those pop-up pryamids and sphinx last?

I am less than pleased with this thing. Lots of fade ins and outs, horrible out of focus camera work that looks like it was done by a high school kid tripping his balls off. Haven't got through it all yet. I got the Road Trips package along with it and some of that is very good (The Other One!)and some...meh. Thought we might get an uncut Stella from 10-21, No Dice. This release seems like it has a few aud. patches and/or severe tape damage. At least I got a cool shirt.
Give me a crisp '89-'90 show on DVD anyday.

Also during Old and in the Way there are photos of him w/pigtails. How about one handed Billy w/a towel on his head. Musta been hotter then hell there.Dozin wrote:OK, I love Jerry as much as anyone but does he really have his hair in pigtails?Tennessee Jedi wrote:Is it good for stealing licks ?Awesome

"Don't go mistaking paradise for that home across the road."
Well Ill be damned. But now that I think of it I can remember it from Old and in the Way.
I also have the same poster, looking at it as I type. The pic was from 6-10-73 (Can't remember the venue but the Allmans guested with the boys).
Bobby's got a SG, Phil's a floppy hat, and a stealie shirt on with Big Brown, and Jerry's got his hair in pigtails with Alligator.
In response to the subject on the DVD, I was thinking about purchasing the CD/DVD pack, but the clip of Bertha is kinda lame, so IDK. I WILL buy Road Trips Vol, 4 though.

IMO, the first two nights of the Egypt run were not that great, but the third night is pretty good. A nice Fire and a pretty good Candyman.
Hey bodiddley (heh), how does the video quality compare with The Closing of Winterland?
