The mysterious and sacred properties of the Pyramids of Gizah that preserved the Egyptian Kings for eons provided a vortex through which the ancient messages and infinite wisdom of distant sages could be transmitted through the sympathetic vibrations of Hamsa and the Grateful Dead. A land mired in toil and suffering shall bear it no longer.

all u nay sayers have no nuts ... either that or you actually are nuts! do you not remember the wonderful feelings inside yourself that were obviously already there and (our friends, the grateful dead ) only helped to conger up, in such a friendly way ... please listen closely to the music uncle jerry went out his way to lay in your lap ... solely for your and his enjoyment ... please stop asking dumb questions, so that maybe we could down to the matter at hand !? it is up to you and myself ...
- ★★★★★ · I was there in 78 · Red1701D · 2008
I was teaching in Alexandria, Egypt at the time of the concert. It was such a great concert the night I was there. Garcia played extremely well and Bobby Weir was outstanding. The one thing I really remember well is at the start of the concert the moon was in eclipse. The Egyptian Drummers and chanters were performing when the Dead began to play. First the drums and the Phil Lesh came in on bass. Then they moved into their set and blew us all away.
