The Grateful Dead have returned tonight with Shakedown Stream. While most of the streams have been from the late 80s and early 90s, this week’s stream is a gem from 1978—the Dead’s concerts in Giza.

In 1978, the Dead were on fire. The momentum from their historic year of shows in 1977 carried them to one of their wildest destinations—Egypt. The Grateful Dead traveled to their third continent in the fall of 1978. For a string of three nights in September, the Dead set up on the East Side of Sphinx for one of the most historic runs in their history.

Rocking the Cradle is a film compiled from the footage from the last two concerts on September 15 and 16.
