Deal [Live at Gizah Sound & Light Theater, Cairo, Egypt,

[moonshinedawg]

were the pig tails, Jerrys way of being internationally proper? :)

[SHamed92]

احييييييييه يا جدعان أول مرة أعرف جرايتفول ديد لعبو ف مصر قبل كدة

[supremedudeman]

i Wish I had been there cause this is awesome!!!!

[philagerryberry714]

Tape the hole show it the best Jerry Garcia , in a long time ,he was in the Zone!

And the Dead as well..................

[thomasslaff]

always rockin

[Tubbknuckles]

Philagerryberry - dont give a crap that you saw the Dead, when or where....doesnt make you any better you fool.

[philagerryberry714]

Now We are hearing from a real Dead Head -Saw the dead 1970 New York Dec5 Felt Form with PigPen The man !

They had that Body language, when your their you know you getting something Powerfull Jerry & phil at the top of their game! Have a Greatdul God Dame Day.......The Real 6 Bill,Micky,Phil, Bobby, Jerry, PigPen

[icecoldhubbas]

The Dead's body language changes when they really try to put on a show. This is one example. Another is the Playboy after dark performance. This is a great vid but the overall performance is not so good. They also believe this stating that the piano was out of tune and Billy was playing with a broken hand. I will still buy the album however.

[dottvnetwork]

...Great music in front of the Sphinx and the pyramids...music history pure and simple! Glad to have the album...

[anotherdeadhead]

another great jerry lead

[chazmap]

The arm was mentioned but what about the fact that half the PA system was faced at the base or the pyrimad in hopes to blast "outer space" with music and contact "other life"

[JBGlobal1120]

See Donna plugging her ears?! She can't stand to hear herself sing either!

[JustJake57]

@JBGlobal1120 fucking loser.

[Lisica2008]

@JBGlobal1120 You ought to have picked another performance to make your "joke." Donna was consistently in tune on "Deal"--proven by her performances heard on archive.org as well as here.

[McQ109]

Jerry with pig tails...his voice is sounding very good on this recording..

[bblackedge]

Put it all on Blue Ray and we will buy them all. NIce

[freia2001]

@turgofel I was responding to the comment about Bill WALTON posted by mariolopez26. I know Billy the K had a damaged arm!!

[Khultan]

 Need more good music to bring everybody together....NOW.

[tarafoster28]

@Khultan Furthur :)

[jamjax]

Donna could belt it.

[jligas1]

Chills!!!

[MACWILLIAM]

can anyone tell me where the footage of a grateful dead roadie climbs to the top of the great pyramid and puts a gratful dead flag on top? 

[G10025]

@MACWILLIAM

Look on google > dailymotion for "Grateful Dead Egypt 1978 Fire on the Mountain/Flag planting"

Enjoy.

[MACWILLIAM]

@G10025

thank you for the link. just want to show my friend that footage. he and i read "the giza power plant" and plan on going to egypt soon. no one will ever be able to climb the pyramid or play a concert in front of it again, especially after 911. i think they are even building a huge wall around them.

[MARIOLOPEZ26]

i heard bill walton was helpin' on drums ..........dont c 'em

[freia2001]

@MARIOLOPEZ26 If you watch the Bertha video frmo the same show you can see Bill sitting on a chair at the side of the stage from 2.37 to 2.47. He had a broken foot so I doubt he was drumming!

[Turgorful]

@freia2001 Billy broke his ARM, not his foot. You can see the cast on his left arm in this video.

[Gossage54]

@Turgorful I was just going to comment on that. Billy (God bless him he never missed one show) broke his left arm for these shows. I'm a drummer and you can definitely feel/hear the difference during these shows. At least it was the left/snare side so he could still ride the cymbals and do 8th note type fills on the toms. Mickey also obviously had to compensate and play a little more actual kit playing and less tom flourishes and the like.

[TheWayFinders]

grateful forever ;D

[cheesygruven]

Wasn't even alive during this, but imagine flying over there to catch the Dead, wow! Without the Dead todays music wouldn't be the same especially acts like Phish, Cheese. and the jam band scene as a whole! Forever DEAD!

[coyote023]

check these cat's out

[californiaportugee]

Jerry looks cute in pigtails :)

[SuperSushibar]

In the land of the limbless, the one armed drummer is king. Horse accident.

[iSkatedashpinecone]

What happened to Bills hand? Haha. I think I remember reading what happened somewhere, I just can't seem to remember?

[AncientDrummer]

If you wanna see Jerry all-out, go to: US Blues, Cameron Auditorium, Duke University, April 12 1978. Now THAT'S over-the-top-Jerry!

[Jerry1996x]

@AncientDrummer sweet, thanks!

[Jerry1996x]

Houston we have lift off. The Garcia has left the ground haha.

[toadshrm]

It never gets old does it?? Even tho we do. These live video always bring a smile and a tear....

[ANDEEDEE1]

This is what is supossed to be

[Mysterytrain420]

Jerry in the middle, hmmmm.

[Gossage54]

@Mysterytrain420 Yes that odd 1978 stage positioning. Always seems weird. I kind of always liked Jerry on stage right in front of Billy, pre-1982. Phil back then would kind of float back in front of BIlly and Mickey and really lock in with the drums. As the years went on and they got more popular and older they lost a lot of the interaction onstage they used to have. Jerry would be off on stage left and Phil would be off on stage right, Bobby would be in the middle doing his 80s Bobby show.

[TheScrotumTickler]

@Gossage54 lol at 80's Bobby show. Pink strat and short shorts.

[Gossage54]

@TheScrotumTickler Yes really a bit disturbing in a way looking back now. It was always cheezy but looking at clips/photos now of that pink strat with the Daisy Dukes......

[sampywamp]

Awesome vid!

[blueroad99]

Wow...'what a deal'

[toecramper]

Wolf and pigtails...WTF ? I MISS THE GREATFUL DEAD

[patrakis2]

Amazing performance! thanks for the vid.

[coyote023]

This is without a shadow of a doubt one of if not thee best deal's i have ever had the pleasure of seeing.It was well worth the trip to cairo to witness these shows.Everybody was waiting for these amazing setlists but to be perfectly honest that kind of setlist was not needed.Just listen to the energy that was on stage these 3 nights,and a complete lunar eclipse was the icing on the cake.What more could one ask for 3 nites,pyramids as the backdrop,the band in great spirits.ENOUGH SAID.peace

[MegaGUNRUNNERIII]

@coyote023..the last night was out of this world...

[silentdreemz85]

The greatest musicians to ever walk the face of the planet.

[Sooperdef]

So awesome : )

[Birdsong58]

[mgouker]

[1BadKitty88]

[sfchild]

this was a 'big deal'...when they played giza...laws and permits abounding...but ..."the dead...at the largest monument for the dead" came off..!

[baranoww]

Going to get me some of that!

[Saiedeh94510]

I just noticed Jerry's pigtails...love that Guy!

[Saiedeh94510]

What a time that was! I miss Jerry... :o(

[YankeeNovember]

Rock & Roll & Jerry forever, a biting track of "A Touch of Gray" would make my day.

[BeaconHillStudios]

Anyone notice the major plaster cast in Billy's left hand? I wonder if he used it to hit anything. Drum solo big drum shot with the cast?

[drbolt]

Jerry's version of "That Lucky Old Sun." It would be a great tribute. Also, "I've Been All Around This World" from Almost Acoustic.

[lionelalonsofa22]

I attended this concert....great memories. Anyone knows of other videos of this concert?



[AsherNasher]

@lionelalonsofa22 Check out the cd/dvd combo, Rocking the Cradle: Egypt 1978. Has a lot of great footage and cd's of the entire show. Worth every penny :)

[UngratefulLiving420]

Is Jerry wearing pigtails?

[DustyEffsky]

Yeah, pigtails - classic!

[hippiejohn33]

Just Jerry Havin Fun !!!

[bluewank]

...and billy playing with one hand!

[SqueezeboxJoe]

OH FUCK YES. THIS IS A WONDERFUL DEAL. God, Jerry is ON POINT with that lead... and that time in its third go-round when Phil takes the melody for a second... wow. This rocks my socks so hard.

[jjd241]

Everybody always rags on Donna, but when she knows her roll, she can really make a song sing! And the fat guy ain't too bad either!

[acent2112]

I aint gonna let this deal go down-

Austin Centolella- drummer, guitarist

[SpiffySpider]

[jbdfc]

@SpiffySpider thats cuz donna was killing his ears man

[bellablue108]

@SpiffySpider lol!!! not so....this is tight....the band was having a total blast during this tune....they were all fully jamming together.

[deadheadable]

[ParkerandLongbaugh]
