Subject: If memory serves,
this was the 1st boot I heard in college. I had just discovered that you could trade Dead tapes after having gone to my first set of shows the previous summer. I found a deadhead kid in the dorms and he had this tape. The novelty factor made it a must hear. "Egypt, eh? It's gotta be way cool, man!". I didn't know enough about boots yet or the band to know if it was good quality gen or show ("errr...what's a Betty board?".) Then, over the next coupla years I always heard people dis this run so I haven't heard it again until the archive. Like Woodstock and Monterey, it's nowhere near the flub that people make it out to be. All 78-95 dead shows have their highlights. They sound pleased and relaxed, but this isn't the best show of the run. Tape sounds fine to me for 78. Adding in the historical value makes it one you MIGHT want.

Subject: Interesting show
I give the show 5 stars because the quality is really good for 1978. The intro is AMAZING with the traditional folk music jam into Not Fade Away! Now I'm not a "Donna Hater" because I respect what she does and what she brings to the band...But to listen to her wailing is almost unbearable during Scarlet Begonias.

Subject: Best Ollin Arrageed ever!
The first track, which runs over half an hour, is worth hearing. It starts with an Egyption band (composer and performer Hamza el-Din), then Jerry and Phil join in a jam, then they all join in. Jerry, in particular, "gets it," and the result is enjoyable. (The Dead played the jam, called Ollin Arrageed, several times during Fall of 1978.) There's also a nice transition into Not Fade Away, in the unusual spot near the beginning of the first set.

The rest of the show is average '78. There's a nice They Love Each Other. Samson is a highlight.

Bob's vocals are low in the first set, and some of Jerry's are low on the second, so you have to pick and choose the cuts to find complete audio. But Ollin Arrageed -> NFA seems to be free of problems for the most part.

Subject: Sound 3 : Show 3
I'm not sure what happened to the previous reviewer's download but mine turned out quite nicely. An Egypt show from the master reel, hiss barely noticeable and with lots of jamming, the vocals aren't that big a deal. It's not THAT great a show, however. Nerves, disorientation, whatever... Stream it, download a track and check it out, whichever you like. This IS an interesting show.

Subject: What is this slop?
Microphone issues render the bulk of this show practically an instrumental. Combine that with massive tape hiss, and you have a very unpleasant listening experience. Don't download this unless you have every other show available.
