I know 2 fans that went. One ended up working for the band because of that trip.

This is special to me because this third night, the eclipse night, is my birthday.

Totally typical second set, (not), opening with a half-hour long Ollin Arrageed--->Fire On The Mountain.

Second-ever Shakedown Street. (Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart).

I can't post an archive link so if someone could that would be great!

Goddamn Grateful Dead!!!!!!

 

Wow, that should be preserved in the GD archives at UCSC!

Thanks Lance

This time lapse of the lunar eclipse by Adrian Boot is cool  (is it real??):

...but my favorite magic moment in Egypt that's captured on video is George Walker planting the GD flag on top of the Pyramid:

Fun fracking fantastic

if I were to ever go on tour.....this would have been the one 

why the hell didn't I join the Hogle boys on this trip. It's kind of a lifelong regret as I prob could have pulledit off

fire on the mountain is one of my absolute favorites   This video drives it even deeper into my heart 

thanks so much for posting  xox

 

So only 250 people went? Was that intentional did they not give people the time to plan?

If I remember correctly it only cost $500 ( Without doing research )

Ohr - thanks for the great pic, new screen saver

I think the deal was they waited until the Giants Stadium show at the beginning of September to have a press conference to make the official announcement, because even though they had the blessing of the State Dept., who knows if some politician with a stick up their ass would take offense at this "drug band" going to Egypt and trying to make a stink about it.

Thankfully they pulled it off.

Amazing.

hey there Local.  I too am a 9/16 birthed human.  happy belated birthday and I hope it was awesome!

Ollin Arageed 

Right on OG! Thanks, I hope you had a nice one also.

Glad you made it to the Marin rock exhibit. Not sure if I'll be able to get there but cool they put it together.

Hopefully one day we can get together for a beverage, once this shit blows over a bit....

Cheers!
