After an extremely slow start, Rhino Records has finally started unveiling new Grateful Dead archival releases at a decent pace. Rhino’s next release–Rocking The Cradle – Egypt 1978–contains 2 CDs and 1 DVD worth of material from the Dead’s historic concerts at Giza. While musically these shows are known for their mediocre performances, we can’t wait to check out the 100+ minute DVD of footage from the third and final Egypt show featuring the backdrop of a rare lunar eclipse.

For more info on Rocking The Cradle – Egypt 1978, which is available on September 30, visit Dead.net. Those folks who pre-order the set will get a bonus CD featuring additional performances from Egypt.

Here’s a look at some local stories from around the country:
