THE WAIT IS OVER NOW: DEAD'S LEGENDARY 1978 SHOW CD/DVD

Fri, September 12, 2008  

Then the band got wrapped up in finishing their Shakedown Street album (begun before the Egypt venture), and soon the notion of putting out the Egypt album lost its momentum. But there's still lots of usable material available from nights two and three, including: a dynamite "Shakedown Street" (just the second live version ever), an exquisite "Stella Blue, fresh takes on (then-new) songs such as "Stagger Lee" and "I Need A Miracle," and the hypnotic Egyptian tune called "Ollin Arageed" that features Hamza El Din and other percussionists, who are then joined by the Dead for a jam into "Fire on the Mountain."

The concert video, though rough around the edges in places, offers interesting stuff for die hard fans.
