In this week’s Lion’s Den, host George Lyons takes listeners on a four-hour odyssey through one of rock’s most transcendent moments—the Grateful Dead’s 1978 concerts beneath the Great Pyramid of Giza. Blending live cuts from Rockin’ the Cradle: Egypt 1978 with commentary, historical notes, and the signature Lion’s Den groove, George explores how this legendary performance bridged cultures, sound, and spirituality. Along the way, he weaves in deep cuts from Massive Attack, Peace Orchestra, Little Feat, and Ben Harper, creating a seamless journey through jazz, psychedelia, and soul.
