"Featuring the two-keyboard, two-guitar, two-drummer, one-bass Grateful Dead lineup, this magnificent, soaring Help/Slip/Franklin's is one of the best of the late-era returns of this trio. In the lineup 1975-1977, 1983-1985, and 1989-1995, this enigmatic addition to the repertoire is one of the most dynamic and ambitious song cycles the Dead ever wrote and performed. From the Summer Tour of 1991 that also featured great shows at Deer Creek, Giants Stadium, Chicago, and Pine Knob, among others, this was the second release in the View From The Vault series." - David Lemieux
The most under-rated stop from Summer 91 was 2-night run at Sandstone in Bonner Springs, KS. with a smokin HelpSlipFrank to open night 1 with a nice Takes A Lot To Laugh, a Supplication Jam between Estimates and UJB, and a sparkling Dew, but it was night 2 when the band really stood up and grew some hair! Solid 1st set mixed in a nice Sugaree/West LA/Candyman 'Turkey' on point and the Music Never Stops 1st set closer was always one of my personal favs. Set II exploded out the gate with a VERY respectable Scarlet/Fire followed by Truckin/Smokestack(I thought this was gonna be my first and only New Speedway ...but no such luck ha!), He's Gone...but the highlight of the run, and for me personally the highlight of the summer was the long slow tease out of Space into Comes A Time...will they bring it?...will they..? Please PLEASE bring it...!? and finally Jerry takes it across the threshold. Comes A Time! One of the most intense moments I ever experienced as the 18K in attendance went into 'hear a pin drop' mode as Jerry poured his heart and soul out all over fly-over country that night. Wow! Then they fire up the turbo thrusters with a GDTRFB before Dr. Bob gives his diagnosis with a set closing Good Lovin! Finally Jer Bear and the boys return to the stage for a BEEEEEEAUTIFUL Baby Blue to close the run. This 2-night scorcher may be the unsung gem of the entire 1990's and is definitely the sleeper of all sleepers in a long list of incredible shows 1991. Would love to see some footage from Sandstone 91 make it's way out of the vault and into the public domain before my time is done here in this 4 dimensional realm called planet Earth. Just sayin' :) :) :)
The graphics really ruin it. Just show them jamming. Thanks for the video but trying to be spacey is just wasted. Do you have the original camera angles? Unpsychoed? That would be very nice for me. Thanks for all you do, nonetheless.
@@goodcitizen6193 they've got to have all the footage just laying around....they need to get an intern on it and bring it to the masses....I dont see why they don't, its money in their pockets when they do.
@@DigDigDig Right! They could post a song a day from 87-95 (presumed HQ Vid Years) for the next 40 years or so before running out of New content. Let that sink in! Ha. C'mon fellas and fellettes, open the tap and let it flow!
I was born with very little low-range hearing so I've never ahd a relationship with bass except in concert. I saw Phil and friends in like 2002 or something and it was the best night of my life. 20 years later my girlfriend gets me qualiity headphones and I can FINALLY HEAR PHIL ANYTIME I WANT. Changes everything about the Dead, he's like 1/3 of the band dynamic.
Nathan Verni I have always felt that Phil Lesh is the most interesting through all of the Grateful Dead history and he always gets a fantastic tone no matter what bass he is using at the moment.
That's a great comment. His bass playing is something you really have to listen to for a protracted period of time to appreciate fully. There's still something to be said for a bass player that can lay down a groove using majority pedal tones, but it just wouldn't be the Grateful Dead, though, and you can honestly say that no one plays quite like him.
This trio of songs will never cease to get me out of a negative mindset. I think its magically symbolic, the way it shifts from the contemplative and slightly dark vibe of help into the tumultuous slipknot which always feels like multiple forces kind of battling back and forth, and abruptly into the wave of love that is fanklin's tower. The final act always serves to remind me to let the past be the past, roll away the hardships of yesterday, and allows me to feel grateful in the present moment. Life is beautifully difficult but these 3 songs will always remind me of the good that balances the bad and that sometimes ya just gotta dance your way through the bullshit. Thank you Jerry
So very please you added a “spot-on” shared insight to a bloodstream we all swim in. Please accepts my heartfelt thoughts for taking a moment to contemplate a unified pulse. Above all else, Be Well, Share Kindness and continue to respect our Mother Earth. ❤️😎✅💭✌️🌹💡
man - the little smirks, head nods, the furrowed brows when searching for something - I miss all of it. So grateful to have been a part of the trip with Captain Jerry
You'll also see Jer kind of curl his lips both before singing a Verse or hitting his solos.. perhaps not all the time but once you catch it, it's never forgotten. Like he's making slight facial gestures as he's putting pieces of the puzzle together in his mind..
For all of the jamming frenzy... they never rushed a note or beat. We are insanely lucky to have witnessed them in this long and random universe of time, just for the fun of it.
The joy on Jerry's face as he plays the first chords of Franklin's Tower and then his trade-off with Hornsby are what the Dead are and will always be about! Everyone in the groove, and share the joy!
He’s just happy because he can remember all the notes to play even after his many comas in rehab ! He misses Brent ! They had a thing no one else ever had with him ! I’m an old deadhead so I know what I’m saying to b the truth plus I kept the parties going for the boys in the band ! Then Jerry started to show up when he heard that I was there !
Loved these 1990 to1995 shows,best times of my life,I saw like 35+ shows 90to95 it all started one day when the pizza delivery guy,came w our pie,it stunk of sweet skunk in the house,and he asked if I had any to get rid of,he became a super close friend of ours,said he was going to see a dead show,I said never listened to them,he and I truck(in) Off to Tinley park,Park, I was hooked for 90 to 1995 And35+shows later,here I am!i don't listen to anything else,so thank you Lenny Girardi( pizza guy) it's changed my life in so many
Charlotte shows in "95" with the Unbroken/Scarlett/Fire , SIMPLY FUCKIN SMOKIN. NUFF SAID. Jerry bebopin back and forth smiling at Bruce, and tradin licks.
Love it when Bobby's guitar is nice and loud in the mix. As much as I missed the interplay between Jerry and Brent during this time, it's nice to see him connecting more with the other guys on stage.
@@samiam7342 bobby tone w dead and company is terrible~ way to treble-ie & flinty, I think he ruins about 1/2: of what could be a nice landscape of music, and micky w the brushes, geezus man....I love this late 80s- early 90s era
This is my absolute FAVORITE linked set of Dead songs. Franklin's Tower changed my life during an acid trip when I was 15. This lovely band helped jump start my mind and love of the guitar and good music.
Couldn’t be more grateful on this rainy Thursday for another killer 91 session. Packing that chem dog and firing up to this groov jam. Thank you Grateful Dead
I remember rocking One From the Vault one morning before high school when I caught my mom bobbing around the kitchen as Franklin's started to flow. It's a real precious memory. I wish I could have taken her to a show back then. She would have been blown away - of course, but I think she would have loved it.
Unfortunately I didn't get to turn my Mom on. I got turned on at 17 , a year after she passed away. I thank a stranger for turning me on. I mean I knew him a very short time. I had just moved from Florida to California and didn't know a soul. Three months after I got there I met my future brother. He was on social security disability and bought my first three shows so I thank him

The band was particularly solid during much of '91. Arguably the last consistent vintage of that era. Bruce really decorates this grouping of tunes well. Nice accenting, never overplaying. I love what I love and I want it that way...
I was at Richland Ohio a little later ( sept?) the cops on horses were dicks but me and the gf had a nice time anyway. we made friends with some dude named Squirrel and his gf Erin. it was a nice clear day and this long redhaired dude I've seen at other shows dancing like a madman in the halls points up at the sky and goes "Loook everybody! It's a raiiiiboww!" and i swear to fucking god there was a rainbow on a clear day . a cheer went across the parking lot like a tidal wave. It was MAGIC!
Bruce probably came into it like a fan and saw that the magic is all but gone. Then he sees Jerry is no more than a performing monkey that supports the rest of the band which sickened Bruce so he decided he couldn’t contribute to that environment and left. That’s when the dead’s publicist releases a statement saying, he pursuing his solo career.
Unapologetically my era of the Dead, firm and fast as they feast on the groove. Art reached a crescendo in the 90's, paved a path directly to a labyrinth of possibilities that we're still trying to resurface from. Still here but missing some finish, got a scrape or two, we wait for someone or something to rehydrate the glue. We all danced together when Jerry played the blues, might find his essence somewhere on UA-cam. Till then, celebrate every memory, every vibe. Show those youngsters how we got along to survive. And ride till the sunsets divide.
“Cats on a tin roof, Dogs in a pile “, nothing left to do but smile Smile smile He’s Gone he’s Gone He’s Goneee. Ain’t nothing gonna bring Bring Him back ⚡️🥀⚡️ Except the Legacy of Grateful Music 🌹
Nice version. Real nice. Of course, that's '91. In other news: I feel like I've been not-too-subtly reminded how much visual effects have improved since I was in high school.
I Love the Dead. 72 shows when Jerry died 😢. It's too late now, but enough with the artsy slow mo - I just want to watch them play!! Especially with Bruce's childlike wonder and smile... Awesome Help On the Way. Well, it was All awesome! Just what this old gal needed tonight!
Paradise waits On the crest of a wave Her angels in flame She has no pain Like a child, she is pure She is not to blame Poised for flight Wings spread bright Spring from night Into the sun Don't stop to run She can fly like a lie She cannot be outdone Tell me the cost I can pay Let me go Tell me love is not lost Sell everything Without love, day to day, Insanity is king I will pay Day by day Anyway Lock, bolt and key Crippled but free I was blind All the time I was learning to see Help on the way I know only this I've got you today Don't fly away 'Cause I love what I love And I want it that way I will stay One more day Like I say Honey, it's you Without love in the dream It will never come true
The two roller coasters at 17:45 are "Drachen Fire" (Blue) and "Loch Ness Monster" (Yellow) at Busch Garden's Williamsburg in VA. Drachen Fire opened the year after this show and thankfully closed in 1998 for being too rough on the riders. Loch Ness Monster is still open to this day!
I was here (as well as the year before. Two RFK Dark Stars in a row!). Drove out from San Diego instead of Graduating from High School. Saw RFK > Sandstone. Very wise decision.
Bruce Hornsby has a look crossed between sheer terror and joy in this cip, but my man is up to the task. Welnick has it in spades here. Only the Dead would have 2 keys players.
Wow, what sound! And I love those shots of Mickey and the way he kind of leaned right and drummed hard to his left... you could see it framed exactly this way from a certain angle on the floor.
I have been watching this obsessively, as this is the ONLY show I ever had front row tix. Haven't seen myself yet, and not sure if I should. I had hair?
I was up front for this one too. GDTS did me right! There was a block of seats on the field near the stage but for the second set crowd surges pretty much destroyed it.
My favorite ever-Help is my Fab song my whole life😌-but the awesomeness of it is so apparent here-i remember Vince at shows-i so miss Jerry Vince Brent-love to the universe for them all and the precious gifts they shared!! They brought me so many smiles and I felt such joy!!!
If I found a magic lantern and a genie came out of it and granted me three wishes my first wish would be to go back to 1988 and be 18 years old again at a dead show.
I've been particularly listening to and watching this UA-cam video of the music of these combination of songs for a while. Everytime I watch it I truly love it. Great camera shots and special effects make it fun. 😂
This is absolutely epic and fantastic to hear Bobby's guitar up in the mix for a change….brilliant recording and mix! Turns out I was there for this RFK show and, ya know, stadiums aren't known for their warm and sonic beauty. Thanks GD for sharing this one with us….stellar!
Slipknot within itself is a piece to be reckoned with but as an overall Help Slipknot/Franklin I'd have to say the drop into Franklin at the Great American Music Hall of '75 is historic.
Bruce almost refused the posotion because Jerry habit was taking him out of the music before anyone says anything i still think jerry is the best then now and forever at what he did
Holy Crap! I think I was at this show. Just graduated Governor Mifflin High School. Went to a party and drove to DC next day on the way to OCMD. Things were done and said on the way but no one knows specifics...
Was at this show. We drove down from Long Island. Then treked back up afterwards. I mainly remember my pal had an extra mail order ticket. He sold it to this girl who was like is this a real ticket. I popped going no we just drove all this way and figured we could sneak in. My buddy even offered to walk to the gate with her to prove they were real.
The 'Magic', spread on THICK! Don't care what anyone says, I was there and they were throwing down steady from '87-'91. Although, '91 was the last of the great tours. Deer Creek Summer '90 & Alpine Valley '89 watch out, "steal your face right off your head" Jear Bear RIP

i love how happy Jerry is when he's looking over at Bruce at the beginning of Franklin's...the best
Me too, only to have Vince stomp all over Hornsbys playing. I really wonder if Vince listened at times.
Charlotte shows in "95" with the Unbroken/Scarlett/Fire , SIMPLY FUCKIN SMOKIN. NUFF SAID. Jerry bebopin back and forth smiling at Bruce, and tradin licks.
I’m always along for the ride on a Hornsby show. Vince isn’t terrible but I don’t know why they brought on two keys players.
Because nobody could do what Brent did u fool !
Like he did with Brent. Bruce was there when Jerry needed him and I will never hate on him.
Saw a lot of shows in 91 including this one. Jerry was playing great and smiling. Great memories
Love it when Bobby's guitar is nice and loud in the mix. As much as I missed the interplay between Jerry and Brent during this time, it's nice to see him connecting more with the other guys on stage.
Very true, Bobby's guitar work really pushes it along. Only he could weave with Jerry like they did.

That into solo from Hornsby on "Franklin's" was a great touch - almost exciting enough to make that brillo pad of his stand on end.
Dont think there will be anything more iconic when they play Help Slip Franklin live watching my mom dance to this shit IS MY LIFE

This is honestly really nice everyone is playing their role and doing it well
One of my Grateful Dead take-aways: "You plant ice, you're gonna harvest wind."
Traveled down I95 from atlantic Canada for this one & the next 2 at Giants stadium- probably the best set of shows I’ve ever been to.
Fantastic rhythms and courageous expounding by the man who defined cosmic jams.
Watching the interplay between Jerry and "The Vulcan" at the beginning of Franklin's was such a joy! I so miss them.
Thank you for letting me be apart of this family for so long.
Such a masterpiece. Everything in perfect time. The flow of these 3 songs will forever make any bad day better.
Not having a good day today. What a tonic to put on the headphones, let the tunes trickle through and smooth the wrinkles away. Thanks for the upload.
Feel ya, and slipping into a funk literally for a bit these past few weeks. So i play this to pull me back to the joy. Soul medicine!
Bruce looks like he truly understands how great his temporary position is. He knows he is lucky AF
nothing lucky about it, Bruce is the best piano player of his generation
I think it can be both. He's incredibly great, and incredibly grateful.
He has the look of someone who just started a new job and really LOVES their new boss.
I thought interviews have shown that Bruce didn't particularly enjoy his tenure with GD.
Bruce probably came into it like a fan and saw that the magic is all but gone. Then he sees Jerry is no more than a performing monkey that supports the rest of the band which sickened Bruce so he decided he couldn’t contribute to that environment and left.

This video captures the Dead in full action! Two keyboards 2 drums Phil's insane 6 string bass playing and two guitars.

This is a tune to play for people who think the Dead couldn't play, unbelievable. It's an intricate, very complicated song and they kill it.
Holy crap they are really on point on this one. I had my phone in my pocket and didn't realize it was even a live improvisation
Awww man, Jerry’s really feelin it goin into Franklin’s. Can’t help but smile smile smile.

Bruce looks like he is TRIPPIN HARD! WOW!
Further than most words can express but eternal gratitude is due here.
Nice version. Real nice. Of course, that's '91. In other news: I feel like I've been not-too-subtly reminded how much visual effects have improved since I was in high school.
Jeez that was fun to watch. They were having such a great time as was I.
I have been learning this entire show on guitar.
💀⚘⚡♥️⚡⚘💀
I Love the Dead. 72 shows when Jerry died 😢.
It's too late now, but enough with the artsy slow mo - I just want to watch them play!! Especially with Bruce's childlike wonder and smile...
Awesome Help On the Way. Well, it was All awesome! Just what this old gal needed tonight!
Roll away the dew! Happy Thursday everyone peace and love to all
'91 shows with Bruce Hornsby were phenomenal
Any show with Bruce
yeah, wish dave would pick a bruce show.
The look on Jerry's face when they come out of Slipknot...priceless
Paradise waits
On the crest of a wave
Her angels in flame
She has no pain
Like a child, she is pure
She is not to blame
Poised for flight
Wings spread bright
Spring from night
Into the sun
Don't stop to run
She can fly like a lie
She cannot be outdone
Tell me the cost
I can pay
Let me go
Tell me love is not lost
Sell everything
Without love, day to day,
Insanity is king
I will pay
Day by day
Anyway
Lock, bolt and key
Crippled but free
I was blind
All the time
I was learning to see
Help on the way
I know only this
I've got you today
Don't fly away
'Cause I love what I love
And I want it that way
I will stay
One more day
Like I say
Honey, it's you
Without love in the dream
It will never come true
I had a nice, happy smile listening + watching to this
The two roller coasters at 17:45 are "Drachen Fire" (Blue) and "Loch Ness Monster" (Yellow) at Busch Garden's Williamsburg in VA. Drachen Fire opened the year after this show and thankfully closed in 1998 for being too rough on the riders. Loch Ness Monster is still open to this day!
I've been going to Busch Gardens for the better part of 40 years. To all the sudden be on both Loch Ness and Drachen Fire was an unexpected trip
9th row center. Great night. Great day. God bless the Grateful Dead.
I was here (as well as the year before. Two RFK Dark Stars in a row!). Drove out from San Diego instead of Graduating from High School. Saw RFK > Sandstone. Very wise decision.
YES, RFK moves in time with sufficient boogie in the upper decks
Hahaha... indeed you made the quintessential choice of a lifetime!
Jerry’s voice in this is awsome
Really good for this late. He always seemed like he loved Franklin’s Tower.
Thanks again. Truly blessed to have been at this show. . . Fine times indeed.
Jerry sounds crisp... Awesome show. Thanks
Haha, Drachen Fire on-ride cameo! A coaster I was a year late to get to experience. So many memories in this great video!
Here's my obligatory weekly comment asking for way more video releases..like everything sitting in the vault. kthx.
How much more is there?
Bruce Hornsby has a look crossed between sheer terror and joy in this cip, but my man is up to the task. Welnick has it in spades here. Only the Dead would have 2 keys players.
Jerry looks like a prophet. Gift from god.
Wow, what sound! And I love those shots of Mickey and the way he kind of leaned right and drummed hard to his left... you could see it framed exactly this way from a certain angle on the floor.
That opening power chord. The bass leads. Hornsby on keys.... Beyond spectacular. Would love to hear a better Help on the way
I have been watching this obsessively, as this is the ONLY show I ever had front row tix. Haven't seen myself yet, and not sure if I should. I had hair?
We all did back then.
I was up front for this one too. GDTS did me right! There was a block of seats on the field near the stage but for the second set crowd surges pretty much destroyed it.
My favorite ever-Help is my Fab song my whole life😌-but the awesomeness of it is so apparent here-i remember Vince at shows-i so miss Jerry Vince Brent-love to the universe for them all and the precious gifts they shared!! They brought me so many smiles and I felt such joy!!!
So glad to be able to reach back and see the boys all over again. Long live the Grateful Dead. ⚡️
without love in the dream itll never come true.too true
IWT third row in front of Bruce. Asked Bruce to play Mandolin Rain. He replied, while pointing towards the Band. I gotta play what they want.
Ooohh….❣️❣️❣️. This came to me at the right moment, made me feel so good….💙💀⚡️🌹♥️
If I found a magic lantern and a genie came out of it and granted me three wishes my first wish would be to go back to 1988 and be 18 years old again at a dead show.
@@Deadhead710 yo mama
@@fernandocrespin7201 just remember 10 years from now whenever people look up the Grateful Dead they find this and not what you think the dead is :).
@Deadhead710 hell yea brother
I love the end. "And that's how you do that," says Jerry to Mickey. Why indeed it is!
I've been particularly listening to and watching this UA-cam video of the music of these combination of songs for a while. Everytime I watch it I truly love it. Great camera shots and special effects make it fun. 😂
Bruce on the ivory's never brought me the smile Brent did. But this was freaking close.
Love seeing clips of shows I attended - thanks!
loving this!!! thank you...an inter-dimensional-time-travelling-moveable-feast
Excellent sound quality. I can hear everyone clearly!
The whole band was firing on all cylinders what a show
God knows how much I miss them
That help on the way is bonkers. Crazy that they were able to play at this level with jerry in the state that he was. Also hell yeah Bruce
This is absolutely epic and fantastic to hear Bobby's guitar up in the mix for a change….brilliant recording and mix! Turns out I was there for this RFK show and, ya know, stadiums aren't known for their warm and sonic beauty. Thanks GD for sharing this one with us….stellar!
I didn't realize there was anyone else there but some backup band to Jerry.
@@Acujeremy How could you be in two places at once when you weren't anywhere at all? :)
Jerry had such smooth playing and tone. RIP to one of the greatest 🙏
Very smooth transition into Franklin’s, then Bruce chimes in! Very nice!
Slipknot jams are some of my favorites the Dead did, 2/26/77 is the gold standard, this one rocks too for sure
5/9/77 disagrees
Peak Picture Framing 5/22/77 has got somethin to say
Slipknot within itself is a piece to be reckoned with but as an overall Help Slipknot/Franklin I'd have to say the drop into Franklin at the Great American Music Hall of '75 is historic.
@@josevillarreal9920 Oh yeah 8/13/75 is some straight up fire
I’ve always found 8/13/75 and 5/22/77 to be the pinnacle versions
Jer bear blowing up, Bobby laying that rhythm with billy and Mickey! Phil dropping bombs son!
was there, thank all the gods
Was at this one! Bruce's presence is similar to Brent's for Jerry I think. Bruce always got it from the get go!
Bruce almost refused the posotion because Jerry habit was taking him out of the music before anyone says anything i still think jerry is the best then now and forever at what he did
beautiful tune !!!
This is pure joy! ❤️⚡️💙
Holy Crap! I think I was at this show. Just graduated Governor Mifflin High School. Went to a party and drove to DC next day on the way to OCMD. Things were done and said on the way but no one knows specifics...
Loving the quality of this video.. The picture is great and the playing is top notch also..
Was at this show. We drove down from Long Island. Then treked back up afterwards. I mainly remember my pal had an extra mail order ticket. He sold it to this girl who was like is this a real ticket. I popped going no we just drove all this way and figured we could sneak in. My buddy even offered to walk to the gate with her to prove they were real.
All these boys are on point.
The 'Magic', spread on THICK! Don't care what anyone says, I was there and they were throwing down steady from '87-'91. Although, '91 was the last of the great tours. Deer Creek Summer '90 & Alpine Valley '89 watch out, "steal your face right off your head" Jear Bear RIP
