Why this recording

Premiered on July 18, 2020 on the band's official channel, as part of the Shakedown Stream screenings and the #SaveOurStages campaign, the video presents View From The Vault, the first volume of an archival series. Nearly three hours in standard definition, consistent with a 1990 video source, follow the stadium show from start to finish. The second set runs through “Eyes of the World”, “Estimated Prophet”, “Terrapin Station” and then “Drums” / “Space”. Two Bob Dylan covers mark the night, with “Knockin' on Heaven's Door” at the very end.

This live full concert presents the Grateful Dead at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on July 8, 1990, during their summer tour. The video corresponds to View From The Vault, the first volume of the band’s official archival release series issued by Rhino/Grateful Dead. Led by Jerry Garcia, the lineup features Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann, Mickey Hart and keyboardist Brent Mydland, in one of Mydland’s last performances before his death a few weeks later. The concert works through a repertoire typical of this period, from “Touch of Grey” to “Estimated Prophet,” including the improvised “Drums” / “Space” segment and a closing cover of “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door.” The recording captures the energy of a stadium show and the collective improvisation the Grateful Dead were known for. Uploaded to the band’s official channel as part of the #SaveOurStages campaign supporting independent venues, it stands as a complete document of the set. For fans of rock and Deadhead culture, this full concert offers a faithful window into the group’s sound in the summer of 1990, with the full setlist preserved from set one through the encore.
