Grateful Dead - Help On The Way / Slipknot! / Franklin's Tower (Washington, DC 6/14/91)

"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' :) :) :)

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.

[@jeopardy_music]

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

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.

[@jpwjr1199]

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.

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.

[@seanmcdaniel7041]

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

[@davidsthubbins176]

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.

[@jkwan74]

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.

Man, Jerry bricked HARD on the second verse of Franklin's but pulled it together and killed it the rest of the song

[@gratefuldude85]

I think he gets a pass....

Very smooth transition into Franklin’s, then Bruce chimes in! Very nice!

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

[@paulcanis6297]

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 KZbin. Till then, celebrate every memory, every vibe. Show those youngsters how we got along to survive. And ride till the sunsets divide.

Haha, Drachen Fire on-ride cameo! A coaster I was a year late to get to experience. So many memories in this great video!
