Will you come with me? Won't you come with me? There's no better place to take a long strange trip with the Grateful Dead than right here. We've got music from every single studio album and a bevy of live albums, to boot. There are celebrated live performances from the 70s and 80s and official videos with more skeletons than you can shake your bones at, an exclusive seaside series on what's to come from the band's rich catalog and details on meet-ups all across the promised land. If it's community you’re after, try your hand at our yearly DEAD COVERS PROJECT competition and connect with fellow Dead Heads around the world. Heck, keep your eyes peeled you might even catch a glimpse of Pigpen on keys, Jerry in a GROOVE, Bobby tellin' tales, Mickey talkin' space, Phil and friends, Bill on the beach, or anyone from our extended family.

It's all happenin' right here. Subscribe and you won't miss a thing.

I was at this show and it was a real good one , at one point during the second set I was at the complete opposite end of the stadium from where the stage was set up, I was up in the middle upper rows and I remember being able to hear every single note perfectly, every plink of the piano, every tap on the snare, the rumbling bass, every little detail was dialed in perfectly ,

[@timothyshultz1461]

I was there too bro and I remember how perfect the sound was. I saw 6 shows at the Boston Garden and it took till the 5th show to really nail it. They figured it out fast in RFK and out of 50+ shows this ranks up to one of my fave shows! 👍☺️

[@jount237]

My first show! Life changing experience and grateful for the opportunity at 16 years old. Started in upper deck and jumped the barrier to the lawn/floor around second set. Made it to the front (Jerry side) and just stood in awe for hours at the world of wonder happening around me. Beautiful day that has given me a lifetime of joy and inspiration. Thank you, Grateful Dead!

[@stereodreamer23]

I was at thsi show, and it was spectacular. I was on the second deck, about halfway back, stage right, just off-center. The sound quality was amazing--it wasn't like being at a big stadium show at all--it sounded like I was in a small venue, with every note, every little sound, coming through clear and sweet. Such a great band, with one of the most accurate sound systems in the business. The feeling REALLY came through...

[@randomuserpostingunderhisr7783]

Yeah, but I don't advise too many concerts at the Fillmore East in the front rows. Ask me how I know, but *speak up* when you ask. Fortunately this won't be an issue for anyone reading this unless you can lay your hands on a time machine that can reach back to the 1960s...

[@saulgoodman9403]

I was there as well. I was usually on the floor, where I and a sea of heads danced. Who doesn't miss those General Admission days....!? Camping out to get tickets...standing in line a day or 2 before the shows to be one of the 1st ones on the field.❤ I always enjoyed shows at RFK! The 80's through the early 90's was my stretch of tours/shows. I miss seeing the Jerry Garcia Band jam at Merriweather Post Pavillion, Wolf Trapp National Farm Park, and Bull Run National Park amongst other great venues! There were incredible moments of bluegrass magic that I will never forget. ❤ Good people, good music, good friends, good vibes, good medicine for the soul😉...leaving the shows with a heart full of love. ❤

Matthew Brehm 7-12-90 is my all time favorite show also. Was there also squirming like a liquid snake or lizard from Fear and Loathing. up front near the stage. Jerry was in amazing form. Was there. My favorite: Stranger, Bertha ‘Brent’ on fire, Best Music NStopped ever. Jerrry’s head turned into a lion’s main during the intense solo. His guitar sounded thick and his creativity was percolating. Had almost a 68 sound of electricity.

I was in the left lane, driving 45 at times. Didn’t get pulled over and no one died. I am listening to the show right now on You Tube. So weird.

Didnt have a ticket but found a miracle and i was in. One of the first shows that Bruce played with the band and the first time i saw Bruce with the band. One of the better shows that year. Had a great time. It was one of my last shows because my daughter wss born March of 92. It wouldnt be untill 2011 or 2012 until i saw Dead & Co. About a 21 year gap.

[@heavyjammingreviews3633]

My first Dead show was at RFK stadium when they played with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers and Bob Dylan. I was 15 and had absolutely no clue who all these weird colorful people were. Was there to see Bob Dylan. My brother bought a couple 40ies of Schlitz Malt Liquor ( was the only brew left in the little convenience store there in n.e. DC) and I got pretty darn drunk. Wasn't even a week later and Jerry was in a coma. Luckily for all of us he awoke from that to tremendous new energy and drive for the next few years to come. He sure still has it here. Looks like the band is having the time of their lives.

[@stephengrahn9361]

91 was actually a good year. One could see a future with Bruce after good spring 92, which included some Hampton shows, the May Cal shows had no Bruce. It was JGB only for me from that point. The sound vince produced at times was like fingernails on a chalkboard to my sensibilities. This and the Louisville 90 are the only stadiums i ever attended. I always skipped those way too many people.

[@keseysvenisonchili]

My first show too! I was 13 and only went cause I wanted to see Tom Petty (I had gotten Southern Accents and it quickly became my favorite record). Little did I know what that show would lead to. This night in RFK, and RFK ‘90, were probably top 5 of any I ever attended. ‘91, the last great year...

[@Eagle-tr5oj]

Every week comes the same question. I'll answer again. Most of the shows you see on KZbin are bootlegged. Fans snuck in videocameras and recorded the shows. Thats where 99% of the earlier shows come from. The only shows the Grateful Dead have in THEIR archive were either filmed specifically for release like View From The Vault II or are feeds captured on the summer tour video screens. That is why the bulk of these Shakedown Streams are from that era (late eighties on). If they never added video screens there would be even less professionally filmed video/shows to share. Be GRATEFUL for what we have 25 years after Jerry passed on. You can always watch a bootleg video instead.

[@eboethrasher]

OR some shows, like the ones at the Capitol Theater, were recorded for showing on their indoor closed circuit, etc. The stuff on Music vault is official and not technically bootlegged, but also not released by the band. Those are grey area videos. Also there are the things that were pay-per-view videos that the band is not showing for some reason. I'd love to see some of the New Year's Eve broadcasts on this series.

The best feature on Two From the Vault DVD was/is the 7/12/ 90 RFK bonus video footage from the summer before. Box > Victim > Foolish > Dark Star. The audience and the band connection is at it's peak. Healy on the loose and the rain make for a special second set opener. Phil honors the moment w/ the Box opener. Brent......gone 2 weeks later. Damn. I had 7 copies (only 5 now) of that specific Two From the Vault DVD just for the 7/12/90 filler only so I never do not have that video of pre-set 2 from 7/12/90 in my hands. There were very few moments like that ever seen again by the band. Ever. It is pure gold.

totally ridiculous

[@Stewart2240]

@@PhukIT1865 What's "totally ridiculous" ?

[@jamesslack8894]

Bruce was awesome with the band and yes I think he admired Jerry you can see it in both of their eyes .i was lucky to see him play in the band memories

[@JakkuHunter]

Bruce has that "i can't believe i'm playing with Jerry García and the Dead" look all the time. He's like the kid that got on stage and sat behind the piano.

[@pokemontradingcardgamecoll5934]

Bruce is a legend and I wish that he could have done studio stuff with them before Jerry passed.

Bobby with the short shorts ..whoooaa flashback!

The music never stops - let’s hear it for DC and THE BAND beyond description! We’ll be dancing again when DC makes psychedelic history. Decriminalize Nature DC is at this moment gathering the final signatures to put Initiative 81 - decriminalizing 🍄entheogens - on the ballot this November. Thank you for your psychedelic support! ❤️⚡️💙 And God bless the Grateful Dead.

Anything to subjugate and distract the masses while they rob the treasury and our rights right out from under our asses. This isn't really the time to applaud something that should've been done long ago. Need to pay attention and stay vigilant brothers and sisters.

[@jerrysmiddlefinger930]

Klen McRock rob the treasury? Sorry but that vault has been empty for a long time. What we’re watching now is the one of the only vaults left!

[@mkwilson38]

Klen McRock , It is ALWAYS time applaud positive change or a movement towards it. Don’t let the trudging forward of this seeming unstoppable totalitarian-tiptoe stop you from recognizing what positives we can muster out of it.

Love the performance thank you for posting. From a Dead head fan.

I went to a show in LA when I was 16 don’t remember anything other then everyone was dancing 😊

Never forget Bruce Hornsby in Vegas with that top hat and I swear his fingers were 10 inches long tickling that baby grand. It was magic

It's a shame Bruce did not stay with them. Vince is good, but Bruce has a vibe that fit the band better. And his keyboard skills are more like Brent's.

[@williammurray5939]

Sold balloons in lot, cops on the lookout , laid my big tank down in back seat of rental sedan, propped up nozzle end to just inside back window, had everyone in line sit on their asses and shuffle to car so cops walking by wouldnt see line of people, line was 25-50 people all shuffling on butts on grass , crouching down as they slipped away with their balloons, f-ing hilarious.

[@brucegrossman3531]

Was at this show. We drove down from Long Island. It felt like the whole stadium was shaking during the opening of Help On The Way.
