'An aphorism, properly stamped and molded, has not been "deciphered" when it has simply been read; rather one has then to begin its interpretation, for which is required an art of interpretation.' -- Nietzsche, 'On the Genealogy of Morals'

Grateful Dead: View from the vault vol. 2 « Previous | |Next »
December 22, 2011

View from the Vault is a four-part series of live DVDs and companion soundtracks by the Grateful Dead in its latter incarnation--from 1987 to 1991 The audio is taken from the soundboard and the video from the video screens at the concerts. Each volume was released simultaneously as an album on CD and as a concert performance video on DVD.

This is the June 14 1991 concert at the Robert F Kennedy Stadium, Washington DC. It took place after the death of the Dead's keyboardist, Brent Mydland, in late July of 1990. This is the only Grateful Dead video release featuring Vince Welnick and Bruce Hornsby.

It is taken from the live video feed that aired during the concert and it shows Bruce Hornsby adding life to the band, It was a pity that his was such a short tenure with the band--he was a part time member of the band from September 1990 to March 1992. Hornsby had the musical versatility and ability to slip in and out of extended freeform jams.

The musical path he choose was a restless, sometimes bewildering, foray into experimentation, heavy on jazz and improvisation; a spirit of adventure, of having melodies and interludes seamlessly shift, of having time turn elastic.
