Description: Grateful Dead : Downhill From Here : July 17th & 19th, 1989 ( 7/17/1989 + 7/19/1989 ) - Alpine Valley - East Troy, Wisconsin ( WI ) : DVD : 1999 (1989/1999) Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. ( GDP ) : ' Original ! ' First ( 1st ! ) DVD Printing !! 1989 Grateful Dead Summer Tour Show - 7/17/1989 from Alpine Valley in East Troy, WI + 7/19/1989 Alpine Valley Segments ! ... Massive & Historic! '89 Grateful Dead Live !!!!!!! Grateful Dead ' Live ' from Alpine Valley in East Troy, Wisconsin on the Massive & Now-Legendary ! 1989 Summer Tour - Pro-Shot & Digitally remastered DVD Video !!! > > > Hmmm ... Wow. Not sure where to even start with this one. Say " Wow !?! " again ?! Ha ! Well, let's do it this way - on this Legendary ! Dead DVD ! ... When I rented this release for the very-1st-time ( on VHS / VCR Style ! ) from my local ( Eugene ! ) video store ( way back in 1997 ), I remember grabbing it with mixed emotions - naturally, I was bounding with joy since a modern performance was actually publicly / professionally ( Pro-Shot ! ) released in all of it's Glory ! -- and I already knew from my analogs which I'd had for about 8 years ( at that point ) - that the Band absolutely Smoked !! these Alpine Shows - all three nights, period - no questions asked. Bullseye ! type Live-Dead deliveries ... And, I also knew that the 1st night ( 17th ) was the hottest overall night, and both the 18th & 19th were both very-close overall runners up. Wow ( I said ), as this video is taken ( pro-spliced together ) from those two nights even ?!! This can't get better we thought, so out comes the $3.00 bucks for the VCR rental ! Then it just dawned on me, that the title of this video is kind of upsetting - maybe even a ' bit ' offensive, actually ? I thought to myself - hey, the Band wasn't " Downhill " by any means after the '89 Summer Tour ( despite it's unique & consistent-awesomeness - and in '90 too, for that matter ) - but ... I guess there is some ' Downhill Skiing ' at " Alpine Valley ". Hah ! I mean seriously though ... just look at pretty much most of the entire 1990 Summer Tour !! ( gosh, but then we lost Brent - crushing-blow, No-doubt ). How about the 1991 Shows ( Summer at Charlotte, RFK, the Giants Shows & Pine Knob ) many of us saw & all loved ( huh, but the band did have to sustain the hit & run in-and-out-of the band thing by Hornsby ? ) Yeah, but the '92 Summer Tour cooked night after night, I mean I saw like 10 dates in the East !?!? ( yes, but as we know that one almost killed Jerry & swiftly cancelled the long-anticipated '92 Veneta Shows ). Yeah, but he sure looked in fine spirits at the Halloween '92 Oakland JGB Come-Back Show ! & What about the " Triumphant-Return " to Mighty Autzen Stadium in '93, and even in Freedom Hall in KY ??! What ? Some Deadheads say the '93 Cal Expo shows in May were the Final Stand of both Grace ! & Power !! for the Good Ol' Grateful Dead ?!?!? No way I say ... as Garcia played out of this Stratosphere ! all three nights straight ( 2/25/94 ! > 2/26/94 !! > 2/27/94 !!! ) during the Oakland '94 run !!! Please tell me you caught J.G.B. at the Kaiser on 11/11/94 !!?! Wow, then the haunted 1995 East Coast Summer Tour with gate-crashing & people badly injured ( a roof-collapse ? ) ?? But, but I did get to see the last " Great " Show by the Band, didn't I ? That Rex Foundation night ( 5/25/95 ) in Seattle ?? I mean there was a lot of dust & dirt in Portland, but hey - they had their ' on ' moments - right ? Then poof - on we go to a different era, and a hard & sad adjustment period for many of us. Were our heroes actually " Downhill From Here " after this Alpine run & this glorious 1989 Summer Tour ? Well, not to me - still to this day. But when the arguments start coming-on, sometimes it is just easiest to change the subject. Last year, I read an interview where Bob Weir told John K. from Furthur that he felt the Grateful Dead were in their " Prime " in 1989-90. And, actually to quote Weir directly - he said they were " Really Hot " ! Yeah ! get'em Bobby !! As there is no-denying that you are Right-On !!! And then some - seriously ... Well, there were indeed a lot of primes & forms for this Amazing Band - but I guess my ear kind of agrees with Ace ! So, " Downhill From Here " or not -- this '89 Alpine DVD captures one of the best bands ever, and The ! best live-band ever during at least one of their many-many prime periods, and arguably their very-finest ... a complete ' Must-Have ' here ! Please tell me you've seen it ? And, if you haven't - well ... you just made my day, because now I know that you soon will ! The '89 Summer Tour Grateful Dead - in Amazing ! Spirit & Form ... at Alpine Valley !!! Wow ... Enjoy !!!!!
