What happens

Downhill from Here is a concert video by the rock band the Grateful Dead. It was recorded at Alpine Valley Music Theatre, near East Troy, Wisconsin, in July 1989. It was produced by Len Dell'Amico and Grateful Dead Productions. It was released by Monterey Home Video on VHS in 1997 and on DVD in 1999, and by Pioneer Entertainment on LaserDisc in 1997. The video has a running time of two and a half hours. Most of Downhill From Here was recorded on July 17, 1989. However, the last four songs of the first set – "Row Jimmy", "When I Paint My Masterpiece", "When Push Comes to Shove", and "The Music Never Stopped" – have been replaced with the last three songs of the first set from July 19 – "West L.A. Fadeaway", "Desolation Row", and "Deal". "The Music Never Stopped" from July 17 is included in the albums Weir Here and Fallout from the Phil Zone. The latter also includes "Box of Rain" from July 19, and "Foolish Heart" from that date is a bonus track on Built to Last. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
