The latest installment of the Grateful Dead’s “All the Years Live” video series features crisp pro-shot Footage of the band laying down a 24-minute rendition of “Help on the Way/Slipknot!/Franklin’s Tower.” The five-star performance is from June 14, 1991 at RFK Stadium in Washington D.C. The post-Mydland lineup includes keyboardists Vince Welnick and Bruce Hornsby.

Here’s how Dead uber-archivist David Lemieux sets it up:

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.
