Downhill from Here is a concert performance video by the Grateful Dead. It was recorded at Alpine Valley Music Theatre, near East Troy, Wisconsin, in July, 1989. It was released by Monterey Home Video, on VHS videotape in 1997 and on DVD in 1999, and has a running time of 2 hours 30 minutes. It was released on LaserDisc in 1997 by Pioneer Entertainment.
Most of Downhill From Here was recorded on July 17, 1989. However, the last three songs of the first set from July 17 — "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 album Fallout from the Phil Zone.)
The title of the video is a play on the steep hill that comprises Alpine Valley's general admission section.
