As Grateful Dead HQ continues to dig through their vault for their “All The Years Live” video series, this week’s iteration spotlights Vince Welnick with a June '93 "Way To Go Home."
"'Way To Go Home,' one of Vince Welnick's two original contributions to the Grateful Dead's setlists (along with 'Samba In The Rain,' which debuted in 1994), entered the repertoire in 1992 and was played 92 times by the Dead," writes GD archivist/legacy manager David Lemieux. "Along with a four part harmony on the chorus along with Phil, Bobby, and Jerry, it reliably provided an inspired guitar solo by Jerry, including the excellent solo he plays here in Buffalo on the 1993 Summer Tour. Incidentally, this was my final live Grateful Dead show. 'Way To Go Home' is one of the standout tracks from the Dead's new Ready Or Not album featuring live versions of new songs played by the Dead 1992-1995, including the magnificent 6/28/92 Deer Creek version of Vince's first contribution to the repertoire."
