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.

The title of the video is a play on words referring to the steep slope of Alpine Valley's general admission section, and perhaps also to the notion that 1989 through 1990 was the band's final peak period.
