View from the Vault, Volume Two (or View from the Vault II) is the second entry in the "View from the Vault" series by the Grateful Dead. It was released simultaneously as a three-disk CD and a one-disk DVD. This volume features the June 14, 1991 concert at Robert F.

The video uses audio from March 30, 1994, Atlanta, which was previously released on So Many Roads (1965–1995).^[3] The "Rubin and Cherise" on the DVD menu is from the show on June 9, 1991.
