So Many Roads (1965–1995) is a five-disc box set by the Grateful Dead. Primarily consisting of concert recordings from different periods of the band's history, it also contains several songs recorded in the studio. All but one of the forty-two tracks (forty-seven songs; duration: 6 hours, 26 minutes) were previously unreleased. The album was released on November 7, 1999. It was certified a gold record by the RIAA on April 12, 2000. The title of the album comes from the Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter song of the same name; the version included is from the group's final concert. A single disc sampler called So Many Roads (1965–1995) Sampler was released to various media outlets. After track two, the fifth disc contains live or rehearsal versions of songs that apparently would have gone into the making of the band's never finished 14th studio album. Of particular interest to many DeadHeads, many of whom are attracted to the Grateful Dead for the often improvisational nature of their live performances, So Many Roads (1965–1995) contains six "jams": In addition, there are many significantly extended tracks, including fourteen tracks over ten minutes long, and two tracks over twenty minutes long ("Dark Star / China Cat Sunflower /The Eleven", on Disc One, and "That's It for the Other One", on Disc Two.

So Many Roads (1965–1995) Sampler

So Many Roads (1965–1995) Sampler was a promotional sampler for the box set So Many Roads (1965–1995). This promo disc was released prior to the release of the box set. "Passenger" was omitted from the final box set release due to lack of space. This track does, however, appear on Dick's Picks Volume 29.
