- Grateful Dead - This is one of the monumental Jerry ballads from the later years. Enjoy this one folks... it will definitely ease your soul. Anyone who knows Jerry's music will understand what this song meant to him. An affirmation and definition of his life and travels.
This particular show was one of the highlights of my Dead touring days, easily one of the more inspired nights Jerry's final years in my opinion. Thank you Jerry for being here, although for not nearly long enough.
So Many Roads is one of those songs that could literally make a person shed several tears. For as many struggles; as well as moments of glory, Jerry represented the average American citizen. Jerry will always be missed, and for those who never opened their minds and hearts to this music, its too bad they missed so much!
imagine not being a deadhead. couldn't be me.

@@leshtricityI’ve tried to understand for more than 50 years. How is it possible that not everyone experiences the magic?!? There is simply exists no answer …
I always shed tears when i hear this song. Same with i will take you home for Brent..
Was there. Jerry was weak but this Song says it all. Jerry finally went home. Bless him
Guys, the beauty of it IS HIS WEAK VOCALS, FORGETTING THE WORDS, get it? He is sick, BUT HE CAN'T STOP PLAYING!!. Moron saying it isn't good, you are not looking at it the right way. You can see his humanity. Bob has to start sing the line, "Wind inside, wind out side, dangling the window blind" in order to remind Jerry of what verse is coming. He knew Jerry would forgt. You can hear the weakness in his voice, but he is like some incredibly delicate angel, his voice break and out f breath. It's darn near the most heartbreaking and beautiful thing I have ever heard. No, the weaknes, forgetfulness, it shows his humanity, his life, his death, THAT'S WHY it's awesome and haunting. See it the right way, please.
I love your heart.
+musicdreamerish technically, there is no "right way," dude. but you're pretty damn close if there was one.
+musicdreamerish You're right. That's the sheer beauty of it :)
Long live Jerry!
+musicdreamerish *_Greatfully agree'd_*
musicdreamerish couldn't agree more man
Jerry is crying, and this song naturally came to mind during a really hard stretch of life, and I learned the words by heart hearing it over and over. This music gave us so much. And Deadheads are the best family in the world. What a beautiful thing.
If you like drugs, having gross sex with unclean people and believing that this is the best music ever. Then yeah, deadheads are cool. As long as you agree with them.
Jerry Garcia makes me cry when I play his songs
Back at ya brother!
Jerry was tired and broken, but what a soul to sing and play until the very end
Feeling good in texas , still, I teared up watching this.
😎❤
😪
Word. He may have forgotten the lyrics but his guitar playing was still 🔥
@SirAlexOfTheGuitar is ok, we will sing the lyrics for him. He is a life saver. ✌️🌹🙋🏼♀️
I was so lost at this point in my life, yet moments like this one gave me more joy than I had ever experienced. The Jerry ballads always just overwhelmed me and made made laugh, cry, and scream in anger all at the same time. Falling in love and Grateful Dead shows will always be some of my favorite moments in life.
No guitarist comes close to the feelings that Jerry could convey through six strings..RIP, we love and miss you
I really want you to think about how wrong you are for a second.
@@joeldecotis8986name one and I'll write an essay explaining how and why you're wrong. seriously. try.
Absolutely right on my friend
@@joeldecotis8986you don't belong here
@@leshtricity ummm... 🤔 SRV, doc Watson, Mississippi John hurt shit even Elizabeth Cotten. I mean the list goes on forever...
Makes me think of all the wrong roads I’ve taken. I can’t turn around now and correct the wrong ones. This song tears at the fabric of my poor soul
I felt the same way for a time. Best words I ever heard were from Jerry, He said I was going to be OK. Thats all he said but He KNEW that I would be. He himself made big mistakes, I trusted his wisdom and have done great things since. Love to you, the children will be home soon.
@@danielcartwright6545 Hold up now, were you a spinner? 😃 Just kidding with you my friend, much love and happy that you're doing well.
I cried my eyes out in pure happiness at Soldiers 95 when I heard this song.There wasnt a dry eye anywhere around me that night.There was a weird feeling that this was gonna be it and it was.I miss the concerts alot.Something I really looked forward to.I met some really Beautiful people along they way.
We are very fortunate to have been alive during the span of time that this man and his band produced such passionate sweet music. His death was merely physical, the notes he played will resonate for eternity. Miss ya every day dude, hope you found the road home.
My dad isnt very internet savy and I showed him some of these videos, hes been to 49 dead shows and my mom like 60+. Brought tears to my dads eyes.Some powerful music and jery was an icon.
right on man, hope your folks are still grooving to the music that never stopped
Jerry still is an icon.
I’ve been a dead fan since they started, But I’ve only been to three concerts, the last was in California I retired from 29 years in the Navy two days afterwards
147 my friend
I’m only 16 never got to see jerry live but i wish jerry could still be playing watching him in his last performances is sad and he’s still playing with so much grace n soul . Wish I could experience the dead era but Jerry’s soul n art lives on for future genarations in his music 🎶 ☮️ thankful for what he left for all of us 🙌🙌
amen to that
Solid comment brother!
Never can get tired of listening to Jerry & the Dead. I was turned on to them back in 75. Seen Jerry and Bob on solo tour in 76 and then the Dead in 78. Just recently saw Bob & Ratdog in 07 and still sounding great. We miss you Jerry, hope you are "Standing on the Moon" with "Peggy-O" and a "Box of Rain" getting ready to travel "So Many Roads" to "Franklin's Tower"
Peace!
This is difficult to watch for me because the pain inside of him comes pouring out, I watch it and cry with him.
I'm a 64 year old Vietvet. I have played guitar all my life. Into a few different styles of music but I've never listened to a side of Grateful Dead and until a few days ago I couldn't tell you one song they sang. I've evidently missed much. Jerry must have been a special gift. The comments columns are a rare phenomena. I've been reading the columns and I feel as if I'm sitting in at a family reunion where everyone seems ot like each other. Thanks.
Jerry gave us all his soul...its dripping out in rivers on this tune...LOVE YA JERRY.
This performance has something truly magical to it... Jerry’s 6 string confession on the emotional/physical reality of near nonstop decades on the road + a beautiful, sad, and deeply reflective lyrical journey , some of the most transcendent, raw, and expressive soloing I’ve ever heard hitting so perfectly, flowing in perfect contrast to the backing, and negating the few minor lyrical mumbles..
It’s always conveyed a very strange blend of induced depression from witnessing a genius wasting away, yet mixed with immeasurable respect for the artists soul still shining through to tell the story of all the roads he’s traveled, searching for one to bring him one. To ease his soul..
As sad as it is hearing him mumble through and forget a few lines, it just really further exemplifies the authenticity and natural artistic depth involved.. Just over a year later he would be gone, age 53, succumbing to addictions, poor health/habits, heartbreakingly passing during a long overdue stay at a drug rehab center
There’s a later live ‘95 version of “So Many Roads’, prob the last time Jerry played it.. but it didn’t do much for me ... 1994
Love your username HAIL BOOGNISH 🤘
Love the 95 one for different reasons. It's definitely one of the most heart wrenching dead performances I've heard
Never has anything so tough to watch sounded so great.
Never really a big dead fan but a friend of mine from high school died last week and one of his best friends posted this song as a tribute. Maybe it's the poignancy of the situation but can't stop listening to the song.........Great song but very sad! God Bless you BJ, you will be missed by many!!!
this song always flows some tears. thank you jerry, thank you grateful family!
thanks for this.
I attended 171 shows from 1975 to 1993....and I chereish all the memories!!
Typing through tears.
As much as jerry might’ve forgotten the words , his guitar playing never faltered. Amazing guitarist!! RIP JERRY. PEACE!!!
I remember this day, what a concert. I hit the whole west coast that year. Brings back goose bumps. You dead heads would understand. Nothing beat a dead show.
I do love this one the best, Jerry all in purple with hair blown back in the wind. Man, it sure does ease my soul.
5:40 on.... brings tears to my eyes. Everything he had, left on stage for all to enjoy. Thank you Jerry.
It was the day before my 50th birthday when, as I walked along a sun drenched road, that the radio whispered in my ear telling me that Jerry had passed and I sat on a large stone and cried. It all rolls into one.
I was in the shower when the radio announced it, I had my thumb out on hwy 101 before noon that day. Met some awesome people on the trip there to the polo fields for the service.
*****
Oddly I was just this morning thinking, "has it been 19 years already?" as I listened to "Standing on the Moon" RIP brother
energyquicksand
thats hard to believe... i spent the summer of 94 on tour and im so glad for the experience.
What is hard to believe? I do not understand your comment, Whom other than Jerry has such a great following? He is in my heart as I hope he is in yours. If you want a flier from the dirge, write me. Always free.
*****
hard to believe hes been gone so long... he was such a big part of my life and still is.
this man and his music moved me thru a very dark place in my life. He continues to do this every day....thats powerful. Miss u jerry, forever grateful.
this has got to be one of the most peaceful songs recorded
Pure grace and honor to this genre. Thanx Fellas.
Always faithful. M circle.
I wonder if anyone in attendance realised that this poignant performance would be one of Jerry's last? He's playing like he knew it. Such a beautiful song, and such an emotional performance. Thanks for posting this.
Doubt it. I saw the next to last show and didn't have that feeling
This song is a masterpiece, and Jerry, he is just incredible, some people just dont understand the pure beauty of his soft and weak voice in the later years, he is amazing!
The Grateful Dead makes everything worth it. whenever i feel down i just play some of their music and suddenly i feel amazing... nothing else matters. thank you so much to everyone who keeps their music going!!
AMAZING! love how Jerry mumbles the lyrics while Bob tries to keep him on track. He used to get so lost in the music and sweated it out from every pore!
My favorite balad Jerry sang in the 90's along with Morning Dew.
Brings me to tears
mindblowing....dont know who or why anyone would want to criticize this obviously heartfelt prrformance
Thanks for the memories guys... 200 or so shows by the time I was 15... Great way to grow up.
I simply cannot ever listen to this loud enough
This one and Standing On the Moon gets me every single time. Jerry wherever you are, was is it ease or tease or both??
I saw this song performed on a few occasions, always very moving, and years later with a few more miles under my belt it means so much more than Jerry could have or maybe wanted to imagine given his genuine humility, to me and so many others who are just trying to find their way it's a timeless gift!
Thankfully it wasn't too long after this until Jerry found a road to ease his soul. Peace guys.
I was at the Pittsburgh show a year later, didn't realize it at the time but watching the recording it was easy to see how far gone Jerry was and shouldn't have been surprised he died 60 days later.... he poured out his soul and left it all for us to breathe in for years to come
As i sit here tears in my eyes and compleatly sober, which might be a good thing.My step grandfather is 600 miles away at his house on his favorite recliner with no breath in his lungs, morphine drip on his waist and every rib exposed and cancer covering his lungs. With a pastor and all his family by his side, I dedicate this song to Larry Lang, he was as good a man as can be. Bless your heart Larry as you take your last few breaths on Earth know we love you and will see you again!

Jerry didn't even start singing and the tears were already streaming down my face. So So hard to listen to without crying.
It does not seem possible that 13 years have passed.
Funny, I just came by to leave a note to say the same thing.
Isn't it beautiful ? It seems to get better every time I listen, and it just gives me great comfort. To let the mind follow the music, and at the end I always see one thing:
Jerry is smiling down from above, with the gentle thought that his creations still touch his fans, as though each of us was standing next to him.
I miss him. I really miss him.
Days Between is one of my favorite Jerry ballads too. That one and Comes a Time.
Heartwrenching. Tear up Every Time I watch and listen to this. So sad to see Jerry in this condition. The pain and suffering is over. RIP JERRY!
Why did we let it happen?
@@sde9815 We didn't let it happen. Jerry knew how it was going to go down. I can't explain the why's and wherefores, just know that he was the captain of his joy and his pain, and that he was never one to cast blame on the fans, or the band, or anyone or anything else. Peace to you, best wishes, and take care.
top 10 in my opinion, Garcia showing that he still had it all the way until his final days on this planet. A true artist, A true inspiration to all, and a true legend! God bless this band and the history and Art that they have created for all of the Human race to embrace and love and create!
This was one of my favorite "So Many Roads" I ever saw Jerry perform. So heartfelt.
I still remember hearing people saying "piss song" as they ventured away.
I only wish I was in Vegas now seeing Jerry n the boys. Loved seeing them out there. Good times.
ahhhh the Vegas shows .... thunder and lightning during drums, Jerrys little dry humor crack when folks were passing out in the front of the stage from the heat, so many fond memories .....
I still wake up and cant believe its true. I miss you brother. I pray to God your there at the end of my road to ease my soul.
i caught jerry at th end of his road. a young 15 or 16 i was. 15 years later i can still see all the roads traveled. i used to tell my dad it wasnt my fault jerry followed me all other the country, lol. love it.
I saw the dead 144 times, and I do still miss Jerry. Watching this stuff is great and brings back lots of good memories of music and friends. Its too bad it had to end.
bt
I know your soul is at ease now Jerry. We miss you and we LOVE you.
Made me cry. Those memories of seeing Jer, every summer will be with me forever. Thank you!
Cant watch this and not cry the happiest tears recognizing one of the most beautiful souls that has ever walked this earth. One of the best of Jerry's last few belts for sure, makes me smile
NY to SF, so many roads I've known...
... all I want is one to take me home.
God bless you Jerry. We all miss you terribly.
So many roads....i just want one to lead me home..
Thank you Jerry for so many memories...so many memories that lead me to tour.
Jerry was a giver and the more we gave him the more he gave us it was a true love relationship nothing short.
As a 90s Grateful Dead fan, for better or worse, it doesn't get any better than this...
this was my first show and hardly remember it. Not because I was high but because I was six years old. Momma always told me hugs not drugs...15 years of tears in my house Jerry... we miss you!!!
so long before we see a human as fine as jerry, the joyfull warrior, perenial troubador, so long
So many shows with Jerry. So many years together. So many songs I love. So many roads.
this is my first song of Grateful. I heard them and this song today for the first time, because I felt ashamed I didn't know any of their songs. And I can't stop listening to this
Just recently became a Dead fan . Never knew wat I was missing . RIP JERRY ultimate hippie
the grateful dead formed in 65' and performed till 95' gratest band ever definitly the longest and stragest trip to date...love ya jerr
Beaten warriors. Child of the Universe. Brother to us all. This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
yes im only 16. your extremely fortunate to have been able to have jerry and the dead be such a large part of your life. and even though i was never able to see them, i did grow up with their music thanks to my dad and their music has always been magic to me.
dude i am a 22 year old and all i listen to is rock and roll i hate today s music and the grateful dead is my favorite band they open my eyes to good music man the grateful dead music will never stop
A guitar master at work
I miss you Jerry. You sat in my chair in my bedroom and said that I will be okay in 95,
I am ok Jerry, I miss you and I wish you would visit again. I need inspiration.
I love you Jerry and I will never forget. It was scary back then but you reassured me and I made it through. Come back Jerry, just for a moment. Please Jerry.
Of all the things I have gained and then lost in this life, I was most surprised at how much it hurt when we lost Jerry. He will forever live in my heart.
Doesn't seem possible that it was 19 years ago that we lost Jerry. I miss him more now than then.
Send an sase
I was at this show and loved it. This was the last set of shows I ever went to. Miss you Jerry.
It looks like Jerry reached deep down for this one. What a treat it was to see the Dead and the many incarnations of the Jerry Garcia Band. Thanks Jerry.
depending on my mood, this tune can bring me either a smile or a tear, but both are great.
i miss jerry dearly i wish he were still around to grace us with his great music
SoManyRoads via this video brings up tears of joy.......thank you Jerry the music will keep on for my lifetime!!!!
grateful dead... either you get it or you don't. i'm one of the lucky ones who do. so much good music they left us with... they new it was special a long time ago. they took the time from the very beginning to master how to record their shows. now we have access to more of our favorite band than any other band out there. it's pretty amazing i think with all the file-trading going on today... there are alot of new people being turned on to this music.
Jerry's haunting riffs from Rosebud echo still.
So many roads to get to the wonderful shows I shared with so many others over the years.
This ballad is as good as it was in 1992 when Jerry first played it in Oakland.
"From the High road to the low, so many roads I know.." Memories forever.
I grew up with original hippies, and I have to tell you, nothing feels like home like the soft warm velvet sandpaper of the dead on a summer night. Jerry, you might be dead, but we are always grateful.
I've never seen pain so beautifully expressed.
No, but we can relive the magic every day by remembering the beauty of those moments in time when life was different. Being at shows, meeting friends and being accepted as someone seeking the peace and wonderment of Dead space and time and Jerry's guitar singing to us the songs we all know so well. Jerry's spirit lives on through his music.
Jerry is not dead. His gifts to all of us keep the flame of his life burning brightly inside us all.
******* Don't let that flame go out !
If this doesn't speak to you, you have no soul. Gives me shivers. Simply beautiful
you can close your eyes n rock your soul to sleep n mind on a strange comfortable trip during this song..love ya jerry
I miss you Jerry, you are like a part of me I never got to see or hear, I wish for that one moment, just that once when I stand in a live GD concert,even when I listen to your songs, it touches the soul somewhere deep down there....Thank you Jerry, after all its just a box of rain
the beauty and peace ive felt from this song and many others a culture of ppl following them around trading and helping one another in a time and space we all belonged as one loving sharing it was a beautiful time to be in for the ppl who was there and did belong and do know, this oong is for all us jerrys kids ... bobby spit on me !!!
This is the last show from Las Vegas, how true about the words, just hits you like a ton of steel. I am glad to have soo many memories of the boys from the start to the end. Never too old to hear, listen and enjoy. Thanks Jerry, you weren't the best at what you did you were the only one to do what you did.
god...this takes me back to a different time...one i will never forget. How does someone have so much soul? His words will never fade
Im a complete Dead Head without ever seen an actual "Grateful Dead" show. Im a Dead Head born and raised and have seen multiple post Jerry line ups. Everyday the fact that I will never see Jerry and never get to experience what it was like back in the day brings me down. Tears streaming down my face right now. I miss Jerry and I never even saw him...
I still come back to get more, and the sweet sound of Rosebud singing to me. Straightens up a crooked day for sure.
So many roads, so many roads......
...yet another GD song that almost brings a tear to my eye, such a beautiful piece of music. Wow.
best guitarist ever!!!! i miss jammin with him..I LOVE YA JERRY BROTHER!!
Jerry is still and will always be one of the greatest men that ever lived.
The Dead at the Garden was magic...makes the hair stand up on end...I was a high school teenager during these last few years and although disappointed I hadn’t been older to experience more, I thank God I was old enough to get a good enough taste of live Jerry, the Dead, and the scene to help ease my soul through all my remaining days...
it makes me happy when i think about how lucky i am to have been @ these shows
in my opinion it doesnt matter what jerry was told he wouldnt have been grate as he was if he didnt take his personal path whether selfsish or just because he was going to do what he was going to do.... i love you jerry you come alive every day trhough your music..... you speak the language of my soul... wonderin why they treat me so unkind.... thank you jerry...all i want is one to take me home
I was not a big fan in the day..but their music has grown on me over the years...gret stuff
for one reason or another i find myself keep coming back to this video. god bless jerry garcia
Seeing the Grateful Dead with Garcia was some of the best times in my life. While I listen to a lot of other bands there is no experiance like that of seeing Jerry and the boys play.
me and my girlfriend fell in love to this song at shwagstock 43. there was a tribute on echo bluff. one of the best nights of my life and il never forget it. R.I.P jerry garcia. uve touched so many lives and still are even tho ur not here. deadhead for life
