'So Far' is a music documentary video by the Grateful Dead. Directed by Jerry Garcia and Len Dell'Amico, it is intended to give a subjective view of the Grateful Dead experience. The soundtrack includes Dead song performances largely from 1985 (both from a concert on December 31, 1985 and in a rehearsal setting). The visuals combine scenes of the band playing the songs, other Dead related material, computer animation, and found footage that has been altered and edited in various ways.
'So Far' was released on VHS and laserdisc in 1987, and on DVD in 2012 in the 'All the Years Combine' compilation box set. It has a running time of 55 minutes.
