Wow. It’s Ice is an incredible piece of music, but Divided Sky is the kind of thing where you go, “Did God whisper this melody to Trey?” … and there is more than one melody in DS that does that to ya.
The DS jam is one of my favorites, because the chord progression of the jam is very unique and makes for some really moving moments.
it’s ice might be my fav leo songs. so glad they brought it back in '00, especially at deer creek.
My wife and most of the world loves DS. I’m much cooler toward it and love It’s Ice as a song much more.
So sick of Sky i need some Ice!
couldn’t have said it better myself. and it’s too bad that ice got such a low seed. the song is pure genius. but if the light was just perfect and your mind was in that place, divided sky would take me soaring.
Nope have to go with Sky. Me like Ice but me love sky. Ice comes from rain, rain comes from clouds, clouds need the sky to form… so from that logic ice has a long way to go before becoming sky.
Ice. I always get lost when he breaks through to the other side of the ice. That is one of the greatest feelings in the world, when a jam goes so out there, that you just completely forget what song it is, and Ice does it to me almost every time. Great stuff.
yeah, Its Ice has one of the most amazing vocal arrangements Phish ever came up with!
Divided Sky is amazing for obvious reasons, but i voted Ice…
i voted for vanilla ice.
^ alright, stop. collaborate and listen…
I have mad respect for Divided Sky, but I rarely listen to it.
I’d much rather hear a sick It’s Ice. The middle section has so much potential.
damn skippy!
i always hoped (i think they actually ended up doing it once at some point) to hear them go into Steep>Swept Away in the middle part!
but really, they coulda used it to go into just about anything!
12.7.97
Ice–Swept Away–>Steep–Ice
^ My thoughts exactly.
ha ha!
figures it’d have been done in one of the most legendary shows, but one i haven’t really studied since i’m such a defender of 12/6/97!
now i gotta go dig out the 12/7 discs wherever the hell they are! ;D
I could get into this long explanation as to why Ice, but I won’t.
It’s Ice by a nose hair.
It’s Ice. Hands down.
Damn this is hard. I LOVE Ice, but shit, I also LOOOOOOVE Sky. I think I’ll have to do DS.
I’m with Justin. Ice is one of my favorites, but I don’t think I could live with myself if I voted against Divided Sky.
Divided Sky. Listening to it turned me from one of those people that thought " when are they gonna sing? How long is this damn song…" to someone who appreciates the hell out of a sick jam.
