SOUTHWEST Region - Round 2 (#3 D. Sky v #11 BOAF)

Vote!

I just don’t know…Divided was one of those first phish songs that I fell in love with, but it just doesn’t do that much for me anymore unless it is a really special version. BOAF is just as hit or miss, if not moreso, but sometimes when it hits it hits me a lot harder than Divided can. This is a toughie…I don’t like voting against anything gamehenge related, and I’ve been tending to vote for a lot of SOTG material in this contest, but I think I’ve got to give it to the Birds in this round.

Never been a fan of Birds.

Always been a fan of Divided Sky.

I think I see some birds in that picture.

or at least a group flocking outside.

^^^Very nice.

I was against BOAF for a while. The IT version really struck me as, “oh okay, NOW I get it.” Still no Sky.

Sky

for some reason i’m tempted to vote against Divided Sky…

but i didn’t.

as much as i grew tired of the “silent jam” in DS, to disrespect it is to disrespect the original time it happened, and having witnessed a real Silent Jam in the YEM on 12/2/99, i can’t even imagine or vote against the power of what it was like the first time.

BOAF can be great, but for every great BOAF, there are 10+ great Divided Sky’s.

Birds got a bad matchup here. Divided sky owns it. Birds is a cool tune. But Divided sky owns it any day of the week.

^except, perhaps, the elusive 8th day of the week. Birds can have that one.

^Hell, I’ll even give it Feb. 29th

Had to go with Sky.

The Divided Sky. Because Birds was never as good in '98 as it should have been.

^You’re really scaring me.

The Divided Sky.
