it could just be trey’s tone and the sustain, but it def has that same melody

This has probably been posted somewhere else on here. But maybe not.

In any event, pretty wild. I don’t think I could do this. There’s some crazy ass shit around the 3:00-4:00 minute mark.

I was listening to this show today! I couldn’t help but think about all the pauses over the years and wonder what everyone’s thoughts were on them. Heard opinions from both ends of the spectrum. On the one hand, the energy during the pauses reached so high at times that I just wanted to jump out of my fucking skin. On the other hand, at times, it seemed like another excuse for Trey to stroke his fucking ego. “I’m just gonna stand there and watch you clap for me until I feel like finishing the song. Okay, that’s long enough” :: hit’s THE note::
Anybody have an opinion either way?

#60

This song is incredible. That is all.

#61

agreed. best one i’ve ever seen. if not for the execution (which is just about flawless), then for the moment it represented.

#62

this is by far one of my favorite songs… my favorite version is 11/21/98 . i just listened to the one from F8 and it’s pretty awesome too

#63

This is 100% true for me as well.

#64

They’re streaming this one on livephish.com right now and this version is absolutely epic.

#65

Until last night I never realized how Genesis inspired this song is…and I’ve heard Watcher of the Skies a million times before.

#66

Brooklyn 04 version showed me this.

#67

I had lost my appreciation for this song.

I have probably seen this as much as any other song live, and I kind of get a “meh” when it starts.

But I just listened to the 10-12-10 show.

And that is the best D-sky i 've heard in a long time.

Just a fecking scorcher

:thumbup:

I’m kind of in the uh, not the best song ever camp on this one. It is an amazing piece of music, yes. Trey used to absolutely destroy this tune, yes. But when I’m listening to a show and Divided Sky comes on, I either skip to the next song, or fast forward to the ‘good part’ (where Page comes in with those banging chords and the guitar solo starts). If they start it up at a show I’m at, chances are I’m heading for the pisser :silent: granted I’m usually back for the good part. I don’t know why but for some reason, all of the other composition tunes seem like each part flows from one to the other and the ends don’t make sense unless you listen to the whole thing. Not with this one. I can skip all but the last 5 minutes of it and still get the same feeling at the end.

I also agree with Jeff. It would be waaaaaay sweeter if every body got perfectly quiet and stood perfectly still. Now THAT would be some shit.

I threw on “A Very Special Christmas 3” this morning at breakfast and was reminded that John Popper used parts of Divided Sky for the melody! I actually remember listening to this compilation before I was really into Phish, so I wouldn’t have recognized it the first times I heard it. Turns out there’s a little bit about it here - enjoy!
