Phish - 10.31.94 - The Divided Sky - Part I

[AuroraBlue76]

No Halloween until '95 for me *sigh*

[msdaisychainandlaffs]

one beautiful song, hits the heart like an arrow.

[fubsie2]

I feel somewhat honered to have been born on the very night of perhaps the greatest Phish show of all time.

[oreokookie1000]

GREAT TUNE...but that "mary had a lil' lamb" shit at 1:30 ruins it!!!! Why do they gotta be so silly!!!! Get rid of all those fills and frills, trey!!

[mikesome1383]

@oreokookie1000 Not a fill or frill. It's a composed portion of the tune. Tension and release, buddy...tension and release. That section of the tune is a musical palindrome, interestingly. I also think it makes the remaining sections of the song more poignant. You can't appreciate the almost (but not quite) cheesy, soaring melodies without something discordant and off-time having been played behind it.

[oreokookie1000]

@mikesome1383 i agree...however, I think they go way overboard with the silly.......it detracts from the emtional impact of the song...sometimes you don't want the intellectual , you just wanna good tune...I think the beatles had a good balance of the cheesy vs: dissonant backing......the way trey does it is simply jarring and out of place......totally, totally out of place....space...ace....space.­....brace.....

[thingstodo645]

[jets9119]

there shouldnt be a dislike option for this...

[Freedomisnorml420]

i do believe that this is the most incredible performance ever.

[Vinsanity15814]

looks like trey's got restless leg syndrome haha

[Skoxx16]

i listened to this version of this song when i was tripping on mushies, walking through the woods. and now everytime i hear this it reminds of the crazy beautiful things in nature i saw..

[Displaysac90]

Why is Trey wearing swaddling clothes?

[telatela420]

@Displaysac90 those are trey's jedi robes....they help him to harness the powers of the universe and emit them to us via languedoc guitars

[sellthemanicans]

Great fucking video!

[Laycetime]

They are artists and their music sets are meant to and will take you on a journey....they tell a story. close your eyes.

[AlxndrTheGreat]

great song and great perfoming

[jbender23]

Phish works so well because every member is such an accomplished musician. I see it from Trey's perspective because I play guitar as well, and it's so much easier to really get creative and out there with your guitar playing when you have a band that's amazing enough to keep up. Trey can really put forth some amazing stuff because he has the perfect band to complement his style, no matter how bizzare he gets they can still follow. And that goes for every member, not just Trey.

[Euphoriaman]

@jbender23 yeah i feel the same way, i play guitar and have had a couple moments like that with my band. Its really cool when you have like minded musicians and almost equally talented so everything just clicks. Love Phish for that, and there's a lot to learn from these guys...and a lot of other bands too!

[Euphoriaman]

lol trey walking around, awesome show

[Freedomisnorml420]

gives me the chills when i hear the crowd scream like that

[phishrox1]

nice :)

[Ipat42]

I love the oversized shirt and wavy hair days. some of the best.

[notmefuckingname]

trey is just so engergetic here i love it

[kdd3051]

I love this song. Especially since it reminds me of my son (who was 15 years old in 94 & listening to Phish and playing his bass guitar in his room). I would think, my god, this is good, who are they? Beautiful, really beautiful

[antigravitymusic]

Best Year for Phish i must say

[thekrueg56]

nah 96-98 was the best. but you are entitled to your opinion.

[jfmiii]

@thekrueg56: 94 was definitely their best year, imo, with 97 a close 2nd. 94-97 were the best, but what makes those years so great is that theyre all so great but so different bc the sound continued to evolve. 98 was great too, but 94-97 was the true peak Phish.

God, I love this band.

[1000guitar0001]

its all based on opinion.. i really like phish's spin on funk music so i love 98 phish.. its all great music

[mrdlore]

This is my favorite Phish song.

The guitar melody at 5:20 is just amazing

[Etrain1998]

awesome

[TheGarfffff]

This is my favorite video of this song, I've watched this a few times now. Thanks man.

[fiofunk]

[fiofunk]

[petesteck]

[fiofunk]

[drumana]

I was at this show and had a cosmic experience during this song. Seriously.

[cowboysth24]

I believe I was here also. If I remember correctly, (and that's a BIG if), they played the

beatles White Album 2nd set, then played a full 3rd set. Something like a 4-5 hour show, unreal.

[patiencecoral]

jumping! =)

[gamehendge41]

LOVE TREY'S HAIR!

[achildwithoutaneye]

Halloween 94....great great stuff here!!!!
