I don't know much about Trey Anastasio personally, I've never met him, but his presence seems to have such a sense of grace and generosity about it. I'm very grateful for what that brings to my life.
That's awesome, I always thought going back to 92 when I started getting in to Phish,that the reason for the pause was to get the crowd to complete silence. It never seemed to work out
This was one of the most beautiful renditions of Divided Sky I have ever heard. The next day, I was driving up scenic 23A in the Catskills, with the fall foilage all aglow heading to meet some amazing Phish women to donan afternoon hike, giving the show a relisten. Divided sky came on at the moment I was about to hit the most beautiful part of my drive, and followed with Sigma Oasis when I arrived to my destination, singing "you're already there." I will always cherish the moment of that DS replaying just before I met up with Phamily I haven't seen in over a year and one phamily member who I finally met in person. The hardest part was not all being able to hug each other. But we held tight fist bumps!
A guy in my buddies band went to UVM with the boys. Apparently Trey's roomie for a bit in the same music program. He's got one of the earliest Languedoc's outside the band. Been able to see him play that up very close a bunch. I also saw some tiny early bar gigs. So got to see Trey's 1st Languedoc fairly close a few times.
Nice that Trey gives back with this Divided Sky Fund. Im not surprised at his kindness. My first Phish show was mid 90's. I saw many. I also got addicted to opioid which im not proud of. Trey was a victim too and I will contribute to support this fund against this dreadful disease. My fav. tune
I heard Divided Sky for the first time when i was 13 yrs old. I was staying with my older brothers at their beach house for a week. Their “couch guy” roommate got me super stoned and played this song for me and it changed my life forever. I had just started playing guitar at the time and it completely shaped the direction of my playing style to this day. Later in life, i struggled with alcohol addiction but by with the help of my loving and compassionate friends, i was able to get thru it. The fact that Trey started a fund called The Divided Sky Fund for compassionate addiction assistance hits home to me on multiple levels.
Once took a high school road trip from San Francisco to Santa Barbara. Me and two friends stayed with a brother. Couch Guy woke us up with bong gurgling, and inevitably got us All super Wake and baked. Grateful story. Can relate 🍄🌍🍄🐟🐟🐟🍄
Was a little worried for this one without the fellas. This is my favorite Phish tune and this is one of the best versions. The piano player crushed it.
I love all of the other musicians that are being brought in, its a rich tapestry, ty for sharing your beautiful music with the world, we need it badly rn
Divided Sky is one of the very first Phish songs I was introduced to, many years ago, and it has always been a favorite. I especially enjoy the idiosyncratic, off-tempo passage, a couple of minutes in, as it reminds me of something Frank Zappa might have written. I could not have imagined this song being performed as a guitar-piano duet, and as such it does lack some of the big changes in dynamics that make the ensemble version so brilliant. But all in all, they pulled it off magnificently. Bravo, gentlemen! Thank you! P.S. I've not seen a more beautiful guitar in all my life, and Trey's playing certainly does it justice.
The song/arrangement is excellent, a tasty twist on hearing it live at a Phish show … damn, that’s good. Next time you’re in the Pittsburgh w/the band, please have Jeff Tanski come out and perform this with ya, I’d love to see/hear this arrangement of Divided Sky live in the ‘burgh.
@@gmcsrbosavl6964 Dukes compositions were deftly complex while still swinging...he was able to bring sophisticated harmony into popular music for the time, Treys writing in the rock genre has these same complexities and sophistication IMO...others like Zappa and King Crimson have written in rock with these characteristics but for me Treys writing voice is unique and totally singular; and no matter how complex and angular his pieces can get they never lose that sense of melody.
Huh huh....dude rage rhymes with page. No page no rage. Huh huh. Drrrr..... 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ Your reminding me of the worst parts of late 90s phish tour. Nuance much bro?
Dulcimer spider thread crawling like crazy fingers on a labyrinthal web, poignantly delicate and piercingly precise Tucson Arizona Sonoran desert 🌵 yes I keep on keeping on 🍄🌍🍄🐟🐟🐟🍄
I'm curious to know who might have written the sheet music for the pianist - possibly Page? And I'm also curious to know if this is a completely different piano accompaniment from the accompaniment that Page typically plays.
for the record, i believe the piano orchestrations were done by jeff tanski (pianist) himself, and yes it is a completely different accompaniment for the most part
Must have been hard for Trey to hold back at the slower tempo, I see him at times wanting to jump up and down. But this my favorite phish song for so many reasons. The story of how it was written is pretty awesome too.
I have been going to Phish shows since 1993... Love the various eras, but only one "modern" drawback for me is the overly delicate vibrato Trey now imposes on everything.. Wish he would just go back to singing with the abandon of all the years before. Nobody came to love Phish because of the beautiful voices, it was everything else!! :) Again, not hating, just expressing a wish as a long time fan..
This is the second video I've watched from this run. This one, like the previous, is completely devoid of all feeling, all tension. It sounds like a couple of studio musicians playing what was written on the paper...are they all this boring?
i found a bad Beacon Jam. . .this is pretty in parts of course and in some little moments the GOTF version is superior but this song demands live energy live people a full orchestra or both . . .this is ANXIETY sky
this is not a great version of the Divided Sky. . .it is stiff and way too slow . . these members clearly do not play this song live for 30 years like 3 other guys do
Nah, this just isn't phish and it's not going to tick all boxes that they do. Not may favorite, almost clicked away when I saw it was just piano and guitar but watched it through just to see if the rest of the band joined. Check out the "You Enjoy Myself" from this venue, it gets pretty rocking.
it wasn't even DIVIDED . . .The members didnt stare at an imaginary audience as if time froze come on that is what makes the sky Divided LOL Not Trey nervously smiling
@@MikeyMantle 70% of the composition is missing. I'm all for experimenting in minimalism but not after hearing a masterpiece played for 30 years nightly to perfection. This isn't Big Boat or Sigma bad but it's not a good version of this song. At least IMO. Like I said tho, the Wolfman's rework was fantastic.

Well said, same
Totally agree!
I think that is why I feel like he is playing just for me, everytime I hear him.
@@dirtyhiggins5484 he is
@@seamusconley perhaps, perhaps, we all in the grand hologram
Finally the crowd is quiet for “the note.”

Best comment on here!
Antici- pation.
He loved that moment.

One of the best versions of this song to date, can't wait for their take on Riker's Mailbox.
yikes are you phish fans or more trey? all good but best ever is a joke.

I rewatched every episode during the pandemic! 😆
Some of the best footage of a Languedoc I've ever seen.... the craftsmanship!

That was amazing! Jeff's mastery of the phrasing is impressive. Beautiful song!
@6:15 you know Trey was just imagining hearing everyone cheering and we all probably imagined it too

I also got addicted to opioid which im not proud of.
Trey was a victim too and I will contribute to support this fund against this dreadful disease.
My fav. tune
Absolutely beautiful. So clear and precise. I loved seeing Trey smile before "the note." What a masterpiece this song is...
Tears. Beautiful rendition. We’ll be back someday.
We can at the very least,hope.
This song needs to be used in the intro to a Ghibli movie, it's just so calming and beautiful
Pianist makes this. Such beautiful phrasing.
Truth!

Just beautiful! Goosebumps everywhere
Awesome detail in this version, and the pianist holds up probably more than a pianist’s fair share very well. Super fun
This was such a cool an intimate version of this beautiful epic song! :)
You are a light in this darkness.
Was a little worried for this one without the fellas. This is my favorite Phish tune and this is one of the best versions. The piano player crushed it.
My heart
My heart
With all of my heart
I thank u TAB
I Love This. Divided Sky is my favorite Phish song and I'm thrilled with this rendition.
Such a beautiful song and such a wonderful performance of it
Beautiful! Song wells up a tear of joy in my eye every time I hear it more so than any other Phish song.
Thanks for being you Trey!
Brought me back to Darien Lake 94’
Simply beautiful. So grateful.
Something epic always seems to happen on my birthday.
I say sang the "Aahhhhhhhhhh" because I knew Mike wasn't there. Anyone else?
I love all of the other musicians that are being brought in, its a rich tapestry, ty for sharing your beautiful music with the world, we need it badly rn
Pretty amazing that he's reading the sheet music while playing this, at least for me to imagine haha that sheet music has to be crazy
This is still my favorite song ever...
I really LOVE this song! Amazing!

I tuned in late last week happy to see this posted
So beauitful. Thank you Jeff and Trey!
This was beautifully played by Trey (and the piano player ofc). Haven't heard Trey play this that clean and beautifully in a very long time.
LOVE THIS
Damn that was fantastic
I needed this. Thanks, Trey!
So dope... Thank You Trey!!!
Nine club baby 🏆✅
I like this ensemble at my age than the band itself totally therapeutic!♥️
Amazing pianist, mad props.
YESSSS!!!!! 🙌🏽 so beautiful and fun!!! I love this!!! Thank you so much for performing and posting this trey! My morning just became 10x better 🥰
Very very good...thx Trey!
What a rendition! Jeff was awesome
Amazing thank you!

Very good!

Why Ellington?

Can’t wait for Hershey next year,hope it actually happens.
Almost there!
So beautiful
Wow, really articulates the song! Never heard it quite so clearly.
Opened Today!! Mazel Tov Trey.
That was really good.
Thats the loudest pause I've ever heard in this song
When you gotta play.....you gotta play Luv u Trey
Bravo!
The note!
The palindrome section sounded great. Nice to hear the clarity of notes that sometimes gets muddy with the band
Thats guys "Page" turning ability.
I know that DSky is what I will want
Am i the only one who feels weird seeing this played without phish?
Totally and the piano while good isn't page. Its just too historic and this feels barren. Neat for sure.
Fucking beautiful guitar
Great. Strange without the drums huh?
To quote Trey, quoting Arnold....
❤❤❤
Trey, check out DOVIDAS. Edit: plus do a collab. Two great musicians.
No page no rage

It’s like having sex with a virgin. Sure that SEEMs hot if you’re like a radical cleric who has never gotten laid
Huh huh....dude rage rhymes with page. No page no rage. Huh huh. Drrrr.....

oxygen smells different when i listen to this song. it smells stronger. i take healthier breaths.
I'm curious to know who might have written the sheet music for the pianist - possibly Page? And I'm also curious to know if this is a completely different piano accompaniment from the accompaniment that Page typically plays.
I was thinking that too
Who wrote this for him?
@@thephatalien Nobody... when you are at this level, your hands play what your mind hears.
for the record, i believe the piano orchestrations were done by jeff tanski (pianist) himself, and yes it is a completely different accompaniment for the most part
Is it bad that I think this is better than Phish?
who is the pianist
Love the stripped down version
✨❤️✨
Mid-song ads? Really? C'mon.

100th like 😎
I was 300 myself!
This is like modern art sometimes it has pretty elements but i would much rather stare at an original Monet or Van Goh
I remember liking Phish. Must have been the drugs 🤷♂️. Seems like good dnc music now 😬😬😬
Nah, this just isn't phish and it's not going to tick all boxes that they do. Not may favorite, almost clicked away when I saw it was just piano and guitar but watched it through just to see if the rest of the band joined. Check out the "You Enjoy Myself" from this venue, it gets pretty rocking.

Snooze....
Wolfman was dope tho.
WoW, amazing that you didn't like this... Are you sure there's not a cork in your ear?

the moment of silence... the toothy grin
I cant wait till we can all go back out and play.
thank you so much for making these for us!
Sorry I missed yah last week... promise it wont happen again.
Hey hope everyone is happy and healthy out there
Bravo!
