At last night's Rangers game against the Boston Bruins (go Rangers!), Madison Square Garden organist and phan Chad Dinzes performed the hockey-friendly Phish song "It's Ice"—according to Hidden Track, this was the debut of his cover. Note, the sound doesn't kick in until about the 7-second mark:
The song "offers a blow-by-blow description of the battle between a guy skating on a frozen pond and his reflected image in the ice beneath. When Trey composed the music he did so specifically with Page in mind... consciously design[ing] the song to highlight Page’s piano playing." So, understandably it's a little choppy and not as smooth as Page would deliver, but Dinzes isn't working with this kind of rig, and we appreciate the Phish tease. Now clear your ear palette with the real deal:
