[edit] Lyrical meaning
Jeff Ament about "Gods' Dice":
That came out of kind of a conversation with somebody who's a pretty hardcore Greek Orthodox Catholic...I think I've been walking that line for a long time whether do I believe in God or am I my own God or where am I in that whole scheme of things. I think it has a lot to do about judgment. I'm still trying to figure out what that song's about...but judging anybody who has any sort of belief system whether they believe in God or not.[2]
[edit] Live performances
The song was premiered live at the band's May 10, 2000 concert in Bellingham, Washington.[3] A live performance of "Gods' Dice" can be found on the Live at the Gorge 05/06 box set. Performances of the song are also included on the DVDs Touring Band 2000 and Live at the Showbox.
