MYSTERY JAM MONDAY PART 222
Welcome to the 222nd edition of Phish.Net's Mystery Jam Monday. I've posted three clips this week -- these three clips share something in common. To win, be the first person to identify the song and date of each of the three mystery jam clips, and answer what the three clips share in common.Each person gets one guess per day, with the second “day” starting after I post the hint -- each guess should contain three songs / dates, and a guess at the commonality. No sharing or trading of answers is allowed. A hint will be posted on Tuesday if necessary, with the answer to follow on Wednesday. The winner will receive two MP3 codes good for free downloads of any two shows, courtesy of our friends atLivePhish.com / Nugs.Net. Good luck!
Hint: Though you're certainly hearing Trey, Page, Mike, and Jon playing in these clips, you won't find any of the clips on PhishTracks...
Answer: Congrats to first-time winner @Hamphish, who takes home two codes by identifying the5/17/99 Voodoo Child (Slight Return), the 4/11/04 Chalk Dust Torture, and the 2/1/92 Tone Clone, in addition to figuring out the theme of "Jams where Phish played at another band's gig" (all shows took place, not surprisingly, in Vermont) -- in these cases, Phish with Russ and Tony from TAB, Phish alone after rotating one-by-one with the members TAB, and Phish with the members of Shockra. For those of you who may be asking "Who the heck is Shockra and why did Phish play a few shows with them?", you may be surprised to hear that Mike was taking lessons from Shockra bassist Edwin Hurwitz, a local expert in slap bass, and Mike was keen on adding the technique to his growing repertoire. See you in five days!

Gotta say though, love this new format, its a lot of fun and i think simultaneously a lot trickier but also easier than the original format. if you find one clip you should have a starting point for the other two... in theory.
2 Ventura '97 soundcheck
3 Bethel Waves soundcheck
Total shots in the dark based on the hint. Common theme is soundchecks.
12.1.92 Bowie
4.22.94 Fixin to Die
2.1.92 Sippin Pippa
Theme: They're all not on Phishtracks
I give up.
is it possible for a hint clarification? are we hearing all 4 members of phish in all 3 tracks?
5/17/99 TAB Voodoo Child (Slight Return)
4/11/04 TAB Chalkdust
2/1/92 Shockra Tone Clone
All sit ins, all in vermont, all not on phish tracks
How carefully worded of you...
I don't actually have any answers and sadly I can't listen right now. But I listened a bunch last night and I'm picking up what you're putting down, you crafty sonofabitch. I can't decide if I love or hate this MJM. I'm pretty sure it's love though.
I think somewhere around the 7min mark.
Man, I checked every Holdsworth show, and every pre-94 show that featured a guest guitar player in search of that third clip. Little did I know, I had it backwards.
Cheers to @Hamphish and begrudging cheers to @uctweezer. Solid MJM challenge!
I'd also like to say that I too appreciate this MJM format shift. Good stuff.
Also, since switching to the new format, the Blog has won once (and one user got two of the jams), the users have won once before the hint, and the users have won after the hint three times. That's a much more reasonable breakdown than where the older format had gotten to, where it almost never went to the hint, and many times the MJM was solved so quickly that 90% of the users didn't even get a chance to listen to it before it was over. So while we will certainly be mixing in single jam MJMs (i.e. the classic format), we'll never give away more than one code per week (except when there's carry-over from previous weeks, or during special contests a la MJM 200).
