Welcome to the 226th 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 they share in common. Each person gets one attempt per day, with the second “day” starting after the Blog posts the hint -- each answer should contain three songs / dates, along with the commonality between them. 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 an MP3 code good for a free download of any show, courtesy of our friends at LivePhish.com / Nugs.Net. Good luck, and have a great Memorial Day -- the Blog takes no political stance, but maybe we can take a moment today to remember those who have died in service of our country, enabling us to do things like BBQing and drinking beer all day, or listening to 30 second Phish clips over and over again in hopes of winning MP3 download codes!
Answer: Congrats to four-time winner @highhat, who quickly identified the 7/28/98 Lengthwise, the9/27/00 Gumbo, and the 11/27/09 Tomorrow's Song – all songs with Fishman-penned lyrics. The MJM will take a short break and will return on Monday, June 20th, just in time for Summer Tour.

Pete, these MJs are great fun. I seldom compete--I just check in on the mystery jam during my Monday lunch hour, and can't check more than a few versions--but it is brightens my day every time and gives me something to look forward to. And you have shown me more than a few hot little jam segments this way! Not every great moment can make a jam chart--Phish throws out so many ideas, and sometimes, even in a relatively typical or even plodding version of YEM or Split or Ghost or something, there will be a few moments of transcendent playing, and the MJs can point you to those. I still remember discovering the fiery, peaking little segment in the otherwise non-distinct 8/17/93 YEM... never would ahve bothered to listen if not for this contest.
Anyway, Pete, thank you for your great work on this!
