MYSTERY JAM MONDAY PART 229

Happy Fourth of July and welcome to the 229th edition of Mystery Jam Monday! This week, we continue with our Hall of Fame Series, where we hand the keys to the MJM command center over to one of the eight seven-time MJM winners. For week 3 of this Emeritus Series, we welcome an MJM savant and host emeritus, @bl002e, the third person forced into mandatory retirement after notching his seventh MJM victory.

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 two MP3 codes good for free downloads of any two shows, courtesy of our friends at LivePhish.com / Nugs.Net. Good luck, and thanks again to @bl002e for hosting this third week of the MJM Hall of Fame Series.

NOTE: @ucpete's MJM: Championship Edition from last week still hasn't been solved, despite a hint and a week since it was posted, and he has opened up the competition to all comers now. With no time-limit, surely someone will be able to solve it and take home yet another download code... right? Listen here, but leave your answer in the comments on the blog below.

Answer: Congratulations to @soul_shakedown who wins his first MJM and two download codes by identifying the Lemonwheel Soundcheck Jam, the Coventry Soundcheck Jam, and the Magnaball Soundcheck Jam and of course, the 1.0 / 2.0 / 3.0 Soundcheck Jams theme that connected the three. Thanks to former MJM host @bl002e for reprising his role. Next week's host, @ghostboogie, is not only busy picking clips that will stump you, but he's also closing in on the solution to the MJM: Championship Edition. No one wants to try to give him a run for his money?

Ooooh, sorry, so close. No, the commonality is that they are three jams that Phish did not play in my kitchen.

ghostboogie p.s. i'm still working on MJM: CE... i know the theme, and have 2 out of 3 now.

FreeGhost82 I need to be honest and say most of the mystery jams are really hard on their own for me. While I love the challenge, I've only been a listener for about 4 years, but I can't guess any of these jams. I listen to them to try, but can't guess. I was wondering, respectfully, if there are some other challenges that are out or might be implemented for "younger" fans or "newer" fans of the band just to get them into listening more or having some more fun on the site? Just thinking of the whole demographic. Thanks.

Gumbo72203 I can see what FreeGhost82 is saying.... I consider myself a pretty schooled Phish nerd, but some of these are even beyond my reach. Granted, my obsessive Phish listening days are LONG over, when I would ONLY listen to the burned CD's I'd make after having 20 seeds downloading off of Etree 10 years ago.... but yeah.

I'm glad last week I was in the ballpark for most of them! Could've sworn that was the Island Tour Piper... I always thought that was the only one they jammed the outro for. I'm slipping!

umuckurlife I never get any of these, but when I listened to the first one, I said "that sounds like a soundcheck. I put that out of my mind because I thought they'd never put a soundcheck in the MJM. lol. Even if I stuck with that line of thinking, I still would never have gotten all the details. Nice one.
