So one of these clearly sounds like "arguably" the greatest jam in Phishtory. But I listened and don't think they jive. Plus I can't imagine a penultimate MJM to be that obvious.

To @stevemott's point, I do believe these are all the same song.

bathtub gin - 6.28.00

bathtub gin - 12.2.99

I thought the same thing but couldn’t confirm it either. Are one of these two above me correct? I’m betting one is. I need to get a much better ear for these things, get more time, or a combo of the two.

I don't think I am right. But I figured I might as well make an educated guess. This will be solved soon and I work late on Mondays.

Can't listen to tunes, but they all sound like Jim's to me, not gins. Of course... I'm completely stabbing in the dark.

As the constructor once again of this week’s puzzle, I will only confirm no one has posted the correct answer.

Edit: I’ll also remind everyone... these jams are connected by a theme. @uctweezer won’t hint at what that is until tomorrow though.

Gin 6.28.00
Gin 9.22.99
Gin 10.1.99

Gin 6/28/00
Gin 7/29/98
Gin 10/10/99

I am going to be pissed if clip one is 6/28/00. My friends and I raged the lawn hard that night. Still get goosebumps when I hear it... provided it isn't a 30 second snippet!

My favorite year arguably, my first summer tour at 17, caught the first two of these three in the house...

I give you 3 '98 gins back to back for your mjm(tuesday)

8/9/98 gin
8/16/98 gin
11/4/98 gin

based on the recording, i at least knew the second gin was played in an open field.

good on you, prab_mode!

In my notes I had "Neumann89 mic???" for the 2nd track
I was thinking '98 Gin to start but started jumping all over the place.

Holy moly, well done! At nearly 5 am EST too, hopefully you’re on the west coast and my puzzle didn’t keep you up too late.

Props for avoiding the double traps of the first jam sounding a lot like 12/2/99 Gin and the second jam sounding like passages from Riverport.

For the record, the theme was the three Gins from ‘98 that aren’t on the jam chart.

they are consecutively played also!

@prab_mode said:

Yes they are, though if the theme/our hint was “three Gins played back to back” I think that would be significantly more difficult.

Jealous you caught the first two. All three of these Gins are lovely, with Virginia and mcnichols being in my personal top 10 (possibly even top 5) for the song.

7/8/98 Gin
7/29/98 Gin
11/9/98 Gin

For that clip I used the FOB Schoeps mk21 tape, which I further EQ'd with my studio equalizers.

The VA beach source sounds crisp, probably a bit of an upgrade from the flacs i downloaded a decade ago.

Nice MJM. Always enjoyed that VA Beach Gin. I watched the 8/16 Gin on YouTube. Would have been nice to be basking in Maine, toking away to that sweet music.
