Starting with this week's 165th installment of Phish.net's Mystery Jam Monday, inaugural MJM emeritus @RabeldyNugs will be your guest host for a few weeks. I suggest you invest in Q-tips, because you will need all the help you can get with Rabeldy running the show.

As usual, this week's winner will receive an MP3 download courtesy of our friends at LivePhish.com / Nugs.Net. To win, be the first person to identify the song and date of the mystery jam clip. Each person gets one guess per day, with the second “day” starting after I post the hint. A hint will be posted on Tuesday if necessary, with the answer to follow on Wednesday. Good luck! (You'll need it.)

Answer: First-time winner @standard impressively knew the mystery clip was the 9/21/99 Vultures, perhaps the only exploratory version played to date. Well done!
