12/2/03 Tweezer Reprise

6/28/95 Tweezer

Shot in the dark here: 10/21/95 GTBT -> Reprise.

To Specify, the GTBT outro into Reprise.

My heart says 92 but my brain says 93

Definitely 3.0

I feel like a hear a percussionist in the mix? Maybe Fall 96 era?

11/30/97 Them Changes

I thought 3.0 at 1st...but went to check a thought (I was wrong) came back and listened a 2nd time and my brain said 1.0...but I thought last weeks was from 95...what do I know?

Sheeeeeyit, not sure if correct, but I told a buddy at work I could see this being a Fall '96 Mike's Song about an hour ago.

Definitely no discussions about the MJM at my workplace, a bit jealous of ucpete.

Haha, it's actually kind of funny. I work as a computational biologist at a big company, and for the longest time I was the only one doing what I do. But last month, I was able to help bring in a second computational biologist to work with me, and he just so happens to be one of my best friends and the person with whom I've seen the most shows (16 together)! No one at work knows about our affliction really except maybe a couple people on my team. My buddy was walking by my office as I was closing my door and said "Oh, you busy?", and I said "Get in here -- MJM was posted while we were in that last meeting."

Don't think it's the 10/29/96 Mike's Song but DAMN is there a part that sounds almost identical (but in a different key).

Now I might be crazy, but it kinda sounds like an Antelope...

12/1/96 Tweezer

Thought it was Walk Away but can't find anything.

The bass rift at 20 seconds sounds a bit like the end of Tweezer Reprise.

Phish lovin' coworkers? unheard of!!

I saw a kid walking in a store wearing a Ween shirt the other day. (this is in Apple Valley, Ca, mind you) I say "Hey! Ween!" He looks at me (I'm 45) and says "Wow, I can't believe you know who they are!" I said "shiiiiit." LOL

11-14-98 Tweezer

On a non-MJM related note, I just saw in my email that 12/7/95 is getting released by Live Phish. You can listen to Slave and Possum from that show on www.soundcloud.com/officialphish . One of my all time favorite shows and one of those tapes that I listened to over and over again when I was younger.

11-14-98 Tweezer

No but that is phishncincy and really good phishncincy.

It sounds like they are jamming in E. I will go Mike's Song - 10-19-95

Feels like a mid-90's Bowie to me, so I'll wildly guess the version from 10/8/95 Missoula.

Definitely Antelope.

12/17/95 tweezer

11/6/96 Mike's Song

11/26/94 Bowie

No clue but it sounds like a '95 Bowie to me.

Antelope 12/8/95

12/15/95 Philly- Good Times Bad Times
(near the transition into Tweeprise)

OK. My guess was wack. I don t think it s a GTBT; it just kinda sounds like one. I think it's from '93 or early '94. Heavy Tweezer bass line at the end...

7/20/98 simple

Antelope 6-9-95

It really sounds like a Mike's jam to me, and 96 has that heavy percussion element. 11/6/96 post-Mike's jam

Mid '90s Bowie was the first thing that popped into my head. They frequently transitioned into grooves like these.

And someone said it's in E. Mike's is in F# for the first jam whereas Bowie is in E the whole time.

Really doubt this is later than 94, folks. Can anyone make heads or tails of that hint?

Isn't Bowie Em to D?

9/27/95 Bowie

Im either dense or out of touch but I got nothing from this hint. All google can tell me is that mariah carey named a kid monroe.

The only thing I can think of is Drew Carey in some sort of Whose Line is it Anyway (or price is Right?) reference...the Monroe piece has me stumped.

Mike's 6-25-95

Based on the clue-Going to guess Mike's Song 11/25/95

Drew Carey Hosts Price is right. Since the MJM went "over" 1 dollar would be the winning bid. Monroe? Bill Monroe. What's 1 dollar doubled? a two dollar bill.

Mike's was followed by My Long Journey home ( Left all my money but a two dollar bill)

Unfortunately can't confirm because im stuck at work and cant get on to have a listen

Beat you to it Round Mound

@Doctor_Smarty said:

I just noticed that!

I used the same logic...great clue...two dollar bill was the first thing that popped into my head upon reading it

If it is a price is right reference maybe we all overbid by not yet guessing something as old as the mj

Unless I missed it, I don't hear it in the 11/25/95 Mike's.

I don't either. I like the Bill Monroe thinking and the two dollar bill. I had no idea Drew Carey hosted the Price is Right but it's certainly the only scenario where I can see 'having enough money' enabled 'winning' something. Usually you buy things with money. Unless we're talking about an election. But I digress. What about specifying the exact time.. 9:27? Significant?

1994-04-13 Bowie

It's in E...sounds like Mike's Languedoc and Trey's Ross Compressor...Page sounds like he's trying to bring it home with typical Bowie notes, and after Fishman's fill at the end I bet they close it out. I like the jam chart explanation, plus this date appears to be missing from Phishtracks and the MJM needs all the help it can get there.

I wonder how many times the blog is going to say they need to give a straightforward hint before they actually do.

I was thinking the same thing! @andrewrose I also had no idea Drew Carey hosted the Price is Right. Bob Barker anyone?

I originally thought the hint was a clear path to the 5th Ball (aka Carreystock), but Jim Carrey spells his name differently. I remember listening to a tape of this, but can't remember the specifics. Based on the setlist, the only song that would fit the MJM is Twist> Jam.

I am pretty sure the hint is supposed to suggest that every guess before 9:27 this morning was too late in Phishtory. So, it's from a show before 6/9/95.

Reasonable hint. But not enough for this player.

Could it possibly be Simple 11/16/94? Hill Auditorium, Ann Arbor, MI?

12/30/94 Tweezer

11/16/94 Simple was going to be my guess, @funkbeard beat me to it

Bowie 5/2/92

Mike's 1993-03-05

"David Bowie" - 11/17/1994

free - 6/26/95

Farmhouse 1985 at red rocks

Bowie - 11/14/94

I've had theories all day then I found this to confuse everyone more.

I need to enlist bilbo bagging to assist me with these riddles...I mean hints

Has anyone listened to this yet:

Saturday, 06/18/1994
UIC Pavilion, University of Illinois, Chicago, IL

For some reason this MJM reminds me of something in this show.

I honestly have no clue and even though I'm convinced its a '94, maybe '96, and possibly even Europe '97 as well pretty sure it's an indoor venue I'm going with 7.3.95 Bowie.

6-7-95 lonesome cowboy bill

Wild guess. I'm throwing out Mike's Song 2/20/93.

Wild guess- 4/29/93 Mike's.

Tweezer reprise 12-17-95

That bass lick at about 20 seconds is the juice, and that's Mike's signature Tweezer bass sound for the mid 90s all day. Page sounds like a baby grand to me, that's 93 and on.

When I first heard this, I did a quick search for Tweezer Reprise teases and jams within songs and knew it wouldn't be that easy. It does have a Mike's Song sound to it though.

Wow... well played mystery jam!! I the 8/21/93 2nd set well, but i'm not sure i've ever even heard the first set. You better believe i'll familiarize myself with it soon!!

When I saw the hint, I thought it was either referencing Bill Monroe or James Monroe James Monroe was featured on $1 coins and on the $100 bill for a brief period in the 1800s. I thought maybe the Monroe reference meant the show with the MJM had an Uncle Pen, which that 8/21 show ironically does. Score for Pauly and I can't imagine RabeldyNugs didn't know this one straight away.

The funny thing is that source can sometimes give a pivotal hint if you have the same one in your collection or can throw you off too. I did a search for SBD sources in 93 but I only have a decent AUD of the 8/21/93 show.

HA! Cryptic hints are the only worthwhile kind that keeps this fun/interesting -- no more clarity needed, I say!

Agree @duggy. This new state of not knowing the MJM is better than the previous state of showing up and knowing the jam, only to find out somebody answered it 8 minutes after it was posted. Keep up the good work @bl002e!

@bl002e You're doing a great job with the MJM but your hints are terrible.

Thanks for the praise, but a tad harsh on the criticism, @napoleon. I'll agree that some previous hints had been too confusing to help even a single person -- I should have at least stuck with my initial hint of "45 of 63" for MJM #159 rather than linking the box score -- but given that several people were able to solve this one, I feel great about this past one.

I'm a daily devotee to the NY Times crossword puzzle during the hour or so of free time I have between work and studying for actuarial exams, and while the Monday/Tuesday puzzles make me feel great about myself, it's just instant gratification. When I'm able to solve a Friday/Saturday puzzle in under two hours with no outside assistance, it's a far more satisfying feeling of accomplishment. Same goes for pub trivia -- those early questions that illicit crickets when the answer is revealed aren't nearly as exciting to get correct as the ones toward the end when people are either slapping themselves on the forehead for not figuring out the cryptic way it was asked, or screaming at the host that no one could possibly know it.

If my hint was more along the lines of "this is a Stash jam played prior to 1995," and one of you inevitably gets it right within the hour, then I'd feel the hint was terrible. The hint for MJM #159 was in hindsight terrible as well, but given that 13 single-jam MJMs had passed without stumping you all, I was still convinced it would be quickly solved. Hell, MJM #137 was a ONE-SECOND clip and MJM #148 was a 30-second clip of a SILENT JAM, and those were solved sans hint. The attempt to match the level of difficulty in the clip and hint versus the level of skill exhibited by the contestants is not an easy balance to achieve, but I think it's imperative to at least make the attempt if we want this to continue to be an entertaining game worthy of everyone's time.

@bl002e I meant no disrespect, I just get frustrated when hints seem to click with everyone but me. In fact I still don't get this weeks hint. I spent a great deal of time looking for this one because I was so convinced it was Antelope so when I couldn't find it AND I didn't get the hint, I got mad. It's a little discouraging to feel like you know so much about your favorite band and then realize you don't know THAT much. Like one time I was with my friend at his first show and they started up Cavern. Naturally I turn to my friend and yell "LLAMA!" Can you feel the pain?

So freaking weird. I posted this yesterday:

Great show! I wanted more "Mind Left Body", so I clicked the song and it took me here:

First version...

I downloaded entire show last night - haven't had a chance to listed to Stash yet.

bizarro

I still don't get it...what does Two dollar bill have to do with 8/21/93 Stash?
