It's either a Waves or DWD...

Waves 2/24/03

Let's try 7/17/99 DWD.

9.22.99 Ghost

shot in the dark:

7/8/00 Piper

12/4/99 dwd

6/15/00 Ghost

Piper 12/17/99

4/17/04 Pebbles and Marbles

Ghost 7/23/99

DWD 11-17-97

I think I have it figured out. Doesn't it sound like that jam they did in that song they played on that tour that year, or am I crazy?

Does sound like a pebble now.

12/31/99 Down with Disease

First thought was 2.0. Agreed with @andrewrose that it's a P&M. It's in the right key for it... didn't pick up on it in 4/17/04. I'm going to go with:

Pebbles and Marbles 2/20/03

Must be DWD. 7/22/97 I'll say

Dwd 12/31/99

immediately thought it was 2/22/2003 Gin....but nope....back to the drawing board.

Coventry DWD

DWD - 6/10/00

First thought was definitely a Ghost but it surely sounds more like a P&M

7/9/99 Weekapaug Groove

7/17/03 Pebbles and Marbles

7-08-2000 Piper

Well it sounded like a Down with Disease to me, so much so that I figured it was a red herring. Also sounded 2.0 so I figured P&M. Only thing is I couldn't detect it in any version that I had which is all of 2003. 4/17/04 was a blind guess.. Have never heard it but remember reading it was a scorcher. Don't hear it in any other 03 ones though. Maybe it is a Disease...

I really don't think it's from 2.0. Trey's tone just isn't indicative of that era, to me it sounds like '99 or '00

I also hear 2.0. It has that characteristically "muddy" sound, combined with the heavy use of whammy pedal (and the flubs). But I was hearing a Rock n Roll type vamp underneath.

Light 5.31.09

This sounds *so* similar to the Pebbles and Marbles jams of 2.0 but I haven't been able to pin it down, and I have every 2.0 show... hmmm... maybe it's a double reverse red herring? And I didn't realize that the jam for DWD is in the same key as P&M. Someone will figure this out, but I'm still guessing 2.0...

It could be 99 or 2000..

First tube 7/3/11

I don't know, but it's fun to think about. I feel like this should be a known jam. Like, if somebody had this tape and listened to it with any regularity they will know this jam immediately. Anyway, I'd rule out 2.0, Trey's tone is not gritty enough.
I'd say it's something summer 99. For example, everybody loves Camden 99, especially the whammy part nearer to the end. Anyway, I feel that the whammy bending use came to be summer 99. And in this clip, Trey is learning about it, playing with it, getting his kicks with his 'new' toy. Also, to support 99, at about 41 seconds Trey hit's/touches on the infamous 99 re-occuring riff. the jiboo riff. That riff was all over the place that summer.
yeah, sorry about the rant.

7/8/00 Piper

Damn, I've got it. Used up my guess.

7/31/2003 Piper

Drowned 11-2-98

First taste of having the jam and having guessed prematurely.
Stings! This one especially..

If I'm not mistaken...its already been guessed. Am I right @andrewrose?

It has not been guessed yet.

That sure makes it seem like it's a DWD from one of these shows...

12/31/11 First Tube

Not quite right I think, but it sure sounds like a First Tube to me...

Going to keep my mouth shut now, not up to me to give any hints. Will be right in there with my second guess as soon as that hint is posted though, assuming someone doesn't get it by then..

Not 4.17.04 Pebbles (but you should give it a whirl @andrewrose... heck of a first set too: Halley's -> Tweezer; Piper -> Frankenstein, Bowie are very solid renditions)

As for MJM, the blog has left me, somehow, both Stevie Wonder'd and Beethoven'd me.

1.3.03 first tube?

I mean 3/1/03 NOT 1/3/03...... I guess thats why they call it DOPE.

Rock and Roll 6/26/2010

12/8/99 DWD

7/12/99 DWD, Figured i would guess the show in my state

12.02.03 weekapaug groove

Seems to me like 99/00. Like @TheDeputy says, I identify that Jibboo lick mostly from that year (although I have spotted as far back as 96 and maybe earlier) and especially the summer. Maybe the Halley's from Great Woods 7.13.99?

some sort of Paug from '99....7/16/99??

Woah I actually got one. Misty Mountain Hop 7/20/99

I narrowed it down to July 99 and searched through Weakapa

oops, didn't finish. Lets just say the whammy whale call and not 2009 or 10 sound quality were the clues

Damn you @MomaDan

I threw on some Summer 99 after my son went to sleep to see if I could spot it. Good call. Confirmed at just past the 8 min mark. The New Years Eve MJM should be a fun one.

Well done, @MomaDan.

Technically, @andrewrose did guess first with his PM to me (figured I'd wait until someone officially won before I confirmed, even though you obviously knew it ). Unfortunately, there are do-overs in neither MJM nor Phish. Unless of course we're talking about a Hampton YEM.

Hope I at least brought to light a phenomenal summer '99 jam that gets lost in the glut of highlights from that tour. Here's my sales pitch to LBC when I picked this gem:

One of summer '99's most overlooked, underrated jams. Sure, it's of the type I, straight-ahead rocker variety, but they hit some of the same euphoric ground they also explored that summer in the 7/8/99 Fee, 7/10/99 CDT, 7/21/99 MLT, etc. Yet, I'm not sure even the most rabid of summer '99 fans remember much about it other than the fact that it was a great, unexpected cover choice.

Lesson learned! That security update down-time today threw me in a panic. Glad some other underrated gems from that era (hello 12/8/99 Disease and 7/13/99 Halley's) maybe got some play as a result.

I didn't guess the jam, but I'm proud of my accurate analysis. I actually do know something about Phish!

I thought it was kinda funny how even though it was a rare cover the jam sounded like it could belong in any phish song.

Sounds exactly like a DWD jam... I would have guessed the one from DTE this past summer

Awww, it fell in my Summer 99 blindspot! One of the only 2 shows I didn't see that summer. Those soaring major-key themes came up again and again on that tour.

great pick!

very underrated show with a stout 2001 > MMHop!!
