Welcome to the 156th edition of Phish.net's Mystery Jam Monday! As always, the first person to identify the song and date of the mystery jam clip will win one MP3 download courtesy of our friends at LivePhish.com / Nugs.Net. 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. Time to open wide them earlids and get crackin'...
Answer: Making it three consecutive first-time winners, @Mike_Thong came up with the correct answer in an impressively short amount of time: the 6/8/12 Roses Are Free. One of the most commonly-stated misconceptions Phish fans seem to have is that there was a time in Phish's history when the band would regularly add an extended jam to the ending of Roses. However, out of the 40 times Phish has played the song, the 2012 Worcester version is only the third of three such renditions, following the Island Tour and Big Cypress. So think about that before the next time you lump Roses in with songs neutered in the 3.0 era like Bag, Halley's, Tube, and Mike's.
