After a short, revitalizing hiatus -- taken to avoid becoming a charicature of itself, or worse yet, a nostalgia act -- Phish.net's Mystery Jam Monday is back! And as with MJM #165, this one's brought to you by the MJM OG himself, @RabeldyNugs. 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!
Answer: @mcgrupp81 wins his fourth MJM by IDing the Bowie-esque 12/9/97 Simple. Great job!

And since we're entirely volunteer – with no office, salaries, or paid staff – administrative costs are less than 2% of revenues! So far, we've distributed over $2 million to support music education for children – hundreds of grants in all 50 states, with more on the way.
For shits and giggles- 11/14/98 bowie
Ooooo, Swish!!
hmmmmm
My guess: 7/7/99 2001
9/25/99 NICU-> David Bowie
From the @waxbanks review:
The meat of Set II is the 37-minute Simple > Timber, a completely *seamless* multipart improvisation that evolves from the delicate Simple outro form to a more assertive one-chord rock-anthem groove and beyond. After one of those nervewracking funk grooves that so often acted as bridging passages in those days (the way complex ambient spaces have lately served as musical glue in 2009-10), the jam cools back down. Fish suggests Bowie; Trey has other ideas; amid the resulting engine-room noise Fish transforms the Bowie hi-hat line into the Timber drumbeat, the whole band picks up on the suggestion, and we're right into a slightly mutated take on that song. The Timber jam is, as ever, an eerie minor-key stomp - and it ends wonderfully, in quiet.
I think I know what I'm listening to today! @RabeldyNugs and @bl002e: glad to see the MJM back. Keep 'em coming!
Question for @bl002e --I am looking at a Error-unsupported audio type or file path on my laptop. On my other laptop, I can play the clip. On my work computer I can't play the clip. Do I need to be using a certain internet browser or is it related to the version of Windows. I don't know if anybody else experienced this but I wanted to throw out the question in case something has permanently changed with the type of file that is being played through the site. Thank You again for your hard work.
I see what's been done here! Meta, bro....
