I feeling a simple jam, but i don't have a clue as to which one... shot in the dark simple from 8/12/96

i'm feeling not i feeling... i'm glad you can't be dq'ed for being grammatically incorrect.

i'm hearing an extended mango, but i'm tired.

Harry Hood....Not sure of the show but I will guess 12-30-95

Totally sounds like a early to mid 90's reba jam to me... not the clifford ball reba though. Agh ill have to get back to this in a bit..

Too simple to be a Simple? It would be sweet if this was part of a Reba.

11/9/95 Simple> Reba?

Yeah... my first instinct was definitely '93-'94 Hood, but I checked a bunch and no dice. My second instinct was Reba, but I haven't found anything yet -- though I have relistened to some of the most epic Rebas ever. So I got that goin' for me, which is nice:

Hilarious. It's the first time in a long time that I've had the time to do some searching and I just listened to a bunch of 94 Reba snippets and didn't hear "it". Could be 93. Whatever it is, it's a nice source.

Simple 12/2/97

Don't have time to check but thinkin' some mid 90's out there Reba.

10/18/94 Reba.

8/31/13 Chalkdust. :-)

11-30-1997 Wolfman's. The Phishtracks version is so close, so I'm banking that this source picked up some sounds better. This song was written about so eloquently this morning, which would also make for some nice community symmetry. But it's B Major, right? If type I it must be a Simple or Wolfman's. Of course, if type II it could be anything.

Sounds a bit like a Fee jam to me.

Shot in the dark: Fee 11/19/97

I need to get more phish shows on my computer. I would love running through tons of shows to find the mmj. Just have my 15 shows and the majority of the the material Phish released themselves.

I feel like that had a funkier feel, but honestly, it's been years since I've listened to that one.

Reba 10-29-98 Greek Theatre

Simple -> Lizards 12-8-94

Roggae 7-1-99

Reba 7.5.98

Simple 11/6/98

Mike definitely sounds like he is using the Modulus, which means it's post 1996. Trey's tone sounds pre-1999. The recording has an 'indoor sound', so Fall '97 or '97 (or Island Terr). I think Simple is, well, a bit too simple. Humm...

Im pretty sure that hint is, "These pretzels are making me thirsty."

definitely these pretzels are making me thirsty scene from seinfeld.

I love seinfeld, but this hint isn't doing much for me.

Water related? Woody Allen? He was having trouble parking cars, could it be a contact?

Water related..NYC..Cars..Pretzels..Salt...salt...MSG??

I think I get the hint...

tweezer 8/2/97?

Simple 7.21.98....These pretzels are making me thirsty....

my thought based on the hint is a Suzy...

Suzy...Susanna...but, I am NOT a Suz...

I follow you on the date...

I know I've said it before, but @bl002e is killing it with these MJM's.

I thought it was 'Thank You' from 10/30/2012 Because of the comment on the video saying "Thank You " But it wasn't so...

Thank You 10/30/10

11-14-97 Piper???

Latex?

Its def a suzy

Pretzels are twisted. No luck there.

The clue and all the comments since the clue have me so confused.

Reba 12/30/98 MSG...

Isn't George's dream to be ensconsed in Velvet?

12-30-94 Harry Hood

FWIW, the original air date of "The Alternate Side" (i.e., "the pretzels are making me thirsty" episode) was 12-4-91, also the date of a show...

Well I might as well share my line of thinking re. the hint as I'm stumped..

1: George! Could be a show from the Gorge in George, WA, but none of my searches yielded anything.

2: NYC... kind of an obvious hint and too general? But there's the whole Woody Allen/New York thing in that episode so maybe. Pick your MSG show..

3: 12/4/91 was the original airdate of that episode accordingly to Wikipedia.. and there have been lots of shows on 12/4 ... 94, 95, 96, 99

I agree with @pistilstamen on the timeline re. tones, and @PersnicketyJim is right, is does sound a LOT like a section of that 11/30/97 Wolfman's.

Other thoughts: it's got a bit of a Squirming Coil / Piper vibe with Page on the piano there, a bit of a island flair that could be a Ya Mar excursion.. Have a feeling it's something familiar from 97 that right under our noses.

I don't think the MJM is from 12-4-91 though... This is tricky

7/1/97 "Jam" before Loving Cup

gimme little drink

Only other thing that hasn't been mentioned here is a potential switcheroo -- Allen Woody played in Mule and the Allmans though he never sat in with Phish... Hmmm...

6/30/2000 Mango (It moved!)> Twist (these pretzels are making me thirsty!)

Also, the MJM is in Bb major... indicating a possible Simple or Wolfman's. I would be surprised if it was Reba, I'm not really sure how many other songs are in F or Bb

7/29/97 Twist

like a pretzel. and hot weather makes you thirsty. im lost.

pullin for a type 2 here... cant get Phishtracks to play today at work, got a fresh new ipod but have yet to put on any 97-98. what am i doing with my life

Definitely not from 12-4-91, the show is too high energy. Thought it might be hidden in that Lizards or Mango somewhere but to no avail...and the Reba is a typical whistle-Reba so it's not him either.

@SkyTrainWand said:

Pretty sure the Reba jam is technically in Bb major and that Trey typically jams in F mixolydian over the top of it... but I don't remember.

12/30/97 Hood

3/11/92 Reba

this is so HARD. damnit. Really picked a good one here, @bl002e

I thought it would be one of those melodious Mike's Songs from '98, then I thought it might be a Limb from Fall '98 (which are really awesome, btw), then after the hit I tried the 12-30-98 Coil, but I keep coming up empty.

8-2-97 wolfman's

I'm convinced it's a '98 jam.

12/30/94 Simple

I'm assuming all the 12/30/94 guesses have to do with the fact that Jerry Seinfeld was the guest on Letterman when Phish played on that day...

I was tHinking the fact that he's drinking a Shasta...mt shasta...idk. I've tried to Find a correlation but I'm coming up empty.

@bassbombafficionado: What. An awesome. Avatar.

I heard those Page piano notes and thought it sounded like a trolley. I typed in "trolley",
"Phish", and "Page" and the first result was the link to the setlist to 12/4/91. The reviewer made reference to that trolley piano work as a tease of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. Weird.

I could have done without the clue.

It's Eb lydian I believe. F mixolydian contains the same notes, though.

I'd think the Seinfeld reference is regarding a Suzy as somebody else mentioned.

Maybe the hint is regarding the date or year? Anyone recognize that episode? Check the year it was debuted.

I'm going with 12/4/91 Stash. That TV still is from "The Alternate Side" episode, which originally aired on that date. The drums sound Stash-like and a Dm jam could conceivably move to Bb.

Mule 12/28/97?????

It's gotta be Simple in Bb major. I've scrubbed PT thoroughly to no avail... though Reba in Eb maj fits just as well.

These pretzels are making me thirsty!

Sid's nephew's foot operation in the Seinfeld episode made me think Bye Bye Foot or My Left Toe.

Checked... nope. still have no clue what this could be

Twist 4/2/98

suzy 6/17/04 (he tosses a hail mary, never having heard this version)

In the end credits of early Seinfelds, the executive producer (or something like that) was listed as a Suzy Greenberg. Later episodes listed Suzy Mamman Greenberg. I always get a kick out of seeing that. This jam doesn't sound like a Suzy to me. I heard Coil first then thought Simple was possible. Hope this credit info helps somebody get it. Can t let The Blog get into double digit wins!

This jam sounds way newer than '91 but what the hell. I don t have a better/real guess.

Squirming Coil 12/4/91

The keys

I'm thinking gorge.....not George?

I was just going to say coil 1991 at Plattsburgh.

I'm going with the only tour shirt I could find referencing pretzels - the 2010-11 NYE run. Hood 12/28/10

7-16-98 Coil

i may be way of but it sounds like curtain to me

I really wanted it to be one of the early Taste -> Water in the Sky combos (yes, these pretzels are making me thirsty), but no dice.

Whenever this bad boy is announced, I guarantee that I was within a week of it. If it ain't a '98, you can kick me to the curb.

I hear 96

Based on the hint- George's Father is Frank, and the pretzel Line....

Frankie Says 04/02/98

Dont think its it but Twist Follows so maybe thats the hint?

Nice work phan!

Funny - the 'obscureness' of the pretzel for NYE runs was the pretzel on the ticket - and I picked an NYE run with pretzel on the shirt.

Is the pretzel/NYE run relationship something to explore?
