Ah man I'm digging this week's jams

1st one sounds '95ish? 2nd is totally '99-'00. 3rd maybe 2010 or 2011??

I am very surprised that I don't know what that 2nd jam is off the top of my head....cause that's my shit right there

I need to know what #2 is!

Same. Would be shocked if it weren't 99.

Oh shit I found #2.... I guess I gotta keep at it

Got the second and third fast, but that first one is killing me!
And I have to leave for a few hours in a bit.

Got #2, an amazing jam in an obscure show.

3/13/93 Wilson
9/27/00 Piper
10/10/10 Ghost

All shows played in Colorado!

#2 & 3 are right.
#1 has grand piano in it (= '94 or later).
Can anyone verify #1? I'm out and about and can't right now.

To be more specific, I'm out drinking the Revolution Brewing 'Deth's Tar' (say it fast) of imperial bourbon-aged stouts with my finance. Already spent a few hours on mystery jam and need a break!

Page did have his baby grand piano for Spring 93 tour. The 2/3 and 2/4 were decent opening shows as I remember them.

I'm quite positive #1 is right, too.

Yup that sounds like it.
Don't know how I missed it (probably checking '94 and up, and certainly not a 'Wilson.' Checked lots of 'It's Ice' and 'Scent of a Mules.' Thought baby grand wasn't till Fall '94).
The guitar sound almost sounds acoustic in that first clip!
The second clip is one of my favorite sets ever and knew it right away.

Congrats!! Well done!!

Yep. I think I read it in an interview, but the sentiment is echoed in the "Loving Cup" song history as well -- Trey wanted to cover the tune for years but Page refused unless he could actually play it on piano:

"Phish broke the dusty drinking vessel out of its trophy case (2/3/93 Portland, ME) as the spring 1993 tour opening song. The timing of this debut apparently had hinged on the ability of the band to tour with a baby grand piano; 2/3/93 was in fact the first show with the baby grand in Page’s touring ensemble, and the opening lick of that year was thus on the baby grand."

Nice MJM this week. Good mix of tunes.

Only one I knew right away was Fiddler's Green Piper. Once I heard that lick from Trey I instantly knew it. Such a distinct jam.

The effect Trey was using during the Fiddler's Green Piper was such a hallmark of his 2000 sound. I believe he was using the Octave Down setting on his Whammy II and quickly sweeping the footpedal up and down. Take a listen to the 6/29/00 Birds jam and you'll a lot of the same.

That Birds jam was the first one I checked!
