Welcome to the 317th edition of Phish.Net's Mystery Jam Monday, the penultimate MJM of March. The winner will receive an MP3 download code courtesy of our friends at LivePhish.com / Nugs.Net. To win, be the first person to identify the songs and date of these three mystery clips, which are connected by a theme that needn't be part of the correct answer. Each person gets one guess to start – if no one guesses correctly, I will post a hint on Tuesday around 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET. After the hint, each person gets one more guess before the contest ends Wednesday, and the winner announced shortly thereafter. Good luck!
Answer: Congrats to @prab_mode on his second win, pulling a sneak attack on the blog before the hint dropped. He correctly identified three consecutive (and not on the Jam Charts) versions of "Bathtub Gin": 8/9/98, 8/16/98, and 11/4/98. Thanks again to @wumbo for his masterful EQ work in creating this week's puzzle. Check out MJM318 on Monday morning...

Drowned 7/20/98

To @stevemott's point, I do believe these are all the same song.
bathtub gin - 7.18.99
bathtub gin - 12.2.99
Bathtub 9/22/99
Bathtub 10/1/99
Edit: I’ll also remind everyone... these jams are connected by a theme. @uctweezer won’t hint at what that is until tomorrow though.
Gin 9.22.99
Gin 10.1.99
Gin 7/29/98
Gin 10/10/99
I give you 3 '98 gins back to back for your mjm(tuesday)
8/9/98 gin
8/16/98 gin
11/4/98 gin
good on you, prab_mode!
I was thinking '98 Gin to start but started jumping all over the place.
Props for avoiding the double traps of the first jam sounding a lot like 12/2/99 Gin and the second jam sounding like passages from Riverport.
For the record, the theme was the three Gins from ‘98 that aren’t on the jam chart.
Jealous you caught the first two. All three of these Gins are lovely, with Virginia and mcnichols being in my personal top 10 (possibly even top 5) for the song.
7/29/98 Gin
11/9/98 Gin
