2/24/03 Twist
7/15/99 Kung/Jam

Nice win @experiencechuck! Knew that first jam had to be 2.0 era, but hadn't really thought of Twist. Figured that second jam had to be a Melt, and guessed it was from '99. Looked at the summer tour but hadn't gotten to the winter! Congrats man! See y'all next year... (Hopefully in-person too!)

thx! I’m a fall 99 fiend and I know that Melt p well, the lil brother to 12/4 & 12/30, so I got that one on the first guess

as for the other I JUST listened to that show after the Halley’s entry two weeks ago, so I knew I had heard it.. still checked a bunch of other 03 jams first before I found it though!

Great work, ExperienceChuck!

Have a great break and great holidays y'all, looking forward to seeing you again next year! Hopefully you get to spend some time with the people you care about and get some good ol' R and R.

First off, good job. Second, It pained me to see Split Open and Melt referenced as SOAMelt when that treatment should be reserved for the lesser SOAMule. Then it got me thinking about how many times they actually played SOAM and SOAMule in the same show. Turns out it was 33 (Thanks ZZYZX Show Finder!) and the breakdown is below. Last time was 1/3/15. Was there ever a time a person was scribbling the setlist during the show and accidentally wrote down "SOAM" twice, realized the mistake, was too wasted to remember which song was performed first, and stubbornly declined to request the help of other showgoers in an attempt to prove to themself that they could remember on their own? Perhaps Phish's ever-growing songbook is not the reason it has been nearly 6 years without a SOAM/SOAMule pairing. Maybe Trey has already pondered this hypothetical setlist scribbler and has decided to take pity on them.

1994---------------------17 shows
1995---------------------3 shows
1996---------------------5 shows
1997---------------------1 show
1998---------------------2 shows
2000---------------------1 show
2011--------------------1 show
2014--------------------1 show
2015--------------------1 show

it... pained you??

just trying to be both quick AND specific, since it’s a time sensitive contest.. I didn’t expect a sort of Spanish Inquisition! I usually just type Melt (see my second comment)

Pained was a gross exaggeration. I was just ripping on Mule. I know very well the time constraints of this game! Good job again and have a wonderful and safe holiday and New Year.

same to you!

may all your SoaM’s be melty!

and may all your Mules be like Went (or 12/11/99..!)
