MYSTERY JAM MONDAY PART 262

Welcome to the 262nd edition of Phish.Net's Mystery Jam Monday, the third February version, and somewhat more challenging than the two preceding editions this month. 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 dates of the three mystery clips – these clips are connected by a theme, but the theme needn't be part of the correct answer. Each person gets one guess – if no one guesses correctly, I will post a hint on Tuesday, after which each person gets one more guess before I reveal the correct answer on Wednesday around 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET. Good luck!

Hint:

Answer: Congratulations to @dbertsch, who wins his fifth MJM by correctly identifying this week's tracks, the 11/9/95 Bathtub Gin, the 5/2/93 Run Like an Antelope, and the 8/2/03 Reba, based on this week's theme, which was songs from the album Lawn Boy. @dbertsch is now just two wins away from achieving Emeritus status, and the corresponding mandatory retirement associated with that distinction. Nice work! Incidentally all three versions from this week's MJM are outstanding examples of each song, and check out the full length versions if you're not familar with any. Next week, the difficultly level goes up even higher, when @ucpete throws down the month's culminating MJM 263.

Well the bad news is I've only got 1 and I'm done for today.

The good news is I've got tomorrow off with a juicy hint coming.

So I'm officially giving the night crew the evening off. Don't worry, I've got this one

(Think that will work? Sure it will)

Score: 4

I know the songs, I know the common theme, and I even know which specific version of one of them. Just need to figure out the other two and I win!

Score: 3

When Page stands up...I get down!

The song each jam comes from seems obvious to me..but maybe this is a trick.

I'm having a hard time finding a single one.

All sound like great jams and I will gladly listen to each one in full once the solution presents itself.

Score: 6

Well, I've got the hint.... Page performs on each of these jams.

::excitedly crosses hordes of pre '85 jams off the list of possibilities::

Score: 9

Well that'll save me from looking through two more years of Antelopes.

Very well done!!
Had the Reba right away.
Don't know how I missed the Gin since it certainly sounded like a Gin jam. Was mainly checking '97 and up I guess.
Probably would have never gotten the Antelope. Thought it was a SOAMelt or '94-95 Bowie.
Also misread the hint thinking it was a show that Lawn Boy was performed in.

Kudos!!

I had the Gin and the Reba, but got stuck thinking the second jam was SOAM.

Same. I skimmed through a great deal of 93-95 melts before abandoning that plan and turning my focus to the antelopes. Was about to give up altogether when I stumbled across 5/2/93.

First clip also sounds remarkably like the Murat Gin around the time of the Weekapaug jam. Nice excuse to give that a relisten.

Score: 1

It's always fun to hear the process to get to the jams. I only lurk now, but I did not recognize that Reba at all. I knew the 1st jam was a Fall 95 jam and felt it was a Gin, the 2nd I thought was a 93 Antelope but that wouldn't have helped too much, and then the 3rd had me licked. I give all of you guys credit for toughing these out.
