F this game Grandma you win!

Thank you for sending me to that Cheers clip.

That's about the only thing I can say. MJM 3.0 is hard.

I'd like to buy a vowel!!

Hmmm...

my half-a** guess is that each clip is from a 3.0 NYE jam that would eventually -> auld lang syne

clip 1: 12/31/12: Chalkdust jam
clip 2: 12/31/11: Steam jam
clip 3: 12/31/: Character Zero jam

All wrong. This is from the Phish 4.0 era. You know, after they were cryogenically frozen and thawed out for that killer 12/31/2999 show.

im guessing they are all from shows that do not count for stats purposes.

I've figured out clip 3 but its not helping me lead to clips 1 and 2...

I got nothin'

@caddyrainbows Tell us clip three so we can all start getting to the stank of this giant dog log.

All I can think of is that they're all part of the same show in 1994

Or don't, because that would be cheating and would especially suck for those folks who are working on figuring it out fair and square.

And for what it's worth, if he really does have #3 I'd be shocked if he didn't have leads on the other two by now...

So do you get 3 downloads if u win?

That was my first impression too, after that there's only an impression of my butt on the couch still trying to guess

I got the first two and looked high and low and can't locate the third jam. Ugh!!!!

Is it hint time yet?

I have no idea what is going on in this MJM but I am 100% into it.

If WayIFeel has the first two, he'll get the third easily with that clue.

Or she.

Our friends from the Great White North. Canada

ok. so I get the location hint. But why the SF baseball players who all hit homers yesterday? or is that just extra nonsense?

They hit HRs back-to-back-to-back (like these shows, in back-to-back-to-back years)

consecutive homers.... so maybe something with consecutive dates?

The hint refers to 'years', as in multiple. So rather than consecutive dates, it's probably same venue in consecutive years. Just a thought. .

I wasnt able to jump from 3 to 1 and 2 as easily as you figured...

This is the correct answer. Span, Panik, and Posey, the Giants 1-3 hitters yesterday, hit back-to-back-to-back (i.e. consecutive) homers. The years for these three clips are consecutive, when sorted: '92, '93, '94. But they're not in that order: they're actually '92, '94, '93. Hence my rejiggering of the Giants' lineup to Span ('92), Posey ('94), and Panik ('93). The supposed three most important factors to real estate investment are "location, location, location" -- the commonality between the three jams is that they were all played in Canada (two in the same venue, in fact). Anyway, I realize that's a twisted clue, but I don't think it was over-the-top cryptic considering a) @WayIFeel figured it out with a little help from the hint, and b) Googling and reading would give you a push in the right direction. Figuring out one of them, given the clue, would give you the years and the country for the other two, which narrows it down to about 20 shows:

Did you notice that #3 was played in Canada? Anyway, these aren't supposed to be impossible, but we'll see how it goes before abandoning the new format. With phish.in / PhishTracks and the jam charts, we've seen so many difficult MJMs drop in the first hour that I figured we should try something different for a bit. It's not necessarily a unilateral change though.

Im in favor of keeping this format... It was a lot of fun this week. A+

Sweet, thanks, I'm glad to hear it! Sort of levels the playing field a bit, because no one is just going to waltz in and take it without a second thought. If you work for it, you can get it, but it's not just about the amount of time you're willing to spend -- there's still the typical MJM intuition involved, like pinpointing the era / key / venue type etc., and the puzzle aspect makes it a little more interesting too I think. Next week will be interesting for sure...
