I was scanning early Mike's and Hydrogens and Weekapaug's this morning, but too little too late. Nice work getting a win for the blog @schvice. What happens next week?

Next week I'm back in the driver's seat, but it won't be in the triple + theme format -- in fact, it'll be an MJM format you've never seen before. That's all I'll say for now regarding next week, but I will say that in the coming months, you'll see a variety of MJM formats all based on the fundamental premise that a Phish jam is the answer. While I think the triple + theme is fantastic, I do worry that we are scaring off n00bs and passers-by, so while the multi clip format will still be used frequently, we'll have a number of other contests that anyone will have a chance at winning.

how many other bands would donate a free download code to the winner of a silly weekly quiz on a fan-run website that isn't even directly affiliated with the band? Pretty cool when you think about it.

This.

It's just fantastic. Great puzzle. Still bummed I couldn't connect the Hydrogen dots to this - let alone target a standalone Hydrogen (which should be noted is slightly off from the hint, but I'll let it slide). Tuesday I had been looking in just Mike's - when was the last time I listened to 8/27/1987? couldn't tell you, but glad I listened Tuesday, and again yesterday. Thanks again!

@schvice: Silly? This shit is serious business!

@drshaws: We thought about the standalone Hydrogen being sneaky, but decided it actually makes more sense this way. The title of that video says Mike... Groove... Misty. Misty, or the bonus Hydrogen allusion, doesn't fall between Mike and Groove, just like that '87 Hydrogen doesn't fall in a Mike's Groove! Plus, one needn't have realized the Misty -> Hydrogen connection to get that this is a Mike's Groove theme, and we figured folks might start checking early Hydrogena irrespective of their setlist locations. Iif someone had gone chronologically or read the Hydrogen song history (which talks about the early Curtain With-esque jam that used to follow early Hydrogens), they wouid have found this one in a heartbeat.
