Great write up, but I will be that guy and say 11/11/95 Mike's Song absolutely has a second jam after the standard Mike's ending, so no, the second jam in Mike's Song was not born on 12/31/95.

Of course it wasn't. That's not what I meant to say, so thanks Rob, I should re-write that p.s. I simply meant as a courtesy to show where in "Mike's Song" the second jam begins. The first Mike's with a second jam was....reviews https://phish.net/song/mikes-song/history ...uhm. Maybe 12/30/93. I'd have to relisten to a bunch to figure it out. Sigh. Yeah not doing that today.

If it is any consolation, I took it the way you originally intended. Mike's Song is my favorite Phish song and though I understand it is no longer used as a jam vehicle at shows, I still always hope to hear a jammed out Mike's Set II opener every time I go to a show.

On a 12/31/95 related note, I went to a show a few years ago and met a guy who claimed to be dosed by Tom Marshall while he was watching the show from the front-half section of the MSG floor. The guy seemed on the level, but certainly a tall tale. Have a Happy New Year and thanks for sharing the memories.
