Jam chartThe jam first turns for dark, goopy textures on the coattails of Page's synths and Trey's effects. Eventually, this yields way to a spirited "Guy Forget" quote driven by Fishman.

2010-08-12ThuVerizon Wireless Music CenterNoblesville, INJam chartWide-ranging jam that shores up its Type I energy at first, reaching a blazing staccato peak around 7:55. Then the jam becomes more rhythmic, with Page's organ dominating the sound picture. The mood shifts toward the introspective, and before you know it "Drowned" has transformed into a gorgeously melodic and mellow seedbed out of which "Waiting All Night" will eventually emerge three years later.Before / afterOpened set 2, after Time Turns Elastic> Gotta Jibboo—Gap8SET 2

Jam chartNice jam that bounces along before slowing to a more spacious sentiment that sets up nicely for a transition into "Swept Away/Steep."

At the 7 minute mark, the band gets very quiet and almost stops. Trey plays solo for a stretch, and briefly addresses the crowd.
