    Jam chartEasy-breezy major jamming bounds along until a pronounced change in demeanor around 11:00 when the jam turns minor and becomes a heavy-duty, lumbering rock-out a la the 6/27/25 "Golden Age" but not quite as punishing. After building to a weighty peak, the "LSG" riff returns and leads to a final chorus to bring it to a close.

    Jam chartIn the midst of a stunning second set, we enter the "LSG" jam like a comet ripped apart by gravity, falling inwards towards the sun, before the band fully unifies around a Krautrock beat and driving chord progression from Trey. Fishman works against the established groove to expand the jam into a more spacious affair which allows Trey to move outside the initial ideas, pushing the band outwards once more. Listen for Page to move from the Rhodes to his synth around 9:15 which reinforces the expansive playing and kicks off a segment defined by a wall of effects and interwoven anti-melodies, reminiscent of the 10/10/23 "Ruby Waves." Chaos starts to dissipate around 16min as a clearing emerges in the jam. Marked by sprinkles of melody and interwoven riffs before a fade -> to "Pillow Jets," this is a clear peak moment in "Life Saving Gun's" young career as we hear what is fully possible with the budding jam vehicle.

    Jam chartThe jam finds itself immediately brimming with ideas simply by using the inertia of its driving rhythmic push. A downshift around the 10 minute mark finds the band in new territories, centered around a hypnotic, repeating bass line. With an unrelenting rhythmic center, an inspired, densely layered slab of music emerges and makes itself at home, before the clarion call of "Percussion Rinse!" signals an end. Excellent.

    NoteUnfinished.

    Jam chartAfter two Set 2 openers for the price of one ("Bouncing" followed by "Sample"), the band gets down to business with the longest "LSG" to date. They take a minute to find their footing, but Mike takes the reins around 9:30 and things take off. Excellent, melodic play from Trey at 14:50 gives way to a full band onslaught. The jam winds its way to its ending and > into "Twist".

    Jam chartRetains the song's promise as a set centerpiece. Bending, but not quite breaking new ground, percussive, celebratory play evokes, elementally, "Crosseyed" and "Paug," respectively, hewing that feel-good sound from a score seemingly built to spill into euphoria.

    Jam chart> from "It's Ice". The song's first set debut and it fits the role of set-closer like a glove. The jam is a raucous, high-energy affair. It peaks, keeps on going and then peaks again.

    Jam chartDebut. Trey and Page's new "Gunn" inflected banger goes big in its live debut. Focused and inventive play moves with purpose through several layers of varying texture, weaving a tapestry of sound that is a true stand out among tour highlights. Breaks > for "No Men".
