    Jam chartVery strong 4.0 version. The first half of the jam segment is playful and punchy, with everyone contributing multiple ideas to a cascading musical conversation, with Fish and Page standing out as especially inventive. Eventually everyone coalesces into multiple raging peaks, and right when you think it's over, the band adds one last peak.

    Jam chart"Slave" is often relegated to rote status, these days... A means to cap a terrific show... A "call" your 'bro' made a mile away. This is not one of those. Patient. Melodic. Forceful. Special. Here, the four, as if time (or curfews) were not invented, artfully work a version worthy of multiple re-listens, music worthy of myriad, fist-pumping adjectives. Awesome.
