2025-01-31FriMoon PalaceCancun, Quintana RooJam chartA thoroughly funky opening gives way around 9:00 to an uplifting, inspirational build that carries through until a fakeout return to "Wolfman's" at 13:15, after which the band immediately launches into a high-powered segment of churning electro-rock culminating in a "Mike's Song" tease and another pass at the traditional closing.

2024-08-15ThuThe WoodlandsDover, DEJam chartAn expansive, Festival Phish worthy take that sees the band casting a
wide net through multiple sections. As the initial "Wolfman's" muck-funk jam
breaks apart, the band then passes through multiple vignettes, including a
"Cissy Strut" tease, an extended passage of sunset psych-grooves, and a
near-pivot towards "Heavy Things" that instead catalyzes an anthemic peak
section, before returning to the "Wolfman's" theme to close.Before / afterBack on the TrainFunky BitchGap3SET 1

Doing well to push past "The Well" quotes, a truly unique musical conversation ensues, with Mike, in time, dominating much of the discourse.

Trey plays with loops and gives Mike a run for his money with bass effects of his own before leading things in a more melodic direction over a soft bed of Page's keys and driven, as always, by the "brother" himself.

Check out Page, around the ten-minute mark, as he shakes things up, via his concert grand, a really cool passage that Trey responds to in kind. Page shifts to his keys, and play becomes refreshingly rocking, with a set of repeated riffs that are as pleasant as the surf smacking the shore.

Trey makes his intentions known right away by shifting through multiple effects, toggling between lead playing and funk-oriented rhythm comping. The rest of the band follows suit, as the jam develops into a laid back, conversational groove session.

2022-02-26SatMoon PalaceCancun, Quintana RooHighly rated 85 · ListenJam chartLike a cross between a breeze and the space between stars, the jam, a smooth and total sound, breaks free all but immediately and becomes a true show-stopper. Trey, atop Fish's scattershot (off)beat, both creates and occupies space - it feels like it, but he never stops playing - the resulting improv remarkable in its restraint, notable for its ingenuity, and startlingly refreshing. Terrific play from all four creates a sound (driven space, as opposed to ambience; give "ER" a spin, for instance) that will likely stand out from this excellent run. A bit by way of customary play dissolves as the band > for "Cavern."Before / afterMull> CavernGap3SET 1

At 7:45, Page and Trey slide the jam cleanly into F, where a textured and detailed bliss jam oozes and bounces in dynamic. Trey fades a sustained note into foley so Page can step up to the organ (with the assistance of swirl and crunch) and remind us all of why he is the Chairman Of The Boards. Around the 11 minute mark, whale call Trey joins Mike and Fish's rhythmic bounce. Finally at 13:00, after just over 5 minutes of continued type II jamming, Trey winds the band back into the classic outro riff.Before / afterTurtle in the CloudsBirds of a FeatherGap4SET 1
