More than anything, this jam is essential for what it helped break open for Phish than for the music played within. The band spends much of its first half simply trying to figure out how to play improvisational music while allowing for complete freedom of expression. Quite a tall task, as those of us who listened regularly to the band during this era can attest. It's important to note that, while there certainly were high quality jams played throughout 2009-2011, the band hadn't played with this level of wild abandon in seven years. Building through frenetic noise and swirls of hyper kinetic playing around demented grooves, Mike shines as the band member with the most unique ideas throughout the early segments of the jam. All of this ebbs & flows in directionless playing (sometimes satisfying, sometimes frustrating) until around 31min when we emerge into a stunning space of transcendent jamming that we simply hadn't heard until this point in 3.0. This fades around 38min into a plinko soundscape, leading to a very heavy-Mike/Fish rhythm-off in the early 40s. |
Jam chart versions are selected because of improvisational and other characteristics that distinguish these from typical versions of the song.
