In contrast to some of the other monsters of recent years, this version stays tethered to "Tweezer" (or something close to it) for an extended period before it gradually peels away, but even while the jam remains within arm's reach of home, the play is fresh and engaging.
From there the band embarks on an adventurous journey marked by constant evolution which flows remarkably well, making every new section feel like an organic extension of the same piece, all without relying on any of the well-worn paths one might expect a jam of this length to indulge in. And while this dynamic does not lend itself to a singular peak, the jam is ripe with recurring motifs and themes despite its freewheeling nature, perhaps culminating around 24:30 with Trey's long sustained note over a "MLB"-esque descent. > "Lonely Trip" to end this exhilarating ride.
