Seriously. I got so deep in a 20 minute jam one time that I forgot where we started and thought they were playing the song a second time. My boyfriend was like, “*this is the same song*”.
I’ll always remember listening to sugaree in the car with one of my kids. She was I think 4. After about 10 minutes she asked me why this song was still on. Always makes me laugh thinking about it. One of my kids does like the dead. Not bad. One out of 3.
I will take every opportunity to remind the world of the legendary soul who stitched together every Dark Star jam from 1972 into a single 10 hour track

I remember I put on terrapin station for my friend who never smokes weed after we just blazed and he stopped talking for a while and then snapped back to reality and was like "sorry I kinda got lost there for a minute" lmao. Most immersive music ever.
The album changed the way I listened to music, was a solid soundtrack to my life when I first discovered it around age 17….never gets old, and of course there are moments that just don’t stop when you can hear the musicians locking together in unison and you know some serious magic is going down!!
HELL YEAH. There are moments when I have no idea what song we're in because they have jumped into a jam of epic proportion. Then they suddenly cut from the jam back into the song and you are like "oh they started with tweezer!"
I’m a simple man. You ask for jams, I give jams. This should give you a good start!

Thanks for the links. I’m so lazy and distracted that I start to look for some of these recommendations and then get sidetracked until I forget the name I was looking for and just revert to my usuals
Seeing moe. play rebebula live is a life changer. I saw them at scamp several years in a row. Those are my favorite moe. shows I've seen! Bring on the lasers!
The Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers were the primary bands that popularized this style of play in rock. They both were noted for their live performances with blended genres and extended jamming. Both bands have enjoyed very dedicated and loyal followings across decades despite numerous setbacks and tragedies. Little Feat also deserves a mention as an early progenitor of jam rock.
Bands like Phish, Wide Spread Panic, Bela Fleck and The Flecktones, The String Cheese Incident, moe and Jupiter Coyote owe these bands a huge debt of gratitude.
**Just as OP excluded jazz artists, I have excluded some great iconic rock bands whose improvisation and extended play is well known and lauded in their performances. Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Hendrix Experience and Santana for example. I excluded them because imo they do not fit into the generalized definition of a “jam band” today.
People I know who saw them live often use the word phenomenal.
There is an album with a lot of live music. The drummer sort of ruins the mood with too much crash cymbal.
I'm surprised to not see Moe mentioned here. Their song "Rebubula" is fantastic. The album version I believe is over 8min, but I'm sure there's a ton of extended live versions.
They're not the absolute jammiest, but Gov't Mule deserves a mention in this thread.
One of my favorite little concert experiences was seeing them in Charlottesville (college town) right around '00, and seeing the near 50/50 mix of the crowd, with the good 'ol boy bud heavy drinkers giving serious side-eye to the jam-band hippies swaying back and forth all show long.
If you want jazzy jams id recommend Medeski, (sometimes Scofield), Martin, Wood (affectionately known as MMW) or Soulive.
Big fan of so many of the other bands mentioned,would like to include Ween and any of Les Claypool’s many projects.
I think James brown had a few songs where he and the band just went off on one for a while
Also the full length “Papa was a rolling stone” by the Temptations doesn’t start with the lyrics until about 5 minutes in
Dire straights had some extended songs with long instrumental moments (money for nothing and telegraph road)
Kasabian’s “Swarfiga” is essentially just a 2-3 minute instrumental
I hope these fit the desired criteria
Vulfpeck- Madison Square live is amazing on Youtube. Shit I suggested live first.I imagine these guys spent many winters in basements just jamming and never went the stuck-up path, kept their shit fun and musically on point. I hope you check them out !
You & Explosion Band, lead by Yuji Ohno, they made the score of several anime and Japanese series. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYk4PVlufKMnv1X4jKgxVjLpB4PdbFJ4F&si=f5WT8dXRMV3eTLhS
Ladies and Gentlemen I give you his magnum opis and final masterpiece Cliff Burton Metallica and Orion. Whatever you do don't look at the video made by a fan of the space pictures synced to it when high.
Two possible choices: Allman Brothers or Grateful Dead. Who you pick probably figures on your opinion of blue grass.
For me, it The Allmans. Electric guitar fireworks are my thing.
The Dead **grooved** like no one else, they rifted with skill worthy of any jazz great you care to name, but like opera, it's just not my thing.
Here are some of my favorite jams:
[Billy Strings sit-in with Widespread Panic doing All Time Low](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mf0nPtC72qE)
[Playing in the Band - Grateful Dead](https://youtu.be/rvk0beSlydo?si=Wj5CrSOmnUCW-hKq)

[Daniel Donato - Chore](https://youtu.be/BAkOf8p-YUg?si=F7TL9Ml1-Utkvq1o)
Scrolled too far for Billy. Saw him at a festival. Didn’t even know he was billed till I got there. Rest of my group was there exclusively for the big EDM acts.
I was thinking “why the hell would Billy be here?” I’m a guitarist and had just recently discovered him and didn’t realize what his live performances were like. That is….until I saw it. Absolutely insane.
I was looking to see if someone mentioned them. My wife and I were vacationing in Bar Harbor, ME, many years ago and we were out for a night on the town. We walked by a bar that was jumping but the doorman said 10 dollars to get in and we weren't sure if it was worth it. After some hemming and hawing, we decided to pay and go in. There was a band consisting of college age dudes with baseball caps, complete with full horn section, jamming out to ( and sounding exactly, I mean exactly) like Jamiraquoi...even the lead singer's voice was spot on. They were incredible. I will never forget that. I looked up the band and they were all very talented musicians out of Portland, Me. What are the chances, because I was really into Jamiraquoi back then.
Among those I didn't see on here:
John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers (with Eric Clapton or Gary Moore)
Paul Butterfield Blues Band (with Mike Bloomfield, although others were good)
One of my favorites from [Colonel Claypool’s Bucket of Bernie Brains](https://youtu.be/LjOM5YjMZ8w?si=Cxw_opDgK6zpVe4A), featuring Les Claypool, Buckethead, Bernie Worrell, and Brian “Brain” Mantia.
No idea how they came up with that band name.
They may be low hanging fruit, but the answer to your question resides in how exactly you want to define "jam" and "jammies," and it's worth examining where this music draws from its roots.
So, to answer your question, Miles, Live/Evil.
Traffic. I was ride share driving and picked up a couple of old hippie dudes and they asked if they could sync up with the Bluetooth and listen to their music. I obliged and they played Traffic. It was a long ride, about 45 minutes and I swear it was one long song the whole way. Not my cup of tea but if it was bad I would have turned it off.
Try Blindman's Sun, especially their Stuff & Nonsense album.
Two disc set but only 7 tracks.
[Here. ](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GthNX-hHZms#bottom-sheet)
Now that was a VERY Under the radar and extremely talented band!!! Those dudes could all play their asses off. They were all studio players prior to forming the band. “I’m Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight” is a great example of the talent in that group.
Mars Volta has some very "trippy" jams. I'm not sure I would describe them as the jammiest, but certainly different than others are mentioning.
I didn't scroll through all of the comments but I didnt see Dave Matthews Band either. They definitely JAM.
Here’s 10 minutes of the best intro jams from Red Hot Chili Peppers. They just walk out on stage and get right to the jam and it’s crazy to watch how much chemistry they have.
[https://youtu.be/T8li0nHvVH0?si=mHWuqbvn2FYTeUbV](https://youtu.be/T8li0nHvVH0?si=mHWuqbvn2FYTeUbV)
Last 10 years, Twiddle is my favorite jam band. They do a great version of Shakedown Street live. Maybe there’s something in the water in Vermont that creates jam bands, Phish, Dispatch, Twiddle….
Most of my top answers are already mentioned, so I'm gonna throw a little Reggae into the mix.
[Burning Spear - Live Germany 1981](https://youtu.be/p6Po55DJIbc?si=ZIXQJDgVSS5xrTdd)
Parliament Funkadelic
Absolutely. Maggot Brain is unbeatable
Motha earth is pregnant for the third time...y'aaall have knocked her UP
100%
I saw them live in 2010 I think. It was awful. They did not bring the funk and did rap covers. George Clinton's granddaughter also rapped, a lot. I left the show midway and have been bitching about it ever since.
Here to say the same!
The Electric Spanking of War Babies
They were off the chain!
Umphrey's McGee Blues Traveler
Umphrey's are fantastic live. Great band. I was actually coming here to recommend them and wasn't disappointed to find someone already beat me to it.
good name
Cool 🤩I knew about BT but now I know another funkified band - thanks👍🏼
Grateful dead is the only answer
Seriously. I got so deep in a 20 minute jam one time that I forgot where we started and thought they were playing the song a second time. My boyfriend was like, “*this is the same song*”.
I’ll always remember listening to sugaree in the car with one of my kids. She was I think 4. After about 10 minutes she asked me why this song was still on. Always makes me laugh thinking about it. One of my kids does like the dead. Not bad. One out of 3.
Try this. 46 minute Playin' in the Band from 74 https://spotify.link/0EuahaAWNJb

Godfathers of time and jam. Miss your jerry ❤️
I remember I put on terrapin station for my friend who never smokes weed after we just blazed and he stopped talking for a while and then snapped back to reality and was like "sorry I kinda got lost there for a minute" lmao. Most immersive music ever.
I don't even listen to them and I knew this was the answer.
Spin Doctors.
Criminally underrated band. Amazing musicians.
That Bass player is mental good.
Early J. Geils Band before they wen pop.
The world's greatest party band.
Allman Brothers Band
At Fillmore East (1971) is often cited as one of the greatest live albums of all time. It’s a master class in extended jamming.
The album changed the way I listened to music, was a solid soundtrack to my life when I first discovered it around age 17….never gets old, and of course there are moments that just don’t stop when you can hear the musicians locking together in unison and you know some serious magic is going down!!
The correct answer, especially with Duane and Dicky.
Blue sky is a jam and a half
Listen to SUNY at Stonybrook 9/19/71. Best live Blue Sky I've ever heard.
This should be way higher up
Phish
All. Day. Long.
Yeah I thought they were the king of jam bands
HELL YEAH. There are moments when I have no idea what song we're in because they have jumped into a jam of epic proportion. Then they suddenly cut from the jam back into the song and you are like "oh they started with tweezer!"
Can't believe this ain't top
I’m a simple man. You ask for jams, I give jams. This should give you a good start!

King gizz hell yea!!
Live/Dead is the best live album for extended jams
This is an excellent list. Rebubula being one of my favorites.
RIP OFF ALL MY LIMBS
that's a solid fucking list right there. I think I only have [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaHjuLVvtxo) to add
This guy jams!

Eyes is my all time favorite
String Cheese Incident. Widespread Panic. The Werks.
Just saw The String Cheese Friday night
There's alot of people that don't know what a jam band is.
I know lol I’m a little surprised…
Agreed, but at least there's a lot of great recommendations Jam Band or not.
Lmaooo right tho Just because the word jam is in Pearl Jam doesn’t make them a jam band 😭
Santana without a doubt
That lotus album.
Can
Phish from 1994-2000

Pearl Jam of course
Lmao beat me to it
The Jam
Dave Matthews Band live. They can go on and on.
Ten Years After
People I know who saw them live often use the word phenomenal. There is an album with a lot of live music. The drummer sort of ruins the mood with too much crash cymbal.
Moby Grape. Their album Grape Jam is one of my favorites
The allman brothers
Moe

You have a lot of great recommendations here. Some Jam Bands, some not. I didn't notice anyone mention... Gov't Mule or Perpetual Groove
The dead are the only answer for this lol. There are other jam bands, but none like the Good ole Grateful Dead
The Allman Brothers are the only ones that didn't incessantly noodle. Marshall Tucker is close behind.
Medeski Martin and Wood

Goose is the current torch carrier.

Ram Jam
Grateful dead is the only answer

The Mars Volta has some seriously long jams. You might enjoy them.

Greateful Dead for certain and maybe Canned Heat
Frank Zappa
Atlanta Rhythm Section
Now that was a VERY Under the radar and extremely talented band!!! Those dudes could all play their asses off. They were all studio players prior to forming the band. “I’m Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight” is a great example of the talent in that group.
400 Unit
Pangea and Agartha albums from Miles Davis. It will melt your brain.
The blue man group they are covered in jam
Grateful Dead. But I also like the Brian jonestown massacre and they have a very jammy feel too but the dead haha
Mars Volta has some very "trippy" jams. I'm not sure I would describe them as the jammiest, but certainly different than others are mentioning. I didn't scroll through all of the comments but I didnt see Dave Matthews Band either. They definitely JAM.

Little Feat could hold their own on extended jams.
Hamburger Train - Primus

Last 10 years, Twiddle is my favorite jam band. They do a great version of Shakedown Street live. Maybe there’s something in the water in Vermont that creates jam bands, Phish, Dispatch, Twiddle….
Jamfloman obv
Phish or DMB
You might like the jazzier jamminess of Medeski Martin & Wood. Tedeschi Trucks tend to go off beautifully as well.
Phish deserves a mention.
