Citation, please.

I will refrain from naming names because I'd rather not make the point personal. But let me just offer that I have seen certain reviewers elsewhere labeling certain summer 2012 jams "storage jams" and it's starting to stick in my craw. The Storage Jam was wonderful and unique because of its presentation, but the idea that the style of play that emerged from the Storage Jam was unprecedented is mistaken. Anybody who disagrees is free to call out a specific stretch of the Storage Jam that they feel constitutes previously uncharted territory and I will be glad to go fetch a clip from a previous jam that approximates that style.

Per your comment, can you cite some jams from 2009 which you think sound like the Tahoe Light and the Gorge R&R (two examples of what folks call 'storage jamming')?

There's also the matter of your passive-aggressive 'pretentiously' swipe, but whatever.
