@Waxbanks - what is the timing of the Tahoe Light and the Gorge R&R jam that you're referring to? I'm quite familiar with both and will be happy to fulfill my promise.

In the Tahoe Light, the stretch starting somewhere around 9:00 -- or the last 7ish minutes of the Gorge R&R -- in both cases, dark atmospheric playing from Page/Trey/Mike with Fishman keeping up a steadily-complicating rhythmic pulse underneath, the tonal instruments slooooowly dissociating from the beat (e.g. Trey's guitar boomerangs in Light, Page's theremin scream in R&R).

The same style is coalescing in the Blossom Sally, the Camden R&R, and the Super Ball IX Golden Age -- all from summer 2011 too.

What I'm looking for, btw, isn't a 2009 jam that sounds vaguely similar. To my ears 'storage jamming' (not a good name but whatever) is a way of combining unusual-for-Phish harmonic freedom and really busy rhythm work from Fish, specifically without causing the jam to decay (as in, say, the 12/29/09 Tweezer). As if the Albany '09 Seven Below reached that incredible crest around the 11:00 mark and KEPT GOING into that scary harmonic-superposition space instead of cooling out into major chords behind Page's piano playing. It seems to me it's a principle, to stick with a specific kind of sonic space without going for Phishy resolution (or just dicking around as in so goddamn many mid-90s 'psychedelic' jams).
