Phish - April 27th, 2025

After a wobbly start to the song, the jam transitions to bliss at 3:50, a move unique for "Llama", and then wraps traditionally.

Begins in the usual tenor but becomes increasingly atmospheric and textured as it subtly brightens into a more established major sound until around 7:00 when a spunkier, more "Timber"-like energy returns to guide the jam back home. Longest version since 11/28/97.

A centerpiece "YEM" that takes full advantage of the two-jam format which has become familiar since 12/31/21. After a short vocal jam, the band digs back in with quality "Type II" riffing which intensifies before landing in a poignant, inspirational zone and eventually peters out -> "Twist".

No mere landing pad. After winding its way "in" from the remnants of a huge "YEM," the band completely divorces itself from former sounds to create yet another remarkable sonic space. Breaking quickly from the song, the jam is very much of itself and perhaps, at least initially, rich with a bit more by way of those welcome Santana over- and undertones. But then. Listen in. The jamming, if not quixotic, has something of an exotic, offbeat, hushed and admirable atonal quality. And then. Keep processing. Thanks in large part to Page, everything is something else completely. Quirky. But not quite. For Trey keeps working a number of warm melodies before play becomes pleasantly droning and noisy with Trey then screwing this heavy morass into "Twist's" signature riff.

Tight, exploratory version that wastes no time. An early stop-start section (replete with Trey's careening sirens blocking out "woos") takes hold, before an excellent key change leads to an (at times) polytonal synth-rich romp with top-notch interplay. "KDF"'s DNA starts to slowly re-emerge before the jam melts from the song's traditional ending > "Lifeboy".

Don't leave yet! This is no perfunctory Encore on the last night of the tour as the band drops one of their longest jams ever in the extra period. Trey leads the band through multiple distinct sections of jamming. After returning to the chorus, even the feedback ending gets extended.
