Both TVM jams are pretty in-line with expectations, and not unique. The Munchkin jam at least features solid communication amongst the band, but I think ultimately the themes here are pretty boring. Step Inside is somehow 11 minutes long and there’s no jam. Okay…? This Shem-Rah jam is decent. Nothing outstanding, but a solid trance jam. Camera B is standard, jamless.

WIS is jamless. 7-11 has a short “towel” jam. The second jam is a fast-paced, dark trance jam. Again, nothing super unique going on here, but this is solid. Boop has the usual blues/funk jam that is, almost invariably, boring as hell (at least for 2.0). This is no exception. Second jam is dark trance once again, though this is a little less interesting than the other trance littered throughout this show. Strawberry Girl has an actual jam! It’s totally forgettable, but it at least has a jam, which is a move in the right direction. Both Robots jams did nothing for me. The Lai jam is this happy-go-lucky jambandy jam that I don’t hate. This is about what I expect from Lai jams, and I enjoyed this.

Highlights: SRB, 7-11 (2), Lai
