Jam Chart for Walls of the Cave (11 entries)
| Date | City | Timing | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2002-12-31 | New York, NY | 18:17 | Debut, which includes an excellent "Type II" section beginning about 11:00 that eventually returns to "WOTC." |
| 2003-02-14 | Inglewood, CA | 23:13 | Despite its duration, most of the jam section is essentially "Type I" with some interesting instrumentation. At about 18:00, the jam finally breaks free of "WOTC" into a nice low-key section that -> to "Carini." |
| 2003-02-22 | Cincinnati, OH | 19:57 | Extended "Type I" jam with building energy. |
| 2003-02-25 | Philadelphia, PA | 19:01 | Around 13:00, the jam breaks into an effects-laden groove, although it is not far removed from typical "WOTC." Returns to the standard at 17:30 to wrap up. |
| 2004-06-19 | Saratoga Springs, NY | 20:11 | Straightforward until 12:55 when the jam breaks into a nice "Type I" outro jam. This jam settles briefly, then builds into a great "Type II" jam with some melodic licks from Trey that preview the catchy riff he seizes on in the following day's "Ghost." |
| 2004-06-24 | Noblesville, IN | 12:23 | "Type I" version includes a "DwD" jam from 9:10 - 10:25. |
| 2004-08-09 | Hampton, VA | 17:34 | Aggressive, in-your-face "Type I" version. |
| 2004-08-14 | Coventry, VT | 15:19 | Jam breaks from the standard at 11:00 into a mellow groove that builds energy and > to "Runaway Jim." |
| 2021-08-06 | Noblesville, IN | 12:28 | Fish adds an extended flourish on the snare at 7:02, which is only a brief look at his fantastic work during this version. He's matched by some aggressive play from Trey in a jam that stays within the bounds of the song. |
| 2022-05-31 | Charleston, SC | 15:10 | A refreshing jam (and set placement) in this first version since '04 to significantly deviate from the typical format. Extra effects use loosens things up early as it dips into a short-lived, but moody darker segment, and then the jam brightens considerably at 10:00 with Trey and Page pairing up nicely for dual leads, before finally working its way back to "WoTC" to conclude. |
| 2022-09-03 | Commerce City, CO | 16:21 | Another version that breaks form with grime out of the gate and then develops a "There is a Mountain" theme before dipping back into the muck at 11:30. From there the jam eventually winds its way into uplifting territory once again for an exuberant peak. |
