Maybe I didn't take enough drugs or maybe I just wasn't there, but I've never really gotten into the jam band scene, either then (the Dead, et. al.) or now (Phish and friends). I just find 22 minute songs where everyone solos a little tedious and self-indulgent. That said, this famous concert album from 1971 is a pretty good example of a band jamming in an interesting way that draws from rock, blues, jazz, and r&b. You do have to wonder though if blues songs were meant to be blown up into electric jams devoid of their context (rural, poor, black). There are multiple reissues with more songs.
