Why do you keep throwing out things like "they are prog rock they can't be a jam band."?

Jam Band isn't a genre its a scene and withing that scene are bands with many different genres.

The southern rock of WSP and Allman Brothers.
The prog rock of Primus and Umphreys Mcgee.
The folk of the dead. etc etc.

I hate labeling shite but this is pretty much it. It doesn't matter who/what/where/why WHATEVER...so long as they 'jam'.

Now WTF defines a jam band is beyond me. I've played a couple times before and we would extend songs or mesh a couple tunes or just (by my definition) 'jam' for a few minutes. It wouldn't be the whole show but we would open up with a little 5-10 minute intro jam. If we were a few songs in and felt a little too tight, we would just jam to loosen up and get right. It wasn't an every night thing so I wouldn't consider us a jam band.
