what is the appeal of long drawn out jam songs?

Jam bands aren't my thing, and I'm not trying to rip people who are into them.
On the above, I think it's best when there's some variety. I saw Gary Clark Jr. and he did some solos well outside of his albums. They were fun, and he bookended them with tighter sections. I was into that.
The jam band stuff that loses me is when there's song after song that feels like they're 20 minutes of meandering solo, and they come one after another. I liked GCJ a lot because you got solos interspersed with stuff that's direct and to the point, which I don't think you get with most jam bands.

I like the happy medium, album sounding song but with a slightly different sound due to the non-produced music in a live setting, maybe with a small improvisation session, and then call it a day.
