Jam charts
46 of 5,198 jam-charted performances in 1987. A jam chart is a human curator's note that this version is worth hearing.
Curation lags the shows. Jam charts are written by volunteers after the fact, so recent months look empty — 12.9% of timed tracks are marked overall, and the most recent year with any marks at all is 2026. A recent show with no jam chart means not yet curated, not "nothing good happened". Prediction treats the last 365 days as uncurated for exactly this reason.
