Let's go DEEP in  this episode and JAM!! We'll blow your mind and take you to places you've never been. And maybe even scare the shit out of you too...or at least, that's the goal lol. For this series, there are only 2 songs per show; and to qualify as a true "Monster Jam", each song has to clock it at least 20:00. So, those are the rules, but the ONLY rules. So, let's strap in, blast into outer space, and get lost in the music. Allow us to take you to that special place that only Jazz Mountain can take you to.
