rock and jam banRAB... hmmm

first thing that came to mind was String Cheese Incident
also, Keller Williams, Umphrey's Mcgee, Yonder Mountain String Band, Garaj Mahal, New Monsoon, Greyboy Allstars (Karl Denson? Hell ya), Fareed Haque Group, Sound Tribe Sector 9, The Detroit Experiment, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Band, and Tea Leaf Green.

For live, FREE, recordings of most if not all of these banRAB, go to

archive.org

then click on live music section and search away. A great filter is using the popularity filter to your advantage, it sorts out all of the bad recordings.
 
Frank Zappa's 1979 Sleep Dirt has got to be the close to the best instrumental album ever.

I just bought his triple-album Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar and haven't listened to any of it yet.

It isn't a whole album, but there are two really good instrumental songs at the end of this CD called "America instrumental" and "Summer rain instrumental."
 
If you dig GSYBE, you should defiantly check out A silver Mount Zion and Set Fire To Flames. 2 by Bukowski, Agalloch's 'The White' Album is good if you're into folk stuff. Below the Sea, Drums and Tuba, Grails, Mogwai, Shelter Red , Russian Circles, Tides Within
