Analysis and Explanation

Montpellier Jam, or Monty Jam for short, made it's debut in at the Montpellier Park&Suites Arena in October 2012, thus giving it's name. It's a mellow drum and bass jam that bears similarities to Nishe, which was played as a jam during The Resistance Tour, and just like Nishe it was played before the first (or second during The Unsustainable Tour) piano song in the set, giving the crew enough time to prepare Matt's piano for the following song. It also prominently features samples and glitchy sounds played by Morgan, and Matt also joins in towards the end of the jam with some piano improv, before leading into the following song.

Two versions of the jam were used, the first was played at arena and stadium shows and was longer while the second was shorter and was mainly played at festivals in 2013. The jam was played at virtually every gig from 2012 through to the end of 2013 (occasionally the jam was replaced with Dracula Mountain but this was rare). It was dropped after the end of the tour and it looks very unlikely it will be played again.
