Favorites include Def Leppard, The Cars, Journey, Bryan Adams (yeah, bite me), Genesis, Tears for Fears, U2, Collective Soul (best band to start in the 90's).

It's hard for me to picture any of them doing jams. Maybe Genesis, on the weird old stuff, but that would be more prog-rock than hard rock. I like ZZ Top, which probably jams live on the older material I don't like. My guess is that time constraints on music videos (production cost and air time) helped kill jams in recorded music.
I`ll admit I`m a bit lost what you`re really looking for here!! Jams are as the name suggests, band members jamming with their guitars or perhaps other instruments usually to extend songs on stage or add improvisation etc, this for obvious reasons can`t be done on their studio material or videos, unless its a recording of a live show.

Or are you talking about long instrumental sections that sound like a jam within a song such as riffs?
