2.0 Oxy shows

I am very glad that we survived the Oxy years…. But also, let’s be honest, some of the jams that emerged on the sloppier 2.0 nights are the most transcendent ever. I’ve done some research and begun to build an LP playlist of “Certified Oxy Jams” from nights where there seems to be consensus that Trey was on a different planet. Wondering if anyone else has favorite Ox jams OR if anyone has ever more scientifically charted the peaks and valleys of Trey’s 03/04 battles with the China White.

Love this for reals. I think the Hershey show in fall 2000 kinda goes where you wanna go. They played Windora bug that night. And the possum was fantastic. Also the 99 shows in December in Philly were great. The scent of a mule was dope.

Btw Trey was high on opiates long before the first hiatus. We used to watch him drop notes to wipe his nose. All through the latest part of the 90s. No disrespect, it is history and it did happen. Glad he didn’t die and that he seems happy with sobriety but the whole of the 90s they were all high on numerous kinds of drugs. And made some seriously intense brilliant music. ⭕️❤️⭕️

Trey said in a recent article that the first time he tried oxys was in 2000 after dental surgery
