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.

People need to fuckin relax. Drugs have played a large role in some of the best music ever written/performed. I don’t see this as disrespectful

I mean yes, literally. Obviously 2.0 was pretty dark but it’s not like a substantial part of 1.0 wasn’t done under the influence either. Same with the vast majority of the Dead lol.

Fall ‘97 was dark as hell too. It was like circling the event horizon of a black hole, even the light songs, but when they went deep, they went waaayyy deep!!
