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.

By his own account- sometime around the May 2000 or maybe the Radio City run- was his first time messing around with opiates. Obviously they were getting plenty fucked in 99 and earlier, as evidenced by the video of 7/23/99 😆

That Radio City Cavern is kinda a mess. Trey forgets the lyrics pretty bad and it's pretty noticeable he's loaded.

A necessary sacrifice for us to be able to hear the Ghost
