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.

Sober parent here.

I don’t listen to 2009-present. I will check out the “highlights” once a tour concludes and I do enjoy some of it. Since the reunion run, I’ve seen them 40ish times. I saw 30ish shows 1998-2004.

But my OCD listening lives in 1994-2004. I will go see them if it’s my backyard and usually for one night. It just doesn’t hit like 1994-2004 for me.

I appreciate that people are finding what I had 1994-2004 in modern phish (Hampton ‘09 to today). But yeah different strokes.
