1.0 refers to the band prior to 10/7/00 when the "Hiatus" began.
2.0 refers to the band from 12/31/02 - 8/15/04 when the band officially broke up.
3.0 refers to the band since getting back together in 2009.

Type I refers to a jam that stays within a song's melody, rhythmic structure, key, etc. Think of songs like "The Mango Song" or "Funky Bitch." The instrumental sections of these songs almost always sound like the same song - in other words, Type I.

Type II refers to jams the deviate beyond the song's structure, key, melody, etc, and into more free form improvisation. Songs which often have Type II jams include "Piper", "Tweezer", and "Ghost."

Also, thanks to those above who noted the excellent "Tela" on 8/27/88 and also pointed out some obvious typos on my part.

I agree, very good def. However, I think it should also be noted that under this definition Type II acumen can be found in much of 97, 98 and 99, without the same edge as the abstractions of post hiatus--02-04, what many refer to as the Oxy Years. Which ironically, since I've been sober, I really don't spend much time with, funny, how about that..
