I mean.. They've Played and clearly been inspired by a bunch of 2.0 songs. Considering some of the stories flying around late 98-2000 and the fact that nobody in the band died in 03-04, I'm always going to view everything after Summer 98 and before Hampton 09 as part of its own curve in the continuum.

There's 8 legitimate improv monsters in those 2 albums, 9 if you count Round Room as anyone who has heard the Vegas or Gorge versions should.

For awhile it seemed like they felt they were slipping medicine in with the applesauce when they played 2.0 songs, but at a certain point they may have realized that there are 30 year old fans out there who were still in college during the 2.0 era and that these songs have plenty of history to people who started seeing the band in the late90s or 03-04.

I'd rather see Round Room than whatever creaky song they haven't played since 88 any day
