2002 / Standard CD
The 16-track Halo 17a live album documents Fragility 2.0 and was issued separately in a single digipak.
And All That Could Have Been
Released January 22, 2002 as Halo 17, And All That Could Have Been documents Fragility 2.0 through a handmade, in-house film assembled from footage captured across the 2000 tour. Its atmosphere is rusted metal, dim shelter light, and the exhausted beauty of a band looking back at the edge of an ending.

The film was assembled from consumer-camera footage captured by the touring organization rather than a conventional multicamera concert shoot. Its degraded texture and close access place the viewer inside the Fragility 2.0 production instead of presenting a polished arena overview.
The deluxe audio edition adds Still, a separate studio program that reframes earlier songs through piano, guitar, and restrained electronics alongside five new pieces.
