(He previously tipped his hat to the group’s ultimate live collection from the same year, Europe 72, here on Pitchfork.) And he acknowledges the Dead’s influence on his current experiment with the Dust: “So I was looking at them as a model for some of the exploratory passages that the Dust and I have recently been attempting. Watching the Dead up on the screen was a real lesson in how it’s done.”
I did actually think of the Dead when I heard this record...so...I guess he nailed it?
