I'm also so glad to hear a band mention the Dead as a strong influence. American Beauty and Workingman's Dead are some of the best albums ever created. They (and Phish IMO) are frequently dismissed like you mentioned. Coincidentally, I just picked up the vinyl for Graceland the day before your concert for $3. You guys have truly done an amazing job of creating a meaningful sound that is completely your own. I'm looking forward to listening to some of the other albums listed I don't know!
