I dunno, Green and Kirwan might have picked up something from the Dead (besides some acid)... the GD were heavily into Miles Davis and were incorporating some ideas about spaces into their jams as early as Clementine Jam (although very cautiously). Peter was way ahead in that regard though it's true.
