Stephen Malkmus covered Silver Jews’ “Trains Across the Sea” and “The Wild Kindness” at a Saturday night concert in Glasgow, Scotland, in honor of the band’s late frontman, David Berman. You can watch video captured by a fan, Alistair McErlain, below.
Berman died on August 8 at the age of 52, spawning a wave of remembrances and covers of his songs.
