Members of Dead & Company paid a touching tribute to their dearly departed friend John Perry Barlow during a concert in Mexico on Feb. 15.

Barlow, who died Feb. 6 at the age of 70, was one of the lyricists for the Grateful Dead as well as the co-founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), the groundbreaking San Francisco-based organization promoting free expression and privacy online.

Dead & Company – the incredibly popular offshoot of the Grateful Dead, featuring longtime members Bob Weir, Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann as well as pop-rock star John Mayer and acclaimed musicians Oteil Burbridge and Jeff Chimenti – performed a number of Barlow numbers, including a great version of “Looks Like Rain,” with Barlow’s picture shown on the screen in back of the band.

Watch the video below:

Barlow was best known for work with Weir, which really took flight with Weir’s first solo album, 1972’s “Ace.” Here’s our list of Barlow’s 11 greatest songs.
