During their Aug. 25 gig at Darien Lake, Dead & Company noted the passing of Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts by performing the band’s 1965 cut “The Last Time.”

Watts died on Aug. 24, following complications from a recent surgery.

“Economy of motion, epitome of cool. Rest In Peace, Charlie Watts,” D&C guitarist John Mayer wrote upon learning of his passing.

The Stones cover arrived midway through Dead & Company’s second half at Darien Lake, right before a contemplative “Drums”> “Space.” (A combination of The Rolling Stones’ tongue logo and the Grateful Dead’s “Steal Your Face” icon was also shown overhead.)

The band then hammered home their memorial of the drummer by encoring with Bob Dylan’s “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door.”

‘What a beautiful night in Upstate New York at Darien Lake! Thank you all and we’ll see you Friday in Saratoga Springs,” Dead & Company wrote via social media after the gig.
