The iconic group took some time out of the evening to honor those who couldn't be there to perform with them: bassist Gregg Philbin, who died in 2022, and former guitarist Gary Richrath, who died in 2015.
"I'm not going to sit up here and babble," he said during the emotional moment, according to Ultimate Classic Rock. "We've got a lot of music to get to. I think in this moment, my dad would probably say, 'Let's get back to the rock,' so let's do that." The younger musician then joined the band for a performance of "Ridin' the Storm Out."
"What a rock star that guy was," Doughty said of Richrath. "There's one song that Alan put on the set list, 'Sing to Me,' which we'd never played live. Playing along with the record here, I'm going, 'Man, Richrath killed on that song.' Going through [the material], it's kind of bittersweet. It's just like, 'Man, that guy was such a guitar player.'"
"We're doing 'Lost in a Dream' at the Champaign show," Gratzer added. "If you listen to Gregg's bass part [on that song], I didn't appreciate it at the time, but now, after hearing it a hundred times in the last two or three months, I'm going, 'Oh my God!'"
"As hard as it's all been for everybody, including me, don't forget that love will cure you," Hall said at the farewell concert. "I'm counting on that."
