Livestream: Watch John Perry Barlow’s Memorial “Graduation”

April 8, 2018


Relix‘s  YouTube page is broadcasting a free stream of John Perry Barlow’s memorial service, live from The Fillmore in San Francisco.

The event was billed as “Barlow’s Graduation From Meatspace” and featured guests like Bob Weir, Steve Kimock, Sean Lennon, Wavy Gravy, The Soul Rebels, a recorded speech by Edward Snowden and more. 

“We invite you to join us on April 8th for one last BarlowFrenzy,” read an official invitation posted on Barlow’s website. “Let us come together to celebrate the profound impact that John Perry Barlow had on our lives. While a BarlowFrenzy will not be the same without Barlow, we intend to make this a party he would be proud of. There will be fine words spoken, there will dancing, but most importantly there will be you – his prized collection of humanity at its finest.”

A childhood friend of Weir, Barlow acted as the guitarist’s primary songwriting partner, penning some of the Grateful Dead’s most beloved tunes including “Mexicali Blues,” “Cassidy,” “Estimated Prophet,” “I Need A Miracle,” “The Music Never Stopped,” “Throwing Stones” and more.
