One Traveling Wilbury paid tribute to another this weekend.

Bob Dylan honored his late friend and Traveling Wilbury bandmate Tom Petty on Saturday night at a concert in Broomfield, Colo., where Dylan performed Petty's 1991 song Learning to Fly.

Petty, who would have turned 67 on Friday, died Oct. 2 in Los Angeles. A private memorial service for the frontman of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers was held Oct. 16 in Pacific Palisades, Calif. 

While no foul play is suspected, an exact cause of death for the rocker has not been determined as the Los Angeles County coroner awaits toxicology results, which could take several weeks.
