Asheton died at his home in Michigan in 2009 after suffering a heart attack. He was 60.
Paying tribute to the guitarist at the Ann Arbor's Michigan Theater, Pop said: "I need to thank Ron. He sort of peed this beautiful music all over me.
“When I started a band Ron was the first guy who got behind me. I owe him…I know he's trying to flick ashes on my head from heaven right now."
According to Rolling Stone, Pop then playing a new song entitled 'Ron's Tune', backed by James Williams – the guitarist who took over Asheton's role in 1973.
