Sad news that LeRoi Moore, a founding member of the Dave Matthews Band has died. He was the big burly saxaphone player known for wearing the dark sunglasses.
He was in an ATV at the end of June, but had been released from the hospital and started rehabilitation. Some complication landed him back in the hospital and he eventually died.
I've seen DMB twice in Foxboro. They do a great live show. They're one of the bands whose live albums--and they've done several offical releases--are even better than their studio ones. Sure they were the popular group among the "Abercrombie" set and I've never seen as many pretty teen/college age kids wearing plaid and pre-frayed hats in one place than at those DMB shows. But the fan base always sort of belied their musical talent to me.
Here's a YouTube of a live show featuring the playing Moore.
