R.I.P. Leroi Moore
Dave Matthews Band has been, in my eyes, one of the most talented groups of my generation. One of my lifetime goals was, and still is, to see them live because their music mesmorizes me and their concert DVD’s are nothing short of amazing. So finding out that DMB saxophonist and sunglasses purveyor Leroi Moore died after complications that arose from an ATV accident back in June was devastating. Dave Matthews Band has always been better than the sum of it’s parts and now that one of it’s parts is gone, I can only imagine that the band itself will suffer as a result. Sure they can bring on someone else to fill in (they brought in the sax player from Bela Fleck and the Flecktones to finish the current tour), but it won’t sound the same. I’m curious what they will do for the next album and subsequent tours, but one thing is for sure, the music world lost one of the most professional musicians around.
