So upset to hear this news. I saw DMB on June 28 in Virginia and that might've been one of his last shows. I'm so disappointed to learn he's passed away. LeRoi-your musical talent will be greatly missed.

So sad. I feel like I was punched in the stomach. I just cannot believe it.

He was responsible for most of the DMB sound that we have all become accustomed to.

As I have written in earlier posts on this site, I am a big Grateful Dead fan. I feel as bad as I did on August 9, 1995, when I was standing on a softball field warming up for a beer league game and my friend walked over and told me about Jerry Garcia passing that day. I just broke down.

The Dave Matthews Band filled a hole for me when the Grateful Dead and Phish ceased to exist as touring bands. LeRoi was one of my favorite musicians. A real talent.

The surviving members of DMB put it best with this statement on their website:

"It's always easier to leave, than to be left."

I may borrow that quote.

Sail on LeRoi.

"Fare you well, fare you well
I love you more than words can tell
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
to rock my soul"...Robert Hunter

I can't imagine how hard it was to play through that show last night. It had to be emotional.

listening to some DMB today in his memory. Sail on LeRoi.

I heard DM was barely able to make it through the show the other night. He was getting choked up talking about it.

This Su*ks!!!

I have been listening to DMB since they first came out and have seen them more times than Jimmy.....

I cant imagine how emotional that show on the 20th must have been for the band and the fans....

Leroi and his talent will be very missed!
