R.I.P. Leroi Moore.

Roi was the reason I fell in love with this band. I enjoyed Crash, but wasn't a huge fan. In 1997, when L@RR was released, I put it on my Christmas list. Christmas morning, my family and I to open presents at 5 a.m. because my dad had to work. One of the presents was L@RR.

I had every intention on going back to bed after we were through. I went to bed, put on L@RR and the Seek Up solo at the beginning had me floored. It was so goddamn beautiful. Then came Proudest Monkey, a song I always skipped on Crash, and holy crap it was amazing. I ended up listening to the whole album

Thank you, Roi. Thank you for leading this band through Dave. I miss you.

I was raised in a unique way and my best friend and mentor was my grandfather. He was to me much like how LeRoi was to the band. He passed away 9 days prior to LeRoi and I'll never forget a friend messaging me sorry for your loss when I thought it was for my grandfather but it was coz LeRoi had passed. I couldn't help but feel a pang in my side like falling even further in the hole I was already in. I was also living in C'Ville at the time. I literally took the job there coz I wanted to be at the epicenter of my favorite band. Seeing the way people mourned his loss truly helped me also endure through my own loss. When the band came back that spring to play the JPJ arena and then go from Old Dirt Hill into Why I Am I really felt the power of how much they loved him. LeRoi you are missed as strongly as you made us fall in love you. From everyone you've inspirationally touched with your graceful sound to who you were as a person. Thank you

Saw the show last night and took my 6 year old daughter for her first show. In between the two sets she asked when we would see the guy on the saxophone with sunglasses. She has only seen the videos of the band before...many from late 90s and early 00's so I hadn't even registered that she didn't know he wouldn't be there. I remember talking to her all about him a couple years ago and she has always been mesmerized by him...especially when he would do a bit of the over the rainbow chords. Needless to say, I spent a lot of the 2nd set of the show thinking about Leroi and missing his presence. R.I.P.

Roi's last show was Bristow, Va., 7 years ago tonight

[Dannyyankou]

7 years today DMB changed forever.

[wvufan2010]

Was listening to Two Step from LT 13. Just listening to Roi's fills in that intro gave me chills. It's a small thing, but it's the whispers like that that I still miss the most.

[prdstmnky36]

I miss this so much

Listening to Lover Lay Down on LT 31, it really is Roi's song. Was lucky enough to his last performance of the song in 06.

Similarly, I saw his last performance of Pay For What You Get in 2008. It was special looking back on it.

This whole section is amazing. Especially at 4:25 when Dave gives his insight. "He plays as if he's not there".
Pretty accurate, I think.

[ripburn]

R.I.P Roi was an awesome saxophonist.

Well worth your time today, if you haven't seen this LeRoi tribute (and even if you have): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkB3E0cZpFY

Hard to believe it has been seven years already. Forever dancing.

[Roose13]

Seven years. Still feels like it was yesterday. RIP Roi. Still here dancing with the Groo Grux King

[crashintonickdm]

Rip Leroi. Miss you

It was weird hearing LeRoi be an answer for a radio contest this morning. I can not believe it has already been 7 years.

[stone95]

I never look forward to August 19th- but I know it's a way I can look back on the incredible memories he gave me.

[Dramageek]

RIP Roi. Forever thankful for the music.

[Dave&Tim41]

7 years, and I'll never forget where I was when I heard he passed. RIP Roi.

[bowa36]

Thank you for everything you've given us, Roi. Rest in peace, GrooGrux King.

[chadizzy1]

Listening to Typical on LT8, one of my favorite LeRoi solos

[dontdrink36]

Today is bittersweet for me. It reinforces how much he is missed, while at the same time, brings back such sweet memories of his beautiful music. We were lucky to experience his greatness and lucky to have so much great live material to remember him by.

[Dannyyankou]

Can't believe it's been 7 years. Listening to this show-

[ajc_1988]

rest in peace, good friend

not a day goes by that i don't miss what you brought to the world

[FeelingGood]

I hear your sweet sounds just about every day...I just hope you can hear the thanks I send back.

[culpn8r]

Bartender from Live Trax 2008 is one of the best performances this band has ever done -- still gives me chills. RIP Roi you are truly missed.

[TrippinNancies1]

"It's so unselfish, when he plays. It's so absolutely not about him. In a really different way from any musician I've ever heard, he plays as though he's not there. He can blow his ass off on the heavy tunes, but in the quieter tunes, when you can hear him whisper, that just blows my mind... We lost a comrade, but at his best." -DJM

R.I.P. LeRoi Moore

[seekup34]

Still my all-time favorite performance by this band. I've had his solo committed to memory for 15 years.

Thanks for the memories, LeRoi.

[T_Train]

I didn't get into this band until after LeRoi had passed, but since I've grown to love DMB, I miss him just as much as everyone else. Would give anything to have caught a show back in the day. You guys are some lucky people. R.I.P Roi.

[ToySoldier#34]

Considering the topic of the song I've always thought it is interesting that this is the last DMB song performance I saw Roi perform:

I miss him being part of the band, a beautiful player.
