I saw the Dave Matthews Band twice this summer, once in Philly and two weeks ago in Virginia Beach. LeRoi was absent from the latter show. He’d been injured in an ATV accident, suffering punctured lung and broken ribs. Tonight, he died from those injuries.
I’ve seen the Dave Matthews Band more times than any other (well, that doesn’t have a regular spot at a local bar playing covers), so this news hit pretty hard. Especially finding out while watching Larry King interview Bill Maher (without sound) on the treadmill. It’s hard to stand shocked in the middle of a run.
A few tracks featuring Roi from the DMB catalog:
Lie In Our Graves - Live at Red Rocks 8.15.95
Anyone Seen the Bridge - The Central Park Concert
Bartender - Live at Folsom Field (I’m a sucker for a flute).
Also, be sure to check out the rest of oceanfrog’s photos, they’re quite excellent.
