DMB Sledgehammer 6/28/08 Best Sound LeRoi's Last Show

[pciochetto]

was in row 4. Nvver imagined we,d be saying goodbye to Leroi. Was a great show. Thank you closer was alota fun. Return of "space"....From new york. Did friday night i hershey park pennsylvania, next in virginia.......I regret nothing....cept never doing long road trip to see them earlier

[730Racquel]

Their covers are fan-freakin-tastic! :) "burning down the house" also a gem and a half!!

[pciochetto]

Reliving "hammer" It was great...i lost about a pound during this performance. Also this was the best show i had seen....thank you as the finale..Dave dancin at the end...priceless. Best show until spac 09 n2......That was like a 3 hour orgasm

[akofoet]

The 06/28/09 show was the first time DMB played Sledgehammer live. I was at this show and just was just blown away.

[hurdisnoturd]

this was the first sledgehammer by dmb yall be trippin!!!

[ghsfisher22]

im pretty sure they played sledgehammer last year when i went to a concert in ATL

[smokeemtony20]

Not the first time they played Sledgehammer. Saw it a few weeks earlier than this in Chicago. Good version though.

[pciochetto]

No disrespect ......but if you saw sledghammer in chicago thats great, but it wasnt played by dmb. I vivdly remember the complete surprise of the first sledghammer they pulled outa nowhere on that nite. I also just  cheked the almanac just to be sure

[Parrotisla]

pciochetto is right

[peacebwithu97]

Awesome cover by an amazing band. LOVE DMB. R.I.P. Leroi Moore.

[RedskinsFan4717]

I feel truly lucky to have been at this show, it was my first time seeing the band in concert and it was absolutely mindblowing!!

[dneb70]

it would be awesome to see roi's last show!

RIP Leroi!!!

[Parrotisla]

Ha ha your, right, lol. I got confused too. It was Peter Gabriel. My bad.

[OW1PRODUCTIONS]

i was at the second preformance of this and the guy next to me said this song was by peter frampton

[Parrotisla]

that's because it is.

[Seanofthedead21]

ummm.... i thought Peter Gabrielle (spelling?). Same one that did Solsbury Hill and played with the group Genesis. Peter could've written it but I doubt it...

[pinkzepqu12]

i was at this show and when i heard tim's opening riff, i immediately called the song....first time ever played.

def. one of my proudest moments as a dmb fan!

[Parrotisla]

couldn't agree more, i went ape shit when they busted this out.

[JKauzPTown]

Say good bye will never be the same again.

[JKauzPTown]

(cont)

Originally didn't care for DMB in 97, saw roanoke98 front row 1st time, blowin away since then.

LeRoi is the man. Damn those ATV I guess my dad was right, they are bad news. Hence if a tree wasn't there when I was younger, I would have fell over a 30ft cliff. Go figure. Greatest Band ever, Can't wait until June 2

[JKauzPTown]

I was there also. Great show. I really love listen for a note or two in between songs to try and guess what is next. I heard the flute and I was like, it can't be and it was. RIP Leroi! After reading things, I didn't realize he was as that much into the music as to composing it with dave. It won't be the same, but it's another chapter in DMB. I think it would be cool though if they had a ray of light now in his position on stage where he would be.

[akofoet]

This was a great show! Hot as Hades but still great!

[nancejack11]

I was at that concert!!!!! I sat on the front on the lawn!! I was wearing a DMB shirt! I was on vacation at VA!! What a trip I'll never forget!!!!!! Great Setlist!!!!! RIP LeRoi

[1sprinkler]

Why couldnt leroi have done something else that day instead of riding that DAMN ATV!!!!!!!

[Parrotisla]

I wonder the same thing

[tmoore4075]

This show will be the next DMB Live Trax. Great that they are releasing his last show. Miss you Roi!

[wagossva1206]

I was at that concert! It was the most amazing experience of my life! The band was incredible (accompanied by Tim Reynalds), I was lucky enough to see LeRoi's final performance. God Bless!

[jzzbss5]

I like it when bands play covers, note for note instead of trying to make it "their own". Well done DMB!

[DoinkTheClown]

It's pretty close, but they jam it out a lot more than the original (especially the outro and Tim's guitar solo).

[Saxydude05]

There's so much joy in this performance, and videos like this are the best way to remember LeRoi. Rest easy, LeRoi.

[Seanyboy52692]

so powerfull, a great cover

[tomswain56]

People could probably argue all day over whether this or the original by Gabriel is better, but for me personally, I like the DMB cover more!

[bizzwhit]

I seen him June 13th at DTE music theatre in MI and then July 5th (Rothbury Music Festival)I saw DMB without him. and then I read the news of him dieing in August today. Damn, he will definantly be missed.

[Oz101387]

I was at this concert...one of the best shows that Ive seen from them. RIP Leroi

[marginalcreatures]

thats one of the most ridiculous stages in the world....

rip leroi

[KaiYami1]

I wish I could have gone to this show. I saw him and the band at the Nissan back in 2002 or so when Dave did a cover of Ring of Fire which was after Johnny Cash passed away.

Great concert, and LeRoi was excellent as always. He will be missed. He even sounded great when they were rehearsing. I will never forget that.

[Bears9Gould]

LeRoi last song he ever played was Thank You and I must say it be more so the other way thank you for the wonderful sounds from him.

I miss LeRoi already, he was amzing.

rest in peace LeRoi

[harpman22]

AGGGGHHHH!!! I'm going to miss LeRoi So much. He was the sax player that inspired me to keep playing my bari-sax. He was an integral part of DMB. We all lost a great sax player and heaven just got another one. Thanks for posting this great clip!!

[420TheDudeAbides]

RIP Roi...Miss ya Big Man.

BTW...This cover might be better than the original.I saw DMB last month here in Denver & they played this song.Unfortunately i didnt have LeRoi @ my show. :(

[jmuduke99]

Better?  Agreed!!!

[jmuduke99]

Anytime Leroi blew on that alto sax I got chills.

[trepvox]

@jmuduke99 It's a bari sax man. I get chills every time LeRoi plays his bari or tenor too personally.

[zapzan]

I saw the show right after this one. I can't believe i missed seeing Leroi! R.I.P.

[musiclover1223]

Great performance! I just cant beleive he will never be standing up on that stage again. His music was a good friend to all of us and it will live on forever!! Thank you Roi!!! You touched millions of people and so, you deserve to be in the company of God.

[magicman9707]

rest easy Roi.

[ndelc]

RIP Leroi. We'll miss you.

[zkusa]

RIP LeRoi, May your nice house in the sky have central heating!

[Ladybird41]

Great Video! I sure hope LeRoi had fun that night!!

[manders327]

Great vid. RIP Roi :-(

[mthhurley]

Rest in Peace Roi....You'll be missed.

[artsyteach]

leroi's last show. :<

[TheLassekCenter]

change "DMB" in title to Dave Matthews Band - You'll get more traffic. Clean shot - Better sounding than others on youtube.

[gurlammy2616]

I was there! Pretty awesome cover. <3
