[Andreaslillfreakact]

It makes me cry each time I watch how when LeRoi starts to play the whole crowd starts to chear.

[jonob600]

ahw man i actually feel the world is a less fulfilled place without this beautiful musician, his licks are just so transcending they make the world a lot less scary place at times sorely missed

[shirkmaster13]

atta boy grux

[clymbhigh7]

Celebrate we will, because life is short but sweet for certain. Music never dies my friend, thank you for what you shared.

[Squeege85]

I remember getting to hear Leroi in his glory at RFK back when I was 16. That pennywhistle was the most haunting and beautiful sound I'd ever heard. It struck the place dead quiet like everybody was just drawn in to him. RIP Leroi there will never be another as great as you. I'm priveleged to have that experience.

[guardbear]

still makes me tear up...

[somaplay]

[onlynamenottaken1]

Beautiful.........nice to hear that. AMAZING!!!!

[stateradio017]

listen to my video responses, leroi has a beautiful solo on the second vid

[Greydjinn]

Leroi...the man in the shadows...a powerful presence...a remarkable member always...when I hear bartender it tears me up inside. Some musicians just move you so much. To think, the man spoke very little but you could just feel he was at the very heart of this band. Bless his family, rest his soul, peace to DMB as they carry on his eternal memory. one love....

[djl5555]

Well Said!

[teamCTlax]

roi dont worry ur still remembered and loved by everyone...

RIP roi

[BlueDivaSoul]

I'm STILL outdone over his death. May he eternally rest in peace.

[gtcu17]

naw, he actually died last summer... so congrats, asshole.

[live8dmb]

No more summer days behind the shades, behind your eyes is my paradise... I love you Roi...

[dkaibetony]

God geting some good tunes. DMB forever

[Slim8279]

[Atrain1828]

[gtcu17]

apparently when Dave was a bartender in Charlottesville, VA, Leroi came in and was a little tipsy and Dave kinda haggled him a bit but then Roi played, according to Dave, "the most beautiful rendition of 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' I have ever heard", and said that it was in part what inspired him to start up DMB

[Benchingko25]

lildrizzle

Search here on youtube. this is the title

"Dave Matthews says goodbye to Leroi Moore - Staples Center 8/19/08"

Hope this could help. We will miss Leroi moore. Rest Now brother

[BERNZIE41]

rip roi<3

[perlandsson1]

ummmm wow

[pOpNfrEsH017]

Stage Left!! RIP Roi you touched so many lives with your music and you will never be forgotten

[mk80824]

thats beautiful. rip roi

[chasingthemoon]

I wish I could send this in to them, it would really mean so much to dedicate it in memory of him. I dunno just wrote this in mind.

[Dave's soothing voice] LeRoi Moore

Nineteen sixty-one to two thousand eight,

What a beautiful angel with saxaphone

Playin' solo as the whole--

Whole world watched him play his soul out on stage

Birds can still hear him on a peaceful, rainy day...

And somewhere, over that rainbow [Dave's voice building up] we'll see him play again

[Chrous] Gravedigger...

[movieman983]

wow thats great

if dave would sing that it would probably be one of the most emotional moments of the bands history

send it to him

[chasingthemoon]

I did on myspace... I wasnt sure where else to send it but even if they read it, I hope they do, it'll mean a lot to all of us.

[underthedreamingtree]

WOW !!!!!! That is BEAUTIFUL.

[chasingthemoon]

Thank you both. Did it for Roi, means a lot because I can never get what I feel out in words, especially about others. So he helped me get this out in spirit <3

[HarrrietTubman]

honestly man, that gave me the chills, straight up.

respect.

[chasingthemoon]

Thank you very much, really hope the band gets this to see how much they all mean to us.

I also think, in all respect, Roi's not resting in peace but still playing his heart out. So instead of R.I.P. I think it should be P.I.R. (Play it, Roi).

[Seanyboy52692]

Nice, what beautiful music

[carissa41dmb]

"It's always easier to leave than to be left" DJM

RIP LeRoi heavens horns sound much better now. You will forever be missed. The sound will never be the same.

[stonesfan94]

R.I.P. LeRoi. When you played this song, you made everyone's heart smile. We miss you.

[chipperw31]

The heaven's are going to be a better place with the sweet sound of Roi playing his music.

[CMonkey92]

heaven needed a horn section

[dmbdreamgirl22]

that is quite possibly the sweetest thing i've heard someone say about LeRoi.

[420TheDudeAbides]

PERFECT

Luv Ya Forever Roi

[leahcim3360]

New line for Grave Digger...

"LeRoi Moore 1961-2008 made the whole world soar with his talent. "

gone too soon

Rest In Peace Our Beloved Beautiful Brother LeRoi..

Thank you for the MUSIC & the JOY....!

[jeezlouise13]

When I think of LeRoi, I always think of Somewhere over the Rainbow. DMB means so much to me, and to my mom and I, and to know that he isn't with us breaks my heart in ways that any guy at my high school couldn't even compare to. I think I speak for everyone when I say that we will miss him like we'd miss a close friend.

[bds192]

i couldn't have said that better.

[courtkneeram]

So so sad. What an incredible talent. I loved when he did this on Lover Lay Down. I got to see it live twice. I am heartbroken that it won't be the same.

[kastmaster11]

Im hurting without you, Moore. But thanks for doing what you did so well

[andybeerboobs]

I think a Moby song puts it perfectly into words...why does my heart feel so bad?...This feels like a dream, my heart hurts so bad, it's hard to listen to DMB right now.

[biomorfo]

thank you so much for posting this!!!! RIP LeRoi

[TSBE]

This is sad... I just heard he past away, ALWAYS LEROY MOORE !! GOD OF SAXOPHONE

[schicchi1390]

non ti scorderemo mai

[awbraunstein]

rest in peace LeRoi

[billymullarky]

so beautiful. thanks.
