#34 LeRoi Moore Tribute (1961-2008)

[whidbey23]

"LeRoi's a really complicated person, but really loving and beautiful guy. It's so unselfish when he plays. It's so entirely not about him. In a really different way from any musician I've ever heard, he plays as if he's not there. He can blow his ass off in the loud tunes, but in the quieter ones when you can hear him whisper....that just blows my mind." - Dave Matthews

[PremiereModelLayouts]

Say there, Groogrux King would you hear me if I sing

Somewhere over the rainbow, somewhere back in Virginia

where the red dirt melts to clay in the summer rain

Said would you hear me if I sing? Mister Groogrux King

For something joined the crowd when the house lights went down

An energy I have never felt before "play it Roi, Roi"...

[Amybtru]

This is a beautiful video,thank you for making it <3

[MrBigDude26]

DMB will never be the same

[AnotherFlower]

A beautiful song, I'm sure LeRoi is playing this in heaven.

Rest in peace.

[TheWackedoutsports]

I can't understand how 3 people can dislike such a beautiful song especially when it's presented as a tribute to a fantastic musician who will be greatly missed. Just doesn't make sense.

[AnotherFlower]

@TheWackedoutsports The 3 people don't dislike the song, they dislike the fact that LeRoi isn't on Earth anymore.

<3

[niptuck117]

We deeply miss you, friend. I hope you are resting well, and bringing tears to those above with the beauty of your heavenly saxophone. We love you, LeRoi.

[shithoused17]

leroi you may be gone but i know some where your still playing and looking over the dmb smiling, RIP love you brother.

[wldfan]

What a deeply moving song. Truely miss the expressive beauty of that Sax. You are a true musician, you make ppl feel music, as other artists are just heard. Thank you for the time you were allowed to spend on this Earth.

[Crazykye321]

@Futbolis4Real not gona happen

[dan52484]

I hope he went to heaven...

[MrCopperhead1861]

That sweet sax! *cries* How can a man I've never met touched my life and soul in so many ways? You live on LeRoi!

[Russianxprodigy]

Roi and his body may be gone, but his soul never will be. He is a profound musician and person, his music will continue to be some of the best the world has ever seen, he will always be a member of DMB forever, and his memory will last forever with this song.

[Smileyfacedkiller]

Leroi was the best in dave matthews band. His music gives me so many good memories.

[Somuchtoplay]

I love you, big man. R.I.P

[kgraves3309]

2 years have passed and it doesnt get easier.RIP my friend....

[OshiLiNawa7]

Happy Birthday Roi.... You are missed just about every day still. And always will be.

[orolover613]

Wow... a friend of mine showed me this song and from the beginning i couldnt stop the tears from rolling down my face, i can feel the passion and soul that he put into the music and that is what a true musician does and it shows because this mans music is otherworldy. LeRoi, the world has been blessed by your music and we love and appreciate all your hard work and now that heaven has taken back one of its angels we can live on knowing that LeRois music is leading the heavenly choirs. RIP LeRoi..

[lurch321]

8-19-10.........two years ago today, everyone. I just cannot get my head around the fact that Leroi has been gone for two years. I need to ask everyone to take some time out of your daily routine to remember Leroi's music and legacy........that could include playing only DMB music today, only watching DMB videos on YT, saying a prayer for him and his family--I don't care, just do SOMETHING for Leroi..........it's what he would want..........R.I.P. my man.

[RantingThespian]

Lean upon me

I'll Lean upon you

We'll be ok . . .

[mseewv]

Rest in Peace dear Roi. You music will live on forever in our hearts. Forever Remembered Forever Missed!

[bitemark]

great tune. great player.

[AnotherFlower]

LeRoi is just playing for a different audience, up in heaven.

[sugarandspice4815]

I can listen to this song on loop for... ever. Back at college, it was good to have in the background for studying. You know how they say when babies listen to Mozart in utero, it makes them smarter? Well, I think this song made me smarter.

[vettes91]

this song really shows how simplicity is perfection at times. rip roi, you were truly amazing

[TalesFromOblivion]

God if you can just give us LeRoi back....We'll make a trade...u give us LeRoi back and you can have Justin Beiber

P.S LeRoi is gone, his soul isnt at least, this is because he put his soul into every song he played, and into every friend he made. Love you LeRoi, the worlds not the same with out you RIP

(Thumbs up if you feel me)

[hypemuch]

@TalesFromOblivion

amen...

[tharyjanto]

@TalesFromOblivion ...God, since we have no answer from you...how about we give you Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears and The Hilton sisters. I reckon it's a good deal. Can we have LeRoi back?

[CalliBertschy]

One of my absolute favorite instrumentals ever. It makes me feel like I'm being rocked back and forth in a grassy hammock really high up on a massive tree in the middle of nothing.

[TalesFromOblivion]

@CalliBertschy listen to this song at night on a really starry clear night and lay and look at the stars....you'll feel more like you are IN nothing.

[griffojosh1]

truely one of the greats....

[Somuchtoplay]

Jeff Coffin may be a great saxophonist, but it will never be the same without LeRoi. He played with such passion and emotion, an amazing musician. Like Dave said, we will miss him forever.

[doctorbombay]

bad ass!

[mtb416]

utter relaxation

[jfrankyfrank]

making people happy

[jfrankyfrank]

my boy leroi

[valid1977]

[RitsukaTheGentleman]

[DMBfreak40]

once was a man, forever will be a legend.

[detectivegibbles]

1 year today. RIP Grux...Always and forever your music will live on.

[INJproductions]

I'm saddened by the fact that I took LeRoi for granted all these years...I just realize he was born the same year as me...I just realized how much I miss him.

[KyronKeyblader]

This song is so relaxing. What a beautiful peice!

[chaoticpix93]

By far one of my favorite DMB songs.

[wrivard]

Anyone have a clue which show this is from? Dave shreds a little there as well. Wonderful tribute to a wonderful chap.

[dmbcubs4041]

studio

Under the Table and Dreaming

[pelle209]

the shredding is Tim

[aacookamherst]

this is a studio recording

[DMBfreak40]

this particular song is from the under the table and dreaming cd, it's a hidden track. you gotta let it play up to (what else?) #34. for a live version just youtube away!!

[JKDMartialArt]

I love this song, it's a shame they never play it these days. In ~30 shows since 1998, #34 is one of the very few songs I've never heard live (I was shocked that I heard Halloween before #34). On a more somber note, I'll always love, miss, and celebrate 'Roi, to be sure...

I was caught completely off guard at 4:02, and started to tear up and cry a bit before I was able to compose myself. I forgot how emotional 'Roi's sax parts hit me (ie the soprano sax intro to Ants Marching & parts of jam)...

[shadow6844]

faggot liar

[KillForTheAtlantic]

How his he/she lying, dumbass.

I feel the exact same way. This song really gets me quite effin' teary.

[thasnargoblin]

i know exactly what you mean on ants marching. when i put it on my ipod, i just replayed that solo over and over.

[kardzfn21]

#34 is my fav. "Leroi Song" I'll tell ya though, I was watching DMB's concert on FUSE Mon nite, "the new guy" Jeff has ALOT of talent but when they played Ants Marching it just wasn't the same w/out Roi- Boyd & Roi fed off of each other so damn well when DMB played Ants Marching while Roi was still alive it just wasn't the same? Am I saying it wasn't good? NO, it was just a different sound to the "normal" version of Ants Marching I got so use to hearing -DMB keep kickin ass & Roi R.I.P.!

[davedigr41]

RIP, brother Roi. smoothe, beautiful, and full of soul...thank you for giving it up for us to enjoy. I miss sending my love to my brother in the shades for all he has given to me.

[ssvoyager63]

The music never ends.....

[theatlantisrise]

What talent...that guy could play!

It won't be the same w/o Roi.

[chambersmackinac7]

this is the best choice of music for this video,R.I.P. Leroi

[4thshockraw]

So Beautiful. Thank You. Much Love, LM.

[SWEETWILLKINGSTON]

I always went to the shows to hear what he would play, as I had my brief affairs with Davespeak and Boyd's heavenly solos and Timmy's dizzying guitar, but Leroi and his fills and solos were what got my blood pumping.

[neenykin]

This has to be my most favorite DMB song that they have. So sad that we lost such a great talent, and so young at that. This song always tugs at my heart, and it is his soulful playing that does it.

[joaomad]

this is so sad, although it's not the first time a cry hearing dave matthews band. thank's dmb and LeRoi for all the great memories =')

[BoLatham]

Gah, the man was so full of talent.

[DMB1042]

not a day goes by where i don't listen to the inspirational music left behind by LeRoi

Rip friend

[Koe213]

Same here man his music is amazing and he'll never be replaced by anyone

[elpersival]

QEPD...leroi moore...loo maximo

[JaredB23]

I've laughed... I've cried... I listen to you every day... Thank you for filling my heart with wonder...

Love you Roi...

[strizic]

The hours I've spent with his horn in my ears..

Rest in peace, you'll live on in the unforgettable sounds you left behind.

[891high]

No one could have said it better. What a wonderful sound. I can listen for hours, its beautiful. The sax is the best thing about DMB's music. It gives it even more feeling than it already has!

[jenepaisu]

No doubt....  well said!

[JacobFCO]

@strizic I want to like your comment but it has 41 thumbs up and it's just too fitting (even if Roi hated to play #41)

[eazyefa281]

Happy Birthday Leroi!

[reggae1414]

Little did I know, when I saw Leroi at the hospital, that would be the last time I would see my friend. He was an inspiration to the music world and to his fans. He will be forever miised and in our hearts forever. I love you Roi, rest in peace.

Love from C-ville, Your friend,

[powderrider26]

LeRoi was the man. He knew every part of every dave song ever written. Without even hesitating he knew what to add an when to every moment. The DMB will not be the same know matter who fills in, an every sax player will know that they are mearly just filling in a void left by LeRoi

Rest in Peace and thanks for everything. I agree with everyone else's comments as well.

Best LeRoi Song

#41

[sammsamuels]

the guy from bella fleck and the flecktones is filling in for him he plays just as good but it will still not be the same

[DMB1042]

jeff is good, i saw leroi many times and his 3rd from last show. i have also seen jeff twice and agree that he is talented, but i dont think he will have the same skill to write the music part of the song and keep the "DMB standard"

[hartman8883]

Jeff is a liberal who wants to pretend that Obama is change but change is not from Obama but the American people being idiots and voting for a DMB loving, hemp smoking, gibee taking, guy fucking, begee listening black presidental canidatae!

[wldfan]

who does?????

[ca4Gochops]

R.I.P From Seattle

[Timthewicked]

A loss hard for both humanity and music. Keep playing!

[happy2bnappy2006]

R.I.P. Leroi!

[jrossd]

Reading the comments on this video just emphasizes to me the power of music, and especially music made by the Dave Matthews Band. We all feel a personal loss, not just sadness for someone else's loss. So, in my opinion, that should be Leroi's legacy...his ability to make music that touches peoples hearts and souls, moreso than any other musician or band. All of us DMB fans feel as though we have lost a member of our family. RIP Leroi, you have touched us all and will be greatly missed!

[EastlandsGirl]

God Bless you Leroi, your family and the band. It just won't ever be the same. Lovely tribute to you. x

[perioddical]

Reminds me of youthful dreams - Le Crew @ Virginia's with Ramona

Great music will forever suggest the memory of you. Peace.

[kidparagon]

forever man

[hitmeup1333]

one more drink please and i will leave cause we can get over you LeRoi so bartender give me one more drink to dumb my pain

[jimmydeanproductions]

i will miss the man

[TuliTheUnruly]

This one especially, brings it all back to me.

To his family, friends, and fellow Davecravers, I'm sorry for your loss.

[DMBfreak40]

LeRoi's music is embedded in my heart, and will live forever.

[forsythe4]

We will all miss you all LeRoi. Keep on playin that sax up there.

[carissa41dmb]

Simply beautiful. You did a great job. I love that song.

RIP LeRoi! Stage left forever!

[marthamoontha]

the beauty of the horn is that you do not have to open your mouth to speak words... but the sound he let out spoke volumes. my heart breaks at this loss for us all. we are fortunate to have numerous recordings to remember leroi. my prayers for his family... xoxoxo much love for a wonderful musician

[BbuckB]

Couldn´t help the tears. Nice video.

He'll be missed.

Long live DMB.

[janinemchristopher]

thanks for #34, it was perfect with the tribute to LeRoi...him not playing that sax is just sadness...

[blackfireINSANITY]

We love you LeRoi. You'll be missed.

#34 is my favorite DMB song. Great video.

[ganuenen]

leroi such a beautiful sax player!!! im sure its a sad day for most down here, but a beautiful day of sax up in heaven!! RIP LEROI u will never be forgotten :)

[Fallchild123]

Left side..strong side

[DMP3G]

HE WAS THE THIRD DEATH. HE COMPLETES THE celebrity trifecta with Isaac & Bernie. ALL 3 WERE BLACK TOO. WHAT A FUCKING SHAME.

[lingchette]

I'm glad that I saw him at least once before he died.

He's a legend, and going to be terribly missed.

:[

Great vid by the way. Nice tribute. :]

[kastmaster11]

what is Stage Left??

[nlanier]

Stage Left is and always will be Leroi Moore.

[lingchette]

Where LeRoi always played during concerts, I believe.

[wldfan]

your left hand side when lookin @ the stage. the performers right,

[ummthisuseridisgay]

I was at the Dallas show on 8/16/08, wondering where Leroi was. I grew up on DMB, and the way I preceive the world has been a reflection of what their music has been to me. I'm sad and expess, in all my heart, the condolences to the rest of the band. They gave us a family with their music, and I wish all of them my wells. RIP Leroi :(

[knightschemdry]

i actually started practacing tenor sax at 30 because Leroi inspired me. His sax solo #41 listener supported. I am 35 now. I feel his loss for sure.. i cried .. Thanks Leroi.. I know DMB won't be the same,but Jeff Coffin if he replaces him will do a great job.. He actually has workshops for high school kids in band and stuff around the counrty. Nothing will be like Leroi though i know that for sure.. Leroi RIP :(

[ragefan55]

RIP LeRoi Moore. There is not a fan in the world who is not deeply saddened by the loss of such a great musician

[yebin75]

wish i was able to see him this summer one last time

[HadleyDGRC]

The music world will never be the same. RIP

[vaportrails44]

I was hoping someone did a tribute to him with #34...always one of my faves. Thanks so much...RIP LeRoi.

[prod689]

LeRoi, Thank you for being an instrumental part of the most talented group of musicians to ever hit this planet. You will be missed deeply.

[seannn111]

LeRoi was a gem and will be greatly missed...

[adolphinspirit]

Thank you for posting this tribute.

[adolphinspirit]

I'm with you on that....went the the Gorge every year to renew my soul...I guess the Gorge will be cancelled this year....Dave will never be the same.

[fabbbster]

rest in peace<3<3<3

[candimoin]

actually he was the best horn player. like these brass instruments, he could play them ALL. I remember when i was 15 yrs old, i was watching them perfrom live somewhere, and i was shocked and amazed at the number of horns he had beside him. he'd pick up diff. ones durring the song and switch.. Amazing. May God bless his family, friends and the band. They need His healing touch

[jamie69247]

Roi I wish you could see how many peoples hearts you have touched, everybody already misses you man, YOU ARE the greatest sax player I have ever seen or heard, and im not saying that because im a huge Dave matthews band Roadie!!

Love ya 4 life

[easymooney77]

just saw them JUNE 27TH IN HERSHEY...NEVER THOUGHT THAT'D BE THE LAST TIME I'D HEAR HIM PLAY, SMILE OR JAM...TRULY SAD N AT A LOSS FOR WORDS...R.I.P MR. MOORE

[bigeyedfishee]

disbelief :( ...i will now be naming my first child after this amazing man...even if it's a girl...or at least a dog

[Chagall]

hehee I have a cat named Carter Beauford. I think it may be time to get another :)

[rickkris2]

Thank you Leroi for the sweet sounds, the smiles and the kind heart, Your sounds will live on forever not only in my hear and soul, but many many others. Thank you, and God Speed!

[mileswarm]

OOOOOOOhh no. It was last thing I expect to happen to this great Man. There´s behind the words. We have no words for that. Strenght to each member of a band.

[rodey29]

The sweet sounds of Roi on the sax are so soothing. He was so smooth and amazing.

Won't be the same without him.

[MaveJDatthews]

Thanks for the best sounds ever created LeRoi. You will be missed. Can't wait to see you on the Bandstand in the Sky.

[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....!

[imarealsavage1]

his art was truly amazing... and its like the icing on cake, so without that art being made the way it was all these years... itll never be the same... but i will always listen to it an know that he made this up... that he was one artist in, possibly the greatest band of all time... their energy is soo good, they always sell out huge concerts... in stlouis they had to have two concerts, until this year at busch stadium. its a shame, an yet i will celebrate his life, through his art... RIP LeRoi

[perlandsson1]

Weird I have seen them exactly 13 times too...I will never forget him... i want to write more but I have to turn this video off before my eyes fall out from crying..

[detective40oz]

I feel lucky to have seen him play 13 times. Hope you know the joy you brought to so many people on this earth with your music. Rest In Peace Leroi!

[zkusa]

RIP LeRoi, May your nice house in the sky have central heating and be ALLRIIGHT

[coolblueh20]

Beautiful tribute to LeRoi. When I read the news last night I was so, so sad for the band and fans that loved his playing. I for one really have and will miss his wonderful soft smooth playing.

[Melyzza30]

God Bless Him.

Now he's jammin' in heaven, looking down on all of us.

We love you, 'Roi.

[MICHELMOBA]

beautiful tribute - thank you for sharing

[Rickyzinho]

What a sad thing. Leroy was such a great musician, Have no words. RIP, we will never forget you.

[ashaffer5858]

RIP Roi

WE LOVE YOU ALWAYS

[bdoggery]

RIP Roi...It will truly never be the same without you...

[almarkl]

Nice work... thanks. It won't be the same without him.

[jerseyjovi]

Thanks for posting this absolutely beautiful tribute. RIP LeRoi <3

[FireFightingDMB41]

I Couldn't Make It Through The Whole Song... Stage Left Is Never Gonna Be The Same... R.I.P. Buddy...

[PhireJZ]

Fuck.. =(

[BrettPellicano]

I am very saddened by the loss of LeRoi Moore. He was an intregal part of one of the most amazing bands ever to be assembled. His music touched my heart and it's sad to know that the concerts will never be the same. R.I.P.

[dddrok]

Just bummer.

[elburitto101]

LeRoi Moore,

You were such a great musician. I remember I fell in love with you and DMb when I first heard "Crush" over the radio years ago.

Your talent and passion for music inspired me to learn and play the sax. I've played the alto sax ever since 1998.

Great job playing at the Rose Garden and the Gorge Amphitheatre!! We love you and will miss you forever!!!

[shadowcat7879]

Crush is what drew my interest into DMB.

This is just .. disheartening.

RIP LeRoi

[ufbrad]

he will be sorely missed as will his music
