  • John Mayer stay the hell away from me!

  • R.I.P LeRoi

    <3

  • i would give so much to be there

  • rest in peace

  • how in the HELL did i not know john mayer and dmb went on a summer tour together. wtffffff. i hope this happens again.

  • @nomad2894 this was the show for virginia tech after the shooting, not a tour.

  • @nomad2894 this was the show for virginia tech after the shooting, not a tour.

  • RIP LeRoi

  • although john freaking nailed this. i wish he would have given leroi a chance to shine

  • RIP LeRoi, i loved him:)

  • leroi playing stage right...hmmm

  • He's not wearing sunglasses!

  • rexrox63, you my friend are on crack... obviously you are not a fan of mayer's, and thats perfectly fine, however in order to take credit away from him... you have to at least not sound ignorant when you talk. do me a favor and get in your car and drive to the nearest best buy and spend the $24.99 on his where the light is dvd, and then watch it. mayer does all sorts of covers, and not only plays them better than the og, he adds to them.

  • great man dmb will never be the same

  • RIP The Grougrux King

  • Roi + brass= out-of-this world sound

  • john mayer + dave matthews summer tour???

    could be the greatest thing to ever happen to music

  • that would be like 37 different kinds of awesome

  • RIP LeRoi

  • your not serious right? have you ever even witnessed john mayer play? he shreds on guitar. hes so good. been playing since he was 13 and he has the voice of an angel. no offense to you or your student but not many people are better than john mayer. he didnt get there on his looks. hes got talent.

  • mr tim reynolds smokes john mayer any day...of the week...i dont wanna hear that john mayer is one of the best...cause he really isnt...there are sooooooooooo many better guitarists...i could name 20 off the top of my head...tim reynolds, chuck berry stevie ray vaughan...eric clapton...santana...jimmi hendrix...ry cooder...jimmy page...i would name 20 but i ran out of space...JM is good but definitely not one of the best....sorry it just isnt true

  • @rexrox63 if you cant even spell JIMI's name right, then your obviously not very well mannered in the subject. Stop trolling, if you don't like John Mayer, that's fine, he has plenty of fans already.

  • @rexrox63 john mayer owns timmy on the electric

  • @Arvfor3 Timmy Reynolds? You're crazy if that's who you're talking about. Mayer's good, TR is way better, electric or acoustic.

  • @zjr326 Dont get me wrong timmy is an amazing guitar player, but... i would much rather have jon mayer or warren haynes playing with the band. There is too many times at recent DMB shows where timmy just doesent fit in the song. Not saying that about all songs. But most are too loud/distorted for the band.

  • @stratinthehat0414 I wouldn't take either over TR, but I would like to see Warren Haynes play more with them, but not Mayer - his style just doesn't fit with DMB in my opinion. I like him a lot, but not with DMB. He did do a great job at the VaTech show, but night in and night out I would take TR any day. I do agree that he can be too loud & distorted on occasion, but he's still a great fit IMO

  • @Arvfor3 agreed!

  • Compared to him, your students suck balls.

    Shut up, appreciate the talent, or gtfo.

  • two amazing and some of my favorite musicians on the same stage- incredible

    Miss your music so much Leroi

  • RIP

    Leroi and John Mayer.

  • Mayer should no hes a very lucky man!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • That picture could also have been taken at the Live At Piedmont Park DVD. He was wearing the same shirt.

  • do you all remember the "in memory of" photo of leroi? I think that this might be where that picture was taken; he is wearing the same shirt and no sunglasses.

  • did this VT show ever come out on DVD?

  • thatd be a great idea, but not that i know of

  • gitfiddler90 you clearly don't know shit about guitars or anything about how to play a guitar, take a look at some of john mayers solos, any live performance really and if you have any common sense you will understand why they call him the next jimi hendrix or clapton, get your facts straight before you speak.

  • All 3 of the people below here make me laugh. Pick up a guitar and start trying to play john mayer songs and you tell me how "un-unique" he is you dumbass.

  • Let's be honest. Mayer is good, but i know tons of guitarists who are better, and he hasn't done a single thing to stand out, or be unique and creative. Roi is just awesome. Same with Dave. Dave is a stellar poet, singer, and good guitar player. The great thing about Dave's playing is how original many of his riffs are. There are many guitarists who are more skilled, but Dave is unique, creative, and has the whole musical package.

  • I think John Mayer has stood out, he is himself, he does his own thing just the way Dave does. I don't know why you would compare them in that way and put John down. They're different people and they're both kicking ass. They're both unique and creative. Don't worry about which one is better than the other when there's no way to define it beyond opinion. lol Keep it where the light is!

  • I believe he has been able to stand out just through the multitude of genres he is able to incorporate into his music. A lot of his works are jazz inspired, blues inspired or even R&B inspired. The one thing I like about going through a CD of his, is that every song sounds completely different. Just by him going from Pop to a blues Trio he really did something that not many have done. That certainly makes him stand out. If you only listen to some of his radio hits, you may be missing out.

  • Mayer is an excellent songwriter and player. Sure there are better, but there always are. Mayer often gets categorized into the "top 40" crowd of pop stars and is discredited by that. Same could go for DMB. They are both excellent acts, and their radio singles are not representative of their catalog, live performances, or talents as artists.

    RIP Roi

  • Yeah, they are both extremely talented artists and comparing them is like comparing toyota to a honda, they are both extremely reliable and really won't let you down. I think Dave is one of the greatest song writers ever, but i really think John Mayer is coming into his own. I think Tim Reynolds is better at guitar than both of them though haha, i love tim reynolds. But anyway, they are all fantastic. And only an experienced guitar player could even attempt any of their songs.

  • RIP indeed.

  • BEST

  • RIP LeRoi

  • EPIC

  • coffin is great but we must have a brother on that sax...maybe I am reaching but it just was not the same, not the right groove. Sorry but I just wish that Roi was still standing up there with his shades on.

  • we all do, man

  • Ah. Beautiful. Leroi Moore, may your soul rest in peace

  • holy crap talk about irony! thats not funny but its so dead on.

  • "life is short but sweet for certain" R.I.P Leroi Moore

  • WOW RIP Leroi. May your nice house in the sky have central heating and be allllriight!

    Nice video TY for sharing!

  • DAMN!!!!!!! This is soooo amazing. These two musical masters groovin on this song. you've gotta respect these two men and their talents. LeRoi will live on in the music and he has left a legacy for us all to enjoy!!! He will greatly be missed

  • Master! RIP

  • If you can't respect both these artists you just can't understand good music. Thats all there is too it.

  • Wow, that is an amazing version of that song. Talented artists at work. End of story.

  • Plus John was lucky enough to not only open for Dave but be on the same stage as him. And the shit you named is off of his onyl good album, Continuum. It was actually good because it was blues. He's not as great as a writer as you think with his cock in your mouth. Great guitarist, ok writer. Nowhere near as big as Dave nor will he ever be.

  • RIP Roi! Miss u bro!

  • LeRoi Moore... Rest In Peace..

  • ytwqyeushjfdhsjjkjfhljlkashfdj­hsdjfjsadfhdsfsfksdfjshjdsjdsj­jfsjhdfjfjsj

  • :( Why why why.....

  • damn it.. gives me chills everytime..

  • RIP LeRoi. Heaven just got a lot jazzier now. Keep on playing.

  • i feel so saddened by leroi moore's death too. without him and boyd, the band wouldn't be same. i love what he adds to songs like ants marching, grey street, stay, so much to say, lover lay down, etc.

  • LeRoi we miss you!

  • i was at this show and it was fucking awesome... roi... you're the man. miss you buddy. won't be the same without you.

  • I guess heaven needed a sax player...r.i.p.....

  • yea i was at this show and it was absolutley one of the best, it was also the last show i saw roi in. Charlotte 08 was the first show on this years trip and he was injured that day! so this was the last time i saw good ol roi. PEACE BROTHER!!!!!!!

  • That's awesome, I never knew Leroi played with Mayer and his band before. Is there a clearer mix available out there where Leroi can be heard better?... I'd love to hear that. This is great though, thanks for uploading.

  • Mayer=Dave rip off. R.I.P. Leroi you legend

  • not when it comes to guitar. No contest.

  • But when it comes to song writing ability, not even close to Dave's level. Mayer is good but not a good writer at all. Dave and John are today's versions of Dylan and Clapton.

  • I totally agree with you. John Mayer is a good musician, but does not come close to Dave Matthews ability as a songwriter and guitar player.

  • Mayer is a better soloist but as a ryhthm guitarist, Dave has him beat.

  • hahahaha you have no idea what you are talking about. Please just stop it right now and quit making a fool out of yourself.

  • YOU have no idea what you're talking about.

    Songwriting, Dave > John

    Performance, Dave > John

    Solo/Guitar, John > Dave

    Intensity, Dave > John

    Singing, Dave > John Try singing and playing some dave songs. Its redic

    john is very young though so could do some amazing things. But as of now, Dave > john

  • who really cares who is better?

    there both amazing artists and i love listening to them both.

    it's not always a competition

  • hell yea

  • agreed

  • You couldn't be anymore wrong. Mayer > DMB. It's not too hard to realize.

  • You my friend are a complete fuckin' moron.

  • hai gaise i think dat DMB is a really guud song writer and geetarist he can play the same few chords in every single song

  • Mayer plays pop you flying flamer. Tell me Wonderland, No Such Thing, and any of that other gay shit is better than Crush, #41, or any of the entire DMB catalog. Hell even the album Stand Up was better than his shit.

  • okay you listed his radio songs very good job. Have you heard any of his other songs? such as neon, vultures, i don't trust myself, and who do you think i was? Just a few of his many great songs. So much harder to play than anything DMB has even written. Better lyrics, vocals, chord progression, and solos. I suggest watching a few songs from john's live DVD "Where the Light is" then you can come back and try to talk to me

  • they are completely different. Dave Matthews doesnt solo because thats not his style of music. Matthews is more of a jam band while mayer plays electric blues. Matthews work is extremely complicated, but so is Mayer's. John Mayer is more of a showy guitarist than Dave Matthews, but thats because that is the kind of music he plays. Both do amazing work. Personaly, I prefer dave matthews, but i still love John Mayer and respect them both greatly as musicians

  • no all of daves song are easy and not complicated. Any experienced musician will probably tell you the same

  • do you play tripping billies and singing at the same time ? thats a big deal

  • same could be said for dmb. watch the central park dvd and then you can come back and try to talk to me. fuckass

  • If someone comes to a leroi page and says something negative, why pay any attention?

  • RIP

  • rip roi

  • ASS

  • "It is better to leave then to be left" RIP Leroi

    We miss you!

  • you are such an asshole for saying that. leroi is one of the most amazing saxophone players to ever live. and now he has passed. and all you can do is badmouth? go to hell. it's what you deserve.

  • Who boiled your bunny? Someone's life just passed can you not show a fellow human being a bit of respect before calling them a derogatory name???

  • God Bless DMB and family.

    Your in our prayers.

    RIP LeRoi

  • RIP LeRoi.

    We'll miss you and your huge talent.

    Prayers to the family!

  • It's not that I agree with his politics either. Out of respect for a person that is no longer with us, if you have any morals at all, please don't bring that here.

  • RIP LeRoi

  • Yeah ROI! Mayer is awesome, but full of himself

  • leroi moore is the sax player for dave matthews band

  • Is Leroi the one playin The Sax? What band does he play for? That was a great song. John Mayer is so good! Good stuff for an audience shot.

  • yeahhh!!! Leroi moore!!!!

  • John Mayer has the best male voice out there today. He is an amazing guitar player too. One of my favorite musicians.

  • leroi is the man!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • yeah on the radio i heard him i was like oh sounds good but not too special but then i seen one of his live performances and i was like dude this guy is a pretty good guitar player alot of his solos and his songs are soo relaxing

  • HOLY SHIT! Mayer tore that song apart....even more so than he normally does.

  • haha john mayer is mad cocky...but hes still sick

  • i would give anything to have been able to see this

  • john mayer's way more talented than he lets off.

  • Now THIS is what I'm talking about. Why didn't he play like this during his solo on #41???

  • He was playing with the best band of all time probably a little timid

  • phenomenal.

  • man that woulda been the 2nd greatest moment of my life right there... second only to john mayer coming out to #41 later that night :-)

  • when you listen to this you cant not smile at how amazing and cool and beautiful that is

  • Gravity is a religious experience. It takes you to another level.

  • well put...this is song does take you somewhere.

  • omg that was amazing. i wish i was there!

  • I got chills and goosebumps feeling every moment of this song for this particular concert

  • this was an amazing concert <33

  • lucky bastard

  • this and I dont need no doctor were amazing as was the rest of his set in all honesty

  • Hopefully there is a longer version on this song...I was waiting for Mayer to tone it down a little for Roi to solo. I thought Roi was the guest...

  • nice john, every thing harmonically matches with the sax luv it, keep on keepin

  • Sorry for posting so much, but that's some damn good music, got damn, got damn, I freakin' can't stop listening! THANKS A LOT for posting it!!!

  • Sounds too damn good to be true! I love Gravity, but I'd like to hear a remix with him singing to this, that sound is killing it! YES, THANKS!!!

  • wow can we please say DVD RELEASE holy hell i would buy this no matter the cost.

  • Thank you so much for posting this. It brought tears to my eyes.

  • LOVE it!!!

  • O...M....G!!!!! I'm speechless so I'll just write. John Mayer is a supreme, and elite guitar player, who is to be respected. He's also a nice guy as I've met him a couple of times. Seriously....come on people, this man can PLAY and that's all there is to it!!! Whooooweeee!!!
