MarcO Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 An Important Announcement From DMB06/30/2008LeRoi Moore was injured today in an ATV accident on his farm outside Charlottesville, Virginia. LeRoi was immediately transported to the University of Virginia Health System for treatment where he remains in serious condition. Please join us all in wishing LeRoi a speedy and complete recovery. Beginning tomorrow in Charlotte, NC, Béla Fleck and the Flecktones saxophonist, Jeff Coffin, will be sitting in with Dave Matthews Band while LeRoi recovers.http://www.dmband.com/news/view/921d9267971ff4f725d1fd9c00e0c302Saw the show in Toronto a couple of weeks ago. Hey, not the all-time greatest DMB show I've seen but Leroi was on his game all night, notably so. Wishing him a speedy recovery.Tim Reynolds was awesome all night too.

Hartamophone Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Serious condition? Wow, that's really bad news. When I first heard about this I assumed that it was strictly and orthopedic injury. It will be cool to see Jeff Coffin play with them at Rothbury, although like skelter said I wish it was under different circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimmyB Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Tonight I saw Bob Dylan close his set with "All Along the Watchtower" and then I came home to find out that Leroi Moore has passed away. It is not like Dylan doesn't close with "Watchtower" most nights, that said it seems fitting in retrospect that he did so tonight. Rest in peace Leroi, you will be missed.Peace and Love,Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancingbear Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 r.i.p. thanks for the music. oplease when riding ATV's wear helmets, dont ride doubles, and do not put you kid on one until they are sixteen. working on the rock--ATV's are part of the 'culture' and i've seen way too many kids with serious life-altering injuries.

Kanada Kev Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 This is really too bad. I had the opportunity of meeting him once. Back in '95 at a festival in Switzerland. We talked for about half an hour. Really nice guy. We'll miss you Leroi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartamophone Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Such a shame, and made even worse by the fact that he initially seemed to be doing alright. That said, at Rothbury when Dave mentioned Leroi's absence and said that he'd be back soon, I pointed out to my girlfriend that the look in Dave's eyes told a completely different story.You'll be missed on stage left, big man. Rest peacefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
