I'm not a big DMB fan, but I have a few friends that are such big fans they travel all over the place to go see them. They're feeling the same way. Not quite like having a family member die, but close. The whole thing is really sad.
Thanks for posting the full thread on this...I’m just in shock. I knew about the accident the day it happened, but I think we all expected LeRoi to get better...he was on his way. What a wonderful talent we’ve lost. Props to DMB for playing last night...the show must go on and all that...but it won’t quite be the same. My sons and I have traveled all over to see them and have, all together, racked up more than 50 shows. Yes, their politics aside (cancelled four old Warehouse memberships over it,agggh), DMB was something that, as a family, we have, over the years, from state to state, traveled and enjoy together.
LeRoi didn’t always appear in the band’s music videos, but this classic, with the surprise of LeRoi smiling at the very end, always made me smile too. RIP LeRoi.
So Much To Say
