that's way too fucking young to die dammit :(

I've listened to Bartender a few times today, gave me the major chills.

Almost every DMB song I listened to today gave me chills......it's like Roi's parts stood out a little more & every lyric could be applied to what's going on.

Another one? Damn looks like your the official DMB info guy. Still listening to DMB in honor of them. I wanted to see them for quite some time but never got around to it. I hope my chances aren't ruined now.

Favorite Roi moment was sitting about 15 feet from him at Target Center in '05 and watching him all night. He was never overly comfortable being on stage. When he wasn't playing or backing vocals, he was practically hiding off stage.

I have a feeling the rest of the tour will be a celebration for Leroi. I saw them in Houston this past Friday. Now I wish I could catch another show this year, to celebrate and to pay tribute.

Great setlist. i am really surprised they played Gravedigger though. I heard that Dave said that Roi didn't like #41 haha. How was the vibe last night? BTW the recording of the first night is up on Dreamingtree.

before gravedigger, dave said that he writes songs about death but really they;re about living....something like that...i just woke up and am quite groggy

hehehehe....yet dave said roi HATED 41 :eek:

the vibe was great....at least around me and from what i could see of the crowd, it wasn't the typical "we're too cool to be here" la crowd.....everyone was singing and dancing....all for roi

thanks for the info on the boot...weird as this might sound, i think dmb needs to make the last 2 nights a live trax....everyone should be able to be part of what happened the last 2 mights

Good to hear that. This may sound crazy, but his death made me want to see them live even more.

just wanted to say, thank you for all the love the board has been showing for LeRoi and DMB. These two bands mean the world to me and LeRoi's death has def set me back. Listening to #34 and Bartender and really every song has given me chills and the fact that we will never hear these songs played again with LeRoi's love.

Also, nice to come here and on the DMB boards and read others reactions etc..most of my friends just dont get it and think I am crazy, so its nice to have a place were there is understanding..

Can't wait to see the boys in Sept at MSG, that is if they continue with tour..

I haven't stopped listening to them since I heard... noticing now more than ever how much a part of each song he was. I'm kicking myself for not seeing them this summer.

They're playing Farm Aid in Mansfield in September, but it appears to be sold out.

cutback, thanks again for posting about your experiences at the last two shows - it helps, somehow. I just d/l the first show and can't wait to listen to it. Or not. I don't know.

PJ & Bompton

and for a random fact...last night John Mayer said a few words and played some of #34 and Lover Lay Down in tribut of Roi...
