RIP LeRoi Moore

We're sad to throw it out there, but Dave Matthews Band's resident horn player LeRoi Moore has passed away in Los Angeles, as a result of complications from an ATV accident. The band has an official statement up, and suffice it to say, everyone is a bit shocked. In the meantime, it's looking like Bela Fleck bandmember Jeff Coffin is filling in. While their output has drifted from our tastes in the past few years, DMB have created some fantastic records, and Moore will be sorely missed.

Dave Matthews Band Playing Three Nights At The Greek

We wouldn't normally cover such things, given that we tend to feel like Dave Matthews Band jumped the shark oh, in the neighborhood of 10 years ago. That being said, we couldn't really let this one slip by: we love the Greek Theater, and we love outdoor summer shows.

A general admission show at the Greek is a far cry from playing the Shoreline or Pac Bell. If it does in fact turn out to be GA (and not that Tom Petty style $150 seated tickets madness), we're thinking we might just have to indulge our inner high school persona and check it out.

Dave Matthews Band plays the Greek Theatre September 5th, 6th, and 7th - tickets are on sale March 29th.
