Live Trax 14: LeRoi's Final Show
Posted by Joe Maliszeski in Live Releases at 7:55pm on Thursday, Jan 29th, 2009
Today marks 7 months since we last were treated to a Dave Matthews Band concert by the late virtuoso
LeRoi Moore. His presence is missed daily by the
continued messages left for him in the forums. To many it still takes some adjusting seeing the new photos of the band without him and we look forward to his previously
recorded contributions we have yet to hear that may make the new album. From the looks of it, that last show of LeRoi’s will be the next Live Trax release, #14
Nissan Pavilion, Bristow, VA - 06.28.08. No one was exactly sure what would happen to the Live Trax series since the
release of the DMBLive Series and related download website. This release is the 3rd consecutive 2008 release
(1)(2) but I don’t think many fans are thinking about that when it comes to this historical show. The show contained quite a mix of music. It was the debut of
Sledgehammer and also features the return of
The Space Between after a 4 year hiatus. Also making 2008 live release debuts are
The Idea Of You,
Out of My Hands,
Pantala Naga Pampa/Rapunzel, and
Sister. Fan favorite (and ironically a kick butt website),
Ants Marching also appears, increasing its lead for title ‘Appearing on the Most Live Albums’.
So Damn Lucky from the show appears on the
iTunes Live Trax 2008 album.
UPDATE: The release date of the album is March 24, 2009. Proceeds from the sales will be donated by Dave Matthews Band in LeRoi's memory to the Charlottesville Music Resource Center and the Boys and Girls Club of Charlottesville-Albemarle, among other charitable organizations which best reflect LeRoi's spirit and passions. You can pre-order
here until Friday, March 20th.
