LeRoi Moore, a founding member and versatile saxophonist of the Dave Matthews Band, has sadly passed away at the age of 46. I know it certainly won’t win me any points with the hipster crowd, but this has to be the worst news of the day. I’ve been a fan of DMB since receiving a bootleg cassette(!) of the group back in middle school and although their recent albums haven’t been career highlights, I still regard the band as one of my favorites.

It’s times like this I wish Boots Randolph would’ve have gotten around to writing “Yakety Taps.” Since he didn’t, I can’t think of a better way to help remember LeRoi than by sharing some of his best jams.

Feel free to leave your favorite LeRoi jams or concert memories in the comments.
