what a loss :(</p>

<p>I had no idea that he wasn’t making a full recovery.</p>

<p>So sad.</p>

<p>I’m still in shock. I have no idea how the band is managing to play on tonight. Good night, sax man. That Spoon you linked is one of his best…he was always a quiet presence on stage, but solos like that and Seek Up 7.30.01 will always be inspirational and powerful to me.</p>

<p>this brought tears to my eyes
[A Tribute to LeRoi Moore (1961-2008)](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxjCWhmi6Ck&watch_response”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxjCWhmi6Ck&watch_response&lt;/a&gt;)</p>

<p>I was at the concert last night at Staples Center. Dave announced to the crowd after the first song. Put a damper on the concert. Felt like Dave and the rest of the band were out of synch. Could not blame them for their sadness. Dave told a funny story about Roi being drunk back in Virginia. New guy on Sax was good but was no Roi. Rashawn Ross on trumpet looked especially sad as I am sure he was close with Roi.</p>
