I'm trying to make up my mind whether or not to go.

USANA as a concert venue is a PAIN. You spend more time getting in and out of that place than you do in the concert.

It would have been cool to see Jeff Coffin, the saxophonist from Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, who has been filling in for LeRoi since his accident, and I'm sure Robert Earl Keen is great, but Dave Matthews band without LeRoi Moore is like a Big Mac without fries, you know?

I wonder what kind of a spirit the concert will have, being the first one where the band knows for sure he won't be rejoining them again.

I'm sorry for LeRoi's loved ones and fans. He'll definitely be missed.

I believe that LeRoi would have wanted not only the band, but the fans to continue enjoying their music. It should be a celebration of the life he led by embracing the music he helped produce.
