Leroi Moore's death: One year later

LeRoi Moore died one year ago today, Aug. 19, 2008.

His death, from complications of injuries suffered in an ATV accident, shocked and saddened the entire Dave Matthews Band community. Some wondered if DMB would go on and, if so, how the loss of one of its founding members would affect the band.

One year later, LeRoi's death -- and his bandmates' commitment to keeping his legacy alive -- has fueled DMB's rejuvenation. The band's new album, Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King, is dedicated to LeRoi, and it's the band's best work in a decade. And this year's tour has drawn rave reviews from fans.

This success is a tribute to LeRoi and DMB's devotion to his memory. To honor the one-year anniversary of his death, here is the official Dave Matthews Band tribute video to LeRoi Moore:
