This cache is placed to Remember LeRoi Moore who passed away on 08-19-08 from complications sustained from an ATV accident. This cache is placed accross the street from the Va Beach Amphitheater. Cache is a small ammo can stocked full of tradeable items. FTF and 2nd to Find prizes are the full concert from the Dave Mattews Band at the Virginia Beach Amphitheater 08-17-2007. This was the last time LeRoi Moore played in Virginia Beach!
Dave Matthews Band saxophone player LeRoi Moore, one of the group's founding members and a key part of its eclectic jazz-infused sound, died Tuesday from sudden complications stemming from injuries he sustained in an all-terrain vehicle accident in June. He was 46.
On June 30, Moore crashed his ATV on his farm outside Charlottesville, Va., but was discharged and returned to his Los Angeles home to begin physical therapy. Complications forced him back to the hospital on July 17, the band said.
Moore, who wore dark sunglasses at the bands' many live concerts, had classical training but said jazz was his main musical influence, according to a biography on the band's Web site.
"But at this stage I don't really consider myself a jazz musician," Moore said in the biography. Playing with the Dave Matthews Band was "almost better than a jazz gig," he said. "I have plenty of space to improvise, to try new ideas."
Lead singer Dave Matthews credited Moore with arranging many of his songs, which combine Cajun fiddle-playing, African-influenced rhythms and Matthews' playful but haunting voice.
The band formed in 1991 in Charlottesville, Va., when Matthews was working as a bartender. He gave a demo tape of his songs to Moore, who liked what he heard and recruited his friend and fellow jazzman Carter Beauford to play drums, and other musicians.
Loving Wings
My heart was made of broken bones
My Soul's a bag of stick and stone
And out along this dusty road
You have come my love to take me home
So take your place here next to me
And I'll take my place there next to thee
And no matter how far we may roam
Its by your side I make my home
I give to you my everything
You've given me these loving wings
And angels have all gathered round
to hear me sing my love out loud
