Encyclopedia
Live Trax Vol. 14 is a live album
by Dave Matthews Band
, and is the 14th volume in the band's Live Trax series. The album was recorded on June 28, 2008 at Nissan Pavilion
in Bristow
, Virginia
. This show is notable because it is the last concert performance by the band's founding saxophonist, LeRoi Moore
. Moore died August 19, 2008 from complications from injuries suffered in an ATV crash on June 30.
According to the band's website, proceeds from the sale of the album will be donated to charities reflecting Moore's spirit and passions including the Charlottesville Music Resource Center and the Boys and Girls Club of Charlottesville-Albemarle in Moore's memory.
Besides being LeRoi's last show, this show was memorable because of the acoustic version of The Space Between, a song that had not been played live since 2004. This was also the first show to have the Peter Gabriel
cover, Sledgehammer. The show starts out with a passionate Don't Drink the Water and ends with the Sly and the Family Stone cover Thank You. This album features a fake Jimi Thing into So Much to Say, something rarely done in live performances. Also worth mentioning from this show are the performances of The Dreaming Tree, Ants Marching, and Rapunzel, the last DMB song ever played by LeRoi Moore.
