Best wishes for a quick recovery, Le'Roi...you are the soul of DMB Nation...!!

Personally, I was glad I got to see both DMB shows at Mansfield last week. Le'Roi and Rashawn were absolutely brilliant, as usual, especially the second night on "Jimi Thing" and "Seek Up".

Agreed! They're a phenomenal band and have always rocked Boulder and Denver Colorado when they're in this neck of the woods. Wishing a speedy recovery, LeRoi!!
