Six days after going on with the show the night of LeRoi Moore’s death, Dave Matthews Band announced today that they are postponing tonight’s scheduled show in Sacramento and Wednesday night’s show outside Salt Lake City. In LeRoi Moore’s Daily Progress obituary today, Moore’s family announced there would be a public visitation tomorrow at First Baptist Chuch on Park Street from noon to 5pm and a funeral there at 11am Wednesday. The band will resume its tour with a three-night stand at the Gorge Amphitheater in Washington State beginning Friday.

Well, it’s about time they did something like this. Too often the show just goes on with the explanation, “well, he would have wanted it this way.” Would he really?
I see that the obituary already has 594 comments/remembrances.
