Dave Matthews Band Perform With Horn and String Sections at the Grammys
- Posted on Jan 31st 2010 10:49PM by Mike Ayers
With their first nomination for Album of the Year, the Dave Matthews Band performed 'You and Me' with a percussion ensemble, a string section augmenting violinist Boyd Tinsley and a backing choir helping Matthews. During the bridge, Matthews took time to do a rather funky dance before coming back to finish out the song. The cut was introduced by Adam Sandler, who mentioned the death of original DMB saxophonist LeRoi Moore, setting up the song as a fitting tribute to their former bandmate and friend.
The Dave Mathews Band's latest release, 'Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King,' is up against Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, the Black Eyed Peas and Beyonce.

Grammys never get anything right. Green day? Are you kidding me? If green days album was better than daves then why didn't they nominate them for album of the year. No mention of leroi last year. Messing up the name this year. I hate the grammys for being the most commercial bs calculation as to what is good. I wouldn't wipe my ass with green days last record. I didn't even know it was made until 3 weeks ago. Horrible!

Way to go Grammys...last year there is no mention of LeRoi's death and this year they can't get Groogrux right...I did, however, enjoy Dave's reaction to the mistake.
