Dave Matthews Band (love 'em or hate 'em) saxophonist LeRoi Moore died during recording of **Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King**. The band paid homage to him with the [first track](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZIYTc77-X0) of the album.

Those were the days of our lives  
The bad things in life were so few  
Those days are all gone now but one thing’s still true  
When I look and I find  
I still love you

I still love you

Freddie Mercury singing in the very last video he was able to film. When he looks right into the camera at the end, gaunt from the effects of AIDS, knowing full well this was probably it for him, and says, “I still love you”, it kills me every single time.
