Hope you guys got to see this one, if not, enjoy! not only was I at this show, this is still the best DMB show i have ever seen. first time i heard 'warehouse' live when the sun was still up. during the 'sweet emotion' intro we were looking at each like 'what it this'? my one buddy said, almost in time with the band, "think this is sweet emotion", and then BAM "SWEEEEEEET EEEEMOOOOOOTTIIIIOOOONN". i was also hoping to hear 'Halloween', and the way they transitioned from the 'ants marching' intro into halloween, and then back into ants marching...jesus christ! ants marching is a beast on this, too. on the CD i always thought the first horn solo was both guys, its just jeff coffin by himself. glad i have the cd and video now! ending with 'thank you' was perfect. my buddy still has the video of us leaving and everyone singing the chorus to 'thank you' while we left.
side note: my sis in law asked us to get our favorite record for my nieces 18th bday b/c she's getting her a record player. i can't pick a dmb album, so I'm getting her OK Computer on vinyl and giving her a CD of Listener Supported. Listener Supported was probably the CD i listened to the most when I was her age, so this is a big deal. it's so cool she loves music the way I do.

I can't imagine it's that difficult to find somebody who could play the parts even if they couldn't match the spirit that he brought to the band.

DMB is pretty clandestine in regard to everything in their camp. Other than a statement separating themselves from Boyd's allegations and officially stating that he is no longer a member of the band I don't believe the situation has really been mentioned.
Boyd was also far from a stellar violin player in the live setting, perhaps the welcome respite just stuck.
