Great live, recorded, it doesn't matter! The Best! Saw him in Dallas Texas with matchbox, then live solo. Don't know which was beat, both were SO awesome!!!
@@NikoXC08 yes! I agree. If You're Gone is another favorite. Have you ever heard the acoustic version? I think it was VH1 Storytellers? Just beautiful.
@@VanessaCarrMusic awhile ago I saw an acoustic version of him performing it, and talking about the meaning of the song. Maybe that was it? That dude has gotta be a heart throb for any woman who grew up with his music 😂
Yessir, he is Amazing, n still got his words n talent to every song he sings , burning 🎵🎶🎵 on my heart 💙❤️💙 Everytime I hear em 😇 He's the most unique , angel given voice n artist out there 😜💭💯❣️
Even more impressive, this is usually the song he ends shows with! So even after everything he's poured out for 20 songs, he still has this much left in the tank for "Bright Lights"!
owe them my life. 2 years ago i went though a rough pregnancy and delivery, a few of their songs were the only way i could get kick counts and get my baby to eat. She stayed in the nicu for 3 months. now she is almost 3 and loves to dance to them
Korpse Bride I love it when your life us so connected to music!!! My dad died when I was 13, everytime i hear a certain Fleetwood Mac song, I think of him!!
Holy hell, this is an absolutely blazing performance. Rob's a superstar *_musician_* who must hail f/a distant star system given his *_live performer chops_* ... *AND* is, objectively, one of, if not *the* most accomplished *_songwriters_* of this genre. Ever.
This song is dedicated 2 my beautiful brother & sister-in-law died recently from an Fentanyl overdose...I miss my beautiful brother & sister in law...✌❤🌎
I saw them last weekend and am still in awe. still find myself with music from that night bouncing around in my head. I have listened to them since I can remember listening to music as a youngin. Long Day was the first song I heard from them and its been game over since. This, over the years, has become one of my all time favorites, not just by them but in general and let me tell you, they did not disappoint on any song. blessed to have witnessed them live.
Seriously, Matchbox 20 is one of the most best sounding band in live performance. Watching them live was just like listening to the studio version. Greatest band ever.
I swear I'm addicted to this song & video! Idk how many times I have watched! Over 300x in the last couple months 🤦🏻♀️😜 it is perfect! Rob is fucking epic! ✨🌟
One of my favorite songs by these guys. I was friends with Robs mom, Mamie. She was a hoot. I met Rob once and unfortunately it was at her funeral. Very nice and humble guy.
When in an interview, Rob said this was his favorite song to preform live. I see why. Such charisma. I absolutely love this band, but most importantly Rob. Thank you for getting me through the loss of my dad - - keep up the good work.
My and I daughter seen this great band back when daughter was in 8th grade , this was her concert at palace in Auburn hills Michigan, she is now 32 years old and we both love listening..... thank you
Loved this song when I was on the road. It kept me motivated to do my job and get back to my fiance. Years pass and my then fiance is now my wife. She sat by my side while I was in a coma. Waking from that slumber was the worst day of my life. Fought a funky depression for weeks. This song motivated me in rehab to walk again. Love this freaking song
One of the best lyrics ever: "Some things in this world -- man, they don't make sense...some things you don't need until they leave you -- then they're things that you miss"!
I have a chronic kidney disease which limits my activities. This band their music helps to fill my days with smiles and good vibes. Seeing them perform is on my bucket list
I saw them 1999 in a small venue but had never heard him alone with his piano until that night and I was just blown away.i liked Matchbox 20 before that but hearing him alone with his piano changed life as I knew it lol I fell in love with him as a musician and his true talent.Bright Lights will always be my favorite Matchbox 20 song
I absolutely love Rob Thomas voice. He sounds so true in this video. I hope to see more of you singing in 2023 and 2024. Thank you for a great performance. ❤❤❤❤❤
This one and others from matchbox 20 were definitely a reminder as you tough through breakups. Looking back, I've got so many scares now, but I never lost my ability to love. This world has away of changing you, don't let it. At least not in a negative way!!!
It's crazy how there is a song for every part of everyone's life. Depending on the mood. Some great, some good, some bad. Tequila time anyone else. 2024!!!!
I raised my two daughters on classic rock. They in repayment, turned me on to new music,(to me), like MB20, Seether, 3 Doors Down, etc.. Nice ! The measure of any musician is his / her ability to perform live… no AutoTune, no ProTools… can you sing and play? Rob can do both! And, the band was all in as well… tearing’ it up!
Bloody love Rob. Always puts an incredible amount of energy into his performances. Awesome musician and song writer. Hands down my favourite song of his and matchbox 20’s
Saw them in the 80s at the Mullen center in Amherst Mass. They were amazing. Still love them and mourn the loss of the great. In live they had a horn section that was kick ass and I inever saw a show that sounded so much like cd live. Amazing!!!!!!! I'll always listen.
I've want to thank Rob and MB20 for helping me thru one of the hardest thing in my life I've been going through! I can get lost in all of their performances and forget the issues of my life right now! Love You Guys!

Rob Thomas is one of the greatest live artists of all time
Word.
I love him
Great live, recorded, it doesn't matter! The Best! Saw him in Dallas Texas with matchbox, then live solo. Don't know which was beat, both were SO awesome!!!
It's real talent when they sound great live!
Ikr..you could play this an the album side by side and it wouldn't miss a beat.
In my opinion, this is the BEST Matchbox Twenty song.
3am and Real World are great, and never fail to get me going. But, “Bright Lights” and “If You’re Gone” hit me on another level
@@NikoXC08 yes! I agree. If You're Gone is another favorite. Have you ever heard the acoustic version? I think it was VH1 Storytellers? Just beautiful.

@@NikoXC08 haha. True! That could have been it. I am seeing them all together in June. I am looking forward to it!
❤
ROB!!! THIS SONG!!! The piano. The singing. The guitar. The drumming. The bass. The band. The total performance
🔥✨FREAKIN EXCEPTIONAL!!!✨🔥
And the live version being as good as the album version?? Fantastic!!!
Ueep
🔥🔥🔥🔥

Rob Thomas is one of the best singers of my generation he sounds just as good live. Hopefully he will get a hall of fame induction one day
I'm 99 years old, this is one of the most beautiful song I've ever heard! Matchbox 20 ROCKS.
What? That is the coolest post I’ve ever seen. I think you ROCK!❤
@@pepsiyummie1😢hu
Congratulations on 99 and having great taste in music ❤
You know what you know, rock out you✌️🤘
@@TheRambler liar
I had the biggest crush on him (back in the day) & still do.
In my opinion…the greatest Matchbox Twenty song ever.
So true. To me, it’s one of the greatest songs of the 2000’s, period. it really is under appreciated.
My favorite too, saw them March 2023 in Vancouver they closed with it.
Over time, this song has grown to be one of my favorite songs overall period. Definitely their best to me at least.
Kody
Two decades ago Bright Lights hit the music scene! Matchbox 20 really ruled with music like that!
Great performance. Back in the days when MTV was worth watching.
Yell man! Some one just had to
Really messed that all up!
He's one of those artist who sounds ever better live!!
Hi do know what year this concert was ?
He puts so much emotion in every song...he means what he says. Love him so much!
💯 %
Even more impressive, this is usually the song he ends shows with! So even after everything he's poured out for 20 songs, he still has this much left in the tank for "Bright Lights"!
He really does he is so Intense
One of the best "live" performances I have seen. And I am 67.
Rob's piano composition skills and live playing singing with so much intensity is damn impressive.
Nice* well put#
Rob Thomas is a musical god. One of my favorite songs
owe them my life. 2 years ago i went though a rough pregnancy and delivery, a few of their songs were the only way i could get kick counts and get my baby to eat. She stayed in the nicu for 3 months. now she is almost 3 and loves to dance to them
Thats an amazing story. Hope all is well with your daughter.
👏
Korpse Bride I love it when your life us so connected to music!!! My dad died when I was 13, everytime i hear a certain Fleetwood Mac song, I think of him!!
MB20 always helps through the tougher times , 3am acoustic on piano just rob is one of the best will take ur heart anywhere
That's awesome . So happy for you two.
This performance of Rob thomas is showcase of his immense raw talent of performing live and kicking asses !

Rob Thomas is very underrated
I don’t agree. I think most people know what a star he is!
They kinda saved my life... Went through some very troubled times but their songs helped me through them
Y esp. Back to good.
Same
Seriously, Matchbox 20 is one of the most best sounding band in live performance. Watching them live was just like listening to the studio version. Greatest band ever.
They sound as they are because nothing fake added in, their naturals.. there are very few..
Fuckin incredible performance. There’s a reason they were mega stars in their prime. So many hits.
Me!!! Saw them about 2005 in Phoenix today is Dec7, 2024. Amazing Concert.
I swear I'm addicted to this song & video! Idk how many times I have watched! Over 300x in the last couple months 🤦🏻♀️😜 it is perfect! Rob is fucking epic! ✨🌟

Hey "kids nowadays" this is what you call a live concert. No autotunes,no shit phones flashing. God i miss these stuffs!
Perfectly worded.
I love your voice I'd love even more yo see you in concert
Frampton doesn't allow cell phone use during shows. Wish more performers banned them.

Rob’s songs helped me get through many dark relationship days in my 20’s… one emotion is still stuck in Mesa, AZ. Miss her…

Best song ever…
When watching Matchbox 20 you feel them.....no higher musical compliment can be paid.....
Rob Thomas I think he sings straight from his heart my all time favorite song is Hand Me Down. And he is sexy as hell
I saw him in concert last night and he was amazing. I would definitely go see him again.
One of the best lyrics ever: "Some things in this world -- man, they don't make sense...some things you don't need until they leave you -- then they're things that you miss"!
Yes. You take them for granted till they are gone.
But sometimes that is the best outcome.
Saw them in early 2000's. Amazing. This man is so talented. ❤
When the wife got together we listened to matchbox 20 it's been close to 21 years these songs bring me back. To the earlier days.
This man is a performer. I’ve seen him live servers times over the past ~20 years. The man works. He never sells you short.
Saw them in Concert,,, They fukken ROCK!!!!
Someone should really recognize this bands talent and amazing lyrics
Don't know about Sept but am here 11/2/24 oh hell yeah ...
It's a very rare talent to sound as good or better live as you do in the studio.
