I was lost and strung out on drugs and my sis started singing this song to me and I turned my life around. Thanks for all your awesome work. It saved my life!
That voice, that smile, the feeling you get when you hear robs voice is transcending. SO blessed he was born in our time so we can enjoy his talent and gift. Love Rob, Lobe MB20
I'm a classic rock guy from the 70s and 80s but some big time talented singer-songwriters came out of the 90s. Rob Thomas , Steven Jenkins, Noel Gallagher , John Rzeznik , Billy Joe , Chris Robinson & Dave Grohl. This performance is all time !
imo they are one of those few bands that sounds great in LIVE performances.. im 29 and thankful i grew up with this kind of music.. simply one of my favorite band ever! still gives me goosebumps..
Everything about this song and performance is why I love rock n roll. When a group of people can get together and jam like this and it makes me want to stand up and move, that's why I love rock n roll. Excellent jam.
I met Rob Thomas at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, GA, on September 30, 2009. He is such a warm Soul. Matchbox Twenty came out halfway thru the concert and performed with Rob. It was one of the most amazing days of my life. To meet , touch, and talk to such a legend is an out of body experience.
he has never received the credit he so rightly deserved. but then when the crowds show up for his concerts, it speaks for itself. matchbox 20 was my children's first concert. my daughter was in 5th grade, son, 3rd grade. daughter loved it. son not so much. last year though he called me all excited. for a wedding present they were going to see Rob Thomas. he knew I would join in his excitement. as he explained to friends and his wife he grew up with Mom always playing and talking about Rob Thomas. he loved that concert!
rob Thomas is so powerful and inspirational the band is remarkable amazing. this is forever my favorite band. they put so much pride and effort into there performance every show. They are wonderful . They deserve there fame. I went to there concert might I say I was blown away. thank you so much!
Ah the good old days when live shows were further evidence of actual talent rather than autotune pieces of crap. Saw these guys in Atlanta back in the day and I was so impressed with their live music. Amazing!!
I feel so privileged to have seen this band live...I took my friend who had never even heard of MB20 and she was blown away, even though she didn't know any of the songs....they are FREAKING AMAZING LIVE.
My best friend played and sang this to me. He changed some of the words around though because I moved to Las Vegas, not New York. I'm not close with my family and he was seriously the only reason why I might have decided not to leave. This song let me know that he's always gonna be there for me no matter how far I am, no matter if things don't work out for me here in these "bright lights"....
Matchbox Twenty is timeless! I have been a fan since the beginning of their career and I will be fan till the end. All of their songs speak to me and make me feel! They are my most favorite band! They evolve and change with the times but never lose the soul of their music!
I saw them with my daughter once a couple of years ago. Then they're coming back with the Counting Crows this summer right after my birthday and I'm taking my oldest son and daughter with me. We really can't wait; they put on an amazing show and just being there is going to be fantastic. Memories will be made that night!
My mom used to play matchbox 20 all the time when i was a kid, and we would always listen to the albums on repeat on our road trips to Chicago (ive got a lot of family there) and now i can't drive through downtown Chicago without this song playing.
Epic version of this song, Kyle Cook you rocked that guitar!!!! The whole band was phenomenal...love you guys, been listening to ya'll since your first single. I never get tired of listening to your music. Keep it coming!
Oh my God..Matchbox Twenty & Rob Thomas Always tend to give me chills and take my breath away for sure,.Its ALL i want in this world,To see them in concert. I LOVE Robert Kelly Thomas. ♥
Miss Davis, I do agree one of the best voices, but the best and I do mean the best voice out there is is Andy Hull from the band Manchester Orchestra, the song STONES is mind blowing, as well as THE GROCERY, give them a listen I promise you it will bring you to an awarness you will feel, You will soon be looking up songs from him that make you wonder what your really doing here, Try WHEN I MET DEATH from Andy Hull on the right away great captain forum, you will thank me, good day
I totally agree. You are so right! I have felt that way for 20 years now. A special memory that was fun at the time and became a big part of my life story later.
Rob Thomas is one of the best, pure singer-songwriters I've seen since John and Paul. In a time when the true singer-songwriter is a rarity, Rob's light shines quite bright.
ROB THOMAS IS NOT ONLY MY FAVORITE SINGER BUT I THINK HE IS THE BEST SINGER BECAUSE HE SOUNDS EVEN BETTER LIVE THEN HE DOES ON A RECORD AND THERES NOT MANY SINGERS WHO CAN DO THAT.. ONLY A SHORT FEW AND HES ONE OF THEM
This is the third live performance I’m watching, because I am shocked that he sounds EXACTLY the same as the studio version. I was convinced this was lip syncing. It’s not! One of my favorites. ~
I feel ashamed that I have never really taken any notice of this band. I am 71 years old and now a true fan for the rest of my life. Sixty minutes show last night got me interested. Thank you sixty minutes
It's December 2018 I listen to this almost everyday it never gets old I can feel Rob when he sings I love it.made my whole day better .now on to next year 2019
Well, aside from the cheering maybe, but if you took that out and released this alongside the album version, I'd easily say this was better, but then I loath song fade outs.
I think, one of the most underrated rock bands ever, Rob Thomas is a true talent.
They don’t make music like this anymore. Pure emotion
New Matchbox album this summer!
This is so fantastic !
Damn Straight! Why is the question.
Listening to this song in 2023 still sounds so fresh and evergreen forever.This live version is just WOW.
Live from Phillips Arena Atlanta 2003. I was there,absolutely live perfection.
This has to be their best performance of this particular song ever....the energy ...epic
EVER!!!!!
I was lost and strung out on drugs and my sis started singing this song to me and I turned my life around. Thanks for all your awesome work. It saved my life!
Congrats on your bright journey....you found the light.
Stay strong on your journey Heidi. You are loved.
The power of music and love.....🤘🤘🔥🔥🙏🙏
music heals Man!
live musically
Great band was listening in my 20’s still listening in my 40’s
It's fucking awesome when the artist is just as good live as they are on record. what a great song.
Love Rob Thomas
I couldn't agree more. They do not need the magic of studio production to make their music sound great. NOT THAT MANY BANDS CAN SAY THAT!
No doubt this shit is fuckin lit!!
He still has that wonderfully soulful voice.
😍❤❤...awwwesome.
Seriously, this performance gives me chills. It's absolutely breathtaking and it just, ugh, it's indescribable. Just, wow.
1465 people have the decency to see great music and then acknowledge it
That voice, that smile, the feeling you get when you hear robs voice is transcending. SO blessed he was born in our time so we can enjoy his talent and gift. Love Rob, Lobe MB20
I can listen to him over and over and over again and it never gets old. Rob and MBT is my all time favorite❤️
Me to
It's really impressive how good this live performance is.
They were pretty reliably good live back in the day. Legit talent even if their music wasn't an individual's particular cup of tea.
this particular performance is my favorite and i watch it all the time
@@Indubidably0 they're still amazing live. Touring this summer. Can't wait.
I'm a classic rock guy from the 70s and 80s but some big time talented singer-songwriters came out of the 90s. Rob Thomas , Steven Jenkins, Noel Gallagher , John Rzeznik , Billy Joe , Chris Robinson & Dave Grohl. This performance is all time !
There is just something about the passion nd Rob's voice and how much he gets into the song that I find so attractive :D
imo they are one of those few bands that sounds great in LIVE performances.. im 29 and thankful i grew up with this kind of music.. simply one of my favorite band ever! still gives me goosebumps..
jesus christ hes so good.. i get chills we he sing "FOR GOD SAKES TURN AROUND!" wow what a musician
I love this guy !!! He is a great person. And I love that he seems he learned from his own mistakes, experience. He is just amazing!!!!!!
Everything about this song and performance is why I love rock n roll. When a group of people can get together and jam like this and it makes me want to stand up and move, that's why I love rock n roll. Excellent jam.
This is still my favorite live performance of all time.
I saw this concert at Van Andel in Grand Rapids, MI back in May of 2003. AWESOME!! I watch this and it brings it all back.
Yuuup great song, amazing performance.
Tim Hershelman
totally agree, seen it last night in Edmonton, honestly it might have been even better than this, the energy in the stadium was through the roof
Matchbox 20 has no bad songs. Amazing. :)
Seriously. They don’t do “filler” on their albums. It’s all so good
I've seen them live 5 times, they never disappoint. They are Amazing!!!
I met Rob Thomas at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, GA, on September 30, 2009. He is such a warm Soul. Matchbox Twenty came out halfway thru the concert and performed with Rob. It was one of the most amazing days of my life. To meet , touch, and talk to such a legend is an out of body experience.
Matchbox 20 will always be my favorite music group. Robs lyrics have helped me through some very hard times in life......
You're not alone there. His lyrics become so personal!!
THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL MUSIC.
The opening lines will bring you to tears if you're not careful.
he has never received the credit he so rightly deserved. but then when the crowds show up for his concerts, it speaks for itself.
matchbox 20 was my
children's first concert. my daughter was in 5th grade, son, 3rd grade. daughter loved it. son not so much. last year though he called me all excited. for a wedding present they were going to see Rob Thomas. he knew I would join in his excitement. as he explained to friends and his wife he grew up with Mom always playing and talking about Rob Thomas. he loved that concert!
This song has no expiration date. Amazing!... One of my fav songs ever!
rob Thomas is so powerful and inspirational the band is remarkable amazing. this is forever my favorite band. they put so much pride and effort into there performance every show. They are wonderful . They deserve there fame. I went to there concert might I say I was blown away. thank you so much!
I love this man. Sincerity in his lyrics and a genuine person.
conclusion: Great sound, Great song, Great vocals, Great Band, Great Singer Song-Writer.
He sounds just as good live as he does on soundtrack. Not many artists can do that
Hes just so entertaining to watch because of all the emotion he puts into each song. That is truly what makes him such a great artist.
Whoever was working sound for this is incredible!
Thank you Rob .💓
It's incredible how good he sounds live. Fantastic song and band.
He's no zomb. You can tell the music moves him, especially at the end.
Ah the good old days when live shows were further evidence of actual talent rather than autotune pieces of crap. Saw these guys in Atlanta back in the day and I was so impressed with their live music. Amazing!!
I was there in early 2008 at Phillips Arena! Were you there? Alanis opened up for them:) Godspeed:)
The average person has no idea how talented you have to be to play an instrument and sing. These guys are a machine. A very well oiled machine.
If you haven’t seen them live, grab a pen and put that on your bucket list! Insane talent
Still awesome!!!!!
I feel so privileged to have seen this band live...I took my friend who had never even heard of MB20 and she was blown away, even though she didn't know any of the songs....they are FREAKING AMAZING LIVE.
I grew up a few houses down from the drummer. He graduated a few years before me....we were both in the drumline for Norwin
one of the best live performances I have EVER seen
My best friend played and sang this to me. He changed some of the words around though because I moved to Las Vegas, not New York. I'm not close with my family and he was seriously the only reason why I might have decided not to leave. This song let me know that he's always gonna be there for me no matter how far I am, no matter if things don't work out for me here in these "bright lights"....
If his voice was breath taking when I was young it's even more so now..... 2018 who's still listening?????🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Nichole Miske me!!!! I’m still listening 👍👍👍👍👍
Matchbox Twenty is timeless! I have been a fan since the beginning of their career and I will be fan till the end. All of their songs speak to me and make me feel! They are my most favorite band! They evolve and change with the times but never lose the soul of their music!
Everything is just perfection in this performance.
Pure songwriting at its best.
Whether it be studio or live music, you name it, Rob Thomas still sounds amazing. Great lyrics and never change. All the songs I like.
I’ve been in love with this man for over 20 yrs!!♥️♥️♥️ he is absolutely incredibly talented & gorgeous!

Yes indeed.... Amazing ROB THOMAS
It's one of my all time favorite songs and has been for years!❤️
@ Jake Mactal
NEVER!!!!
I saw them with my daughter once a couple of years ago. Then they're coming back with the Counting Crows this summer right after my birthday and I'm taking my oldest son and daughter with me. We really can't wait; they put on an amazing show and just being there is going to be fantastic. Memories will be made that night!
Matchbox20 is part of the very few bands on this world who sounds as good in a studio as they do live.
My mom used to play matchbox 20 all the time when i was a kid, and we would always listen to the albums on repeat on our road trips to Chicago (ive got a lot of family there) and now i can't drive through downtown Chicago without this song playing.
Wow, what a song! Love the piano sound blending with Rob's voice, and then the whole band joining them.
Masterpiece right here
Wow, wow, & wow! That was absolutely incredible. They are sheer perfection live.
He rocks this one out!!!!
I love how Kyle is jamming that electric guitar 🎸 he's so good at it
drums,guitar,keyboard,bass,vocals SPLENDID!
for god sakes if you can see these boys live you won"t regret it. absolute legends. MB20 4EVA
Daniel Szczyrbiak i saw them live 2 years ago they were amazing I would see them again in a heartbeat!!💚
Seen twice!! I agree
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
My favorite Matchbox Twenty song.
Epic version of this song, Kyle Cook you rocked that guitar!!!! The whole band was phenomenal...love you guys, been listening to ya'll since your first single. I never get tired of listening to your music. Keep it coming!
I cant believe this only has 444 thousand views! I love this song!
I love this so much! They all feel the music and just go for it. Love them.
I was 13 years old when this song came out. And it's been a part of my life ever since! They don't make em like this anymore!
They brought this back into their live shows in 2013; and it was good to have this song back
that ending will not stop giving me goosebumps...
I love matchbox 20 and Rob Thomas. His live performances r killer! So good! This song ugh so heart felt! Awww :)

my wife loves his song writing....she suffers from RA...tear drop hurts so bad
One of the best voices in the industry. 😘😘
Miss Davis, I do agree one of the best voices, but the best and I do mean the best voice out there is is Andy Hull from the band Manchester Orchestra, the song STONES is mind blowing, as well as THE GROCERY, give them a listen I promise you it will bring you to an awarness you will feel, You will soon be looking up songs from him that make you wonder what your really doing here, Try WHEN I MET DEATH from Andy Hull on the right away great captain forum, you will thank me, good day
I totally agree. You are so right! I have felt that way for 20 years now. A special memory that was fun at the time and became a big part of my life story later.
And I was responding to you, Miss Betty Davis.
Rob Thomas is one of the best, pure singer-songwriters I've seen since John and Paul. In a time when the true singer-songwriter is a rarity, Rob's light shines quite bright.
This performance is so powerful, I love it!
I wish they still made music like this. I'm 25 years old and I'm stuck in the 90s and the early 2000s
Being a kid in the 90’s was the best man . Every radio station was playing BANGERS back then. Alt rock, classic rock, r&b, hip hop …all of it was fire
ROB THOMAS IS NOT ONLY MY FAVORITE SINGER BUT I THINK HE IS THE BEST SINGER BECAUSE HE SOUNDS EVEN BETTER LIVE THEN HE DOES ON A RECORD AND THERES NOT MANY SINGERS WHO CAN DO THAT.. ONLY A SHORT FEW AND HES ONE OF THEM
He's a GREAT singer that is TRULY SEXY!
Bono
what does his height have to do with it??
@@DC-pp9uf lmao
Best singer live.... eddie vedder is a close 2nd.
AND HOW AWESOME IS THAT. fact
what a magnificent voice and a truly great song. love it,love it,love it!!!
Great song and great band.
I literally dreamed of kyle on the piano after watching this late at night. My favorite mb 20 live song
Absolutely love this...Perfection all the way around. Only a few Bands accomplish it all...
Have not got bored of this song!!! His voice....*melt* ♥
This is the third live performance I’m watching, because I am shocked that he sounds EXACTLY the same as the studio version.
I was convinced this was lip syncing. It’s not! One of my favorites. ~
I feel ashamed that I have never really taken any notice of this band. I am 71 years old and now a true fan for the rest of my life. Sixty minutes show last night got me interested. Thank you sixty minutes

Perfect, you would never tell that was live if you couldnt see the video
Well, aside from the cheering maybe, but if you took that out and released this alongside the album version, I'd easily say this was better, but then I loath song fade outs.
+Kane Askew His voice is awesome.. I agree with you.. He is like magic an studio quality as soon as he opens his vocal chords..........Love em
Exactly. Best thing about Rob Thomas. He's amazing no matter where he's singing.
+scorpiogirl 1025 yessss
I agree. I saw him live. It. was. amazing.
love, love, love this group and Rob Thomas is so underrated .
