[@samuelscarborough6348]

One of hr what ever! Boy the 90’s were magical! 2024 and still here! Who’s with me?

[@ruthbrown5296]

I'm fairly new to matchbox 20 and I love this song. I'm 69 and I found a new jam.

[@eunicedetoiles9901]

This is my jam!.....Summer 2023

[@cameronthomp]

This is one of my favorite songs/performances of all time!!! It rocks

[@markdellose4989]

Impossible to sound any better LIVE than this tremendous performance by Matchbox 20… There are zero flaws compared to the studio version!!! Even better than the Real Thing as Bono would say!!!

[@adstaton8461]

Still one of my favorite songs.

[@ohjoey8988]

The song still holds up

[@carlibrousseau2201]

I'm going to see them in March. I cannot wait to see them blow it out of the water live.. they stand the test of time.

[@dankippert2677]

Cant believe the lack of views and comments

[@TheRealMaxWolf]

I also really love Rob Thomas’ songs Lonely No More, Little Wonders (from the movie Meet The Robinsons), and his duet with Santana (Smooth)

[@JR-zv6qm]

"Head honcho", love that line.

[@davide724]

Based off this performance's sound quality from this video, they sound very good live. This live performance of "Real World" sounds as good as the studio version, just in another way. ✌😎👌

[@irow800]

I just saw them last night in Noblesville, IN. They sound just as good if not better 20 years later!

[@TheRealMaxWolf]

It’s hard to choose between this song and 3AM for my favorite Matchbox Twenty song. I wanna say this song wins out just a little bit because of the riff at the beginning of the song that’s also heard at other points throughout the song as well as the chorus when he starts saying Straight Up What Did You Hope To Learn About Here?

[@lhbox83]

They're a very solid, and very genuine live band.

[@TheCreekyman]

Superb performance from the lads❤

[@larryb3946]

Great sound quality 👌

[@jemvaleriano9172]

The way I loved this band for my entire life

[@ceez8731]

Wow theyre incredible live. Amazing. Whoa.

[@dyanalynn6698]

Wow what a great live show this would have been to see!

[@boomer1529]

easily my favorite Matchbox 20 song

[@ryanflynn6214]

One of the best songs in history

[@leoliew6001]

Dayum that chick at 1:44

[@brianolvr11]

Yeah, she wanted some for sure. Lol!

[@gusnels4216]

Watched them in Aus just then they were so good as expected but wish the crowd was like this, rod laver didn’t deserve matchbox I was only one up and about in my section

[@pauljames9301]

The lead guitarist must have a matchbox of 20 hash cookies backstage at all times. Every time I see him, he’s high as fu*k!

[@twa4077]

what??? what says hes “high”?? you sound like a goof

[@daynasmum529]

If it wasnt for cannabis we would have but a small percentage of the great music we enjoy today. Pot & great music go hand in hand.

[@colin-nekritz]

Cook always looks like that tho

[@thomascoburn]

Used this song on my new video just today.

[@timmcPherrin]

dang they sound good

[@sephiroth1985102514]

It's ironic that Rob wonders what it's like to be the head honcho and wonders what he'd do if they all did just what he said. In this setting he IS the head honcho and they WILL do just what he said.

[@barefoot4233]

Gotta love it 😋

[@johnnny5veeoxx]

epic

[@bigbubba29]

Epic!

[@marcb.singer2070]

Well I wonder what it's like to be a rainmaker I wonder what it's like to know that I made the rain I'd store it in boxes with little yellow tags on every one And you can come and see them when I'm done When I'm done I wonder what it's like to be a super hero I wonder where I'd go if I could fly around downtown, yeah From some other planet, I'd get this funky high on the yellow sun Boy I bet my friends will all be stunned They're stunned Yeah, yeah Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here If I was someone else, would this all fall apart Strange, where were you, when we started this gig I wish the real world, would just stop hasslin' me And you, and you, and me Well I wonder what it's like to be the head honcho I wonder what I'd do if they all did just what I said (That's what I said) Well I'd shout out an order I think we're out of this man get me some Boy don't make me wanna change my tone My tone Yeah, yeah Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here If I was someone else, would this all fall apart Strange, where were you, when we started this gig I wish the real world, would just stop hasslin' me Please don't change, please don't break 'Cause the only thing that seems to work at all is you Please don't change, at all from me To you, and you to me hey, hey Yeah, yeah Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here If I was someone else, would this all just fall apart Strange, where were you, when we started this gig I wish the real world, would just stop hasslin' me I wish the real world, would just stop hasslin' me I wish the real world, would just stop hasslin' me And you, and me

[@teemac4833]

Bad to the bone 😎

[@SlowLlama92]

The drummer absolutely fucks

[@ponyboy7825]

2000s were it

[@stacypollock9289]

Where were you in 2021 when we started this game?

[@Luschan]

At some point between 1996 and 2003, it seems that someone pointed out to Rob that the T-Rex arm flailing thing is an off-putting affectation, and it’s better to just stand or gesture like a normal person while you sing.

[@TragicHeroe]

What are you referencing?

[@AKRASSIA]

These guys all look high as shit hahaha I love it man what a sick band

[@dankippert2677]

[@tageast148]

[@daynasmum529]

[@GDaws]

[@erniedouglas7757]
