Who’s still watching and loving MB20 in feb 2024 ❤

[@AnthonyL0401]

I love how in the moment Rob was during this performance. Just in the very middle of it. Emotionally connected to it and radiating the energy out to the rest of us. No pauses or chuckles to let the crowd sing popular verses... no, Rob owned the moment and delivered it to us all.

[@kyleallen1858]

Is there anything more annoying then an artist letting the crowd sing or talking or singing different lyrics or adding lyrics that were not use to!!! It’s the worst!! Huge reason I love matchbox and someone also like Garth brooks they stick with the script and what the fans know

[@branchedoutdoors6586]

Anybody else enjoying a little MB20 in 2023?! 🎶 ❤️

[@petterssonc]

Still in 2024! :)

[@debbywatson7217]

You betcha, still in 2024! Especially this one and a couple others.

[@suzannewilhelm6397]

2024! This was my anthem in the 90’s, but this version is 20x! Maybe because it’s because it still rings true.

[@gin_1494]

3:16 i realy love that hit on the drum...so underated

[@kingvinceceo]

the drummer is so amazing!

[@davidodonnellfilm]

Incredible. He deserved more cred. They were never considered cool but you can't deny this man as a vocalist and lyricist. This performance was a fucking journey. So honest!

[@carlosr.8729]

agree

[@joandralee]

How is it possible a guy sings a song which is the same live compared to the studio album? I mean this guy is so blessed and gifted I can´t even find the words! Rob is definitely something else on the vocals!

[@deangelobayley7079]

Pours all his soul into every song

[@crescentcitygumbo]

Sure doesn't happen often! I rather hear them live, most cases!

[@seanzy4]

GOAT

[@trishvega9013]

Because he’s that good 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻 nobody else like him ✌🏻

[@aaronmccandless2853]

I don't know how many times I've wtched this video, but each time I do it means more an more cause it's such a powerful and emotional song

[@marynewberry9732]

@Aaron Mccandless Have you seen the whole concert that this song is from? It's such a cool ride to go along on...In 1 word, Perfection!! Look up Matchbox 20 concerts, it's the "iTunes Festival 2012"

[@crazymusic4717]

Men those last 2 verses always make my skin crawl.

[@blessedwithaperfectlife6880]

Best song ever! Rob's voice is amazing! I fell in love with this song in the late 90's. I would travel to Victoria BC from the US side on the weekends to bar hop and dance. I always asked for this song to be played. Best years of my life!!!

[@johngianno6409]

How a band can sound the same or better live than in studio amazes me. Are there really just that few bands that are not so heavily post produced? These are the only guys whose live performances I don't avoid on KZbin. Live never sounds as good. These guys are something special.

[@dallaserwin9718]

I seen them live there awesome !!!

[@andrewprice4678]

John Gianno part of it is the crowd is quiet lol

[@Jackben1mble]

John Gianno paramore sounds great live

[@gandalfthegrey8236]

Richmond Acosta In what decade? cause it's not this one. No disrespect to Hayley Williams but she's no Rob Thomas

[@k247a]

J Geils did too, , still do....

[@progress1482]

This is one of the great singers that even in live his voice never change. His voice is so good, cool and one the best singer/band i know!

[@donniemaulfair7768]

he is alsome singer so real to bad not enough woman that real as they song

[@jameszelenak9242]

Even more than a greatest singer I used to be a front man in the band in the 80s and fortunately now I look more like Haas from Bonanza but Rob Thomas has the greatest voice and his lyrics are incredible even when he can rhyme Alaric he doesn't I've never seen anything like him before he is a freaking God

[@cynthiamartin2619]

True that !

[@ronniero1590]

WOW, his voice is soooo amazing! You could fall in love with him!

[@vicrattlehead6386]

more than 15 years later and Rob still look and sounds exactly the same like in mid 90's

[@paulbelardo2239]

No other band today comes close

[@0809serena]

Hard to find a singer that actually sounds better live than in studio. Got dragged to a MB20 concert with my family when I was a teenager, turned out to be one of the best concerts I've ever been to. I remember literally being brought to tears when he sang this. I'll never forget this show for as long as I live. Rob Thomas is incredible

[@joshuaholmes6358]

Them lyrics are so powerful so much meaning!

[@41bmc]

Now that's a show I'd love to experience. Some serious soul and emotion from that band...top notch.

[@marynewberry9732]

@Brad C look it up, it's on here atleast. Matchbox 20 concerts, its the itunes festival 2012. I searched for it a few yrs back and found it! It's Unbelievable!!

[@TacoQueen1CP]

Damn, this song came out in 96 and Rob still sings the same. 90% of singers who sing the same song 18 years later sound different or worse. Love this band, every lyric really touches me and the way Rob pours out his everything into every single performance as well as the rest of the bandmates. You can really tell that they're a great band together, on their faces you can see how they feel about playing with such emotion god I just love them!!

[@TacoQueen1CP]

Goes along with the rest of their songs, watched a ton of live performances and they always sound the same as their recording versions!

[@baileystuckey6808]

Dude, I've always noticed this and admired Rob and the guys even more so just for that. Matchbox Twenty is my life long favorite band.

[@TacoQueen1CP]

Bailey Stuckey I don't know who could hate them aha they're my favorite band as well as green day lol!

[@doriswalsh5149]

He sings with his heart & soul

[@NoFateButWhatWeMake]

incredible vocal control considering how much energy it takes to carry a performance like this. Bravo Mr. Thomas.

[@ashleytaccone5298]

I agree. I think people assume singing is easy, especially slower songs like this but here you can clearly see it takes a lot of energy to sound this good.

[@zackreynolds21]

He dragged the entire time. Otherwise he sounded great, but him “playing catch-up” the entire song was distracting

[@WHEREtheFUNK]

this song is very well written and delivered. High level stuff here.

[@tonyc4776]

Man this song just does it! Feelers n daydreaming

[@eyeonadvertisingsolutions-2155]

This is one of my favorite albums ever "Yourself or someone like you" Rob and the boys from Matchbox 20 are amazing artist!

[@Bloomr09]

Mine too!

[@hayes572]

Why the fuck are people sitting there not realizing they're in the presence of absolute perfection???? wtf?!

[@ChannelJtotheD]

Wonderful song. Rob sings with so much feel and passion. God bless his soul

[@brek9029]

Rob has such amazing talent i melt every time i listen to one of his songs. It’s like I’m hearing it for the first time everytime, and i just keep falling in love. This is one band that will never let me down. I admire all the passion they put into their voices and performances

[@randomlyweirdjeff4638]

This touches my soul. I envision driving to this as the sun sets. A song from my childhood!

[@phoebefugate4757]

Very Beautiful song ,,Rob Thomas ,,Match box 20 ,,,,so smooth so real ,Match box Twenty gave us some Beautiful songs ,Thanks Match box,,Very Well done !!!,,

[@lucreziaborgia1759]

Truest lyrics ever sung.. Rob is the greatest of the greats.

[@kennedykiser557]

A very favorite of mine indeed.

[@jayk6955]

It's crazy how awesome this song is. You have no idea😢❤ Love you Thomas❤❤

[@Muffin192213]

the 90's era sound still resonates today, amazing music.

[@blackcatlover7028]

One of my favorites! The man can sing!

[@riyuski666]

one of the best band ever

[@staceywhaley3538]

He is so freaking amazing ❤️

[@angelamatlock1932]

This song rips my heart apart 💔

[@BlackAngus555]

God I love this song so much, tears are streaming down my face because I feel everything this man is singing, it's so damn beautiful ❤️

[@caretaker158]

Best live performance.... EVER!

[@tuesdayellsworth731]

My my my Rob Thomas is the best most talented singer and song writer of my life and I want to thank Rob Thomas for helping me with my tragedys and the hell I have been through a lot he saved me!! Ty xoxo

[@jannetteraptis3313]

?

[@lloydd.2306]

This song is addictive! I love Rob, matchbox twenty.

[@baracktrump1410]

Good recovery by the drummer at 1:37, tossed his stick and recovered without missing a beat.

[@ricardoabreu69]

Is like, 🤯🤯🤯🤯 where that stick gone??? . 😂😂😂😂J

[@jbm8444]

Did he toss it or did it break?

[@channafernandopulle2346]

think it was on purpose and he's just that cool. seriously sick drumming performance, epic from the band all round. They are all so zoned in on what they're doing. absolutely incredible. and yeah he actually changes the type of sticks after the first verse chorus. the first set is actually thinner sticks banded together i think to give a softer sound, and he switched to hard sticks after that, and you reallllly feel the volume jump when he gets into the middle of the song. and I think he used a gong type stick at the end too. phenomenal

[@Yellokitti]

That's passion.

[@Hillsidecreep60]

This version makes me appreciate this song sooo much more...was never a fan but now I "hear" it...very cool

[@andrean.s.6193]

What a beautiful song, so peaceful!

[@PollyGammy]

Andrea N. S. It is a great song, but it’s about a one night stand.

[@violachristinedonald3427]

one of the best songwriters in the whole world!!

[@taralane6081]

So heartfelt....goosebumps...exactly what I'm feeling...Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@leevann9854]

Hell Yeah.

[@leevann9854]

Hell Yeah.

[@leevann9854]

Hell Yeah.

[@leevann9854]

Awesome

[@Jarhead1313]

This is version is way better than the album version, it's heartfelt and is coming from his soul and that is what makes a song actually move a person,Well played Rob.

[@debbieleeday83]

Oh to have a gift like this. That Voice is otherworldly.. Damn Beautiful

[@michaeldavoult2633]

One GREAT SONG...……….Thanks for sharing

[@dokken1969]

wow, what a great video!!! one of my personal fave songs of all time:)

[@joepalmer3231]

No doubt....among the best of the best.

[@montieez]

I would give a couple fingers to see this band live.

[@pattinedved7763]

EmilysnightmareISsic that s funny cuz I always say I choose not to be an aficionado of any other human cuz we are all different yet the same...we can't judge, so anyway long story long hypothetically I would probably cut off a finger or two as well...lmao

[@rosetownes3158]

Love this song.

[@yimmys85]

This group is not legal for hire. They're just too good.

[@randomgaygirl]

Love his voice in this song. And the drums are the best. Eargasm!

[@MsShelley43]

Best song in the world!!!!

[@KD4PWH]

Amazing song....one of my all time favorites

[@tammypelphrey2409]

Great video!! Love Matchbox 20

[@PaulaJoW]

This is the time when Rob was such a great songwriter - when he really had something to say. Have seen MB20 at least 20 times live and they never disappointed.

[@nba_fan7214]

Rob is such an underrated vocalist. Great classic hard rock voice but with the ability to sing softer songs as well

[@imurella]

My most favorite mb20 song ..

[@tracylyn85]

I cant wait to see them live, I've had tickets but it keeps getting rescheduled cuz covid 😒 so Rob, August 2023 can't waittt

[@rafaelfernandini329]

Such a great band! You don’t get to see these anymore.

[@TheSnuffda]

his voice holy shit man . that band fucking kicks ass too.

[@wandaburgess9400]

*PURE TALENT* He's actually better live! How many "STAR'S CAN SAY THAT" *WOW SO BEAUTIFUL HIS TALENT*

[@gilesskelton5750]

When I watch this, it makes me feel alive! To wrap up with how blown away that I get, is on the facial , the precious face reaction that that little Indian Girl has is on 3:50...She could not talk if she had to at this very moment! I mean if you asked her a question right then,,HaaHaa...........Now that is how much is the effect with how the song and the singing of Rob does. Oh and on 4:39 the little girl goes to do a facial gesture to the camera, but cuts it off and turns from the sudden change of sound in to making sure to not miss RObs next inducement .. of expression that memorizes all of us..... So Glad he and the band is still alive and is young......To maybe make more songs cause no body else is... Now Korn did a good job last year...

[@lucerohoward5649]

Rob love your voice a lot, just beautiful and unique, you are a very special guy; all my love to you. 😉🥰

[@janetmarshall2673]

Everyone here knows everyone here is thinking about somebody else.And everyone here,hates everyone here for doing just like they do. It's nothing , it's so normal. Everyone hides 50 shades of shame. JAN 22/2015 Just Say'in
