[@obefiend]

They don’t make music like this anymore. Pure emotion

[@ryanpoli3209]

New Matchbox album this summer!

[@brucedaisomont7502]

This is so fantastic !

[@truvintage5800]

Damn Straight! Why is the question.

[@michaelmancini5773]

I think, one of the most underrated rock bands ever, Rob Thomas is a true talent.

[@urmylobster212]

This has to be their best performance of this particular song ever....the energy ...epic

[@DellieB]

EVER!!!!!

[@royreynolds1535]

Great band was listening in my 20’s still listening in my 40’s

[@acheybrenda]

It's fucking awesome when the artist is just as good live as they are on record. what a great song.

[@margaretsalisbury5420]

Love Rob Thomas

[@srulison]

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!

[@nunyabizwacks6711]

No doubt this shit is fuckin lit!!

[@timothylewis2450]

He still has that wonderfully soulful voice.

[@smjk55]

😍❤❤...awwwesome.

[@MucciMaine4]

He sounds just as good live as he does on soundtrack. Not many artists can do that

[@kennygallagher3349]

Matchbox 20 has no bad songs. Amazing. :)

[@virginiaordaya]

Seriously. They don’t do “filler” on their albums. It’s all so good

[@charlesjambe9519]

Whoever was working sound for this is incredible!

[@justinriley11]

Seriously, this performance gives me chills. It's absolutely breathtaking and it just, ugh, it's indescribable. Just, wow.

[@KuttyJoe]

The opening lines will bring you to tears if you're not careful.

[@CraigSmith-qq3sr]

Live from Phillips Arena Atlanta 2003. I was there,absolutely live perfection.

[@rmg1188]

It's really impressive how good this live performance is.

[@Indubidably0]

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.

[@kahliashmerer9463]

this particular performance is my favorite and i watch it all the time

[@ryanpoli3209]

@@Indubidably0 they're still amazing live. Touring this summer. Can't wait.

[@brucedaisomont7502]

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 !

[@emzrg2940]

I can listen to him over and over and over again and it never gets old. Rob and MBT is my all time favorite❤️

[@tamaracharles2509]

[@greenmachine_keviv]

Listening to this song in 2023 still sounds so fresh and evergreen forever.This live version is just WOW.

[@eugenegrewing2587]

This is still my favorite live performance of all time.

[@kanderson2662]

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.

[@bnvcharger07]

[@jureal60]

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!!!!!!

[@HaLfKrYpToNiAn420]

Matchbox 20 will always be my favorite music group. Robs lyrics have helped me through some very hard times in life......

[@cassianremmington2952]

You're not alone there. His lyrics become so personal!!

[@heidibarnard8861]

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!

[@samanthadelgado5239]

Congrats on your bright journey....you found the light.

[@johnwirkes]

[@lauracorbett4577]

I love how Kyle is jamming that electric guitar 🎸 he's so good at it

[@katmd03]

Maaann, that drummer is feeeelin it!!

[@kristianfeliz213]

Everything is just perfection in this performance.

[@tammym8966]

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!!

[@ADDAuntDawnDisorder]

I was there in early 2008 at Phillips Arena! Were you there? Alanis opened up for them:) Godspeed:)

[@shellya.6344]

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!

[@uwuboogaloo2240]

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!

[@Richard.Cabeza]

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.

[@Sophie_8Cutie]

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..

[@luv24real]

They brought this back into their live shows in 2013; and it was good to have this song back

[@Awakened11]

Masterpiece right here

[@Bethebug123]

his voice can have such powerful and such tender tones to it, such a range

[@2004dale]

I love matchbox 20 and Rob Thomas. His live performances r killer! So good! This song ugh so heart felt! Awww :)

[@adobo777]

Matchbox20 is part of the very few bands on this world who sounds as good in a studio as they do live.

[@jjn4uo]

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.

[@SuperSunchine]

I can not wait until 2020!!!! Rob hinted at a new album & tour in 2020 , during an interview recently......take my $$$$$

[@MovieTime022]

Yes. He's hinted at it a few times this last article he said new music is on the way

[@myviews7021]

[@bettydavis5588]

One of the best voices in the industry. 😘😘

[@georgeclark5711]

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

[@karenhartman1008]

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.

[@karenhartman1008]

And I was responding to you, Miss Betty Davis.

[@lilyrose1174]

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!

[@kimberlyrushing6565]

This dude can sing dammit! What a kick ass performance!

[@Sarah_xoxoo]

one of the best live performances I have EVER seen

[@SkyHigh87]

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.

[@SmOkEandPaNcAkE90]

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!

[@arjonafan]

oh gosh i cant get over how amazing Rob's voice is.

[@teo1222]

I love this so much! They all feel the music and just go for it. Love them.

[@scorpioustv]

[@billysparks5493]

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.

[@manishbaj]

Wow, what a song! Love the piano sound blending with Rob's voice, and then the whole band joining them.

[@jaronsblacktreensabo]

Perfect, you would never tell that was live if you couldnt see the video

[@EuroMIX2]

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.

[@hardlukwoman443]

+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

[@thesearchforhope]

Exactly. Best thing about Rob Thomas. He's amazing no matter where he's singing.

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"....
