They're one of the few bands who can perform the same songs 20+ years and sound amazing every single performance. I love Matchbox Twenty.

Great 'Fun Fact'!! I had not realized how long it had been since it was released...OMG 😲

This is my first public reply ever Rob Thomas I have been on a kick for the last 2 weeks just listening over and over to the same songs and I can't believe I just seen this this morning thanks you guys are awesome! You got to do smooth

[@wanderbread4217]

they were tearing up the charts back then. far from underrated

[@music4ever1981]

Simply amazing. No auto tune, no synthesizers, no outside help. Nothing but pure talent from Rob and Kyle. I'm not meaning to imply that auto tune, synthesizers, or outside help are necessarily bad things; it's just refreshing to hear a band being able to perform without them. And to do it without Brian and Paul, and still sound incredible, is one of the reasons Matchbox Twenty will always be one of my favorite bands.

[@BrianHartman]

I love the way Thomas sings this. It's not just the vocals, but the emoting. It looks like it affects him deeply when he sings it, like he's losing her all over again.

[@KarlSchoenefeld4]

I always liked their guitar player. Since the beginning he's just always looked like he genuinely enjoys playing their songs, no matter how easy or difficult his guitar role is in the song.

[@desivon]

That's Kyle Cook. He's amazing!

[@melissawolf5066]

My mom was obsessed with Matchbox Twenty. And every time I hear this or any of their songs I feel like she's watching. Shes been gone for ten years almost... but I love this and I am glad I was able to listen to this.. beautiful and flawless. Thanks!

[@susanwinnie]

You can't get much better than this right here. I became a fan of M20 at the age 21 - I'm now 43 - and the music of these TRUE artists still moves me, and it's bc their talent is exceptional and transcendent! They're incomparable and inarguably in a class of their own. This is proof. It's unbelievably impressive when you perform LIVE! Thank you for making this fan so happy and sharing your music & talent during my lifetime to appreciate... I still can't get over how great and pure y'all sound, even though I've known how blessed y'all are since day one!! You never, ever disappoint. Sincerely, Susan

[@stul5118]

I love this, not only is it raw voice with guitar. It feels like he’s actually having the conversation that he imagined having when he wrote the song.

[@massenafc]

They did this live in Syracuse Saturday and it blew me away. I wish this was the studio version. this is absolutely amazing. i could listen to it all day. every day.

[@kayla5978]

I came to find this after seeing it live too! Took my breath away!

Such a gem of a tune, album, and era of tunes. Hasn't left my vehicle since its inception.

[@vero0992]

I wish they would do Back 2 Good 😊😷

[@nalaqueenofthejungle]

Mine is “Push”. Every time I hear that song, it takes me right back to driving to my college classes, in my French twist bun with a scrunci hair clip, thin eyebrows, hoops, jean overalls and polyester blouse and penny loafers to class it up, with my cross body pleather bag next on my passenger seat. I can just close my eyes and I’m right back there. LOVE YOU MATCHBOX 20!!!! #foreverpartofmyyouth

[@jkeen1492]

Over 20 yrs ago I was at a gig in Hanford, Can., And this DJ guy was throwing cassettes into the audience, and I caught one. Best free thing I ever received, first Matchbox 20 album. Musical geniuses, totally underrated, deserve hall of fame recognition.

[@kathall6422]

Really and totally underrated. They were the best band when they 1st came out, they still are now and always will be. Please stay safe, healthy and kind, peace and much love sent from Ontario, Canada.

[@GingerKC]

Aren't they in the Hall of Fame???? I think they are?? I'll check. :)

[@daveg4236]

Underrated? They tour large venues and sell them out. Not underrated at all

[@jkeen1492]

I know they are appreciated and well paid and they may even be in the hall of fame, but there are bands of lesser talent that get much more recognition, that's all I am saying

I honestly didn't think you could get any better looking or better vocally but you just proved us ALL wrong , Rob.

[@robertherzog9294]

My wife and I still rate the Matchbox Twenty Cruise as our #1 vacation, even though due to our flights from CA to FL and bad weather in TX we almost didn't make it and we were so tired when we finally got on board the ship. At the meet and greet Kyle mentioned liking my orange shirt with the guitars on it, I should have offered to trade shirts just for a good laugh. Great memories, especially seeing so many people making so many bad decisions!

Hey Rob my wife says she will leave me in a heartbeat if your ever available...and I'm good with that brother....chestercrew.

[@blackjay6229]

That's so funny 🤣🤣

[@john-paulsilke893]

Well, it wouldn’t be an insult. If my wife traded that far up I’d at least never have to pay for drinks at the bar. Heck it’s push me up the scale to a guy who was cool or hot enough for a girl that Rob Thomas would scoop off of me. 🤣 Seriously though, don’t steal my girl Rob.

One of the best bands EVER, and that's coming from this Grandma who grew up on Classic Rock! These guys are every bit as good live as on recordings. Can't say that about many singers & groups. Just listen to Kyle's guitar perfection and the perfection of Rob's voice. Simply amazing. Great. Iconic. Perfect.

[@ArcAngellErzengell]

I am 33 years old. I decided on Counting Crows to be my first concert (Which happened to also be touring with Matchbox 20)... which was about 3 years ago. I loved counting crows but didn't go for MB20.... but let me tell you, their stage presence was unreal! It was an amazing show for sure!

[@diego2112gaming]

Always said if Counting Crows, Goo Goo Dolls and Collective Soul ever did a triple headline near me and my job wouldn't let me off to see 'em, I'd quit to go to it.

Man, can I please just say thank you Matchbox Twenty. Thank you. For the amazing memories that I have associated with your music. Thank you for the perfect track that I needed just when I needed it. Thank you for so many fantastic albums from front to back. Thank you for your passion and your inspiration and your ability to reach my emotions so well. I love you Matchbox Twenty

Oh my heart. I could leave this on repeat allllllll day. "I bet you're hard to get over" best compliment everrr

[@rhb3805]

Thank you! Moved me as much today, as it did the day it was released. My husband worked a lighting gig for one of their VERY early concerts, and took me that evening to see the show. They were my instant favorite and have continued to be all these years. My husband passed away last year, and going through this Corona thing with our twin girls alone has been hard, to say the least. This video hit me hard in so many different ways. Again, I say Thank you Matchbox 20/Rob Thomas.. the man who sings to my soul!!!

I learned that day that you, Rob, were the cousin of my dear fellow pharmacy school classmate Mandee. She was so humble, but so proud of you! After her passing this year and hearing you sing this song tonight flooded back so many wonderful memories! Thank you for being one of my all time favorite groups and solo acts to listen to!
