Matchbox 20 Concert
MB20 was absolutely fantastic. After a couple of very tepid supporting bands, Rob Thomas and his crew came on stage and kept the crowd going wild for almost two hours. Just about all the band’s hits were done, both new and old (I only noticed that “Girl Like That” was missing). The tempo was mixed, with the few traditional rock songs spaced out with slower piano pieces. “If You’re Gone” was done unplugged, although it felt emptier, missing the brass that fills in the gaps in the album version. “Downfall” was also missing the gospel choir, but a choir would have been a bit troublesome to bring along with them! I was also hoping to hear “You and I and I” which they only seem to play live, but unfortunately no luck. Nonetheless, excellent stuff. Good to sing along with, good to move along with. If you like MB20, I highly recommend seeing and hearing them in concert.

yeh if you’re gone was sooooo cool :) 1 hr and 45 according to Dave right??
“Good to move along with.”
Most amusing.
Were you guys blessed with Disease in acoustic form? It feels extremely wrong to hear it with anything but a single acoustic guitar after you hear that version.
Unfortunately, the Seattle leg of the tour was right during school for me, on a monday or wednesday night i remember, because I had a class on one of those nights. Weekend concerts would be very nice…
People actually admit they like matchbox 20? Im shocked and dismayed.
