Summary: MB20 up close and personal
Review: A great look into the mind of Rob Thomas and he describes some of the inspirations behind many of his hit songs. Thomas gets very personal even revealing the fact that he doens't like the sound of his own voice! This DVD features a great mix of songs from their initial album "Yourself or Someone Like you" and the follow up "Mad Season".

The only downside to Matchbox Twenty's storytelling session is the lack of acoustic versions of hit songs; a favorite aspect of mine that blends in nicely with the intimate feel of the show. This is more than made up for with the a country version of push, and nice variations for fans wanting a twist in their favorite CD versions.

The highlight of the show is a piano version of 3AM that will leave you speechless. Seeing Rob alone on the piano after hearing his meaning behind the song brings the audience to tears, and a new appreciation of the song to all who listen.

Overall a great performance by a great band that is sure to please all who watch. VH1's storytellers is always a great show and Matchbox Twenty's episode is no exception so enjoy!

Summary: Very boring...
Review: After watching Rob's performance in Santana's latest DVD called "Supernatural", which is one of the best DVDs ever, I was expecting a lot more from the Matchbox 20 DVD.

After reading some of the reviews poseted here I decided to give it a shot but now I regret it. I found this DVD very boring for several reasons. First of all, the audience is very small making the show look a little bit artificial. I prefer shows where the audience play a more active, vibrating role. Second, Rob always says something between the songs (the guy will not shut up and simply sing the songs) which I don't know why some people think is interesting. Third, Rob sings acoustic version of some of the band's greatest hits, which in my opinion did not have the same vibe as the original version.

Regarding the sound quality, no doubt it is great. However, this is a very boring DVD.

My two cents...

Summary: Amazing
Review: As a fan of the band, I wanted to see the DVD, and as I write this, I am watching it for the second time tonight.

Seeing them perform this way makes the music all that much better.

Summary: Too much talk talk talk
Review: Excellent DVD! The sound and the video are excellent! I have to say that this is the best rock band there is today. They get better and better with each production. This performance is really good. You get to listen to the stories behind their songs, which are very fascinating. You also get to listen to re-arranged versions of some of their songs. It is a brilliant video and you should get it.

Summary: Worth the Wait
Review: I first saw the show on a flight from Manila to San Francisco. It was a 16-hour flight but, when I saw Matchbox Twenty, on the screen, I knew I had to be awake for it. And I also knew I had to get a copy of the show.

Well, it took more than a year for the DVD to be released but it really is worth the wait! The version of "3 AM" is exceptional! Even if it were only the track in that DVD, I would still have bought this. (Nevertheless, everything is great!)

Read the insert on the DVD as well. It's kind of a story behind the story. And I agree -- it was a remarkable evening!

Review: I love this DVD! The band looks and sounds great and I love watching it over and over. My favorite is their rendition of "Lonely Weekend" and the country version of "Push" is a fun song to listen to as well. I would recommend this DVD to any Matchbox Twenty fan or even just to anyone who loves great music.
