@@NikoXC08 yes! I agree. If You're Gone is another favorite. Have you ever heard the acoustic version? I think it was VH1 Storytellers? Just beautiful.
@@VanessaCarrMusic awhile ago I saw an acoustic version of him performing it, and talking about the meaning of the song. Maybe that was it? That dude has gotta be a heart throb for any woman who grew up with his music 😂
Great live, recorded, it doesn't matter! The Best! Saw him in Dallas Texas with matchbox, then live solo. Don't know which was beat, both were SO awesome!!!
Yessir, he is Amazing, n still got his words n talent to every song he sings , burning 🎵🎶🎵 on my heart 💙❤️💙 Everytime I hear em 😇 He's the most unique , angel given voice n artist out there 😜💭💯❣️
Holy hell, this is an absolutely blazing performance. Rob's a superstar *_musician_* who must hail f/a distant star system given his *_live performer chops_* ... *AND* is, objectively, one of, if not *the* most accomplished *_songwriters_* of this genre. Ever.
Seriously, Matchbox 20 is one of the most best sounding band in live performance. Watching them live was just like listening to the studio version. Greatest band ever.
Even more impressive, this is usually the song he ends shows with! So even after everything he's poured out for 20 songs, he still has this much left in the tank for "Bright Lights"!
I saw them last weekend and am still in awe. still find myself with music from that night bouncing around in my head. I have listened to them since I can remember listening to music as a youngin. Long Day was the first song I heard from them and its been game over since. This, over the years, has become one of my all time favorites, not just by them but in general and let me tell you, they did not disappoint on any song. blessed to have witnessed them live.
When in an interview, Rob said this was his favorite song to preform live. I see why. Such charisma. I absolutely love this band, but most importantly Rob. Thank you for getting me through the loss of my dad - - keep up the good work.
My and I daughter seen this great band back when daughter was in 8th grade , this was her concert at palace in Auburn hills Michigan, she is now 32 years old and we both love listening..... thank you
One of my favorite songs by these guys. I was friends with Robs mom, Mamie. She was a hoot. I met Rob once and unfortunately it was at her funeral. Very nice and humble guy.
I saw them 1999 in a small venue but had never heard him alone with his piano until that night and I was just blown away.i liked Matchbox 20 before that but hearing him alone with his piano changed life as I knew it lol I fell in love with him as a musician and his true talent.Bright Lights will always be my favorite Matchbox 20 song
I swear I'm addicted to this song & video! Idk how many times I have watched! Over 300x in the last couple months 🤦🏻♀️😜 it is perfect! Rob is fucking epic! ✨🌟
owe them my life. 2 years ago i went though a rough pregnancy and delivery, a few of their songs were the only way i could get kick counts and get my baby to eat. She stayed in the nicu for 3 months. now she is almost 3 and loves to dance to them
Korpse Bride I love it when your life us so connected to music!!! My dad died when I was 13, everytime i hear a certain Fleetwood Mac song, I think of him!!
Bloody love Rob. Always puts an incredible amount of energy into his performances. Awesome musician and song writer. Hands down my favourite song of his and matchbox 20’s
This one and others from matchbox 20 were definitely a reminder as you tough through breakups. Looking back, I've got so many scares now, but I never lost my ability to love. This world has away of changing you, don't let it. At least not in a negative way!!!
Loved this song when I was on the road. It kept me motivated to do my job and get back to my fiance. Years pass and my then fiance is now my wife. She sat by my side while I was in a coma. Waking from that slumber was the worst day of my life. Fought a funky depression for weeks. This song motivated me in rehab to walk again. Love this freaking song
This song is dedicated 2 my beautiful brother & sister-in-law died recently from an Fentanyl overdose...I miss my beautiful brother & sister in law...✌❤🌎
I have a chronic kidney disease which limits my activities. This band their music helps to fill my days with smiles and good vibes. Seeing them perform is on my bucket list
One of the best lyrics ever: "Some things in this world -- man, they don't make sense...some things you don't need until they leave you -- then they're things that you miss"!
One of the greatest live acts you will ever see Saw him solo and with Matchbox 20 and I feel blessed to have those memories. What an incredible vocalist and song writer. Don't think he ever got the game he deserved. He is an all time great performer in my eyes. He sounds exactly the same in person.
Rob is one of the greatest raw emotion performers ever. I think he added some extra to this cause they knew they were filming, but, Ive also seen him live when they weren't. It's not much different.
Just love the opening on the piano, how this jam builds up and all the energy and passion on the stage! They sure got their money's worth and then some! :-)
Been a Matchbox Twenty fan for 25 years....one of my favorite songs. Kyle is "bad ass" on the guitar & Rob is awesome on the piano. Matchbox Twenty & Rob Thomas is my favorite band & soloist of all times.
I've want to thank Rob and MB20 for helping me thru one of the hardest thing in my life I've been going through! I can get lost in all of their performances and forget the issues of my life right now! Love You Guys!
Awesome! Sounds awesome! They are so into this song, their singing carries them. Unlike other bands they don’t need fireworks, lights changing colors, no drama effects like other bands need. Just pure Match Box 20 music. Thank you guys!
I get really bored with choreography...I mean it's ok I just tire of it easily. Song lyrics suck these days. Lady Gaga got a big hit out it's called I want your stupid love...lol... Gee how creative and emotion provoking Music today sucks really bad. I Feel sorry for these young kids today who never heard this music. I can still hear the seeds rolling down the album cover...lol
God damn, I love how you can see how into the song Rob is, like he's really having trouble sitting still and just playing the piano. His legs are constantly moving.
Here in 2018...this is Rob Thomas at his finest...his song from last year "Pieces" is my fav song...btw been a fan since you started..Back To Good was my fav song for many years! xo
Man this song is fire i love robs music he puts alot feeling real emotions when he performs .I am a polynesian from new zealand loving rob thomas music the man
Saw them in the 80s at the Mullen center in Amherst Mass. They were amazing. Still love them and mourn the loss of the great. In live they had a horn section that was kick ass and I inever saw a show that sounded so much like cd live. Amazing!!!!!!! I'll always listen.
I absolutely love Rob Thomas voice. He sounds so true in this video. I hope to see more of you singing in 2023 and 2024. Thank you for a great performance. ❤❤❤❤❤
WOW!😀💃🙆👏🙌👏💃 THANK YOU, for literally transcending my being far above the perils and pitfalls of the earthly realm! Rob and his band mates are phenomenal and this performance first commands my full attention, then proceeds to take me away, from any trouble..come what may. Something so small as a song in the heart is the light for our darkest days and we shine our light, so bright...the darkness goes away...
It's crazy how there is a song for every part of everyone's life. Depending on the mood. Some great, some good, some bad. Tequila time anyone else. 2024!!!!
![Matchbox Twenty - Rest Stop (VH1 Storytellers) [Live]](/img/n.gif)
In my opinion, this is the BEST Matchbox Twenty song.
3am and Real World are great, and never fail to get me going. But, “Bright Lights” and “If You’re Gone” hit me on another level
@@NikoXC08 yes! I agree. If You're Gone is another favorite. Have you ever heard the acoustic version? I think it was VH1 Storytellers? Just beautiful.

@@NikoXC08 haha. True! That could have been it. I am seeing them all together in June. I am looking forward to it!
❤
Rob Thomas is one of the greatest live artists of all time
Word.
I love him
Great live, recorded, it doesn't matter! The Best! Saw him in Dallas Texas with matchbox, then live solo. Don't know which was beat, both were SO awesome!!!
It's real talent when they sound great live!
Ikr..you could play this an the album side by side and it wouldn't miss a beat.
Rob Thomas is one of the best singers of my generation he sounds just as good live. Hopefully he will get a hall of fame induction one day
ROB!!! THIS SONG!!! The piano. The singing. The guitar. The drumming. The bass. The band. The total performance
🔥✨FREAKIN EXCEPTIONAL!!!✨🔥
And the live version being as good as the album version?? Fantastic!!!

In my opinion…the greatest Matchbox Twenty song ever.
So true. To me, it’s one of the greatest songs of the 2000’s, period. it really is under appreciated.
My favorite too, saw them March 2023 in Vancouver they closed with it.
Over time, this song has grown to be one of my favorite songs overall period. Definitely their best to me at least.
Kody
One of the best and underrated musicians, song writers, and singers ever
Rob's piano composition skills and live playing singing with so much intensity is damn impressive.
Nice* well put#
Great performance. Back in the days when MTV was worth watching.
Yell man! Some one just had to
Really messed that all up!
This performance of Rob thomas is showcase of his immense raw talent of performing live and kicking asses !
Facts
He's one of those artist who sounds ever better live!!
Hi do know what year this concert was ?
One of the best "live" performances I have seen. And I am 67.
Holy hell, this is an absolutely blazing performance. Rob's a superstar *_musician_* who must hail f/a distant star system given his *_live performer chops_* ...

They sound as they are because nothing fake added in, their naturals.. there are very few..
I'm 99 years old, this is one of the most beautiful song I've ever heard! Matchbox 20 ROCKS.
What? That is the coolest post I’ve ever seen. I think you ROCK!❤

Two decades ago Bright Lights hit the music scene! Matchbox 20 really ruled with music like that!
Fuckin incredible performance. There’s a reason they were mega stars in their prime. So many hits.

They kinda saved my life... Went through some very troubled times but their songs helped me through them
Y esp. Back to good.
Same
This man is a performer. I’ve seen him live servers times over the past ~20 years. The man works. He never sells you short.

Awesome band!!;Every song they sing u feel something u connect somehow!!!
Rob Thomas is a musical god. One of my favorite songs
This song still gives me chills
It's a very rare talent to sound as good or better live as you do in the studio.
I saw them 1999 in a small venue but had never heard him alone with his piano until that night and I was just blown away.i liked Matchbox 20 before that but hearing him alone with his piano changed life as I knew it lol I fell in love with him as a musician and his true talent.Bright Lights will always be my favorite Matchbox 20 song
OMG one of THE BEST freaking songs by one of THE BEST bands EVER!!!
Right?! I come here atleast a week to lay in nostalgia
I had the biggest crush on him (back in the day) & still do.
This band, and especially Rob, will always have my heart. They do not get enough credit. Amazing.
Please get ahold of me....i know this sounds crazy...but someone is trying to reach u
...
His lyrics and voice are amazing then you throw in his live shows and you have a true performer who doesn't disappoint!
Saw them in early 2000's. Amazing. This man is so talented. ❤

MB20 always helps through the tougher times , 3am acoustic on piano just rob is one of the best will take ur heart anywhere
That's awesome . So happy for you two.
Rob Thomas is one of a kind.. this guy is a God amongst mortals... let that city spit you out for God sakes turn around...
When watching Matchbox 20 you feel them.....no higher musical compliment can be paid.....
Rob’s songs helped me get through many dark relationship days in my 20’s… one emotion is still stuck in Mesa, AZ. Miss her…
Bloody love Rob. Always puts an incredible amount of energy into his performances. Awesome musician and song writer. Hands down my favourite song of his and matchbox 20’s
Rob Thomas is incredible in my years listening to rock, all these new bands 80s 90s 2000, M box got it down.
I love this version. Matchbox puts on a helluva show !! 💜
This one and others from matchbox 20 were definitely a reminder as you tough through breakups. Looking back, I've got so many scares now, but I never lost my ability to love. This world has away of changing you, don't let it. At least not in a negative way!!!
One if not the best closing or ending of a lost love song I have ever heard. Top Marks for sure!!!
Loved this song when I was on the road. It kept me motivated to do my job and get back to my fiance. Years pass and my then fiance is now my wife. She sat by my side while I was in a coma. Waking from that slumber was the worst day of my life. Fought a funky depression for weeks. This song motivated me in rehab to walk again. Love this freaking song
You life in every song
Hey "kids nowadays" this is what you call a live concert. No autotunes,no shit phones flashing. God i miss these stuffs!
Perfectly worded.
I love your voice I'd love even more yo see you in concert
Frampton doesn't allow cell phone use during shows. Wish more performers banned them.

This song is dedicated 2 my beautiful brother & sister-in-law died recently from an Fentanyl overdose...I miss my beautiful brother & sister in law...✌❤🌎
One of the most passionate performers I've ever seen. And compassionate.
I have a chronic kidney disease which limits my activities. This band their music helps to fill my days with smiles and good vibes. Seeing them perform is on my bucket list
This was absolutely electric. Great build up ending with off the charts energy.
One of the best lyrics ever: "Some things in this world -- man, they don't make sense...some things you don't need until they leave you -- then they're things that you miss"!
Yes. You take them for granted till they are gone.
But sometimes that is the best outcome.
And yet some people think Matchbox 20 is lame. This band rocks.
He's so intense on the piano..wow. Brings back such great memories..
I am hooked on Rob Thomas and Matchbox Twenty! Would have loved to see you in concert! Stay Safe
Rob Thomas is so underrated. Amazing musician, even better song writer
Rob Thomas is very underrated
I don’t agree. I think most people know what a star he is!
One of the greatest live acts you will ever see
Saw him solo and with Matchbox 20 and I feel blessed to have those memories. What an incredible vocalist and song writer. Don't think he ever got the game he deserved. He is an all time great performer in my eyes. He sounds exactly the same in person.
My favorite song from Matchbox Twenty. This is the one song I would have loved to see an official video for, but this performance is awesome.
I saw them live a few years ago, and man they really brought it!! So much energy that night!! Definitely one of the best shows I ever saw live!!!
Someone should really recognize this bands talent and amazing lyrics
This is fukin beautiful, I could not differentiate between original and this one ! Rob Thomas is a genuine Rock star , he needs more praise !
Rob is one of the greatest raw emotion performers ever. I think he added some extra to this cause they knew they were filming, but, Ive also seen him live when they weren't. It's not much different.
One of the best performances of this amazing band! I love the energy on this song, especially the explosion at 2:31.
Love this song!! All of Robs songs r great. Magnificent voice. Remarkable!!!! Wow ‼️‼️👍😀😘
This band and Rob are all awesome! Love this song!
When he sings it's always a personal story that hits me and fits me 🙃
