Does a band whose entire oeuvre at the time consisted of just two albums deserve the same relatively prestigious showcase previously granted to the likes of David Bowie, the Pretenders, and Elvis Costello? That's certainly debatable; then again, perhaps this is what you get for appearing on a gazillion-seller like Carlos Santana's Supernatural, as Thomas did. In any event, Thomas is a personable, garrulous fellow with a distinctive voice (familiar to all from Santana's "Smooth") and some pretty good tunes ("Push," "If You're Gone"). And make no mistake about it: this is his show, as the other musicians (including a horn section on several numbers) barely get a word in edgewise. DVD bonus features include a music-only option and one additional song. --Sam Graham Description: Platinum hitmakers Matchbox Twenty hit the stage and tell the tales for the groundbreaking VH1 series, "Storytellers." Starting with their 1996 debut, "Yourself or Someone Like You," Matchbox Twenty has built a devoted following that continues to grow with each new record and tour.

 Rating:  - Simply Awesome, simply MatchboxThis DVD really impressed me because the DTS sound capabilities blew me away. You could close your eyes and imagine you were there in the audience with Rob Thomas doing what he does best with his vocal instrument, with Kyle doing what he does best finessing his guitar, and complemented by orchestral support. Matchbox Twenty are an impressive band, whose music from their 1996 and 2000 albums don't ever date, even playing it now in 2007. Rob Thomas is the most talented singer/songwriter of ...

Its like your in the room with them. The songs are crisp and clear. As a Matchbox Twenty Fan you really need to own this. Rating: - Rob thomas, the Elton John/Billy Joel of our generation...This is the earliest performance I remember watching of Matchbox 20 and I was mildly interested at the time, but AC music wasn't the coolest to listen to, so I just enjoyed it in passing. VH1 was playing it a lot back then! Fast forward a few years, MB20 are the hidden tracks on your fave AC radio station and worth listening to. So last year I snatched up this DVD and it became such a warmer and better performance. Watching it now, Rob's humor and self-depracation shine thru ;) and make ...
