5.0 out of 5 stars
MB20 up close and personal, November 4, 2002
This review is from: VH1 Storytellers - Matchbox Twenty (DVD)
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!

It's called Storytellers for a reason!, January 26, 2005
This review is from: VH1 Storytellers - Matchbox Twenty (DVD)
It's called Storytellers for a reason! This DVD is Matchbox Twenty and specifically Rob Thomas telling the stories behind some of their greatest hits up through their Mad Season album. This is a wonderful music DVD plus you get the added benefit of hearing the inside stories on some of your favorite songs. And Rob Thomas is just so endearing and cool. You just can't help loving this band. The highlights for me were Push and Rest Stop. And a cover of Lonely Weekend and a country version of Push are great fun. I highly recommend it.

Great Stuff!, June 30, 2003
This review is from: VH1 Storytellers - Matchbox Twenty (DVD)
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.
