Taped at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia on June 28, 2003, Matchbox Twenty's Show depicts a hard-working rock band in its prime and in its element. The full spectacle of Matchbox Twenty's More Than You Think You Are tour comes across, from the band's world-class lights to its lock-tight playing, recorded and mixed for 5.1-channel surround and shot in gloriously film-like high-definition video under the direction of Hamish Hamilton (Madonna, U2, Jennifer Lopez).
As on record, Matchbox Twenty's acute sensitivity to pop dynamics carries the day, showcasing drummer Paul Doucette's propulsive attacks, lead guitarist Kyle Cook's vocals and fretwork, and the soulful belting of lead singer-songwriter Rob Thomas. (The less said of Thomas's occasional piano playing, the better.) The concert itself is free from interview footage and other distractions, and the 45-minute documentary included on disc 2 is candid and focused, revealing the effort required to mount and execute an arena tour.
Dolby Digital 5.1 is the best way to hear the concert, even if you collapse it to stereo, as the Dolby 2.0 tracks are marred by matrixed SRS Circle Surround 5.1 encoding. The presence of the SRS processing is confusing, given the superior Dolby-only sound and the broad household penetration of Dolby-based AV receivers. Alas, there's no DTS surround mix (as advertised in print) or CD-quality PCM stereo mix. --Michael Mikesell

This DVD really highlights several things for me (as a newbie of this band):
- Rob Thomas is a truly soulful, emotional singer with an astounding vocal depth who is able to rock the stadium with his strong, gritty voice, but also to bring tenderness to the simply brilliant "If you're gone" track with Kyle on the guitar
- Rob Thomas is a truly remarkable songwriter who is able to convey simple but meaningful themes of every day life in songs through melodies and words that just work!
- Kyle Cook's guitar skills are up there. You can see he really knows what he's doing, and he sounds awesome.
- Paul Doucette is a real creative powerhouse, and his vision for the lighting for the concert really made a difference to the vibe and enjoyment of the show for all.
- Adam Gaynor and Brian Yale were the other band members, but apart from playing their respective instruments during the concert, I could'nt tell what other contributions they made.
Overall, I really enjoyed this DVD. The music from their CDs really came alive with this performance for me. Rob clearly can sing live, not like some artists who are less than impressive outside of a controlled recording studio.
Kudos to Matchbox Twenty. Long live Matchbox Twenty.
The second disc is kind of neat, you have all the lyrics from the concert displayed in a nifty manner. You can change the camera angles from 6 different views on, "Bright Lights" and "soul", which is kind of neat, you can focus on each member of the band, and watch them in action, instead of watching "just" Rob Thomas, not that, that is bad ::winks:: Oh and the Photo Gallery, which was nothing to write home about, they could of done without that section.
The Documentary was alright, I would of liked them to focus more on each member of the band, and maybe do a biographical kind of thing..they mostly showed and explained how they get ready for a venue, how they prepare, and they showed their tour busses. All in all, I think the DVD is worth your while. It's almost like a "Greatest Hits" package with a ZING! Enjoy!
Thankfully though, my doubts were ruled out as minute by minute of the film rolled on. The visuals are spectacular, with editing that fits the paces of the song really well. Personally, I didn't see a problem with the sound, but maybe the volume was up a bit too much.
The video was successful in placing me front and center (and closer) to a great Matchbox Twenty concert. I almost got to go to the concert on the film (Atlanta), so having missed it I am extremely glad that the director did such a fine a job of catching the feel of one of their live concerts.
I'd already decided this worthy of a five-star rating, but on top of the show itself I also enjoyed the documentary, or behind the scenes of the show (which is where most of the explicitness is.) This is located on Disc 2.
In summary, if you're a fan then it's a must like it was for me; however, it is still one of the best representations that people will get of Matchbox Twenty so I'd say it's just a good buy for the music lover/concert watcher in general.
The second disk with the documentry is insightfull funny and surprising, and its a good length giving you lots of behind the scenes stuff, and its all very well packaged a great all round product go get it!!!
My main grime/complaint about this is that the person(s) at the mixing board for this DVD had some strange desire to play with the volume of the audience. Throughout EACH song, there is this artifial raising and lowering of the volume of the audience as though certain parts of the song unleash a level of hystery from those attending. If you notice it, and have trouble tuning it out, it can be very annoying. It just sounds so bogus and so fake. I just visualize a guy at the mixer, sitting there playing with the volumes.

Rob Thomas (意外と良く喋る) の声は安定して芯が通っており、また、バンドの姿はひとつのチームといった印象で好感を持ちました。
"Blight Lights" - "Bent" - mc - "Unwell" の流れは特にぐっと来ました。この作品はこの部分の MC がカットされているのではないかと思います。だとしたら、うーん、勿体ない。良い場面なのに。
この北米版はリージョン 1、欧州版はリージョン 2 をサポートしながらも PAL と、一般的な日本市場のプレーヤーでは見られない、というのが本当に惜しいです。恐らく CD より魅力がダイレクトに伝わる部分があり、インパクトのある作品だからです。欧米と比較して日本ではいまひとつ認知度が低い感のある彼ら (主観) ですが、この作品にを見ればより多くの方が惹き付けられるのではないかと思います。リージョン 2 をサポートかつ NTSC の盤が発売されることが切に願われます。
