This DVD is awesome. Not only is the concert incredible, but the documentary is hilarious. These guys are hysterical. Be sure to watch the special features. Oh, and be warned-they do drop the F-bomb quite a few times...The show starts with "Cold", a rocking song with amazing guitar and excellent vocals. Matchbox Twenty goes through their most popular songs, from 1996-2003, and they obviously have a great time doing it. Rob Thomas, the lead singer, has powerful vocals and an amazing talent for piano. He sits down at the piano a few times during the show, but most of the time he's bouncing around the stage being exuberant and fun. This is one of the the greatest bands of our time, and this DVD certainly shows it. I highly recommend it. :)

Filmed at Phillips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia on the tour supporting their third studio album 'More Than You Think You Are', "Show" captures the original Matchbox Twenty line-up (rhythm guitarist Adam Gaynor left the band shortly after the tour, a development that saw drummer Paul Doucette move to rhythm guitar thereafter) in fine form, and at the peak of their powers.
A brilliant set list, pulling hits from all three of their albums to date, with brilliant versions of '3am', 'Push', 'Real World' and an absolutely searing and epic 'Bright Lights', that features frontman Rob Thomas on piano, and lead guitarist Kyle Cook hammering out a solo atop that piano. To be honest, there really isn't a bad song on this release, and Rob Thomas is an engaging frontman.

I will ditto what another reviewer had to say: The concert is awesome and the behind the scenes documentary is hilarious at times. Really enjoyable film to watch. Of course highly recommended to Matchbox Twenty fans.
It's interesting to watch them on the buses - funny some of the things they do to pass the traveling time. Lots of joking, some serious moments but not overly intense or dramatic - they keep it light/fun.
They perform some of their best songs for this concert so fans will not be disappointed with this concert. The band is at their best - really a kick butt concert.
10/10
