Matchbox Twenty Concert
Feb. 25th, 2013 11:55 pmSo, been a while since I've posted and all I really have to say is that Matchbox Twenty puts on a really good concert. They've been one of my Dad's 'I really, really wanna see them' bands. I think it consists otherwise of The Eagles. I've wanted to see them, too (though my shortlist involves Mumford & Sons, Fun., and also the Eagles).
But, yeah.
They were pretty cool.
Concert started at 8, but they let us in at 7:15 - bought a t-shirt and this cool USB wristband thing that gets you an .mp3 of the show. We'll see how that works tomorrow. Seats at 7:30, and the opening act, Phillip Phillips came on. Not really sure what he played. Five songs. Two I didn't know (research says they were A Fool's Dance and Man On The Moon) Then he did a cover of Thriller, which, lol. Then a slow song that was really good (and research names that as Where We Came From). And then he started in on this weird jazzy version of Home which eventually turned into the regular version. He was off by 8:30, and they were all set up for MB20 by 9.
And, well, they played a ton of songs. Started with Parade, then Bent. Disease and She's So Mean. How Far We've Come, 3 AM, Real World, Girl Like That, and then If You're Gone and Overjoyed. From there, All Your Reasons, Long Day, I Will, Unwell and a mash-up of Radio with a medley of some other songs anf then straight into So Sad So Lonely. From there - English Town, Rest Stop, Bright Lights and Sleeping At The Wheel. They encored with four songs: Our Song, Back To Good, Ch-Ch-Changes (Bowie cover), and they ended with Push just after 11. It was a really good show. Got lots of pics, too. Made it home by 1145 or so. :)
