Seems odd now that this one didn't make it to the blog sooner. Here you have Matchbox Twenty touring for their sophomore release, Mad Season. I enjoy their early work much more now than I did back then. When Rob Thomas talks about his songs, a repetitive theme is he wants each one to have meaning to the individual listener. That seems to be the way it has worked for me. Throughout the years, these songs have become increasingly meaningful as I've had another twenty-three years to relate to some of them.
I remember thinking when the Columbus Dispatch review of the show came out, how unfair I thought the reviewer (who I knew back in the day) was. Still seems a bit harsh.
I had a chance to catch their tour for their fifth studio album, Where The Light Goes, in Tampa a few days back, which led me to post this one from the archive.
Anyway, like them or not, you can listen if you want.
