Back to Good (the whole song!) Matchbox Twenty July 9, 2011 at the Pechanga Casino

This is one of those songs that everyone loves and for good reason. It's a gut wrenching song that really demonstrates the range of this wonderful performer and I'm so glad that I was able to capture it in its entirety.

You know the words, so I'm not putting any lyrics.
*On a personal note, I did have to elbow quite a few blonde punch drunk 50 year olds in leopard prints to get this because no one gets between me and a great shot of Matchbox Twenty.

Allow me to explain, people kept sneaking into section B and sidling by the people in that section pretending to "take just one picture", but they would take the picture and then take residence in the aisle! Before you know it there's 20 people and they're acting a fool and ruining the night for the people who legitmiately had a right to be in that section. I told several people, "uh-huh, you're not meant to be here. I didn't drive 4 hours to get here to look at the back of your head. Get back to your seat".

SPECIAL Thanks to the Pechanga Public Safety staff who attempted to clear the aisles from those trolls who kept sneaking and pretending not to hear anyone tell them to leave. Ladies, you're 55, you're wearing far too much makeup, spilling your wine on everyone with your new Steinmart duds and 4 inch platforms. You try that again at the next concert, you'll get more of the same from my group: a talkin to and an escort from security.

Sorry for my english :/

[MichelleWritesSings]

@Swe3tSacrific3 you're very welcome! How lovely Argentina? Yes I do hope that next year we all can see them on tour.....

your English is just fine! I used to teach English as a Second Language here, so great job!

[Seasonchange1]

I hope they would start touring around the U.S. soon!

[MichelleWritesSings]

@Seasonchange1 me too....unfortunately, not til next year! :-( There was supposed to be a wide scale tour this year, but alas Pechanga was the only date they played.

[MichelleWritesSings]

Heaven help me....I love his expressions. Nodding of the head and the expressions that say, 'can you believe this? Man, say it isn't so."

what a great show last night! Thanks for posting!!

[MichelleWritesSings]

@ljames62 you're welcome. Anytime! I was glad that I was able to capture it fully because he was going all over the stage. If you like Matchbox, I have some great Rob Thomas videos that I also uploaded today from the Gibson. Cheers and thanks for commenting!

@Swe3tSacrific3 amazing!!! Rob Thomas live?!? what a TREAT...sings with his soul><

[BLFulle]

I've never seen them live but I hope to one day. This is a really nice video but your personal note comments are offensive. I can imagine you were frustrated but do you really need to mock people? Someday you will be 55 and so will I. I think we'll both see we have a right to wear to much makeup, get drunk & be annoying just like younger people. Bitch knows no age limits. I'm not saying they should ruin things for everyone just don't insult others in return. Older people are still people.

Man, check out Mr. Yale back there. (though, yes, of course Rob was awesome) This is an amazing performance and thank you for capturing so much of it so well!

I was here and he talked to me from stage!! I was number 11 and the ladies that were doing that were all drunk and annoying... And I was 2nd row and I'm only 11 so I couldn't see for a quarter of the show :(

[Seasonchange1]

@MichelleWritesSings ...Thank you for the information. Can't wait to see them. :)
