Matchbox Twenty concert, with Matt Nathanson opening

On Sunday, I saw Matchbox Twenty at the Concord Pavilion, with Matt Nathanson opening.  It was a great show.  Matt Nathanson closed with the one song of his I remember, and Matchbox Twenty played a good balance of stuff from throughout their career, which of course has included a couple of extended hiati from recording new material.  In addition to pretty much all the big hits, they played a good balance of deep tracks and stuff from the upcoming new album.  I have two clear favorites among the deep tracks (All I Need and Parade), and they did both of them.

I was sitting kind of far back, so I didn't have a great line of sight for taking pictures and videos, but I did the best I could.  I found out the next morning that someone I know whom I haven't seen in person in 20+ years was at the show... too bad I didn't realize this earlier, we could have said hi.

Matchbox Twenty setlist:

1. a new song I didn't recognize, probably "Friends" (from the upcoming album Where The Light Goes, 2023)
2. How Far We've Come (from Exile on Mainstream, 2007)
3. Real World (from Yourself Or Someone Like You, 1996)
4. Disease (from More Than You Think You Are, 2002)
5. Wild Dogs Running in a Slow Dream (Light)
6. She's So Mean (from North, 2012)
7. All I Need (More)
8. Queen of New York City (Light)
9. Hand Me Down (More)
10. If You're Gone (from Mad Season, 2000)
11. Mad Season (Mad)
12. Don't Get Me Wrong (Light)
13. These Hard Times (Exile)
14. The Way (North, with Kyle Cook on vocals, as it is on the album)
15. Parade (North)
16. Bent (Mad)
17. Back 2 Good (Yourself)
18. Long Day (Yourself)
19. Rebels (Light)

Encore:
20. 3AM (Yourself)
21. Unwell (More)
22. Push (Yourself)
23. Bright Lights (More)

I know this was a year ago, but this concert was so amazing! I was at the Chicago one. I plan to see them 2 more times this year at some of the festivals they're playing at. I'm a huge matchbox twenty fan for 20 years, love them so much.
