On October 22, 2007, Matchbox Twenty paid a visit to Google’s campus in Mountain View, CA. This was one of their first performances in support of "Exile on Mainstream." Rob, Paul, and Kyle performed 5 songs for the Googlers, plus answered some Google and non-Google related questions. We’ll be posting a new portion of the performance each week over the next 4 weeks – enjoy!

Absolute MB20 fan!!! Why, oh why, is Paul Doucette out in front now. I liked it better when Rob and Kyle made up the vocals and neither of them tried to "outshine" the other. Drummers are all like that though. Please make him stop singing and stop acting like a retard on stage and off...(I remember when he hurt his hand on the trash can in Atlanta).
Very nice - looking forward to the rest of the series.
Great videos, this is a cool site. Already bookmarked it. Love when the guys perform their acoustic stuff.
Can't wait for more to come... hey, it's already may 14th... *waits for How far we've come* :)
Thanks so much for all your hard work....you bring me joy with your music.....you guys did a great job here! Can't wait for more!
Wow ok guys those videos are so great!
I wonder if you will remember playing in West Lafayette, Indiana around 1997. It was at the Slater Slammer at Purdue and you were amazing. I was 13 years old and you guys were my first concert! I have been in love with your music ever since. Keep the videos coming!
MB20 is the greatest band. Your music has helped me go through so many situations in my life. I've been to two different concerts and hope to go to more. I can always relax when I hear any song you have. "back 2 good" takes me back to so many places and just makes all kinds of memories come back. Keep up the awesome music and the inspiration that you give us all.
Amazing as always, but does that surprise anyone? Can't wait to see you all live again!
Love ya!
Leah

Hey!!
You guys are have always been consitant with every new track you bring out. Consitantly fabulous!! I even have my 3 year old son singing along to your songs - his favourite song being "All Your Reasons" and he sings 'Bah Dah Dah Dah Bah Bah Bah Bah Duh Bah' at the top of his lungs.
Thanks for your brilliant music and the awesome concert in Adelaide (at which all the excitement bought on false labour with my second son hehe).
Look forward to hearing more great songs in the future...
Cheers,
Kat

Love Matchbox! I think it was only two years ago that I figured out that when girls sigh about matchbox, they weren't talking about my son's car collection.
Amazing..Saw u guys live in Manchester in May. I can't believe how such a talented band can never even get a single into the top 40 in the UK. I don't understand how you're not popular over here, because you are simply the greatest band in the world. Come back soon
Mike
I have been in total love with these guys since i first heard their sound in the mid 90's. Every time they come to PITTSBURGH i have been there, but, NO 'BURGH concerts this time around.Sighing sadly...
This 'problem girl' ain't just 'one more hand me down' living 'just three miles from the rest stop' with my dog 'kody', i spend my time 'night swimming in my diamond dress making small circles move across the surface', 'thinking and dreaming' of Rob...
I'm a big fan and bought tickets to your Auckland New Zealand concert for myself and my two 20+ sons (for Christmas and then had to count down the days till April),what an amazing bonding experience with my boys..they bought me a Tshirt and lots of drinks (Jim and Coke)...well we rocked all night in the 8th row and we swear to god that Rob looked at us...thanks for the amazing time...best concert I have been to in years we actually EVER...am still buzzing all these month's later. Love you guys...
Awesome. Totally and completely fanfreakentastic awesome. You guys rock and I love your music.
you guys are awesome you need a drummer bad though
WHEN WILL YOU VISIT THE PHILIPPINES? PLEASE DO A CONCERT HERE.
Excelente videos !..
Posibilidad de que vengan a Chile ??.
En America tienen muchos fans :).
Saludos. !
I saw MB20 at a private show in Vegas at the HP conference. At 49 w/ kids I don't get to concerts that often, so this was a treat. The band was AWESOME ... as they played each song I realized I knew almost all of them and suddenly realized how many great songs MB20 has written. I can't wait until they come EAST (Pru-Center or PNC) ... I will certainly go!

PLEASE.
you guys should play forever, saw you in London in May and it literally took my breath away, there will never be another band in the same league as you guys!
You guys ROCK. My daughter and I have seen you in concert together every time you've gone out on tour. It's been a true mother/daughter bonding moment for both of us. Your music is shear and utter genius. Keep the music coming...
I'm a 43-year old mom with a 3 year old at home. The concert at Knochti was just what I needed to feel like a 20-year old again. Thank you Rob and MB20 for your humility, your genius and your spirit. I echo another comment that these videos help to relieve the post-concert blues. I do wish there were a live album, because your spirit comes through so much better live than the polished studio recordings.

Love ya
I love music you make...Please, come to Lithuania...:)
Love ya guys.Look forward to more awesome shows. Rook On!I love listening to Robs voice.Love your voice.Love all ya guys.
You guys are absolute legends, and the only people in this world that keep me sane. When I am stressed,etc, your music is the only thing that calms me down.
(It's quite funny watching people running around loooking for my MP3 player so they can shove the earphones in my ear for instant calmness). Your music has helped me through many difficult stages of my life, and for that I am forever in debt to you. Keep up the awesome work, and please come to Australia again soon as I still haven't had a chance to see you guys live. Stay safe, love your families, hope to see you in concert soon. (Rob, say hello to your mum, I'm sure she is a very special lady).
Please reupload disease live it was very good.
These videos were fantastic! I'm upset that they won't let you post your own work on the Web. Please re-upload them if possible!
You guys are fabulous!
-Chris
