Rob Thomas kicked off his North American Chip Tooth Tour last night (May 28) in Red Bank, New Jersey at the Count Basie Center for the Arts. The six-week trek is Thomas' first solo tour in a while, but the "smooth" rocker killed it for his first night!
His 18-song setlist carried only three songs off his newest album, Chip Tooth Smile, and the rest was cherry-picked from his past efforts like ...Something to Be, Cradlesong, and the Great Unknown.
The first Chip Tooth song opened the night up - "I Love It," and later in the set he performed "Can't Help Me Now" and "One Less Day (Dying Young.)
Thomas also performed two Matchbox Twenty songs during the set - the first being "If You're Gone" and then later on a stripped down version of "3 A.M." which was followed by a cover of David Bowie's legendary song "Let's Dance."
Thomas offered an array of his best solo hits like “Mockingbird” and “Lonely No More.” The set ended on double bangers "Fire on the Mountain" and "I Am an Illusion."
His three-song encore fired off with crowd pleasing hit "Smooth" and ended on "This is How a Heart Breaks." Check out the setlist below!
