I first saw Train in concert in 2006 and I loved every minute of it. This is exactly my type of music. It isn't too hard, yet it makes you feel pretty good about things going on around you.
I especially love Pat's acoustic version of Drops of Jupiter. I really like when they play that one on a show. There's something really honest about simple guitar pieces – it really shows off a person's talent, as it does with this piece by Train.
That said, it's also really fun when Pat suddenly whips out a megaphone to sing "I Got You". I like how they seem so comfortable with their music. The audience really got into it when "Save Me San Francisco" was performed. The audience was part of the song, and were made to sing part of the song. This was a really fun part of the show. The audience really got into the show at this point.
I went to my last Train show with a few people that weren't really familiar with Train, but as the show went on, they really seemed to be having a good time and getting into the music. You just couldn't help yourself.
Train have a way of just making you feel like you wanted to join in. I will definitely go to another concert by Train this year, they're touring pretty hard at the moment. I think the 'nonbelievers' that were with me would also immediately agree to going to another concert!
So good!!!!! Better than seeing them on The Farm at Roo! Cannot wait to see them again!! Their popularity is only going to increase especially with the release of their new album soon. Along with playing songs from their new album they played a few bold covers and absolutely nailed them! Their rendition of FAME is my favorite so far!!! There was so much pure & genuine energy as they played, which made for an awesome dance party!
I hope they make it to ROO again in 2016, I'd love to see them do more of their upcoming album; it was more rock and roll than their previous albums. & they do rock and roll quite well!
