Like I posted the other week, I went to the shows in Detroit and Cleveland and they were-- as always -- great. However, I did escape to the Erie show because the day before the show a ticket showed up on ticketmaster for second row center (behind orchestra which was two rows) stage --- perfect seat. Since few hours earlier it was not there, I knew it was meant for me to get-- I did and had a blast-- except for the no beverages past the lobby. How are you suppose to keep hydrated while singing. The girl for Jimmy that night was the most legitimate, devoted Jimmy fan -- Pat could not trick her. The junior Trainettes were great and it was amazing to see Pat's kids perform. It made it so much more personal to see him perform in his hometown. UNFORGETTABLE-- a whole week with TRAIN. I hope they come back through Cleveland or Ohio... on second leg of tour. The cd is great and I cannot believe the video is not in heavier rotation on VH1 or on the top 20 -- but when I see the losers that are (Britney, Gaga, that fireflies or butterflies guy, or Michael Buble??? Please!!... I would not want them to be evaluated with such rubbish). Oh yeah - and Miley Cyrus-- who sings about Jay Z in her song but does not know a single song by Jay Z!!!! I LMAO when I heard that. Please send people like her back to their planet of origin.

The show in Erie, PA was amazing!! Best parts were when Pat sang "When I look to the sky" without the microphone and "Marry Me" at the end. Best concert I have EVER been to!

i had a blast in chicago seeing train for the second time in less then 2 months i was the second person in line and ran into hector on the way to our hotel i think i scared him and standing in line i ran into scott and took a picture with him and the tour bus driver chris that was all great until so time and pat started to sing she on fire and i got pulled up on stage and had the time of my life up there and then i had the vip meet and greet that was awesome you could not ask for anyone nicer to meet then met up the friends by the alley and scott came out can talked for 10 min and i held he's water and then hector came out and then pat it was a very awesome night i would do it again in a heartbeat

I was at the Chicago show, even got to do a meet & greet with Pat and Jimmy through a contest on the MIX, local radio station. Pat and Jimmy were great - took pics and signed stuff, even though Pat wasn't feeling well. He warned us that he would be a C- that night. Well, I've seen Train four times before - 3 in Chicago and once in S.F. and I think this was the best show I've seen. Pat totally engaged everyone and you would have never known he was sick. I especially loved when he sang without the microphone. They also did one of my all-time favorite songs "Hopeless." I've always wanted to be the one Pat sings to when they sing "Save the Day" but this time he turned it around and had Jimmy sing to a girl. It was great! I'm still hoping to be the "Save the Day" girl one of these days...
Adding Uncle Kracker to the lineup was great too. It was the first time I had seen him and he rocked it. The venue sucked (the Vic) but their sound is good. I hate the general admission thing too and since we did the meet & greet, we couldn't really save a spot so we were stuck towards the back where believe it or not, people talked a lot. The Vic is too much like a bar, people in the back talk too much when some of the lesser known songs are being played. It was annoying! Anyway great show - and as always the Zeppelin and Aerosmith tunes were awesome! I can't wait to see Train again!

I was at the Chicago show, so the review and photos were great for me to see. Thanks for giving posting the link, guys! I have to say, I've been a Train fan for several years now, but this is the first time seeing them live, and I was blown away. I'll be at every show they play in the Midwest from now on. Here's hoping there's a second leg of the tour next year that will bring them back to my neck of the woods again. Thanks for the great music, guys. Please keep doing what you're doing, cause you do it so well!.

Re: Shar49rs -- I know I spelled assassin wrong in reference to Jimmy (and probably other words because I am tired). Please don't jump me.
