Train the comeback!

     It was my first time to enter Araneta, now named Smart-Araneta Coliseum.  And coincidentally, it was also Train's first time to perform at the coliseum as well.  I was really thankful that Orange Magazine TV.Com gave me the opportunity to experience a chance of lifetime care of my good friend Jeman Villanueva.

     This is actually their second concert, Pat (Vocals), Jimmy (Guitarist), and Scott (Drums) sang Shake Up Christmas the first one was last June 18, 2010 at the Alabang Town Center.  Unfortunately I wasn't able to attend it since I didn't had money to buy the tickets, so I was really happy when Jeman said that he was giving away his ticket.  So last December 7, me and Angel met up with her friends Alex and Ms Earth to watch their show.  They had 6cyclemind as their front act who sang 3 songs.

 

      After their performance, the lights were turned off.  Then suddenly... the echoing sound of a train was heard.  Then crowd suddenly started to stand up as all were ecstatic and was thrilled to see them.  And so they sang their first song... and everybody just went wild as they sang and danced along the song.  The band was so full of energy that most people didn't mind standing up all through out the concert.

      Train had an astounding performance and had great interactions with the crowd as well.  Some even had the opportunity to get a shirt from them, a hat, guitar pics, etc...  During their song Hey Soul Sister, they invited 10 women to the stage and they showed of their dancing and singing skills, their price, a guitar signed by Pat.  Other songs they played was Calling All Angels, Drops Of Jupiter, Don't Stop Believing (where he called two women from the audiences to sing along with him), If It's Love, their song for the coke commercial Shake Up Christmas, and one of their all time favorites... Marry Me, were Pat actually went around the area while also wishing the couples around to keep on loving each other.

      Hopefully they have the same energy level all through out their show just like what they did.  Kudos to Train for being such a great band.
