\"temptrain\"On Friday, June 14th the\u00a0Goo Goo Dolls\u00a0and\u00a0Train\u00a0along with opening act\u00a0Allen Stone\u00a0performed at the\u00a0North Island Credit Union Amphitheater in Chula Visa, CA. I thought their performances were filled with positivity, high energy and great musical talent.<\/p>\n

After\u00a0Allen Stone\u2019s\u00a0performance, which was a great way to start off the evening, the\u00a0Goo Goo Dolls\u00a0took their place on the stage. They are an American Rock band that formed in New York in 1986. The current members of the band include guitarist\/vocalist Johnny Rzeznik, bassist\/ vocalist Robby Takac, drummer George Tutuska, guitarist and backing vocalist Brad Fernquist, keyboard, guitarist and backing vocalist Jim McGorman and drummer and percussionist Craig Macintyre. Some of their well known 90s hits include \u201cIris<\/em>\u201d \u201cSlide<\/em>\u201d and \u201cSympathy<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

They ran on to the stage and immediately starting playing their well known hit song \u201cSlide<\/em>\u201d and as soon as the crowd heard the initial lyrics of this song, they started to cheer and many stood up and started to dance. All the musicians had strong stage presence and the bassist\/vocalist Robby Takac was running, dancing and jumping on the stage while playing the guitar which was entertaining and cool to see. They played many of their well known hit songs for the audience to enjoy along with some of their new compositions which were appreciated by the audience as well.<\/p>\n

After another brief intermission, the American rock band\u00a0Train\u00a0which currently consists of lead vocalist Patrick Monahan, bass and vocalist Hector Maldonado, guitarist Luis Maldonado, keyboard and guitarist Jerry Becker and backup vocalists Sakai Smith and Nikita Houston appeared on the stage. They immediately started to play with a high level of enthusiasm and energy. Their opening song \u201cCalling All Angels<\/em>\u201d got the audience cheering and standing up dancing and engaging in their performance. Along with great music,\u00a0Train\u00a0also included many fun theatrical elements into their performance such as cannons shooting off confetti and streamers as well as fireworks sparkler lights shooting off in their opening and closing songs which I thought was really fun. The lead singer Patrick Monahan connected with the audience as he chatted with us throughout the performance and it was also clear to see his emotion and love for music, singing and performing throughout. During the song \u201cMeet Virginia<\/em>\u201d the guitar solo performed by band member Luis Maldonado was also impressive.<\/p>\n

Train collaborated with Allen Stone and the Johnny Rzeznik from Goo Goo dolls at a few points during their performance. They performed a cover of the Queen song \u201cUnder Pressure<\/em>\u201d with Allen Stone and Johnny Rzeznik performed with\u00a0Train\u00a0to pay a nice tribute to Tom Petty as they sang a cover of \u201cAmerican Girl<\/em>\u201d.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

After leaving the stage, the audience kept cheering, so\u00a0Train\u00a0came back to play a few songs in an encore performance. The final song in the encore was the grammy winning song \u201cDrops of Jupiter<\/em>\u201d which had the many people in audience singing along.<\/p>\n

Both the\u00a0Goo Goo Dolls\u00a0and\u00a0Train\u00a0brought their greatest hits and new music to the performance with great enthusiasm. The musicians and the audience all shared in their passion for music which I thought made for a fun and positive show.<\/p>\n
