Train & The Black Widows

Facebook does it again!!

A few months ago, my friend Robin posted on her FB that Train was coming into town and she would love to go if someone had an extra ticket. I piped in that I'd willingly take a ticket too. So instead of just waiting around for someone to invite us, we decided that we'd get our own tickets and make a girls night of it.

It was great! We had dinner downtown at Joe's Crab Shack (which was fabulous!).

We made sure to leave enough room for some really yummy carmel cheesecake.

We walked from Joe's to the Ryman (which is just as beautiful as you'd imagine.... I love the architecture and interior of such an old, historic building). We got there just at Butch Walker and The Black Widows started their set. For a band I've never heard of, their music was really good.

Robin and I waiting for Train to come out

When Train finally came out, it was insane! The energy in the crowd was amazing and since it's such a small auditorium, it felt very intimate as well. They sang some of their new songs that I love (Save me San Francisco, Soul Sister, Marry Me) as well as some of their old hits (Meet Virginia, Calling All Angels, SuperMan, I Look to the Sky). They even threw in a Van Halen song!

Isn't Train amazing!?

The last time I saw Train in concert, I was 6 months pregnant with Brennan and they were opening for Matchbox 20. No one had heard of them at that point, but everyone knows them now. And just for future reference, at the time of this concert, Train's single "Hey, Soul Sister" is #3 on the Hot 100 and the #1 downloaded song on itunes.

Thank you Robin for such a great evening~ It was an AWESOME!!
