I thought their concert here in Virginia was unbelievable. Train came on first, they entertained the crowd, walked through the crowd and hugged and high-fived people all while singing marry me. They danced on stage, and brought people up to sing she's on fire. They involved the crowd, which is a major plus. Maroon 5 sang wonderfully and sang a lot of popular songs. They only involved one girl at the end of the show, but meh, again they sang good live and sang their popular songs. I also got to meet them backstage because I won meet and greet tickets right before the concert which definitely added to the experience, but even if I hadn't won them, I would've still loved the show. Wonderful men, all of them, and wonderful singers. Would see them again in a heart beat!! Also they're really nice in person.
This was the most amazing show my girlfriends and I have *ever* seen!!! Gavin DeGraw opened and was sooo awesome!!!! Train of course was great, and Maroon5 OMG!!!! Rockinest show ever!!! So full of positive energy Adam was electrifying!!!! I have been a fan of Maroon5 for forever and my bf got me tix for me and my friends as a gift and I did not know it was possible to love Maroon5 even more than I already did!!! AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME show and if they ever come back to Upstate NY we WILL be there cuz THEYWILLALWAYSBELOVED!!!!!
This concert was so amazing. Matt Nathanson opened up and was so energetic and really interacted with the crowd. Maroon 5 went on next and was FLAWLESS. They had the crowd on their feet the whole time and they went straight from song to song and hit all the big titles. Train was up last and paid so much attention to the fans. They did a cover of "Dream On" and Steven Tyler has never hit the high note as well as Monahan. Monahan signed so many autographs and brought so many people on stage through out the performance. You could tell that it was a concert full of performers who wanted to put on a good show for the people, not just themselves. Unforgettable experience.
This venue was fantastic and the concert overall was great starting with Gavin DeGraw. Maroon 5 took the stage and nailed their performance. They were technically and artistically sound. Train's performance was a disappointment. I was so looking forward to it, but found the show gimmicky and cheesy. Lead singer's voice gave out before the end of the show and lighting and sound mixing needed work. Hopefully they got it together by the next night's performance because they are a really good band.
Maroon 5 was great, as usual. Adam was very personable & involved the audience. He always makes the show unique. I hadn't seen train in about 6 years and they were wonderful. Clever sets and scenery. Pat has tons of energy and you can tell he loves what he does. They both sounded PERFECT PARKING; every time I come here I swear I won't go back because of the parking nightmare. But then my favs all play here =( . Took me an hour just to get out of the parking lot and to the 805 - bad news
I missed Gavin DeGraw, but not really. Wished I was living on the East coast, so I could see Matt Nathanson, along with Maroon 5 & Train. Maroon 5 jumped into it quite hard and fast. The last I had seen them was at SDSU and Bruno Mars and OneRepublic opened. The screen in the background had lyrics, miscellaneous splashes of color and hints of words from songs. Lights, a disco ball, green laser and strobe lighting set it up. But the vibrancy of the band and enthusiasm of the crowd was palpable and large. Maroon 5 & Train mixed up the setlist, some new, some old. M5 played all their hits but Shiver, and Also The Sun from Songs about Jane. Also, Adam Levine covered MJ's Man in the Mirror. Since it was their first concert in the tour, it was a loong transition from M5 to Train technically speaking. So Train could not offer an encore because of the curfew. Pat & Adam both pulled up audience members on stage. When I heard the opening chords to She's On Fire--I was thrilled. The girls were cute up there in their Train t-shirts. What a wired and rockin' night! D
Maroon 5 was amazing, their set list was fantastic and their stage presence was unexpected. The band was in sync, they had the fans on their feet for most of the show. We loved that they had very little downtime going right from song to song. Adam was adorable as usual and their choice to wear "Friday night whites" worked really well. Train on the other hand was unexpectedly disappointing. Their time management was way off. Their song choices were less than stellar. They sang more cover songs than their own. The crowd was not responding so they started pulling little kids on stage and running through the crowd. Very sad to say, we did not enjoy their set. Love their music, but not their concert.
Maroon 5 was awesome as always.. wished it was their concert.. Didn't know they were opening up for Train. Don't get me wrong, I still would have got my tickets to see Adam Levin & the boys from Maroon 5 in their Friday Whites! They are always my favorite band to see!
Great concert! All played fan favorites and had excellent lights and video....the only down side is the traffic in and out of this venue........I would think by now, they could get it right....PLUS I had bought VIP parking, which could only be obtained "will call", and they did not have me on the list, so I had to pay $20 again and go to the ticket window to get the parking ticket and then return it to the people at the entrance to the VIP lot to get my money back........
This a must see concert of the year! Both bands put on such awesome performances. If they ever come back to San Diego again I would definitely buy tickets.
Show was excellent - both Train and Maroon5 put on a great show. However those people who might be coming to see Gavin DeGraw were probably disappointed. Gavin started his show at 7:15pm but the week before Live Nation sent out an email to all ticket holders saying the showtime had been put back from 7pm to 7:30pm so I am sure a lot of people arrived late. Whoever is responsible for that mess should apologize to affected fans.
I felt like I was a little mislead regarding this show as I am sure most of the fans were as well when Maroon 5 opened for Train. Nobody was expecting that. All promotional materials gave the impression it was Maroon 5 with special guest Train. So that was very disappointing. Gavin and Maroon 5 were great. Train was ok.
Well, Gavin Degraw was soo good! And MAROON 5 was FANTASTIC!!! My third time seeing M5 and I'm never disappointed.. They are amazing. But TRAIN. WAS DISAPPOINTING, The four of us left after about a half hour after they began...Dylan had a hard time hitting the notes and it was getting very late.. Lots of people were leaving early! But MAROON 5 is a mist see!
This Concert was truly Amazing, The 3 Bands complement each other so well, As a extra Graduation gift for my daughter who just graduated High School, I got us tickets to the Concert.... Did I score! We had such a GREAT TIME! We danced and sang to every song, No generation gap with these 3 Bands....
Loved all 3 acts...Gavin DeGraw, Maroon 5 and Train. They really did rock it. Wish they would've had better coordination with the screens on the left and right side of the stage.
Great Show!! Wish there had been an encore with Train and Maroon 5 playing together. Otherwise, really great.

First of all, we received an email notification on July 16 that the concert was starting at 7:30 instead of 7:15. There was a MASSIVE amount of traffic. We decided to pay for premium parking, which put us in an even longer line to enter and FROM OUR CAR OUTSIDE THE PARKING LOT we heard Gavin DeGraw come on stage and start singing by 7:15. SOOO UNFAIR!!!!!. Premium Parking was a rip off as it took you further away from the exit area. Heard last 2 songs of Gavin as we RAN to the lawn. Maroon 5 was terrific, although we couldn't figure out who was the headliner....Train is my favorite band in the world. They took almost 40 minutes to come on (Maroon 5 finished at 9:40 and Train didn't come on until after 10:15). Right away I could tell Train was OFF, especially Pat. No sparkly, energy, smile. Poor, blank transitions between songs. It just wasn't there. We felt really pressured to leave early because we hear horror stories about how long it takes to get out of parking lot, so we left at 10:50 and didn't get to hear all of Train, but later got TWEET apology for no playing ENCORE due to lack of time. Surprised at how unprofessional this production was.

I saw Maroon 5 last night in Chula Vista. They were incredible. Adam said he would give a money back guarantee on the performance, for any other band that would be ridiculous, but for Maroon 5 the skill and craftsmanship Adam, James, Jesse, Michael, and Matt displayed for a packed audience last night just shows that this band has what it takes to make such confident claims. I have been to many concerts, but none of which have I ever encountered a lead vocalist that delivers such consistent strong vocals. You get exactly what you paid to see, Adam was not out of tune or pitch once. The band really took there time in choosing a great set, comprehensive strobe work, and solos that will blow an audiences mind. They managed to stay humble the entire night, constantly thanking the audience, including us in their show, encouraging participation, and even serenading one lucky fan. Overall, Maroon 5 has made a dedicated follower out of me, and regardless if you like Maroon 5's music or not, they pack one heck of a show, that will please any music lover. Best concert I've been too.

A very energized and captivating show. I was thoroughly impressed with Maroon 5. I never new that were that tight and explosive as a live performance, Train I have seen many times and have always enjoyed their shows. It was the 1st time seeing Maroon 5 and am looking foward to seeing them again in the future. I recommend any one of the two bands as a fun night filled with great entertainment.

These are two of my most favorite bands! I loved listening to their old hits as well as new music from their new albums! I love Adam and Pat and was very impressed with how well they performed live. I wish I could have been on stage with Train to become a trainette, but I moved too slowly! I would definitely go see both of these bands again because Adam and Pat are super funny and I love the way they dance around! :)

I have seen Train 3 times before and I think around 10 for M5 & this was my best yet!! Both acts were at their best! Train interacts a lot and sounded amazing (as always) and Maroon 5 just sent chills!! Don't miss this concert! Have seen them twice this tour and have 1 more to see next week in Maryland! I can't wait!!

The show started out with J.P. Morton, who was filling in for Gavin DeGraw and I felt he did a great job warming up the crowd for an almost unknown artist. Now I should say I went to this concert because I became a fan of Adam Levine when he was on the Voice. I do like Maroon 5 songs, but I would never call myself a die hard fan, and I knew a few of Train's songs so I went to this show hoping to be fully entertained. Train came out and everyone was on their feet, and the entire time they were on stage I was entertained and I was texting my friend's telling them I am now a fan of Train and need all their CD's. I felt train made use of all their technology, using the big screen behind them the entire time they were on stage, mostly to give up close camera shots, and believe me being in the 40th row I appreciated that because otherwise I should have just listened to the cd's. Train really PERFORMED and let the crowd know they appreciated them. When their performance was over the girl next to me said, " That was really good!" and then I said to her, " I kind of feel bad for Maroon 5, I don't know how they will top them." Then she said , "Yeah I forgot there was another act." Well with that being said Maroon 5 did not top them or even come close, I say this because Maroon 5 sounded good, but the concert direction was horrible!!! They only used the big screen behind them just for graphics no camera shots, the whole time I kept thinking I came to see Adam's pretty face and from the 40th row all you see is a guy with dark hair walking all over the stage, it could be anybody. Finally on the last song of the night they used the camera in black in white. I could not believe it!!! The last song!!! There was a guy in the parking lot that payed for preferred parking that basically got the same show as I did.( He sat in the parking lot and listened rather than buy a ticket maybe he already knew this). I will not sell Maroon 5 short they did sound incredible but for the most part I could have listened to my ipod or a cd for the same result. Train was so awesome!!!

I was a little disappointed that Gavin Degraw had to cancel, but PJ Morton did'nt disappoint as an opening act. As expected, the main event (Train and Maroon 5) were both incredible. I wasn't a huge Train fan before the concert, but after seeing them I definitely can consider myself a huge fan. As for Maroon 5, I was a big fan before the show and an even bigger fan after. Overall, the concert was amazing and I would definitely see both bands again!

Would recommend as a must see concert. Though Maroon 5 is the headliner per se...we were more entertained and felt part of the Train performance as oppossed to the Maroon 5. Love Adam but didn't sound as good as Paul nor the energy! Thanks for a great show by all nonetheless.

Long time Maroon 5 fans, first time M5 concertgoers, my sister and I went to the show in Hershey, because shows at closer venues were not an option when I purchased the tickets. Unfortunately, it rained all day, so the conditions were not ideal for an outside show. The space at Hershey seemed oddly used; the show was held at a stadium, but rather than use the stadium space and seating we only got the tiny end which consisted of a very wet hill. Even in the rain, the park lights and still operating rollercoasters provided a nifty backdrop for the bands. Gavin DeGraw was not able to perform at this show, and he was replaced by a band that I did not know, but we missed most of their set. Train was amazing. I wasn't into Train at all prior to this show. The band seemed to be really into what they were doing, the lead singer involved the audience whenever possible, he came out into the audience despite the wet conditions, and they took full advantage of the screen on stage which showed snippets of home videos they made and song lyrics, that clearly took effort putting together. The band covered a couple of old songs and even performed Rihanna's "Umbrella", which was cute since we were all standing in the rain. It was a helluva show. Maroon 5, however, did not get as into the performance as Train. The music sounded very good, but it sounded different than the songs do on the radio. It made singing along difficult. I got the impression that Maroon 5 definitely viewed their performance as a job, and not as something they enjoy doing. Overall an awesome experience.

This show was amazing. Gavin DeGraw cancelled because of an injury and the band, PJ Morton replaced him. I could have done without them.....definitely not my type of music. Train completely stole the show though!!! What fabulous entertainers!!!!! This was my 2nd time seeing Maroon 5, and once again, they didn't fail me!!!! Both bands were incredible....it was almost a 4 hour show....definitely worth the 2 1/2 hour drive from Pittsburgh to see them!!!!!!

Gavin DeGraw did not perform due to injury and PJ Morton filled in. Thank you for getting the crowd started. Get well DeGraw. Maroon 5 played all their hits getting the crowd up on their feet, singing along and have a great time. Adam Levine has an amazing voice and never fails to deliver. The band is incredible. Train continued the great evening playing their hits and again getting the crowd involved. Patrick Monahan serenaded the crowd with "Marry Me" as he walked through the aisles. Again, the band was unbelievable. Both bands got the crowds involved in different ways, but kept the music going and the night flew by too quickly.

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!! This was one of the best concerts I've been to. Opening act was Matt Nathanson.....wasn't sure who he was at first but when he (they) started playing, I knew! I really liked them. Train was Awesome. This is the third time I've seen them. Keep getting better each time :) LOVE Pat. Maroon 5 was amazing. This is the first time I saw them. Adam Levine has sooo much energy, he really got me going!

Honestly, this concert was so amazing. I kind of recently started liking both bands, so I decided to buy tickets. & now I'm obsessed with both. Especially Adam Levine, omg I love him. Maroon 5 came on, everyone went crazy. They played hit after hit. Making jokes. Didn't really come off stage or anything or take off his shirt /; Then Train came out, and they were amazing! Pat Monahan brought about 15 "trainettes" on stage and made them dance and sing. He signed shirts and beach balls and threw them in the crowd. Both bands kept throwing guitar pic's and drum sticks. I caught one of Train's guitar player's pics! Pat sang marry me and walked around the whole perimeter of the place. He also went a little country during She's on Fire, I loved it. I love Maroon 5 way more than Train but I have to say Train definitely outdid Maroon 5. Wish they were doing the same tour next year! But, if there's an upcoming concert for them close to you then .. GO! You will seriously regret it if you don't.

The concert with Train/Maroon 5 was fantastic. We had great seats - one level up from orchestra in the center. Bonus was Matt Nathanson, which we did not know was performing. THe best was when Pat Monahan went into the stands and all around the theater. He was inches away from us. Maroon 5 was good but too loud. They played nonstop to the end and then came out for enxore. Overall, the concert was worth every penny spent!

although i love maroon 5 and have been waiting on pins and needles to see them again since last year - and i've never seen train before, they were good - but none of the ushers at the venue knew who was performing first - we got different answers from at least 4 different people (that was the only drawback of the night).

Concert was awesome, but Adam seemed tired or more serious/preoccupied. Saw him last year and then he was more energetic, funny and connected with the croud. They were filming the show and he seemed to play up to the camera more than the croud. Did the meet and greet was a little disappointed the band members were seated and we were moved along quickly. All of the other band members were gracious and approachable. Pat Monahan was animated, inviting, and totally interactive. Lots of fun. Should have met him instead.

I bought $100 nosebleed seats to see Maroon 5 and Train at Foxwoods Casino (thinking it wouldn't be worth it to sit real close). I was so wrong! This was the most interactive and fun concert I've ever been to. Adam Levine had everyone get out of their seats and crowd up closer to the stage so we could "feel the love", which was awesome. Then he called this girl onto the stage because it was her 50th Maroon 5 concert. He sang "She Will Be Loved" sitting next to her...I would have died! Then Train had like 30 girls on the stage dancing and wearing "Trainette" shirts (just randomly picked from the mosh pit). During "Marry Me", Patrick Monahan walked through the crowd until he found this guy (who apparently contacted the band ahead of time), then the guy proposed to his girlfriend on the big screen. Patrick goes, "She said yes!", then just burst back into song and ran onto the stage. The show lasted about 3 hours too, so I definitely feel like I got my money's worth!

From the beginning of the gorgeous but hot summer night -Gavin DeGraw, Train and headliner, Maroon 5 were all digging the energy at the Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden, NJ. All the artists were feeling feisty and proud to be by the water on this evening ... willing to give the crowd what they came to hear...quality music under the stars. Patrick Monahan's connection to the crowd was classic as he got the "Trainettes" rocking and his tour around the SBC during "Marry Me" was full of spirit. Adam Levine was in great form as well. His voice was tops and he was working so hard that I lost count at who needed to change their clothes more frequently on this hot summer night, Adam or Patrick. The crowd was ready for what ever the bands were dishing out. The New Jersey vs. Philly crowd rivalry was almost as intense as at a Mets vs Phillies game as Adam was not sure if the venue was a Jersey or a Philly mindset. He found out it was 50/50! He should know better bring this up having lived in New York but I think he liked getting the crowd involved. As usual, SBC was the perfect place to be for the music.. the only thing more annoying than having to show your ticket every 20 feet to a concert staff person was paying $6.00 for popcorn or lemonade not to mention the cost of the booze (or $25 to park). Come-on guys. Give us a break. Our whole family had fun and enjoy the song selections. Nobody left disappointed especially with concert T-shirts in hand. Lucky kids! As Gavin said many times at the end of his set, Thanks for an overall great time at SBC

Gavin DeGraw opened the show with a very good set, including his new single. Then came Train... they were amazing! Could have watched them for the whole night. Maroon 5 closed out the show, they were pretty good, although Adam Levine sounded like he was screaming out the songs. All in all, a great night!

This is the third time I've seen Train & they were great but the pairing with Maroon 5 AND Gavin DeGraw really made the show. I thought those 3 made for an amazing night! I went into the show just knowing a few songs from each but can't stop singing M5, went & got a bunch of mp3's from all 3 of the acts! I especially enjoyed the lighting - moving lights & images/videos projected were very well done.

This was my first concert ever and it has set the bar wicked high for future concerts I will attend. Gavin Degraw was okay. I only heard 1 1/2 songs of his because I had a hard time getting through the traffic. Train was AMAZING!!!!!! I absolutely LOVED how Pat really incorporated the audience into the performance. They played all of the classics plus songs from their newer albums. Maroon 5 was good, but not as good as Train. Maroon 5 is more rock and roll verses Train who is more pop than rock. Maroon 5 practically played for an hour and half straight. The last song they played was She will be loved, and Adam split the audience right down the middle and had the right hand side sing one part of the chorus and then the left sing other part. Words really can't describe how neat it really was.

I've been following Maroon 5 and Train for a while so I knew they'd be great, add Matt Nathanson and it was a perfect night. Now I've got another performer to look forward to seeing again. You know a performer's good when hearing them on the radio after a show is a buzz kill because they were even better live than on their CD. He also was very personable after the show when signing CDs and taking pictures with a long line of his fans.

The Cruzan Amphitheatre holds 20,000 fans. This was not taken into consideration when you chose to perform outdoors in the hottest month there is in southern Florida. Inbetween hot humidity it rained and my wavy hairstyle turned into wet stringy hair. Since my picture was being taken with Maroon 5, my disappointment and embarrassed attitude affected my ability to relax and enjoy the concert; especially when there was not a breeze to cool us down in the heat. This to me shows poor management on the touring schedule of Maroon 5. Hopefully, in the future, you will schedule Maroon 5 in the winter when they come to these southern states that have hurricanes and hot humidity. The bands were great but no one likes to watch performers drowning in their sweat.

Wow! What a great concert! Maroon 5 was just amazing! Very in melody and of course played all their hits, but along with that played a lot of their new stuff from their current CD. Adam sounded great and had fun dancing around the stage making sure that every fan got a good glimpse of him. Train was surprisingly much better than I had anticipated. The singer made constant direct eye contact with fans, and had about 30 women that he invited to go up on stage with him. He talked to the audience and got everyone interested in the music. He even walked through the crowed during one of his songs and let the fans touch him. He was very sweet and had a great voice and even did a fun dance. Maroon 5 is such a great band that there is no way you will want to miss this concert and the added blend of Train is icing on the cake. Also Matt Nathanson was a great way to start the show!

I was happy to hear Matt Nathanson- I knew his radio hits but nothing else. He's such an adorable character that I bought his CD the next day not being able to get him out of my head. Maroon 5 came out after.. which shocked me! I was expecting them to close the show, but either way I enjoyed listening to Adams voice and dancing in my own little world. I get very attached with their songs since I've been listening to them since I was about 8 years old (now 17). Even though I'm not a huge fan of Train, I knew a few songs and found myself singing along and having a blast. They were very interactive with the crowd which I loved. The only thing I wished for the concert was for Maroon 5 to have more stage time- I felt like their time was going by so fast! And even though Train did an excelente time it dragged on a little. Also a lot of OLD Train fans weren't dancing around as much as I hoped. Overal the whole night was an amazing last day of summer!

They brought the house down!! I was very happy to see that they were the headliners and not opening for Maroon 5. Maroon 5 was also very good, but did not compare.

The Maroon Five and Train concert was fantastic, the music and fun went on for hours! With the great New York state fair going on there was lots of fun to be had before and after the concert! Both of the bands rocked, they played excellently with much ethusiasum along with Gavin Degraw!

Mostly everything about this concert was awesome! The venue is in a really good location. The opening act, Matt Nathanson, was great! I will be checking out more music from him. And ofcourse Maroon 5 was incredible, as usual! They really know how to put on a good show. And Train was very impressive. This was my first time seeing Train live, and I was not disappointed! They sounded alot better than I thought they would. Ofcourse I love their sound on their CD's, but alot of people don't sound the same live as the do on their cd. But train was awesome. And I really liked how they were alot more involved with the audience than anyone I've seen live before. That was cool. I hope Maroon 5 and Train tour together again, They are really great together!!

Matt Nathanson opened up. Not only does he sound great, but he was funny, too! He did a couple covers, like "Tainted Love," and did them well. He played his most well known song, "Come On Get Higher," as well as songs off his new CD. Maroon 5 came on next. They have such great energy and sound just as great in concert as they do on the CD. They played all the older favorites and some of their best from their new CD, Hands All Over. Lead singer, Adam Levine, and guitarist, James Valentine, played the hell out of those guitars. I had no idea Adam Levine could play that well. They are easily my favorite band, and their performance was nothing less than perfect. Train finished the night with an equally high energy performance. Lead singer, Pat Monahan, danced all over the stage and made a trip out into the audience. At one point, they brought a group of girls on stage, including a little girl with cancer with what Pat described as "the most beautiful energy" he had ever seen. They ended the night with "This Ain't Goodbye," and Pat informed fans that they would be back in the studio right after the tour. Overall, amazing night!

I have been a huge fan of Maroon 5 since their first single in 2002 and have followed their career VERY closely. It's pretty close to an obsession. Of the many times I've seen them, this show was really good but it pains me to say it wasn't fantastic. Maybe it was because they are co-touring with Train and time was limited but it seemed rushed. They didn't play as many songs as past shows; didn't take a lot of time between songs to connect with the audience; they only came out for one encore. Not to mention, Adam was a little flat on a couple of songs. :( On the upside, the music was dead on and sounded fabulous!! Again, it was a really good show but not mind blowing like prior ones I've seen. Please don't misunderstand, this won't dissuade me from seeing them again ... I'll pay top dollar every opportunity I get, but this one was mildly disappointing.

Matt Nathanson taking time to sign autographs and take pictures afterward was so epic! He was excellent live, and I was excited to buy his new album afterward to learn more of his music. Train was perfect; Pat's voice was almost better than listening to the album, despite his loss of voice the day before. The band was so fun of energy, and the crowd participation was exciting. When Pat came down around the audience, I simply touched him and was enthralled. :) As always, Maroon 5 was fantastic! Adam was dripping with sweat by the second song, and every other band member was overflowing with 'oomph' and love of music. It was a contagious energy flow. Jesse jumping up and down, James flipping his hair, Mickey jamming, PJ rocking the organ, and Matt going insane on the drums. I will never forget this concert! I can NOT wait to see them again!

The concert was incredible! I'm a HUGE Maroon 5 fan, and went solely because of them. They did amazing as usual! But I also got the privilege to enjoy Matt Nathanson and Train! Pat Monahan was great at interacting with the audience and put on a great performance!

You can't get much better than a stellar opening act and two headliners such as Train & Maroon 5. Both bands did a complete set, including encore for each, and rocked the NYS Fair Grandstand. The sound was impeccable, stage was amazing, and both bands were beyond entertaining. Such a great show!

Gavin DeGraw and Maroon 5 were good. Train was AWESOME! They put on such an amazing show. Everyone was singing and dancing and there were people of all ages. It's so great to see a group like this that reaches to all ages. There wasn't anyone at the show that didn't have a great time!

We arrived a little late....due to the Hurricane Irene preparation. We missed Gavin Degraw (I was a little upset). We made it inside for the 2nd song of Maroon 5. They ROCKED the Arts Center!!!! I was not aware of how much of a FAN of Maroon 5 I am!!! WOW!!! They were awesome.....such energy!! I haven't enjoyed a band like that in a long time. Thanks guys!! As for Train....I'm sure they were awesome as well. However, I couldn't hear so well since we had to move to seek shelter from the rain. Overall, my family and I had a wonderful night!!!

Opening Act: Gavin DeGraw-- got the crow involved by playing hits as well as new songs. Next, Train came on. Super high energy. Headlining Act: Maroon 5. Saw them two months ago and that was an amazing show. This was an over the top, killer performance. Can't wait to see any of these acts again!
Train puts on a wonderful show -even if you're not up close. Biggest drawback was the lack of seat enforcement at the venue. Between the obstructed view seats and the children changing seats to get closer, it was very hard to see the show. The side screen was completely washed out by the spot light on the Sign Language Interpreter. All in all, a great sounding show, but I could have had this experience for $20 at iTunes.
The Maroon5/Train concert was absolutely wonderful. This was my second time seeing M5 and i love them.I was not as excited about Train but they blew my mind!! They put on an amazing show,very interactive with the crowd.
I have been to many concerts and am also a musician, all I can say is what an outstanding show. The musicianship of all groups involved was top notch! The sound was fantastic and it was just a great experience! No offense to Train because they were great, but I think Maroon 5 should have been the headliner. Thanks To all for making it a night to remember!
The opportunity to see both Train and Maroon 5 was too good to pass up, and both bands lived up to our expectations. The lighting and effects were fantastic and the music was outstanding.
Train, Maroon 5 and Matt Nathanson was a wonderful concert! The performers were amazing and they engaged the crowd! Had everyone participating and it was a lot of fun! We really enjoyed the crowd! Although there was alcohol served, the crowd was mostly families and young people not old enough to drink. Unlike the Def Leppard concert, there wasnt anyone smoking pot all around either! I would bring my girls back to see any one of these performers!
We went primarily to see Train, who I've seen before, but left loving Maroon5! Train was really good too! Maroon5 was great! Much more of a rock/guitar sound live than the pop sound on the radio. Both acts were high energy and enjoyable. Matt Nathanson was good but needs to build a song list.
Maroon 5 was very good!! Train's portion of the show seemed a little disjointed (the Trainette thing has run it's course!!) and also seemed shortened due the 11 PM "cut off" at the venue. I'm a huge Train fan and have seen them in a number of venues -- while the whole concert was good and very enjoyable!! ... not my favorite Train show.
Matt Nathanson, Maroon 5, and Train were all awesome! They played a perfect mix of old and new songs, so I knew everything they played. I never stopped singing along. I loved the atmosphere of the concert, because even though I had a lawn seat and was far away from the stage, I still felt like I was a major part of the show. The tickets were inexpensive and I didn't know what to expect, but this concert 100% exceeded my expectations. I would see each one of these performers in concert many more times! Overall, it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to!
I missed the opening act, but heard Matt Nathanson wrapping up his set while I was walking to the venue. He sounded great, I'm sorry I missed him. Maroon 5 is one of my favorite bands. I have not seen them live since 2007 and it was worth the wait. I hope it's not that long before they make it back to Texas again though. Their performance was terrific, they kept the crowd on their feet through their whole show. Train's show was equally terrific. They were energetic and sounded incredible. I have never seen Train live and after this show I will definitely be a regular at their live shows. Maroon 5 and Train were a perfect match to co-headline a tour. LOVED the shows!
I love Adam Levine!! I didn't know he played the guitar like that! He should play more in his music video. I was happy to see PJ Morton playing for him (That boy can sing and play the organ SWEET!!) Overall the show was good #thumbsup. I will definately look out for their tour next time.
We may have missed the first part of Matt Nathanson but it was still a great night! Maroon 5 started it off great and Train really ended the night on an amazing note! Our throats hurt after the concert and our voices were gone the next day! I could not ask for a better band mix for a concert!! I would go to another one if they had another schedule.
