Concert Photos & Review: Train, Jewel & Blues Traveler Rock Chicago
Train rolls through Chicago following the release of their first studio album in over five years.
Train's AM Gold Tour stormed through Chicago performing at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre in Tinley Park. Along with Train for the show were Jewel and Blues Traveler.
Blue's Traveler kicked off the night with an outstanding set which included "Run Around, Hook, Devil Went Down to Georgia and several other BT classics. John Popper and his amazing harmonica playing kept the crowd on their feet. After about 45 minutes, Blues Traveler left the stage with the crowd wanting more.
Next up was Jewel. She performed several songs off her new album "Freewheelin' Woman" which just came out in April. But the highlight of her set may have been when she brough her son Kase on stage to play drums for her hit "You Were Meant for Me".

Finally, Train took the stage with their newest hit AM Gold. The crowd was on their feet as the confetti cannons went off. Next was "Meet Virginia" with Pat Monahan wearing an Ernie Bank's Chicago Cubs uniform which he had the band sign and then threw out to the crowd. "If It's Love" was next with Pat taking selfies of himself and the crowd as people were throwing their phones onstage for him to use. The band then invited John Popper of Blues Traveler up for some CSNY and Jewel up for some ABBA.
Train continued to keep the audience singing as they played hit after hit. They finally ended with an Aerosmith cover of "Dream On" followed by "Drops of Jupiter". Once again, Train did not disappoint their fans. This is a must see show.
