Train brought their "Mermaids of Alcatraz" tour to the Comcast Center on Saturday night 27th July with opening acts Gavin DeGraw and The Script.
Though the band was quite good and lead singer Pat Monahan worked the stage well, it would have been an even better show if the band had used the large screens set up in the back of the stage a bit more. At times they were black, with nothing on them, and at other times they had small flashing lights. It made it seem like the tour was a low-budget production instead of a show for a Grammy Award-winning band.
The Script utilized the small amount of stage they had available much more than Train. Lead singer Danny O’Donoghue and guitarist Mark Sheehan even had a bit of a contest to see who could chug a beer the quickest. “The show will go downhill from here,” Sheehan said, adding that if the crowd could still see them on the stage then they “weren’t drunk enough.”
The best part of the show was that all three acts interacted with the crowd. Monahan, O’Donoghue and DeGraw each came down into the crowd during their set at least one time. They performed from different points within the crowded Comcast Center and gave the venue a more intimate feel. Monahan sang “Marry Me” as he walked around and greeted fans, while The Script’s O’Donoghue ran down the aisles and let fans sing a verse to one of the band’s songs.
