Train's Pat Monahan talks to Billboard's 'Behind the Setlist' podcast about picking songs for the band's sets on tour with REO Speedwagon.
If you see Train perform live, odds are the last song is going to be “Drops of Jupiter,” the hit single from the band’s 2001 album of the same name.
“When people hear it, it becomes sad because they know that that’s the end ,” singer Pat Monahan tellspodcast. “But we’re not gonna play something after that song. That song means the world to me for a lot of personal reasons, and it was a big song around the world.”in 2001 — the band’s second-best chart performance behind “Hey Soul Sister,” which went to No. 3 in 2010. On Train’s current tour with REO Speedwagon, fans are likely to hear familiar songs rather than deep cuts.
“The Train fans loved it,” he says, “but I don’t think it’s right for a tour with REO Speedwagon, you know. Because when they step off stage, people will have heard 35 hit songs.” In most of Train’s July shows throughout the Midwest, Monahan and his four bandmates — Locke, bass player Hector Maldonado, drummer Matt Musty and guitarist/keyboardist Jerry Becker — have been opening with “Calling All Angels,” the leadoff track from the 2003 album. It’s a well known song for sure — “Calling All Angeles” reached No. 19 on the Hot 100.
When picking from Train’s vast catalog, Monahan thinks like a fan. He recalls a tour with Ben Folds Five, which had a hit in 1997 with the song “Brick.” “They’re a great band,” says Monahan, “but they avoided playing ‘Brick,’ because when they played ‘Brick,’ which was their hit, their fans got disappointed. And when they didn’t play ‘Brick,’ I got disappointed. I grew up wanting to sing along to the bands I loved, and so I don’t want to take that from Train fans.
