We drove from SE Michigan to see the show. Had heard from a friend that Train puts on a great show. When I saw that Ed Sheeran was part of the bill as well, it was a no brainer. We had recently seen Ed at another venue in Chicago a few months ago.
Train was energetic and put on a great performance, despite the shortened set they had due to Pat's voice not being up to par.
It was clear from the audience's reaction, that they were mostly there for Ed. He definitely is a talented singer, however not as personable as Train.
I really liked newcomer Tristan Prettyman. Her song "Trader Joes" cracked me up. I would have liked to have heard more than 4 songs from her and possibly heard less of Karmin (sorry, not a fan at all of their music, although they were interactive with the audience).

Favorite moment: When Pat Monahan (Train) invited 40+ girls onto the stage for an entire song and then gave them all t-shirts and took photos with their cell phones. @
