Please welcome Pat Monahan of Train.
Good evening.
My name is Pat Monahan and I sing in a San Francisco band called Train.
And tonight, I'm here to live out a lifelong dream of mine to induct the heart of San Francisco music into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
I am talking about a band that has 19 top 40 hit singles, 25 gold and platinum albums, a greatest hit album that is diamond and a half.
That is 15 million albums.
For those of you who are new to the world of music, we may never hear those words again.
They have sold over 50 million albums in the U.S. alone and 100 million globally, making them one of the best-selling bands of all time.
I love, along with you all, that this is the first time they've been put on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ballot.
And that's all it took for them to be recognized for the great work they've done.
Once upon a time, there was a Bay Area guitar player called Santana.
He was smart enough to build an incredible band of talent around him, Neal Shawn, a 15-year-old prodigy on guitar, Greg Raleigh on keys and vocals, and Ross Valerie on bass.
In 1973, these three, along with a few others, formed a jazz fusion project called the Golden Gate Rhythm Section.
In 1974, they added Ainsley Dunbar on drums and changed their name to Journey.
After several albums on Columbia Records, they made a shift in their musical direction and added the Central [N] California tenor Steve Perry to the lineup.
In 1978, Dunbar was replaced on drums by jazz virtuoso Steve Smith.
Solid record sales and hit songs started to become a regular occurrence at this point.
In 1980, Greg Raleigh decided to leave the band and recommended the Baby's keyboardist, Jonathan King.
Now, I love every incarnation of this band, past and present, but this, my friends, is when, as the kids say, shit got turnt.
Hit album after hit album, after biggest rock song in the world, after even bigger ballad, after humongous success and stadium tours,
this band from San Francisco changed the face of music, radio, and live performance around the globe.
[Eb]
It's because they've touched the hearts and souls of every [N] one of us in some way.
Their music has transcended all things that separate us as humans.
Don't stop believing.
Well, now we won't.
Faithfully.
Oh, oh, oh.
Or how about na, na, na, na.
They didn't even need lyrics.
That's how badass this band is.
To think that we get to hear these amazing songs tonight from this incredible band is blowing my mind and soon to blow all of our minds.
I'm just a kid from western Pennsylvania.
I moved to San Francisco because the song Lights made me think that maybe I could fit in there and be someone.
This band changed my life.
They changed the trajectory of many lives in positive ways.
And positivity, that is what they built the journey foundation on.
Their music, lyrics, their attitude to the conversations they've had with their millions of fans around the world, including me,
and the way they continue to carry that positive light around the world, no matter what might try to bring them down.
They weren't afraid to be romantic and hold women in high esteem.
They weren't afraid to create songs that made us actually feel good.
I don't believe in guilty pleasures.
You either like it or you don't.
And I have loved this band my whole life.
It isn't just my honor to induct these gentlemen tonight.
It is my appointed duty to induct the heart of San Francisco music into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
And it's about damn time.
