Went to Vegas to see Bon Jovi but became an instant fan of Daughtry, GREAT performance.

Going to Vegas to see Daughtry was a huge investment (my husband and I are school teachers), but it was worth it. This was our second Daughtry concert and it was depressing only getting to see the band perform for such a short amount of time. We left the concert talking about how we had seen Daughtry just a couple of months before in Phoenix and how the band went from playing a small club to playing in Vegas, opening for Bon Jovi. What a dream come true for you guys! I won't lie, I had hopes that Bon Jovi would have Chris come out on stage and sing "Wanted: Dead or Alive" with them, but I guess we will just have to settle for the amazing rendition that you did on American Idol. I wish we were as lucky as some other fans to have had VIP passes or close enough to have gotten such nice pictures, but like you, it was a dream come true for us to see you guys up there performing with Bon Jovi!

Keep Rockin and God Bless!

Much Love,

Crystal and Mike

Of course, I would have loved for Daughtry to have done a complete set, but I was not entirely surprised that they did only 6 songs. I had been invited to TJ when it was only BonJovi performing, so seeing the band added was an exciting and delicious bonus. I felt sad when I saw Chris performing to a half empty arena, with people casually strolling in to their seats, and him not even up on the giant screen. But then I changed my mindset. This was an extremely prestigious event for them. To be the opening act for BJ and part of the Tiger Jam Charity weekend is really unbelievable for a new band. I'm sure the guys were well aware that the majority of the people were there to see BJ. Most tickets were sold well before Daughtry joined the bill. Chris was excited to be there and said so from the stage. Naturally, they rocked out. Short but sweet!!! When BJ started to perform, I thought, wow, this is where Daughtry will be after a bigger body of work and many awards!!!! I totally, completely, enjoyed the BJ concert. I hope to see Daughtry many more times, but I won't ever see BonJovi again. Jon was completely at ease in talking to and engaging the audience. This is what I want for Chris. I believe he will hone his already considerable skills and will become more conversational as his comfort level with large crowds grow. As we all know, Chris is special, and this past year has been a glorious start to an enduring career.

I was fortunate enough to be a VIP Tiger Jam guest. I was so overwhelmed with excitement when it was learned that DAUGHTRY was going to open for Bon Jovi. Even though DAUGHTRY only got to be on for 30 minutes it was 30 minutes of sheer ROCK and the best 30 minutes anyone could experience. I was on a 'high' because I'd just won the DAUGHTRY signed electric guitar in the silent auction being held for Tiger Woods Foundation. I look at it as an investment in my grandchildrens future. Here it is:

I added some pics in the forum..
AWESOME SHOW! I was SOOO PROUD for Chris and Daughtry opening up for Bon Jovi. Like Chris said HE NEVER THOUGHT at the AGE OF 27 he would be opening for BON JOVI!
I am a BON JOVI FANATIC so to have DAUGHTRY on the bill is an EXTRA BONUS!
FABULOUS TIME!! VEGAS ROCKED!!!

"I was blown away, what could I say"... Awesome energy -just wished you could've played a little longer!!!!!

Came to Vegas just to see ya'll

Chris, you CAN believe at age 27 you DID open for Bon Jovi!

so sad none of my pics came out

Bon Jovi can convince Daughtry to come to New Jersey for a show or two. That would be awesome!!!

I've got my concert tickets and plane tickets - leaving Houston on Friday-
ABSOLUTELY CANNOT wait - saw you in Houston and it's time again!!!!!!!
sounds like everyone here feels the same way about ya'll - wish we could ALL meet you, but we really already have, through your great music!

So fun to see the band last nite on AI - --

M Ruff

Will you be playing WITH Bon Jovi or just opening for them? My friend is going to see Bon Jovi and told me you were added as a special guest. LUCKY THEM! Have a great time in Vegas Baby!

I know it says that there is no VIP entry in Vegas, but I thought I would try anyway!! So here is my entry!!!
I really want to win! So if by any chance you change your mind, I would love to meet the band!
Thanks!!

I have been a fan of Bon Jovi's since 1983.
I now like Daughtry more than Bon Jovi.

I got married in Vegas in November of 2006, and I was there for only 3 days.
I would like to go back with my husband to Vegas, to enjoy Daughtry!

My husband and I are HUGE fans! I Would love to surprise him before he's deployed again in November. Toni

I would love to go and bring my friend who is winning her battle with cancer. We are both fans!!

I have a 45 Minute commute to work each way, I BLAST the Daughtry CD everyday! I blew my speakers!

OK here I go again, do I need to beg this time? I will if you want me too, just come on and pick me, you won't regret it, I promise.

VIP for three would complete the perfect getaway! Girlfriends+ Rock-n-roll+a week in Vegas = a dream come true!

DAUGHTRY - PASSION & EMOTION,
EVERY SONG - OUTBURST OF EMOTION.
VEGAS IS MY ONLY CHANCE,
TO BE ABLE TO GET A GLANCE!

Winning VIP would mean I'd died and gone to heaven. You might have to call 911!

Will go anywhere to see you & the band! Love you guys.

Daughtry in Vegas...I'm a criminal lawyer...you might need me just as much as I'd like to see you!

We are dying to go!!! Where can we find tickets? My daughter and I have been searching since the website first came out to find tickets to anywhere we could possibly get to, and have not been able to find any, anywhere close enough...until the posting of the Vegas show. Although, I can not seem to find where to get tickets!!! PLEASE let me know where to get them!
THANKS!

#1 Daughtry fan

Chris, you were so awesome in Sacramento, CA. We were so close to you, so to be a VIP next time would be the chance of a lifetime ! My husband & I thought your concert was the best we've ever been to & we are in our forties, so we've been to many!! We listen to you everyday. We took some amazing up close pictures of you in Sacto & have them hanging in our bar now. Oh yeah, and if you heard, I was the crazy fan who spent $400.00 on e-bay to get tickets for the Sacto show !! I had to, there were none available any where else. Please pick us!!!!

Just give it to me because I love you guys......and of course Vegas, how much fun could we have together.......Good Times

I can't believe you're going to be in Vegas on 5/26 - I'm arriving on 5/27 and haven't been able to attend any of the local shows in Central Florida!!! PLEASE schedule more shows in Vegas!!!

I absolutely cannot remove your CD - it's all I listen to. Everyone that I have turned on to your music can't believe how rockin' it is and listen to the whole thing from start to finish.

PLEASE PLAY ANOTHER SHOW WHILE YOU'RE IN VEGAS!!!!!!

Elsa, if you are looking for tickets to Tiger Jam, I have two that I am selling, at face value. Section 207, Row E, seats 15 and 16.

Let me know if you are interested.

DAMMIT! I'm going to Vegas May 31st....It sucks that I'll miss you guys in Sin City!

Peace, love and DAUGHTRY!

CANT WAIT!
This is the show of my DREAMS! 2 AMAZING BANDS ONE STAGE.
I am soo excited just that Daughtry is getting the opportunity to open for one of the best bands of all times! I am so proud at how far Daughtry has come.
Been a fan of Bon Jovi from the beginning, and a fan of Chris since his first AI appearance! I do own the AE cd, which is great.
I can not get enough of the Daughtry CD. Its my escape from the real world and lately I have needed to escape alot! HOME means so much to me, and inspires me to want to go HOME! Its myt heme right now!
I am so proud at the success the band is having!
Counting down the days until this AWESOME SHOW! and GREAT CAUSE!!
I AM SOO PROUD OF YOU GUYS!

Ok, all I can say is Chris and his band in Vegas would be the best! What a great time! I love their music! Finally some good rock. I hope my husband will surprise me and buy me tickets to Vegas. What happens in Vegas that night is diffidently leaving with me. Sorry Vegas!

I am really hoping to win as this show is shortly after my 40th B-day on 5/17 and it would be just about the best gift I could get, and a good chance to show off the new tattoo I will be getting in a few days!

Thanks, you are the best!!!!! There is never a day your cd is not in my player.
