I looked forward to the Daughtry concert on July 18, 2007 at the Pacific Ampitheater. The opening act, 12 Stones, was very good. Their puts one in the mind of Pearl Jam with a bit of Third Eye Blind thrown in for good measure. Included in their set was a decent cover of "She's Got The Look" and when they left the stage, the crowd was ready to hear Daughtry. However, the crowd would have to wait for over an hour, without explanation, before the headline act arrived.
Daughtry was in rare form when they took the stage at 8:40PM. Their live performance was excellent. I appreciated the quiet but passionate acoustic version of "Black Days." Without much fanfare, it exemplified Chris Daughtry's prisine, rich, resonate vocal range. "It's Not Over" and "Home" were well received by the crowd. I personally did not find "What About Now?" sappy, despite Chris' apology to the audience. However, after about seven songs and a single encore, the lights came up. My friend and I were left wondering, "Is that all there is?" A quick check of the time showed that it was 9:35PM. As a fan, I felt that we deserved more. Had their been more, I would have ranked this performance much higher.
Great, but Short Concert
