We just got back home from the show last night which was INCREDIBLE! My boys were blown away! This was their second concert (saw Hinder in February), but their first HUGE venue. Daughtry and the boys were electric! What a way to start the night. My boys are 8 and 5. They love all three of the bands that played. They requested these tickets for their birthdays in June. I was a little worried about having my kids on the lawn which was all that we could afford but it turned out wonderful. The crowd was great. The best part of the night was standing on the hill beforehand. We were there 1 1/2 hours early, so we saw the guys out by the buses. This was a treat for the boys (and not lying...mommy too...we left dad with the blanket.) Someone they love listening to on the radio and t.v. was right in front of them waving at them. Daughtry may think we are crazy, but for my boys it was a BIG deal. They went running to tell their dad that Chris waved at them. I had a hard time keeping up with them. The only bad thing about the night was the parking and prices. I will not go back to Verizon again unless Chris goes back. The set up was horrible and what is up with the $8.00 hamburger? I also had to leave without a shirt because even before paying $4 for a glass of water some moms cannot pay $40 for a t-shirt no matter how big of a fan they are. Small please to Chris and the guys..it takes a while to build up respect to demand changes, but once you do, remember the fans that yell for you and fight to get the prices lower on your stuff. I have supported Daughtry from the first day on idol by phone and I have 2 cd's, but money only stretches so far. Best of luck on the rest of your run. Cannot wait for the next album. Looking to see you live again soon.
Eli and Sam say last night ROCKED!
