This was the MOST amazing concert I have ever attended! Saw them at CPR Fest and they were really good, but last night they surpassed anything I could ever have hoped for in my wildest dreams. From the opening chord of Crashed to the final reverberation of There and Back Again, Chris and the guys put on a show those who attended are not likely to ever forget. Such energy! Such camaraderie! Such musicianship! It's hard to beleive these guys have only been playing together since January.........they sound and act like a band that has been around for years, and trust me, they WILL be around for years and years and years!
Chris was so relaxed and in his element on that stage............he joked with the audience and mugged with the guys.........and he is absolutely GORGEOUS in person! His voice could not have sounded better, either! JP never stopped moving and he is just a sweetheart (I got a JP hug after the show!) Brian is a serious guitarist and was rockin' out to every song. Steely was "steely" but he did smile more than at CPR and he was singing along to a lot of the songs. And JoJo..........what else can be said about JoJo that hasn't already been written? He's a doll and an inspired drummer........quite a keyboardist as well! They make up DAUGHTRY and we are unbelieveably fortunate to be their fans! They do a marvelously entertaining show, complete with lights and strobes, non-stop energy, superb music and not a swear word anywhere to be heard, which is rremarkable in the world of rock and roll. Truly a family type of band!
They played for 90 minutes and did every song from the album save All These Lives. They came out rockin' hard and then did a more mellow set in the middle, with Chris singing Rocket Man (Elton WHO?), Fell on Black Days, Black, and From Where I'm Standing, which may be on the next cd. I know I'm leaving one out, but I can't remember them all! They did 15 songs total and it was sheer heaven They came back and did another hard rockin' set which included something called Nutshell and it was awesome..........very haunting instrumentals. They closed with TABA and it rocked the house down..........magnificent! I better not hear any tepid reviews of this show from self-styled critics because anything less than a stellar critique will be a bald faced LIE!
In closing, I have to say a few words about what a wonderful group of fans I met at this performance. Everyone from DO has been SO sweet and gracious.....I believe it is a reflection of how sweet and gracious Chris and the guys are to us fans.........we spread their love to each other. THANK YOU so much, CAT, for making this possible for me............luff ya, fairy DAUGHTRY princess! Thank YOU, Charlotte,for being such an angel and helping out an old timer like me! Thank you BOTH, DEB and TIM........Deb, for giving me Chris' water bottle out of the goodness of your heart.....and TIM for the marvelous dinner after the show........you guys ROCK! Thank you, LORETTA, for making the experience so much fun with the witty banter while we were in line.......and thank you, IMAJAGFAN, for the heads up on CPR! Thanks,too, to Allison ( hope the spelling is right( for the JoJo cd............it's so cool! I am SO happy I got to meet all of you and share this once in a lifetime experience!
P.S. Forgot to say that I made eye contact with Chris and he pointed right at us.......Cat says he pointed at her, but I think he pointed at ME! LOL
Also got to wrap my hand around his arm when he jumped down from the stage after the show and came close to the barricades to greet the fans........wow!!!!!!!!!
