The show on the 5th was great, seemed like the Daughtry set was way to short though. They need to headline a show to give everyone their fix. My wife and I went more for them, than Bon Jovi, but Bon Jovi really rocked the place too. We were up in section C, so not real close. It was a fun time either way.

remember the set list for this concert?? I was in amazement of the show and I can't remember...

DAUGHTRY...my obsession

Nice pictures grneyegrl and Jamerz thanks for the Trib News. Great saying about Daughtry,

"Daughtry, a younger rock band fronted by American Idol" finalist Chris Daughtry, gave an opening performance that, judging by the audience approval, could have stood alone as its own concert"!!!!!!

Not a surprise at all. Great job Daughtry!!!

A plea to all Pittsburgh-area Daughtry fans: I am a huge Daughtry fan and a huge Pittsburgh Penguin fan. My two passions in life!! Fifty-two Pittsburgh-area Pizza Huts are giving away Pittsburgh Penguin window clings and I just have to have one. I live in California and have no way of getting one, so I am putting out this plea ‘cause I know how wonderful Daughtry fans are.

Could someone get me one (two or three) of those window clings and mail it to me? I am trying to keep the cup dream alive out here in the west.

I tried to put together a trip to Pittsburgh to see Daughtry at the Mellon Arena and catch a home game, but as you may know Pittsburgh home games have been sold out since last October, so I just decided to catch as many Daughtry shows as possible here on the West Coast.

Thanks to all who read this and have a wonderful time at the concert on March 15. I will be there is spirit. You can email me at Ratzone1@aol.com. I will gladly reimburse for all expenses.

Alright. So, the show was amazing, kickass all the way. Except of course, wish it could've been longer, and i seriously missed Crashed!

Anyway- crunch time!
The VIP experience was amazing, got to stand on the stage platform, and had a good view for what i was there for. lol. Ohhhh they played Paradise City and I could've died, it was incredible! Joey wasn't feeling well but you damn sure could've fooled me- he wasn't cutting back on those drums at all! Steely was killing it on guitar, and JP was, as usual, bouncing around waiting for the faster parts to come up so he could move even more, hahha gotta love him! Couldn't see Brian much from my side other than when he got up and jumped off Joey's drum stage thing. Chris was awesome too, working the crowd as usual.

ALRIGHT gotta say- I can definitely see why they do the camera thing during Home. It's pretty amazing! I usually always do the flash thing with them, but I had the perfect view to just turn around and for once see why they always do it, and it's totally understandable!

The performance was unbelievable, again. After their set, we went backstage to see the guys. Once they came out, we stood around and talked for a few. It was so nice to get to talk to them again, seemed like I was just talking to people I see everyday, one of the many reasons people should love this band.

We eventually went back out for Bon Jovi's set, which was sweet again. Wish DAUGHTRY could get up and play for 2.5 hours! lol. karaoke would be fine with me, I think i have some requests Eye-wink

I can't thank RCA & the guys enough for this experience, it was amazing!

This was sooo awesome. The only thing that would have made it better would have been to meet you and the band. It was an awesome concert. You rocked it... Don't sell yourself short about drawing people to the concert.. You seemed to keep giving props to Bon Jovi ( I was there to see you) I even got a shirt after(would have kicked myself if I didn't) I had been depressed for like a month before coming to see you and you made it all better in one night.. THANKS!!!

Keep Rocking
Heather

Thanks for your great review!! Also I'm glad you liked Pittsbugh!

I had such a blast! We left Tuesday night and drove threw an ice storm and didnt get to the place we were staying until 11:30 pm. Got to the concert Wed night a little early and as we drove into Pitts, I was amazed at it's beauty of the scenery of the city. We had a few drinks and found our seats. They were on the floor and were not that bad but no way close enough for me.. We kind of smoozed with a security guard and we asked if we could move just for Daughtry in an empty seat and go right back. He helped us out. So we ended up front row of section 6..and my boyfriend smoozed another security guard and he left us go to 6th row. I was soooo happy! Chris sounded AMAZING and looked great. As I was screaming and having an awesome time I turned around and couldn't believe that there were people sitting down all around me. I couldnt believe that they didn't seem the least bit interested. I had a great time , screamed my head off..just a little disappointed that the show was soo short. It left my longing for more. I was sad that they didn't sing Blaze..I was so looking forward to it. Bon Jovi was great and I realIy enjoyed myself while they played. I was sooo stressed about being able to get pictures of the guys while they were on and trying to get camera settings right. I got a few good shots which i will try and post tomorrow.

Lisa G.. I heard Jon when he said about your Ohio sign and knew it had to be you...Your pictures are so awesome. I only wish mine could of been that good.

Hey ms2323..it was great to meet you. Too bad we didn't get to see the guys...have a blast at your next show..let me know how it goes.

This was one of the best night's Ive had and I am so glad that we drove the 7 1/2 hrs to go....

The concert was great. The best part was Daughtry. Had 3 generations of women that attended the concert. Thanks for putting on a great show. Much love. Jules

Very nice pics! Thanks for sharing. OMG, you really did get so lucky being front row girl! Smiling I bet you felt just like you were in heaven, huh? I'm hoping maybe we'll get lucky and be able to swap seats w/ some Bon Jovi fans during Daughtry when at the Ft. Lauderdale show next month. We've got 4th row seats there. Wish me luck, ok? Eye-wink

*~Thanks RockN2Chris~*

I really do appreciate the advice. I went ahead and picked up a spare battery and called Panasonic, but yeah it turns out the max size compatible memory card is 2 GB so I just got 2 of those to total 4 GB's. Do you think that will be enough for 2 shows worth of pics plus a couple of videos? About how many pics does 1 GB store at highest quality resolution? Also, which picture mode do you use to get your pics so amazingly clear? Is there a special concert mode or something?
I can't wait til' the camera gets here so that I can start playing around w/ it. I have to admit that I only bought this model camera because I was so impressed w/ the quality of your pics, lol. Eye-wink I'm hoping to get some really good pics myself in Ft. Lauderdale from the 4th row. I'll be at the show in Tampa too, but our seats are not as good there, in section 103. Well, thanks again for all of your input. Smiling

I had to read all your reviews before I posted ! I just wanted to re-live it a little more, from different angles !! LOL What else can I add, besides HOW FRIGGIN HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT ARE OUR DAUGHTRY BOYS ?? HOLLA !!! We were totally representing in our section, just to the right of the stage, but not as good as Lisa's..he he I was sooo tired by the time Chris was done, I had no energy left for Jovi ... Chris looked AMAZING (I thought his jeans looked brown from where I was??) Black or Brown who cares they couldnt have looked any better on !!! Oh man, and Joey ?? DAMN !! It was really nice to see Chris work the whole stage too...the megaphone is a fav of mine, sooo glad he's still using it !!
I could of cried when Chris didnt come out for Blaze ! I had my hopes up that I would see Chris one more time before the nite was over....Damn 60 minutes !!!
Lisa, we could see you from our seats, ( and the only reason I know is because your pic is on here, NO I'm not stalking you !LOL) You got the "we love Ohio too" from Jon !! Good one !! Anyways, I'm rambling...We didnt get to meet any of the guys, god knows we tried ! We hung out for about an hour and a half by Chris's bus...But sadly no Chris ! Only drivers who were very nice by the way ! But I did meet GRNEYEGRL aka- Hollie another Daughtry lova, which was nice ! Kudos to her boyfriend/husband ? for freezing with us with no hat ! ha ha Your pic I took turned out good, It's captioned "true love" LOL
It was another amazing nite ! Thanks guys ! I'm sooo looking forward to Vegas !!!!!!! But before that, TORONTO ANYONE ???

I think you should probably call Panasonic customer service and ask about the 4gb cards. I have heard that the 8gbs do not work in the panasonics, but not sure about the 4gbs! Sorry. I just have a bunch of 1gbs I take with me!
I do recommend a backup battery!!You will enjoy the camera, it takes time, you will get used to it, just need a steady hand. I use the highresolution setting with no flash and find I get the best pics.
Let me know if you have questions once you get the camera!!

Thank you JP for being so patient and good to us. You are always so sweet to find time for us. WE will hunt down an open Starbucks for you next time. Love you in a hat or showing your hawk. Brian was looking sweet as well. Love the new guitar and new tat on Chris. I'm all about Joey's drum sticks on the15th. Steely working up a sweat. Love it all!!!! No worries about the crowd. They will catch on to all of our singing and dancing. They had to have seen that they were missing out. What a preview!! Counting down the days to the 15th. It will be our 1 year anniv. for Daughtry and Pittsburgh. (Diesel Club, March 15, 2007)
