Wanted to do a review sooner but the computer has been down since Thursday night. So here is goes. I could have not been more excited for this show. This being only my second Daughtry show. I was alittle nervous on Thursday since the reviews from the night before saying that Chris was sick. I was having major flashbacks to the Kenosha show that got cancelled. I just kept saying to myself, "this is not going to happen again." Well anticipation grew all day and when it came time to get to my seat I was just so excited. It was a bummer to see so many open seats right before Daughtry went on. As soon as they started, which by the way I can't believe that they weren't even introduced, but neither was Bon Jovi, I just started screaming. And same thing in my section Gottaluvem, people were just sitting there and I felt I could hear myself screaming which was kinda scary. I then moved up to the front row of the 200 sections. I had pretty good seats too but I thought I would try and get closer. It worked for awhile and this guy came and stood right next to me but on the floor and he had a tag on, so I asked him if he was with the Bradley Center or the band and he replied, "the band". I then asked him if he could take me with him and he simply replied, "No, I can't". I thought it was worth a try. I too had a hard time hearing the words to the first song. I had the same experience at Summerfest with Daughtry. The music was way too loud and Chris got drowned out. But I was snapping pictures like crazy and singing and dancing. After a few songs I got busted and told to go back to my seat. I said that no one was sitting here but she told me to get lost. I didn't go all the way back to my seat and got to stay there for the rest of Daughtry. After they got done I got busted again by a guy this time and he said get back to your seat and that he let me stay there for the opening act. I replied with, "that was all I wanted". I then went back to my seat. It felt really weird having Daughtry be the opening act. I was left wanting more after only 45 minutes and it just didn't seem right that they weren't given enough recognition. All in all, of course it was great to see them in any type of capacity and I too can't wait for them to come back to Wisconsin in August and headline where they belong. I bought a t-shirt for the small fortune of $45 but I just couldn't resist. Bon Jovi was great as they should be with all of their many years of experience. But I was alittle depressed in the beginning of the show because I still wanted Daughtry to be out there. I told myself to get over it and have fun, which I did. It is funny because Bon Jovi really makes you feel how old you are with some of there older stuff. I kept thinking about Junior high. Great night to be out and be at a concert. Looking forward to seeing Daughtry again and hope that they have more shows this summer. By the way I got pulled over on my way home only 1/2 mile from my house. I had to go to the bathroom soo bad since I didn't get the chance before I left the Bradley Center. When the cop came up to the car he told me that I was speeding and I said, "i'm sorry, but I really gotta pee". He asked me where I was coming from and I said a concert. He said, "Bon Jovi?" and I said YES. He asked how it was and I said, "Awesome". He took my license and then came back and said, "Ashley just slow down". Got away from that one, thank goodness!!!
kfdberry - maybe next time we will get to see eachother. How many times did we try and call eachother when we were only 1 section away? Wish I could have looked for the bus with you. Look out Harley Fest, the Daughtry fans are coming.
