My Pittsburgh Review
Before we arrived at the arena the first thing I spotted were the tour busses!! There were like nine of them which meant I had to figure out which one was DAUGHTRY'S! I think I found the right one. There were 2 brown ones and I THINK our guys have a brown one right?! LOL We arrived at the arena at 5:00 which meant standing in the cold until 6:30! While waiting, I took a picture of the tour bus that I thought was DAUGHTRY's. A local radio station was setting up and they talked to my friend and I and we were supposed to be on air at 11:00. We missed us but I bet we were on. We showed her our signs. My friends signs said "I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU" and the other said "I LOVE YOU BON JOVI" and then she went in to talking about how "I'll Be There For You" is her favorite song. I also showed her my signs and she loved my "MARRY ME CHRIS" sign. While freezing our butts off my friend saw a bunch of hot guys who she wanted to meet. So, that was interesting while waiting in line and kept us occupied. So anyway to the GOOD STUFF! We bought our shirts when we entered the Arena and then we went and found our seats. When we got there I was surprised by how good we could see.. I thought it would be worse. Wasn't the best but for a first concert they were good! FINALLY DAUGHTRY took the stage. The first song they sang was "You Don't Belong" and then the rest of the songs I don't remember. When "Breakdown" was playing tears started pouring down my face. I was happy to be there but pissed off 'cause barely anyone was standing in our section. There may have been a few standing here and there but EVERYONE was standing that had floor seating. While DAUGHTRY was performing we screamed, sang along, twice I yelled "I LOVE YOU CHRIS!!!!" But I don't think he heard. While screaming and acting like we were at a concert (UNLIKE OTHERS!) these people in front of us kept turning around and giving us looks. WTH?! Do they want us to sit down, don't say a word, and not have fun. HAHA Forget that! There's no way my first concert will turn out like that! Our guys were amazing. My mom left our section to get pictures that would turn out better since my camera is a piece of junk. We got like 50 some pictures of DAUGHTRY. They performed for about 50-60 mins. and they were off. We waited for Bon Jovi to come on and they were amazing. Some lady got to slow dance with him and another made out with him. And my friend was bawling. (She wishes it was her!) I'm wondering how his wife can trust him when he's doing stuff like that! But he is still amazing.. We tried to go outside and meet them afterwards and that wasn't happening! They had security and police by the tour busses so we couldn't go there and my mom had to work the following day so that was out of the question. On the way home when we left I bawled for atleast 45 minutes straight. Then, quit crying...then "HOME" came on the radio and the tears started rolling! I understand the not meeting them part, it was my first concert so I was glad I went and my mom had to work the next day so it made sense. I just hope that next concert I go to DAUGHTRY is THE ACT not the opening act. The only thing bad about the concert was I honestly don't think Chris and the guys got the respect they deserve. Like I said, there were some people standing and then all the floor people were standing but when Bon Jovi was performing basically EVERYONE stood. I guess that was what being an opening act gets you. Overall the concert was great! Amazing. Not one word can describe it. I can't wait for next time. I just don't know how I will be able to listen to DAUGHTRY without crying now. As time goes by I think I will be able to handle it but right now it's so hard. Most of the tears I cried were tears of happiness! OH I ALMOST FORGOT! THERE WAS NO DAUGHTRY/JOVI PERFORMANCE TOGETHER!!!!! 
I was upset!!
Forgot to say that when we were waiting at 5:00 to get into the arena we were standing close to the tour busses and I yelled "I LOVE YOU CHRIS!" In hopes he would come out...no, no one did... They were most likely in the arena already though.
EDIT:
Chris also did the whole camera thing where he told them to turn the lights off and everyone to take pictures at once. FREAKIN AWESOME!

Ur first concert turned out to be so amazing. I hope you get to make it to another show and it'll even be more exciting than the last and Daughtry will get the respect they deserve. And as long as you had fun, nothing else matters. The people that gave u bad looks are stupid. When u go to a concert ur suppoesd to cheer and sing and have fun otherwise what's the point?
