My husband and I drove 7.5 hrs to Pittsburgh to see Daughtry!!! It was worth the trip!! When we arrived in the city, we drove by Diesel to check it out. It was 2:30 and there were already people lined up on the sidewalk!! The bus was parked right across the street. I freaked...we HAD to get checked into the hotel and get back to the club to get in line...QUICK!! Of course my husband thought I was crazy, but being as wonderful as he is, he accompanied me. We met some great people in line.( and a couple that were a bit obnoxious!) Anyway..all of a sudden I look up and here comes Chris walking across the street. I couldn't get my camera on fast enough to catch him. I was so excited to see him that I actually started shaking. I don't go to concerts routinely, and haven't really gotten close to anyone famous before. So eventually he came back out. Actually he went back and forth a few times and I ended up getting a couple of okay pictures. I also got pics to JP and Brian!!! By the way...it was freezing!! I wasn't wearing a coat, so when they finally let us in I was more than grateful. Mike bought me a Daughtry hoodie while I quickly found my place right up front and to the right of the stage. No one between me and the stage!! I was so excited!!
The opening bands were good. My husband liked them. I enjoyed them, but to be honest, I just couldn't wait for Chris and the boys! Finally they came out and so did my inner teenage groupie!! I went ballistic screaming and taking pictures. Oh my God...they were so awesome. The performance changed my husband's opinion of the band too. Before the show, he thought they were too mellow...but then he saw Daughtry ROCK OUT!! I got lots of great pictures too!! At one point Chris came to our side of the stage and reached out his hand. As he let go of my hand, he saw my husband behind me. Mike is a bald guy too! He looked at Mike, pointed at him, smiled and then Chris rubbed the top of his own head. Mike thought that was cool.
We waited around and had a couple of beers after the show. Eventually JP came in with his wife. He was very nice and happy to sign my CD cover. I was happy to meet him. A little while later, Joey came in. He was so friendly and polite. He signed my CD cover and took a picture with me. He's so cute. I love the lips!! Anyway...he's a genuinely nice guy and he seems to like the interaction with the fans. I was glad to get the chance to meet him too!
We waited and waited in hopes of meeting Chris too. Unfortunately it didn't happen for me. Just before we left for the night, we stopped in front of the bus. Apparently while we were waiting inside, he had been making short appearances right outside the bus. His bodyguard said he wasn't coming back out. I read in the forums that he did come back out. I should have waited I guess. Well, it was awesome just seeing the show. I'm sure he gets tired of the stardom and people always wanting to take his picture, etc. It must be quite an adjustment! Maybe I'll get the chance to meet him in Raleigh. I'm going on April 13th. I can't wait to hear him sing again!!!
By the way...we live in Virginia, and when we left for the drive home, we ran into lots of snow!! It was a scary drive!! There were wrecks everywhere!! As we drove south, the snow stopped and the rain started! It was terrible!! Our 7.5 hour drive turned into 10.5 hrs!! Oh well....STILL WORTH EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!

Chris was phenominal! and he is a sweet guy. Just to clear a few things up, though. There was no "jumping in line". There were 8 people who won tickets from the local radio station which included a meet & greet session. We were told they were running out of time and that we could not get anything signed so they sent out a pre-signed photo of the band. Diesel Club was so disorganized that when the RCA rep finally said to proceed in for the meet & greet and everyone got inside, Diesel was pushing everyone back out because they wanted everyone to get back to the ticket window to have their tickets torn in half (instead of just taking care of it while we were in there). No one seemed to know what they were doing or how they wanted to handle tickets; it was all very disorganized. The meet & greet only lasted a very few minutes (which only included a very quick photo). There was no introduction or anything. It was a quick next, snap the picture, & go out the door behind you. By the time all this happened, the doors had been opened and everyone else had already crowded the stage. We got an Awesome photo with the band though and Chris is a sweety, so it was all good. Most awesome concert ever!!!

I surprised my two sisters with tickets for the DAUGHTRY concert at Diesel in Pittsburgh. We got there early and waited in line for almost three hours but it was worth it!!! We were in the third row. All the bands really rocked out and did a great job. When DAUGHTRY came out, the crowd went CRAZY. The setting was much more intimate than I expected, which was a nice surprise. At one point in the concert, my younger sister waved to Chris and he waved back and I could tell by the look on her face that it made her night. We have been going through a rough time lately and I really think that she needed something like this concert to cheer her up. The band really knew how to get the crowd going and I was especially surprised when Chris sang Black from Pearl Jam (one of my all time favorite songs). Outside after the concert, Chris signed our shirts. He was very grateful of all of the fans and seemed like a really nice guy.

I'm a HUGE Chris Daughtry fan! Loved him on American Idol, but loved him more with his band! He is truly amazing!! It was worth the "Extra" money I paid. I think he could have played a bigger venue. Was VERY impressed with Daughtry, but not so much with the Diesel Club.

Would love to see Chris again, hopefully even get to meet him. I've seen many concerts and his was the best by far! He is the BEST performer I've seen live. I hope Daughtry is around for a long time!

Hope they are in the area again soon!

I had so much fun at that concert!!! Chris has been my idol since American Idol, and hes proved he should of one it. But who cares about American Idol he is rockin' without it. It was an awesome show. Loved it!!! I made my way to the front and got to hold his hand, I was in awwww!!! Wish I could of met him though. Got Jamie's auto, but no chris Sad I can't wait till he comes back again. I saw him twice, (American Idol concert was the first) and I would definitely love to see him again. Love ya Daughtry!!!!

Hey Daughtry fans!!! Ok im here to tell you about my amazing night with Daughtry I hope you are all ready to sit and read all this, because I'm sure it will get long as I go along, ok here goes:

Wednesday night at 7pm March 14,2007 I leave my home in Canada to drive down to Pittsburgh, it took us about 5 hours to get there, we arrived in Pittsburgh at around 12:30am, get to our Days Inn hotel, it was a scary place so we decided to look for another hotel, everything was booked in Pittsburgh at that time of night, I tought we were just gonna end up sleeping in the truck lol! But it worked out well we ended up finding a hotel in the north side of Pittsburgh a nice Comfor Inn, it was about 20 mins from downtown. So we finallt get our room and its about almost 2am now, im really tired by now, we finally lay down to sleep and i didnt get any sleep at all not because of seeign Daughtry the enxt day, but because of friend of ours kept snoring all night lol, I think I got maybe 3 hours sleep that night! I was really upset about it because I figured the next day at the concert I would be sooo exhausted!!! But boy did the day turn into the best day of my life!!!!

Ok so me and a friend of mine make our way to Diesel at around 1pm, I figured there would be a huge line up,at this point my hopes were all down the tubes anyway, I figured there would be no chance to meet any of them, but boy was i wrong!!! There was only 4 people ahead of us in line, so our long awaited journey in line begins....there was these buses across the street and one of the girls in the line says "thats daughtry's bus" I was like no way!!! so i take a picture and we wait...then out comes JP and Brian (the bus was parked across the street from the club) they wave at us from across the road and made their way down to Starbucks lol...after that we are all just chatting away, this one lady I met named Diane I believe, apparently she has met the band a few times and she warned me not to scream and get all excited when i see Chris since he deosnt like people hounding him, so we are in line for awhile longer and and and...heres comes Chris out of the bus walking across the street heading towards us to the doors of the club...ALL 6 of us just froze nobody moved nobody asked him for a pic, we just all FROZE!!! lol...as he walked by he said "hey whats up guys" OMG!!! then he was gone inside the club and we all just stood there speechless!!! I was so upset that I didnt stop him for a photo, I tought it would be my only chance!! So we waited for him to come out of the club to try to get a pic with him, but he snuck out from the side door of the club, I was the one who noticed him walking down the street, to Starbucks I'm sure lol...then he was gone for awhile.

Again more small talk in line, it was raining a bit also...but it stopped thank god!!! So here comes J.P. over from Starbucks, hes the cutest thing ever, I asked him to sign my cd, which he did:-) and then I took a picture with him, he takes amazing pictures, he's got the cutest face:-) After awhile Joey comes over from Starbucks as well, wearing a Starbucks apron (too cute) I got a picture with him but totally forgot to get him to sign my cd, he talked abit with people and then he was off again to Starbucks.

Chris came walking down the street again by himself from Starbucks, he was talking on his cell phone and went back inside thebus, I was trying my best to get a close up pic of him but he kept moving so i kept getting pics of his back (which is still good hehehe)!!! After a few minutes he went back inside the club, to do his sound check a couple of people won tickets from the radio for a meet and greet at sound check so they got to go in first while daughtry did their sound check, they all came out with a signed photo of the band:-)

At around 6:30pm they started letting us in...some people started butting in line, but I got my front row spot, nobody was stopping this Canadian fan lol...the club was really nice but very small, I'm not even sure how they fit 600 people in there!!! They had a stand in there with the Daughtry merchandise for sale, I bought my black hoodie and the white tshirt:-)

So here we are front row waiting for the first band to start...Cinder Road comes on stage, I tought they were pretty good, they kind remind me almost of SUM 41, I bought a copy of their cd and get 2 of the band members to sign it...also i forgot to mention when we were in line the lead singer came to the lineup with a photo of the band to give out and he did signatures for those who wanted one. Next on sage was Eve to Adam, I tought they were pretty good also, alot more heavier rock, but these guys were good, we didnt get a chance to get a copy of their cd. I was really tired at this point from not having all sleep the night before and waiting in lien for many hours outside, we did have some redbull with us but it didnt do its justice lol...so i was really jumping around to them since I wanted to save my energy for my favorite boyz....Smiling

Finally the moment is here, Daughtry is about to enter the stage, I'm soooo excited at this point, I totally forgot that Im so tired lo......the guys enter the stage besides Chris and we hear the music starting for the song "CRASHED" and out comes sexy bald head CHRIS....men I just love him more and more!!! They had a script on the floor of the songs they sang in order they were:
Crashed, Used To, What I Want, Gone, Over You, Feels Like Tonight, Breakdown, Black, Its Not Over, Home and There and Back Again, I remenber all these in order because one of the guys clearing up the stage after they performed gave me the script that was on the floor which they stepped on hehehe!!! The performance was amazing, I loved every minute of it, I got tons and tons of pictures majorly of Chris because I just cant get enough of him!!! The concert was over earlier than i expected, because from reading other peoples review from other concerts they said they dont come on stage until 10pm...they were on stage in Pittsburgh at about 8ish, and before we know it was over in a flash, the concert ended at about 9:30 if i remenber correctly.

Ok so we are leaving the club and im happy and kind of bumbed cuz i didnt get a chance to get a pic with Brian at least that way I would have a pic with all the band menbers besides Chris since its much harder to meet him, so we get outside the club and I see that Daughtry's bus is still parked in the same spot so I tell my friend we are waiting by that bus until it moves out of there lol... so we waited for a good half hour, his helping crew kept comign back and forth with stuff to load on the bus, other people kept asking for chris some were saying he wasnt in the bus yet others were saying he was in the bus already...but i was determined to wait until that bus moved!!!!

After a bit here comes Brian walking towards us, he got stopped by a few people ahead of us to take pictures and signatures, we then decided to walk over to him, he is the nicest guy ever!!!! so sweet, he signed our cd's i took a picture with him and he also signed my script from the floor that was taped right under him:-) So I was a very happy girl right now didnt think i was gonna get a pic with Brian ....2 down 2 to go!!! CHRIS!!!! I asked Brian if they would be coming to Canada any time soon and he said yes we will be coming Canada jsut not sure when. He really is such a nice guy, if any of you get a chance to meet him you will see...he was my favorite aside from Chris of course!!!

Brian gets inside the bus and then here comes Joey, i got a chance to take another picture with him, this time without the Starbucks apron lol and he signed my cd!!! 3 down 1 more to go!!!!

No sign of Chris anywhere, we were really starting to believe he really was inside the bus already, I was starting to lose hope on meeting him, then all of a sudden they sneak chris on the bus from the other way of the bus...they are really protective of him which is really good!!! howeer he we was walking down the street alone to and from starbucks but I guess its because there was less people at the time..so they snuck him in the bus but we waited a few more minutes, and then the door opens and its Chris manager telling us to line up in a straight row near the bus that he was coming out to do signatures "only" i was sooo excited that i was going to finally be close to him!!! i dont know how i stayed calmed threw all this, so we line up and he signs my cd, I got him to sign the actual cd, then I was disappointed i didnt get him to sign the cover since i got all the other guys to sign it, but i was happy got a signtuire from him and seen him up close i was happy, this one girl did get a pciture with him and i was upset cuz his manager said no photos and here this girl got a chance to take a picture with him!!! so i leave happy and a bit sad since i didnt get a phot with him.

So we stop at this place where our boyfriends where eating pizza called Little Chicago's Pizza, we sat in there for a bit and then i got this instinct inside of me to go back, so me and my friend start walking back to the bus, the bus was still there, so i got a bit of hope inside of me...there was only about 6 other people and us 2...AND....MY DREAM COMES TRUE!!!! the bus doors open and there's Chris at the bus door again, and this time I got 2 pictures with him and he signed the cover of my cd and the white daughtry tshirt that i bought!!!! YES i did indeed start to cry i was sooooo happy to finally get a picture with the men I absolutely adore!!! I was crying and both Chris and hismanager looked at me with the tears in my eyes, it was such nice moment hard to explain how i felt at that moment!! And that weas the end of my Daughtry experience, it was the BEST night of my life!!! all my dreams came true, i got to meet the whole band and get signatures of all of them, i couldnt believe all of that happened, I woke up the next morning thinking it was a dream, but lucky for me it wasnt, it was all reality!!!!

Im sorry that this was such a long story, I hope all of you enjoyed reading it, it was a increadible experience I wish I could do all over again!!! I wish any of you the same luck I had if you are going to one of his next concerts!! Oh I also forgot to mention when we finished taking the pictures with him and getting the signaures I asked him if was palnning on coming to Canada and he said "Eventually" i cant wait!!! DAUGHTRY IN CANADA!!! yuhoooo...and then he said have a goodnight ladies...hes sooo sweet love that voice talking or singing!!!! lol...

Pittsburgh was so awesome!
Cinder Road really rocked out--loved them!
But what more can be said about Daughtry---everyone needs a chance to see this show!
I was front and center and was totally blown away and would love to do it all over again.
Come back to Pittsburgh---we love you guys and hope we showed you that on Thursday.
I'm trying to give it 5 stars, but I don't know if it worked!!

The show that Daughtry Cinder Road and Eve to Adam put on in Pittsburgh was AMAZING! I can't even begin to describe how nice they were and how into their music they got. They put an AWESOME show on, it was the best night ever!!

It was a awesome show!!! Everyone should go see Daughtry!!!

Deana

Hi, I have been to alot of concerts and Daughtry at Diesel's Club was awesome!!! The bands before them were great! I liked how the other bands walked around and promoted their CDs. That was nice of them. And Daughtry was awesome they played for an hour thats good for one CD and Chris played by himself. He sang Pearl Jam's Black. After the show I waited to see if I could meet Chris. JP and Brian walked in to the bar area and they said Hi but Chris slipped out the side door. Then after they all left a local band named Somerhill went on and they were really good. So to make it short I had a really great time. Can't wait to see them again! Daughtry Rocks!!!

I gotta start off by saying that I can't believe I was even fortunate enough to get tickets to this show! I wanted to see DAUGHTRY so bad live in concert, but never thought it would happen. Aside from each of the 5 guys in this band being wonderful human beings, the music blows me away- it just makes me feel. I try to explain that to my husband who really is a fan too, but he's convinced I'm just a DAUGHTRY stalker - LOL!

Kay- here we go....

My husband and I arrived in the Burgh the day before the show and walked to the club to scope it out. Looked nice, smaller than I expected, and the front was all black and you could not see inside. There was so signage mentioning DAUGHTRY anywhere and parking was nowhere to be found. Good thing we would be walking 6 blocks from our hotel. It was warm, in the 60s and gorgeous outside. We spent that night checking out the local bars and clubs and looked forward to the concert the following day.

Morning of the show, I wake up with a migraine headache- vomiting and everything else! UGH! I wanted to line up early to ensure a spot close to the stage, but I felt horrible and the weather drastically changed to temps in the 30s and sleet/snow coming down in buckets. We ended up about 20 people deep in line at about 3:15. We were frozen from head to toe, it was so cold and wet out. The line quickly grew to cover blocks! The tour buses were parked directly across the street with the equiptment truck and the guys came and went often from Diesel, to the bus, to walking down the road. Chris had to stop in the middle of the street for traffic and gave us a cute wave. Joey and JP posed for pics with those at the very front of the line, but I didn't dare move from my spot.

We were let in the club around 6:30 and took our spots about 5 rows back from the stage and we were packed in like sardines! This place sold over 600 tickets and I could not imagine fitting that many people inside that tiny place! Did it matter to me that it was small- HELL NO! Cinder Road and Eve to Adam were great- I enjoyed both, but loved Eve to Adam- they had a great sound, very unique and I would definately buy the album. After Eve to Adam the setup for DAUGHTRY began and everyone in the crowd was like a raw nerve ending, screaming at the least thing from a change in lighting- SCREAMS, to the guy testing a mic- SCREAMS- IT WAS SO FUNNY! My heart was pounding in my chest waiting for the second I had waited for so long to arrive!

Before too long Joey walks out on stage followed by JP and Brian and the crowd went crazy! Next came the man himself- Chris gripped that mic for what seemed like an eternity with his head bowed down with the band bangin in out. The intensity in that club could be cut with a knife it was so thick by now. The moment Chris opened his mouth to sing that first note- I WAS GONE, MESMERIZED FROM THAT POINT ON! The power and emotion behind that man's voice is indescribable! As far as what they played, I remember Crashed, Used To, It's Not Over, Breakdown, Black by Pearl Jam, Home, There and Back Again, Feels Like Tonight, Gone, and Over You. Before they played Over You Chris asked if anyone there had ever been dumped and if anyone there was dumped tonight- Joey raised his hand! He is such a character! Chris was his usual handsome self- perfect sideburns and yes he trimmed the hair beneath his lower lip. His vocals and the band were unbelievable feeding off each other and the energy of the crowd! Every song was electric and even though it was so loud, they sounded fabulous, spot on, perfect! As far as performing, Chris no longer just stands there cradling the mic- he was all over the place grabbing hands, jumping up and down, and jamming with the guys. He teased the crowd asking if he could call us his friends and if we were responsible for getting them to number one.

He was in his element and very smiley. It was really an overwhelming experience seeing him so happy and being the best at what he does after such a crazy year. I swear he made eye contact with every single person in that huge sea of people. People were jammed in a balcony up top too and it was as if he was trying to SEE each and every one of us- IT WAS AMAZING! Maybe that was just my imagination, we'll never know.

It was all over way too quick

We all just stood there after There and Back again wanting more, but knowing that it was the end. My husband and I went upstairs and had a drink and after about 20 minutes I look across the room and see a mohawk- guess who? Yep it was JP! I was really impressed with how everyone was very respectful and not crowding him and freaking out! We played it cool- LOL and at one point I touched his arm and he turned and I introduced myself and he said hey you as if he remembered me from the space place or something. He signed my CD and one for my son and we talked about what a great show it was and how we had a blast. DUH- No photo yet though! It was really awkward for me to ask for a photo- I'm not the stick my camera in your face kind of girl like they are some sort of spectacle or something. It just seemed weird to me to imagine what it must be like with people screaming and throwing cameras in their faces all the time. That's not what it's about for me. Anyway, next we saw Joey and he too autographed my stuff and gave me a big hug and we talked about where they were playing next and how they looked forward to Boston for St. Patty's Day. I said something about it being crazy for them to come out after a show to all the fans and he said that's what it's all bout and that's how he rolls. Such a sweetheart and he puts his makeup on better than I do!

One of the Cinder Road guys shared that everyone was going across the street to a bar so we headed over there. We went upstairs where everyone was including the Cinder Road guys, JP, and Brian. We walked passed JP and he said hello again and I asked if I could get a pic (I knew I would regret it if I didn't) and he put his arm around me and stuck his tongue out of course! We walked passed Brian, introduced ourselves and talked for quite awhile about our kids, the band, the show. I asked how it felt to be part of the #1 band in the country and he said how they can't even grasp it- that it's so out of the realm of reality for them. He was so nice and a pleasure to talk to. We had a seat and talked with other fans and had a drink. JP was across the way and pointed at me and I pointed back. He came by and gave me a cute sort of high five and then he and my hubby started gabbing about Suicidal Tendencies and other bands he's played for. We were there til about 1am and decided to go since we heard they were leaving on the buses in 20 minutes. We walked passed Brian who reached out his hand and I took it, gave him a hug and he said it was a pleasure meeting you Jill and Tim- hubby couldn't believe he remembered his name! I told him to tell Chris that the show was beyond words could describe and to thank him for me and Brian said he definately would do that and for some reason I believed it...

We walked by JP again and I put my hand on his shoulder and said we were taking off and he gave me a big JP kinda hug and I thanked him for an unbelievable night. We walked by the tour bus where I expect Chris had fled to immediately after the show and felt sad inside that I didn't get to thank him myself, but I believe he knows how much it means to all of us even though we can't all meet him. In my head I just sort of sent him my best wishes for continued happiness that he so rightly deserves and was grateful for the opportunity to see him doing what he does best in such a small fleeting moment...

Loved the show in Pittsburgh! I was lucky enough to be in front and have Chris grab my hand as he was leaving the stage! Also was waving at him as he was peeking out during the opening act and got a wink and a smile! I really wanted to meet the band but did not want to hang out at the bus and bug them! I guess I should have since they came out! We had a 2 hours drive home and my husband babysat our three kids so anyway...LOVED THE SHOW AND HOPE TO SEE THEM AGAIN!

The show was outstanding! The only thing that would have made it better would be if I had gotten to meet you Chris. However, I did get to meet JP and Joey...what awesome guys! I am looking forward to seeing you guys in concert again hopefully soon!!

Sorry its a few days late and this is bound to be super long but I want to include all the details, so here we go! I got to Diesel (the venue) at about 1 and it was raining and snowing! There were 3 tour buses. A few other Daughtry fans were there, I don’t think any of them were from the boards. We all saw JP, Brian, and Joey come out of one of the buses and walk down the street. Joey kept waving like really big at us it was so cute! They were on the other side of the street, so we didn’t want to bother them. Awhile after, Chris came out and crossed the street towards us to Diesel. We were all like deer in headlights, we said “Hey guys” we were like “uhhhh oh HI!!” After awhile him and another guy went out the side door, by the time we noticed it was him e was halfway down the street. Then Joey, JP and Brian came back (mind you I’m fast forwarding here a lot lol) JP and Brian went back to the bus, but Joey was like “where we goin??” He stayed and he was wearing a Starbucks apron! I got a pic with him and we just hung out for like 5 minutes. People were sayin stuff like “I don’t care what anyone says, you guys totally beat McDonald’s premiums (butt)” He was like “well, we do out best!” haha typical Joey. Then he left and JP came by. I got a pic, he is really short! They were both AMAZINGLY nice and sweet!! Brian came out then but didn’t stop; I don’t think anyone else besides a few people even knew who he was, so I said “Hey Brian!!” So he waved and was like “oh hi!” After that the HUGE line of people that was there (it went around the building) waited until 6:30 when they let us in. I ran right up to the stage and my mom went to the upper level. I was literally touching it!! Cinder Road went on at about 7ish. They were awesome, I loved them! The lead singer kept looking at me it was great. I was right next to the speakers, but I loved it! This is only my second concert ever (1st time being that close) I absolutely adored that feeling, that every lyric and note just felt like it went through me, it was amazing. Eve to Adam came on at maybe 8ish. They were ok, but I preferred Cinder Road a lot more. The people around me just looked like they wanted it to be over. When they were going off the stage, the guitarist gave me his pick (I think cause I was the only one in the front who was actually like enjoying it! lol) So at 9 the best freakin band in the world came on. I noticed Joey was wearing really tall socks with skulls on em and fish nets on his arms! lol I love him! Anyway they started with “Crash”, and it was SO FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!! I was savoring every second of it! Chris came by and everyone was reaching for his hand, I tried to grab it and we both missed each other (he had this “opps!” look on his face so cute!) so he grabbed my hand and squeezed it! Brian was right in front of me the whole time,he is an AMAZING guitarist! I think he opened his eyes maybe twice teh entire set! They played every song on the album, except “All These Lives” and “What About Now” They also played “Black” which I thought was awesome. They all went off the stage and it looked like the end of the set, but I knew better tehe They came back (JP shirtless and Chris in a tank top, I was in heaven lol) and played “There and Back Again” which is my favorite. I touched Chris and JP’s hands when they were leavin! So it ended and me and my mom left (cause I was under 21 and couldn’t stay)I saw Pam(idololdie) on the way out too! Me and my mom went out and waited by the bus. Joey came out and he signed my jeans and I got a hug! Later Brian came by. He was all like “you want a pic w/ me??” lol I think hes still getting used to it. I asked him if he could sign my jeans, he said sure and like grabbed my leg and was like holding it! He said “I’m so sorry I can’t sign it nice if I don’t” I was like “Oh no go right ahead!” lol Then Chris came kinda out of the bus(he was on the steps) The security guy or w/e by him was sayin we could take pictures of him, but not with him. There was a line and Chris kept looking back at me! When security guy said we should go soon he looked right at me and said I didn’t get everyone yet! (YAY Chris!!) I went up to him and said “Hi Chris!” he said hey!! really enthusiastically! He signed my jeans and my mom told him we drove all the way from Michigan for him and he went “awwwwwww!” My gosh it was amazing! Thats all I have! lol So sorry it took so long but I had to put in all the details! Thanks for reading and bein patient with me, it was so freakin awesome!!

I herd you guys had an AWESOME show. I live like 5 minutes from the Diesel club and the second I herd you guys were coming, I went on Ticket master and figured out you guys were sold out already. So you guys REALLY have to come back and maybe have a bigger show and also if you come back have it an all ages show because I'm only 13. So please come back and I wish you guys luck on the rest of the tour. Oh yea one more thing Chris, i thought you would win American Idol from the beginning. In my opinion you guys have won American idol because how long have you been on top of the charts, and how long has Taylor. Just think about it you guys are the BEST.

What an excellent show! It was worth the wait and then some. And of course a big thank you to weluvdaughtry for my tickets (my ticket buddy!!!). The opening acts were pretty good (you never know how they are going to be). But I was pleasantly surprised. Then it was the moment everyone was waiting for: Daughtry. If I thought it was loud before that, I was wrong. The crowd went nuts. Daughtry was amazing. His voice was on key, every note, every song. The band was in tune. Chris was connecting with the audience, even us (like me) in peanut heaven that couldn't see much at all. I couldn't have asked for anything better from the band. I wished the venue was a bit bigger (not for having more people, but for more space). But I would do it again in a heartbeat. I got pics despite not being able to see (how I managed that, I will never know).

Thanks guys, for comin to the 'burgh. I hope you enjoyed your short stay in our city and are welcome back at any time. Maybe you can come sing the national anthem when our new arena opens in 2009 (well, if you not too swamped by then!!!) Thanks again, I had a great time.

My husband and I went to see the show and stood in line and Froze for 2 hours....but soooo worth it. I saw Chris coming across the street out of the tour bus and once in the building I was able to make my way to the front (unfortunaley by the speaker) what!!!!! I just got over the ringing in my ear from the second band that played!!! I had fun with the cool security guard too!!! Chris did grab my hand and I was "touched by an angel". We really enjoyed the evening, since we have 3 kids and don't get out much. My husband just enjoys watching me have such a good time, he is a great guy!!Thanks for coming to Pittsburgh you really rocked the house that night. Hope to see more of you soon!

My husband and I came from Alliance OH to see Daughtry. It was an amazing night and incredible experience. I was hoping to get a chance to at least shake his hand and meet him, but just being that close to him was awesome. I was towards the back and had tall people in front of me but it was worth all of it. Would have loved an oppurtunity to meet the entie entire band and get pictures. I would have loved to even have an autographed picture.
You guys were AMAZING!!!!!! You rocked the house. I will definatley be getting tickets next time around. I was able to get a ton of pictures!!!!
Thank you all for putting on an amazing show!!!!!
God Bless!!!!

Hey hey!! whats up guys? i was at your show last night in pittsburgh. all i can say is OH MY GOD amazing show. ive never ever had that much fun in one night. CHRIS you are wonderful, i love the sound of your voice, i actually listen to the CD before i go to bed every night just to go to sleep. You have to let me know when your coming close again, ill be there for sure. the $185 spent on the tickets for last night was well worth it, (had to buy them off ebay) maybe next time i can shake some hands or something haha that would be awesome. Talk to you later, Love Brandi.

Okay, first off the show last night in Pgh was so cool. I couldn't really see much but what I heard was unbelievable. My friend works at a Starbucks down the street from the Venue. She called me in the afternoon and told me to get my butt down there. I asked her why and she said...BECAUSE CHRIS DAUGHTRY IS IN HERE! She talked to him for awhile and even got his autograph for me. So, I went down and she said he just left 5 minutes ago. AHHHH!!!! Too late. But it's okay, I have his autograph, oh wait, he even wrote it out to ME! I just want to say thanks to Chris and the Band for making my night. You guys sounded amazing. Can't wait for ya to come back to a BIGGER venue.

My husband and I went to the Pittsburgh show at Diesel...Chris and the entire Daughtry band were awesome!!! It was really great to see all his loyal fans singing along to all of his songs! We also enjoyed the two cover bands that played before Daughtry went on. What a great show and a wonderful evening. Thanks for making the "Burgh" one of your stops.
We hope to see you back again soon....we are also hoping that you will play at a bigger venue so more of your fans will get the chance to see you and tickets won't be so hard to get.

Daughtry....YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the great work guys....we love you in Pittsburgh!!!!!

I was there and I can honestly say that you guys were awesome!!!!!! You guys sounded just like the album and that is a very good thing. I've been to many concerts and some don't sound right but you were incredible! Thanks for a great evening. I hope you come back to this area again!

The show was worth the travel from Michigan. I was standing behind a pole and couldn't see a darn thing. I had my 11 year old daughter with me and she was able to get a pic from someone who was back stage. She was excited! I just feel blessed to be able to be there and enjoy watching my daughter hanging on that pole and singing every song the band belted out. I was able to put her up on my shoulders a couple of times so she could get some pics of Chris. They rocked the house!

Won a soundcheck pass on 96.1 Kiss. They took us in late so we didn't get too much time.
Heard them play a litte. Chris came down and shook our hands and we got a group photo. Lucky me got to stand next to him..yes, he had his arm around me! Hopefully we will get the pics!
Didn't get to stay for the show but it was great to see him up close even for a few minutes.

I would give my right arm to see this show tonight !!!! Unfortunately it has been sold out for awhile now so those of you from the burgh who get to see the guys please post a review!!!!
