What a night, Eve To Adam was great!!! Cinder Road, not so good but that's OK... OMG, DAUGHTRY blew me away!! Even though I couldn't see to well, they ROCKED!! Everyone was understanding since I'm in a wheelchair but there were some tall people. They can't help they're tall just like I can't help the wheelchair situation... The staff was awesome!
After the show, it was unbelievable!! I got to meet Bucky from AI, Taki from Eve To Adam, JP and Josh! BTW Josh is the sweetest guy ever!!! I didn't expect these rockers to be sooo sweet but then I've not met any until now!
Now, here comes the best part... My cousin's husband works there. He asked Chris if he would come out and meet me. OMG, he did!!!! I saw a few pictures on here showing Chris mingling after the show inside the Exit Inn that was right after I met him. What a guy he is, super nice and hot!!!!!
I haven't been to a concert since 1996, it was well past time! I'm still smiling over Daughtry! They're just too darn GOOD!! I loved it!!!!!!!!!!

You can go to my Myspace page and read my Daughtry blog and see all my pictures. If anyone has any video from that night I would love to see it! Leave me a Myspace message please!!! Thanks!

I had the BEST time at the show in Nashville! I drove from Shreveport/Bossier City, Louisiana to see it and it was so worth it!! I think Daughtry is the BEST band!

My two sisters and I paid $80 a ticket on ebay. We were so excited to attend the concert. We drove over two hours from KY. Unfortunately when we arrived, we found that my 15 year old sister could not get in. This website said the concert was for all ages. We had no idea the EXIT/IN was a bar. We attempted to sell our tickets, but no one was willing to pay what we did. To keep from losing all our money, my youngest sister watched a dvd in my van. My other sister and I went into the concert. It was a great performance, but I will never be able to think about it without much disappointment. It was a wonderful memory I was hoping to share with both of my sisters.

Well, as those before me posted... the concert was awsome. This was my third- arrived in Nashville at 3, was about 20th in line. It was cold, long, and cold.... but, well worth the wait ... got to be in second row, just about 2 foot off center, just behind a fan that had attended 18 times- good thing she was short- I got the entire concert on video- great pics too! Both Cinder Road and Eve to Adam were great- after the concert several of us went to the back by the buses- we did not realize there was a huge group inside... no wonder we had to wait til 3 am for Chris to come out, and as a previous fan had entered- we hung out with Taki (sp?), and the remainder of the bands- celebrating Taki's 30 birthday with a bottle of Jack, I had a few swiggs myself! After an attempt to get some attention- we were booted back to the back of the bus- where- finally!!!! Chris came out, apologized for being so late- but, we were very understanding- I am sure there is little time to breathe and hang with old friends- like Bucky and Kelly from AI... and the remainder of those left in the warmth of Exit/In---- which I did get pics with Bucky and Kelly... so- we managed to not go into hypothermia- thanks to Taki's Jack... and I got a few autographs- and a pic with Chris... GREAT!

It was worth the wait... goes to show how devoted Daughtry fans are... or are we nuts! That remains the question.... regardless of the answer! Had a great time... third time and counting- true die hard Daughtry fan!

Was so awesome, words just can't describe. Am from western Ky and went down on wed met up with some friends, one from Nashville, one from Mississippi and one from Michigan. Was such a blast to get together and see our guys!! We were very fortunate and got to see Joey do an acoustic set at a pub on wed. night and hang out some after. He is just so amazing and is one to watch to go very far. I love all the guys. My little boy loves JP and Chris both and "performs" just like them, I got to meet all the guys after and some guys from Cinder Road and Eve to Adam, all were so nice. Thanks Mac for the light of the eternal flame, BTW!!lol! I agree with everyone about the bouncers, so rude, one actually did grab my arm, if he hadn't been alot bigger than me and for me wanting to stay and see Chris I would have kicked him where it counts!! It was so awesome hanging around and talking with Josh then finally Chris came out, so sweet. I had a pic of my son playing guitar that Chris had autographed from the ai tour and got the rest of the guys sig. (except Brian's ) I told Chris that he didn't need to sign, he looked at it for a minute and said "Oh yeah, I remember this pic!" I had given him one to keep to. I really believe that he did cause he isn't the type to lie. Just shows what an awesome group of guys they are, how not just Chris, but all of them remember different things about familiar fans, whether it be seeing them from a previous show or from messaging. They are an awesome group of guys and hope they don't let anyone change them. I too am having the letdown, which makes me just start planning on another trip to look forward too!! I love all you guys and thanks so much for an awesome 2 nights!!!!!!!

I am one of the teachers who skipped school to see Daughtry. We left school early to drive from western KY and wait in line. We also took off Friday - and it's a good thing we did. We stuck around after the show and met all of Daughtry - including Chris. We didn't get home until 4:30 am. Security kept trying to run everyone out. We just acted like we were supposed to be there. We talked to several band members until Chris came out. He walked right up and I asked him for a pic. He joked around a little, posed for a pic, and then moved on. He was in a hurry to get back to his friends. One woman was really rude and threw about 8 CDs at him wanting signatures. He was really upset with her and told her she was taking up his time - how rude!!! He was so nice and so were both Joshes!! I am so glad Daughtry decided to stay with the small clubs this year. The Exit In was great - except for the one rude bouncer wearing gray. He was a jerk. I was hoping out friends from Cincinnati and Hangin' Limb TN would have stuck around, too. Get in touch and we'll send you our pics. Special thanks to Stan, the Sound Shop guy, for taking our picture with Chris. We were so star struck, we forgot to pass out cameras off. Stan was so nice to take our picture and email it to us.

I went to the Nashville show...these guys sound just as good, if not better, live. I've been wanting to see Chris in concert since AI....definitely not disappointed. Seriously the best show ever. These guys are so great with their fans, too. I got pictures and autographs from everyone but Brian (THANK YOU!). Hopefully I will get to go to Memphis in May to see them again. I've had a Daughtry high all weekend and now I'm going into Daughtry withdrawals. You guys are sooo grrrreat and I wish you and your families much success and happiness!

I can't wait to see them again!

My friends and I were some of the ones who stuck around to meet the band. I really think security was bluffing about the laminate passes for after the show, esp. now after attending the show in Atlanta. They asked us if we had some, but never asked to see any and never made a true effort to remove people. They just kept making the announcement that people without the passes should leave. This seemed to clear the room more each time. If you just kept moving around and mingling, they didn't say anything. In Atlanta, the security kept making announcements to leave but weren't too insistent and let people mingle since the crowd thinned pretty quickly. I got to meet Mark Perry, but didn't get a picture with him because Chris was there and I was waiting my turn for a pic/autograph with him (and wish I'd had my AE cd because I have Chris and Scott's autograph on that, but still need Mark and Ryan's). I talked with him about living in Nashville. He lives in the area where I used to live and said something about "I hear I could get shot there." I told him yeah, that's a rough area now. Very nice guy!

I posted my recap under my profile!

My daughter & I drove close to 5 hours from Cincy to Nashville for the concert. We arrived in Nashville about 2:45, scoped out the Exit Inn and saw 6 people already in line so we made a mad dash to locate our hotel. After a couple wrong turns and illegal u-turn we made it to our hotel, made a quick change of clothes, called for a cab and were in line by 3:45. We were number 12 & 13 in line. The wait was not that bad if you stood in the sun. My daughter planned on getting a tattoo while in Nashville and there happened to be a place next door so while I waited in line she got a tattoo. Everyone was very friendly we met people from DC, Kentucky & Alabama. When the doors opened the staff at the Exit Inn definitely took time checking all ID’s and tickets. Our tickets were will-call and I was praying that nothing would go wrong. The butterflies in my stomach went away after we made it threw the doors with the stamp on our hands. We quickly went right to the stage. We could have been front row but decided to let 2 others that were in line with us go in front since they were shorter. When Cinder Road came out it was amazing they sure get the crowd going and everyone seemed to enjoy them. Then the band Eve to Adam came out, a bit harder rock but very good. I was waiting for the lead singer to take his shirt off like he did in Cincinnati but it did not happen. The crowd was starting to chant (Daughtry,Daughtry) just then you see Chris come out the place erupted. It was soooo awesome! His voice is so fabulous I could hardly contain myself. It was worth every minute in line and every dollar spent to be this close to the stage. Chris really enjoys when the crowd sings along. He took many opportunities to thank everyone for their support. A couple times during the concert he would shake a little water from his water bottle on the front couple rows and people went crazy. Our only frustration was with the crowd and had nothing at all to do with any of the bands. All of us that had been in line all day were all in the same area together. Then here comes some short lady with a camera and video and pushed her way right in front of my daughter. She extended her arm with her camera in hand right in front of her face. We asked her to move and she refused. She was very snotty and upon our repeated requests and the requests of others around us she made some nasty comments and left. Then from the back came a set of twins dressed with only one thing in mind and they kept pushing & pushing to get to the front. The crowd did not let them through and I never saw them again until after the concert. Well it looked like they got what they came for because one of the Cinder Road band members was carrying them on to their bus and had his hands all over her.
After the concert we purchased more Daughtry & Cinder Road CD’s and clothing. We took photos with members of Cinder Road and a photo with Bucky Covington. They were all very nice. We saw a couple members from Daughtry but they were seemed to be busy going back and forth behind the stage. When asked by someone for a photo Brian Craddock was very gracious and explained that he was not able to at that moment. The staff at the Exit Inn was really trying to get all of the people out except those who had tickets for a meet & greet (not sure how you get those). So we followed the rules and left. We decided to try and wait by the buses because after the Cincinnati show we left and later found out that Chris came out and took photos by his bus. There were about 10-15 of us and some of the people we had met in line earlier. The lead singer from Eve to Adam (Toki) came out and was very nice and said he would go and tell Chris we were out here. Various band members from Cinder Road and Eve to Adam came and spoke with all of us and the lead singer from 3 doors down. Toki was in rare form by the end of the evening since he was celebrating his 30th birthday with some Jack Daniels. It was now 2:30 and we were freezing one of the ladies in the crowd decides to take a chance and go knock at the back door. Well, she gets in and gets a photo with Chris. We are all now waiting outside the door. A guy from the Daughtry crew came out and told us they best way to do this is to form a single line. I begged to let my daughter and I go first because our cab was on the way and we had been here all day. He agreed and so did the others all except one lady. She thought we had been sitting in a car and then just popped in the front of the line (don’t think I would have called a cab if I had a car). A minute later another guy from the Daughtry crew came out and scolded us for being back there. He said we needed to get out of there right now we were not supposed to be back there. Well it was now 2:45 and our cab was here so my daughter and I left. I don’t know if the others were lucky enough to see Chris. We struck out again, still no picture with Chris. After reading a couple of reviews I see that others who did not have meet & greet passes and stayed inside the club were lucky enough to see Chris and his band. Oh well, I know he has to get a bit tired after an exhausting tour schedule. We still love him and loved every minute of our evening. We can’t stop thinking about it and hoping to get to another concert.

Let me tell you the story on how I got to attend your Nashville show. I posted it on this website that I was looking for a ticket to the show, someone responded saying they had one ticket available. After a few emails and phone conversations, we decided to meet at the concert. So because of the wonderful fans you have, I was able to attend the Nashville show. It was incredible, but I wouldn't have expected anything less. I was looking on the website for any pictures of the Nashville concert but didn't see any... if you have some available I would love to see some. My email is tangled.webb@yahoo.com

Thanks for a great show..... God Bless you.. I know being on the road and away from your family must be very difficult for you. Best of luck in the future and I can't wait for the next album.

VIP Entry: I want the VIP experience because not only do I love your music, I also would like to get to know the person behind it. I think the person behind the music is important to liking their music.

I would love to be able to join youin Nashville for the show. I've been a fan scince you started getting air-time and I heard you.The music you guys make is so true to life and hits a soft spot in everyones heart.The music is great...not to hard and not too soft.Keep up the great work and keep that great music coming guys.

Chris' voice and music is amazing! The words of Daughtrys music has touched me in many ways! I love you!

Daughtry is the most amazing thing since, the sun! They are inspiring amazing and they touch the soul. Chris' voice is a true tool for the soul.

I truly enjoyed the concert. Daughtry sounded great too! I felt so lucky to actually even be there. I had alot of problems with my tickets not coming in the mail. Stressed me out big time. Last night was worth all the stressing I've been doing all week waiting for those tickets. Met alot of really nice people there last night too. Hope to receive a few pics since I didn't bring my camera. Don't forget me please!! I Love you guys and can't wait to see you again!!

I had the time of my life last night! Where do I start? Well...my friend, Ashley, and I had to wait in line outside the Exit/In for an hour (we got there a few minutes after 7 and the show didn't start until 9) in the cold but it was totally worth it once we got inside and headed toward the front, as much as we could anyway. We were really close to the stage, even though it felt like we were a bunch of sardines in there, it was all good in the long run. I nearly lost my voice from hollerin' and singin' so much but it was well worth it, let me tell you. I think I converted Ashley to DAUGHTRY too. Oh and Cinder Road and Eve to Adam were awesome too. Riv (the bassist...I think...for Eve to Adam) was smack dab in front of us and he was awesome!! (we were kind of on the side of the stage but could still see everybody). I couldn't see Taki well b/c there were so many people in front of me but once they moved down, I could see the stage a little better. Then, DAUGHTRY came out and I went absolutely nuts! I was so excited that I got to see Chris again! I sang along to almost every song and even though I lost my hollerin' voice, I still sang with 'em. Ashley was rockin' out too and I think she was excited to see the guys too. I loved every single minute of it. I made a poster that said "Chris is My Hero" and held it up at random moments during the concert. I'm pretty sure Chris saw it because I saw him kind of lookin' toward where I was several times. He was pointing out into the crowd and saying "I love you and I love you and you..." and I think he pointed to me when he said that, from what I could tell anyway. Then, during "It's Not Over", he came over to the side where we were facing and looked straight at me and my poster! I do remember him doing that because I was singin' along and there he was! It was so cool. Then, afterwords, Ashley and I hung out for a little while, hoping we would see the guys, or at least one of 'em and sure enough, he comes JP! I'm like "Ashley! It's JP!" so we weaved our way through the crowd and found him. We got our picture made with him! He is SO sweet. After that, we walked around a little bit and saw some of the Cinder Road and Eve to Adam members. I wanted to go talk to Riv but then Ashley saw Brian so we tried to get our picture made with him but he went backstage before we could get to him. Then, I saw Steely! He's definately cuter in person, xD. Ashley wanted to go over to where he was but I told her that we might get in trouble with the security guys.I really wanted to meet him though . On our way out, we were reminiscing on the show when I said to Ashley, "There's Bucky (Covington)!!". She said she told me that 20 minutes before but I guess I was so caught up in everything that I didn't hear her. I wanted to talk to him but the Exit/In people were rushing us out the door so I just hollered "Love You Bucky!" and hoped that he heard me. We talked about the show all the way home, which took a few hours. I'm still pretty hoarse but as I said before, it was well worth it. Thank you Steely, Chris, Joey, JP and Brian for an amazing show. I will never forget it. I love ya'll so much!

I am one of Chris Daughtry's biggest fans!! I have loved him from the first time I saw him on American Idol. And yes I cried like a baby when he was voted off. I was so excited when I found out that he had a CD comming out. I bought it the day it came out. I just went to see him in Nashville. It was GREAT !!!! I will buy more tickets to Daughtry.

Ohhh, where do I start! This was the BEST concert of all time! We had an all around awesome experience. Upon arrival, we stood in line starting around 2:45 and were the fourteenth and fifteenth persons in the line. We never dreamed that we would be right in front of the stage and be able to actually put our hands on the stage! Daughtry and the guys had an unbelievable performance! I was very impressed with their stage presence, all around performance, and crowd interaction......EVERYTHING! You guys are the greatest!
After the show, my friend (fellow teacher) and I mingled with the members of the band and found them to be so genuinely friendly, humble, and sweet. We really enjoyed just talking to the guys and learning more about their lives. It is easy to see how much these guys care for each other and their families. We got our picture made with Josh & Josh Paul, Kelli Pickler, and Bucky Covington! So cool! Once Chris let his vocal chords rest, he came out for just a few minutes and we were able to get a photo with him too! He was in a hurry to return backstage with his friends though. This whole experience just doesn't seem real! Thank you all for an incredible night! DAUGHTRY ROCKS!

Oh! I would LOVE to see the concert tonight! Anyone have an extra ticket?? PLEASE!!????

I hear Mark Perry, the guitarist of Chris's old band, Absent Element, will be at the show tonight. Keep your eyes peeled and show him some love.

Well, I posted on this board that I needed a ticket to come to the Nashville show, and someone responded with they had one ticket available and NOW I"M GOING. Daughtry fans are the best. Thank you to "you-know-who" and I can't wait to meet you. Thank you, thank you!! Look forward to tonight!!!

Well, I ordered tickets from someone on ebay and I've already paid, but I'm still waiting for them in the mail. I was so excitied about my boyfriend and I going, now who knows. I hope to see you there
Maybe they will be in the mail tomorrow.

Lisa In Kentucky

Okay I AM the luckiest person in the world I won 2 tickets yesterday AND get to meet him back stage...I CANNOT WAIT!!!

I have been catching up on the Blogs left by Daughtry. Thanks for the updates, keep up the intimate contact with your fans, read one review about an meet and greet- that did not go well... I have to disagree. Seen you in Louisville, very approachable- very kind, and gave your fans 110%. Keep it up. Cant wait to see you in Nashville, and in Memphis- trying to make arrangements to go to Chattanooga... my 10 year old son thinks you guys are awsome, I would like to take him there!

Take care, God Bless, and keep the good spirit- I could only imagine how exhausting and monotonous every night must get! But, it is fresh and new to us... Looking forward to some new releases on the radio!

XOXO

I'm so excited for 4/5!! It's gonna be so much fun. YAY!
C'mon guys, show Nashville what rockin' out is!

DAUGHTRY's Biggest Fan

Just attended in Louisville, got tickets to Nashville, need one more...

Amazing, I have great video- so electric... very hot, got drenched with water... but, hey- we were all soaking wet. The sound was great, the set up was so personal- I could touch the stage... Chris came out into the crowd on the finale... it was awsome... BIGGEST FAN! Really. Going to Memphis music fest... they will be there too! Hey, if I did not have a family and a full time job, I would follow the tour bus around the country... the performance is that good! GREAT JOG GUYS! Your awsome!

LCH in Kentucky

I ordered my tickets off ebay and had to pay a pretty penny. Still waiting for them in the mail. I can't wait to see them in Nashville. I know it will be great. Daughtry excites me. I love listening to them!
Lisa from Kentucky:-)

i don't know wether your sold out or not!! on the home page it does not say you all are sold out or not ! but on this page it states TICKET STATUS: SOLD OUT then underneath that it states SEVEN FANS ARE ATTENDING. what in the world is goin' on???

Me and three of my girlfriends scored tickets the morning that they went on sale but I dont understand on here it says all ages but on my ticket it says 18 and over only it is a night club and I dont see people bring there kids.. I cant wait till next Thursday its goin to be the best night ever Hope everyone has fun.

for those of you who cannot make the April 5 Nashville concert, consider going to Chattanooga on June 9th. Daughtry is singing at Riverfest in Chattanooga on that date. cost is that of a ticket to the fest.

I am the second member of the "Teacher Duo" whose mission is to skip school to actually MEET Chris Daughtry! The excitement is building especially after reading the rave reviews from fans about other concert events. I can't wait!!! I know this will be an unforgetable experience!
CChappell

I'm a middle school teacher, and my co-worker and I are skipping school to see Daughtry in Nashville!!! I think we deserve backstage passes!!!

"I am still looking for tickets for the show too. My daughter and I would love to see the band play live. Yeah I wish it was a bigger venue as well. I think it would have been sold out no matter how large a venue but more people wold get to enjoy it. Maybe next time! Everyone who is getting to go, congrats and I hope you have lots of fun!! :)"

Can't wait for the date. Had to pay a pretty penny to get my hands on the tickets but it will all be worth it to see you guys. See you in NAshville!!

My Husband and I will be there in Nashville. We are excited and are coming from the Panhandle of FL. Our favorite radio station Z-96, Helen Back and Red Strip are sending us up to see you in Concert. We are looking forward to it!

I'll be there and can't wait to see Chris again! Got my tickets as soon as they went on sale (before the Scalpers emptied the shelves..lol). Also going to catch Daughtry at Memphis in May festival and possibly Riverbend in Chattanooga. Can't tell that I love them, can ya?

I wish they had picked a larger venue - any chance it could change and more tickets go on sale?
