ok, i thought i had put a review of the show on here already, but obviously it didn't stay... lol oh well, i guess i just get to describe it when i'm not exhausted! lol let's see....
AMAZING! AWESOME! FABULOUS! EXCITING! EMOTIONAL! IMPRESSIVE! SUCCESS! shall i go on? i have not been to many concerts in my life, but i have to say that any other concert i attend in my future will have to be pretty dang impressive to outshine this one! it was so worth standing in line for 6 hours, and i would do it again anytime just to see daughtry perform! cinder road and eve to adam did a magnificent job also, but i have to admit i was holding out for daughtry to take over! i did think it was really awesome that the other guys came out and put on a show for us on the rock wall, and came over and talked to the fans. they are all super nice and very friendly! we had a great time just watching them play around, and also getting to meet all the other gals in line around us. i was pretty disappointed when i didn't get the vip tix, as i had hardly slept at all the 4 or 5 days before the concert, just staying logged into my email waiting and praying for that email to be sent my way. but we knew we would still have a great time up there, and we sure did!
i had watched (and voted for) chris from day one on american idol, and was crushed when he was sent home. but i knew it wouldn't be the last time we would see mr. daughtry! i was so excited when i heard he was coming to joplin, and got my tix right away. the countdown to daughtry seemed to take forever, but then finally the big day arrived. we got there a little before noon, and just squealed when we saw the busses already in the parking lot. lol we were in line from about 1 pm until the doors opened, and then rushed like crazy people to get our place at the front of the room. it worked, as we got pretty much right up front. we only had 4 great little kids in front of us, which worked out great for me as I'm kinda vertically challenged. the band came out first, and then out came chris. the whole crowd was screaming at the top of their lungs, and everyone was totally pumped for a great concert. and the boys didn't disappoint us either! i honestly can't remember what order they sang the songs in, but they did almost the whole album, and then another song that i am ashamed to say i have not heard before. but chris sang it so wonderfully, and i loved how great the guys played together. you really couldn't have asked for a better group of guys. i loved how chris and the guys interacted with the crowd, and they made it so personable for everyone. my nite was totally made when he reached down and i got to grab his hand, even tho it was only for a few seconds. this girl can now die happy! lol
security was very tight, and that was the only bad thing about the whole thing. but we did get the honor of meeting jp, and he is the funniest guy you can imagine. he was so nice, and autographed my shirt and took a couple pics with me. i also got to meet the guys from cinder and they all autographed my cd. we were then ushered outside and we were just gonna try to hang out in the parking lot for a bit, but security made us leave there also. but it was still a great nite, and much more than i could have ever hoped for! the other concerts somewhat close to me are already sold out, so unless i win some vip's, i doubt i will get to see them for some time. but it was still a great experience, and one i will never forget! it's been a week now since that concert, and i still can't stop glowing and raving about it. it still seems kinda surreal, but i have the pics to prove i was actually there. lol anyways, i'll quit rambling for now, but i will forever be....
YOU GUYS ROCKED MY WORLD IN JOPLIN!!!!
