It was great! I went away right after your show and just got back to post this "Thank you!" Had me laughing! So glad you had such a wonderful time!!!

Hi guys, I posted a brief recap in the forum under the columbia thread. I guess that was the wrong place. SORRY! Mary.. It was wonderful to meet you!! You are def. such a sweet person! Can't wait to see you in Charleston! Your recap was great. Sorry you didn't get to actually see them. I did see you come out after the soundcheck and had wondered where you went. Also, i don't remember who that big guy was who was sayin that to you. maybe it was at that point that I had left to take my daughter outside! I dunno. I do know that we had your back girl! Nicole, one of the first 2 women in line, me, my 2 friends were all talking to make sure you did not have a problem being in front cause we knew that's where ya shoulda been. Sorry I wasn't there.
Daughtryrocksga~ wow! we were so close and didn't even know it! You can see me in your pic right behind Josh's head! I wished i had known.

I have a friend that went too and she said that her friend whom she attended the show with knew someone who worked there that said that the venue had oversold by 200 tickets! WOW! i knew it was packed but geez!! We had heard at some point during the day that Chris was very sick and may cancel but Like everyone said, when he sang, you really couldn't tell! It was a great show and it made my daughter's day to be there! i will post some pics soon!

here is the link to my recap...

I think you might have been behind Gwen Stacey, Rebekeh and me Gwen said she thought it was you but,,,,I said it couldn't be because you would have been right up front since you got VIP.

We really looked for you. I got some great pics after the show at the buses.

MY REVIEW is in my BLOG

This was the best time I have had in years! The morning of the concert I won Meet and Greet tickets! I am so glad you did not cancel the concert or the meet and greet. It meant so much to your fans here in Columbia! Can't wait to see you again.

I'm late in posting but had to put my 2 cents worth in....the concert was spectacular! I had been waiting to see Chris perform live for over a year. It was everything I hoped for and then some. The venue could have been larger....man, we were packed in there like sardines! If you had to go to the potty you were in trouble because it was hard as heck to get back in and back to your spot. I'd love to know how many people were there. I'd say the best performance was "There and Back Again"...full of energy. The crowd sang along to all the songs (almost as loud as Chris). Loved the way he got the crowd into the songs as much as possible. Bottom line - well worth the wait!

CHRIS, YOU AND THE GUYS WERE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING TUESDAY NIGHT IN COLUMBIA, SC. I BOUGHT YOUR CD THE FIRST WEEK IT CAME OUT. IT'S ONE OF THE BEST CD'S I'VE PURCHASED IN MANY YEARS. I WAS SO EXCITED WAITING TO SEE THE SHOW AND YOU SURPASSED ALL EXPECTATIONS I HAD AND THEN SOME. THE ONLY THING THAT COULD HAVE TOPPED IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MEETING YOU AND THE BAND PERSONALLY. (HOPEFULLY ANOTHER TIME)!

IT'S AMAZING WHAT A "YOUNG" GROUP YOU ARE, WITH THIS BEING YOUR FIRST ALBUM. THE TALENT, MUSIC, PERFORMACE AND PROFESSIONALISM YOU GIVE AS A BAND WOULD MAKE PEOPLE BELEAVE THAT YOU'LD BEEN PLAYING TOGETHER FOR 20 YEARS.

YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION TO ALL UP AND COMING MUSICIANS WHO KEEP THE FAITH AND DON'T GIVE UP.

MAY YOU ALL HAVE MANY YEARS OF SUCCESS IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY AND YOUR PERSONAL LIVES.

SO, WHEN'S THE NEXT ALBUM COMING OUT???

GOD BLESS AND HOPE YOUR FEELING BETTER.

The show was soooo great! Not only did I get alot of great pics, but i got close enough to the stage that chris touched my hand!!!UNFORGETTABLE!!!

Last night was one of the best concerts I have been to. Chris you rock. Hope you feel better soon. You were still amazing last night!!

The show was amazing last night!..and even though Chris was sick it was still amazing..Chris, hope you feel better soon!

I would give you 10 or even a cadrillion if you had that many stars! I took 4 freakin videos and I'm scared to count how many pictures! You were SO awesome! I'm so blessed to have had my very 1st rock concert be you! It was (like the person below states) phenomenal! I really hope you come back!!

The show was absolutely phenominal. I couldn't have asked for more. Thanks for giving it all you got even though you were sick! Take care and get well!

I definitely cannot wait to see this show! We just got tickets today off of Ebay and me and my friend are freakin out! I really hope you, Chris, are staying after to sign Merch! I would love to have your prelly autograph on your c-d!! And maybe on a homemade shirt that we're going to make (me and my friend) before the show!

I CAN'T WAIT!

Just checked the weather.....92 degrees on Tuesday in Columbia!!! Better bring your sunblock and plenty of water......waiting in line is going to be a scorcher!!

No matter the temp....it is worth it....but take heed. I do not want anyone missing the show due to heat stroke! Save that for the show!

Are we ready????

It is going to be an amazing show.......I cannot wait. I am soooooo excited!!!!!!!

Chris, you ROCK!!!!!
Would love to meet you in person! You seem like a most genuine guy (a rare thing these days). You are such a great role model and I would like to thank you in person for being such a positive influence in today's world!!
Can't wait to see you on the 29th!!!!!

I should win because I cried when Chris was voted off AI and because I'm leaving the family at home.

--
Sheadyoh!!

I’d love to win cause it’s the only way I can see Chris

I LOVE Daughtry! I followed Chris throughout all of American Idol Season 5. I was glad he didn't win because he was not confined to the Idol label and was free to make is own record, which is AWESOME!

I think I should win the VIP prize because my 26th birthday is Wednesday, 5/30, and what better way to celebrate than at a Daughtry concert?!?

Less than a week....who is getting excited!!!!

Still crowding my space are the things you still hold against me

I want to win this VIP because I want so much to tell Chris how proud I am of him!

Not gonna lie or guilt you into picking me,
Just wanna be "blown away" and meet Daughtry with VIP!

Loved you since we first heard you! Would love to rock it out with yall! Bring some NC BBQ!

Seriously guys---now’s not time to “breakdown” and pick anyone else! Repeat aloud this: “I’ve got it! Here’s the winner!!”

Mom & Daughter luv C.D. in SC

Try to laugh when your sad, cry when your happy, then all the rest is history except for your voice.
