The show was frikkin' awesome! We managed to sneak up to 2nd row dead center right in front of Da Man himself *shock* for almost all of the guys performance before the owners of those seats finally showed up to claim them and then we had to move back to our own 5th row seats (on Steeley's side) where we still had a pretty amazing view of the rest of the show. Most of the crowd all around us were on their feet for our guys screaming and singing along and nearly every seat was filled!!! I was just so excited and happy and proud for Chris and the guys that everyone was showing them so much love!!! OMG, I just have to tell ya'll that You Don't Belong really is absolutely amazing to see the guys do live!!! The guys were even better than I've seen them at all 7 shows I've been to so far and Chris's voice was absolute perfection for every song. *biglove* When he started singing What About Now and added some of Walk The Line we both could not stop screaming at the top of our lungs, and yeah I've lost my voice (again) for the past 2 days, but it really was soooo worth it!!! It was like a dream come true to be there and hear Chris sing that one live finally!! The only complaint that either one of us had at all is that they didn't play nearly long enough... only 8 songs and they were done. It felt like they had just started playing and all of a sudden they were doing There And Back Again and then *poof* they were gone! Still wouldn't have missed this chance to see them for anything in the world and am so thankful that I could actually be here to see them again w/ my bff Rhonda.

Gotta say that Bon Jovi was frikkin' awesome too!!! They played for 3 entire hours and we were rockin' out so hard that by the end of the show we were both physically exhausted and soaked in sweat from so much screaming and dancing and we're sore all over even still today, lol! WOW it really was such a great night!!! Good gawd that man has still got it going on even after all of these years! The absolute best part of the entire night was when Jon started singing Blaze Of Glory and yeah we got lucky and Chris came out and joined him!!! *sigh* Holy crap! It was like I'd died and went straight to heaven!!! I have always loved Bon Jovi ever since the 80's but I must say that Chris' voice totaIly blew Jon outta the water!!! I did manage to get a video of it and am trying to upload it to youtube but the file is so big (284 mb) and the hotel's internet connection is soooo frikkin' slow that it looks like I probably won't be able to upload it til I get back home after the next 5 shows. Didn't take too many pics though cuz' I knew the show was gonna be short and I wanted to relish as much of it as possible, but I did get a few really good ones... but duh stupid me still haven't learned how to use my new camera that great yet cuz' I just got it right before I left and I didn't realize that it was set at the highest possible settings which are way too big to upload to my Photo Bucket til I can get them resized, so sorry but I can't even share any pics yet either. But I will post all of the videos and pics that I get from all 6 shows when I get back home, that is if I can actually make it back home alive after the last show in FL on the 29th, lol.

We also met up w/ one of my swooning sisters ValA after the show and hung out til' 3 AM and had a frikkin' blast together!!! We were laughing so hard I nearly peed my pants, lol! It really was great meeting ya and hangin' out w/ ya Val! Hope ya have a great time at the show w/ Brandy in Oklahoma Monday night and keepin' my fingers crossed for ya to finally meet the guys there!!! Maybe you'll run into "the Goo Man" there and he can protect ya'll, rotflmao!

Can't wait for the next show here on Tuesday night! *heavy sigh* I don't think I'll ever be able to get enough of our guys!!! They are just like a drug and I'm sure enough hooked on them!!! I plan to try and OD on Daughtry during these next 2 weeks, ha ha! If it kills me at least I know I'll definitely die happy!

Hope ya have a great time!!!

Are we there yet? Can't wait to see ya again Gina! OMG I can't believe the great seats we got on the front floor! It's really gonna be a blast!

*~Thanks RockN2Chris~*

YAY!!! I'm just sooooo friggin' excited that I'm finally gonna see Daughtry again! Plus I also get to see Bon Jovi live for my very first time!!! And with my best friend who I haven't seen since last September! Holy crap! It's almost like I died and went to heaven! OMG, I've been a huge Bon Jovi fan since the 80's and I can't believe that somehow we managed to get floor tix in section 3 row 5 for this show!!! We have floor tix to the 4-22 show as well in section 4 row 2, not quite as good but still not too shabby at all, lol! Somebody please pinch me so I know that I'm not just dreaming! *screams*

Very nice pics! Thanks for sharing. OMG, you really did get so lucky being front row girl! I bet you felt just like you were in heaven, huh? I'm hoping maybe we'll get lucky and be able to swap seats w/ some Bon Jovi fans during Daughtry when at the Ft. Lauderdale show next month. We've got 4th row seats there. Wish me luck, ok?

I really do appreciate the advice. I went ahead and picked up a spare battery and called Panasonic, but yeah it turns out the max size compatible memory card is 2 GB so I just got 2 of those to total 4 GB's. Do you think that will be enough for 2 shows worth of pics plus a couple of videos? About how many pics does 1 GB store at highest quality resolution? Also, which picture mode do you use to get your pics so amazingly clear? Is there a special concert mode or something?
I can't wait til' the camera gets here so that I can start playing around w/ it. I have to admit that I only bought this model camera because I was so impressed w/ the quality of your pics, lol. I'm hoping to get some really good pics myself in Ft. Lauderdale from the 4th row. I'll be at the show in Tampa too, but our seats are not as good there, in section 103. Well, thanks again for all of your input.
