I jumped all over her ticket offer and NADA! She's read my PM, but never responded! I just want a yes or no, you know? I SO want to go to this concert!

All I can say is FREAKIN’ AMAZING!!!! The guys were ON tonight in Tampa and we rocked the house! They started with “You Don’t Belong” which is so powerful live and Chris came out in the cowboy hat! THUD! The crowd response was excellent, despite the talking losers behind me! We had a couple in their 50s next to us whom came to see Bon Jovi, but told us they’d purchased the DAUGHTRY CD recently just because they knew they were openers. And, they LOVED it! So, we all rocked it together! Woo Hoo! Oh, and the hoochie mama’s were out in full force!

Just popping in to see if there was any news on the VIPs for this concert yet. I'm flying in from Iowa and I can't wait!! Apparently my seats are main floor center, so the anticipation is killing me!!!

Can't wait to see you all!!! Good luck everyone!

I appreciate you taking the time to come read what I posted. I'm glad you felt the love from the crowd! I was screaming and singing my fool head off! Hopefully you saw my banner on here, since they didn't let me wave and hang it there for you to see!! Rawk on!

Oh, please, please don't use my review as fodder to not go to the shows! That's exactly what DAUGHTRY doesn't need!! I didn't post this to breed controversy or stir up conflict! Yikes! It's merely my version and opinion of what went down last night. I'm sad for them and I'm hoping that we can all rally and come out in force to show them the love and support that they so deserve.

If you've already had the 2007 DAUGHTRY experience, then you may be disappointed with this tour. But, if you can afford it, then by all means GO and scream your lungs out in support of our guys!

They take the stage around 7:40. Arena is about ¾ capacity at this point. I’m already sad for them since the house is not yet full. Then I get a good look at their “stage”. Pathetic really, the amount of space they are given. Some of the private gigs from last year gave them more space than this tiny spot. Joey is way out in front giving the guys like 10 or 12 feet in front of him to do their thing. Poor Josh Paul was so confined, I really felt for him. Brian and Steely never left their sides of the stage. Chris moved around a little more and did come up on the ramps on each side of the stage once. That was nice for the fans in those sections. They were really working hard with what they had, but clearly this show was not about them, at all.
I was ready with the camera to record the new song that Chris said would open the show, “You Don’t Belong.” But, then heard the familiar background of “Crashed” out first. Huh, I wondered what had happened, but suspected they just decided to put in it somewhere else later. Nope, I was wrong. Set list was: “Crashed, What I Want, It’s Not Over, Breakdown, What About Now/Walk the Line, Over You, Feels Like Tonight and Home.” What? No “There and Back Again?” I was ready for Josh Paul to shine. I wanted to bounce the house! And, no new song anywhere. I was crushed. I was so ready for it, and nada. It felt cramped. It felt rushed. It felt cold (the stage). It was short. The guys did the best with what they were given. They rocked it as best they could and didn't disappoint.

Ok, so I must preface this before I get started. I’m a SPOILED amazing, crazy, hardcore, diehard DAUGHTRY fan. I was fortunate enough to see the guys 6 times in 2007 in smaller venues and usually as the headliner. Those experiences spoiled me. The following is my review of the Omaha concert with DAUGHTRY opening to the headliner Bon Jovi. This concert was the first in this tour.
My preparation for this concert started months ago. I’ll spare you all the gorey details as I’m sure you’ve heard about them already – lost tickets, found tickets, Ebay tickets, etc. The next step in my head was to score some VIP Meet and Greet passes. I’d hoped to get them through the DO, but to no avail. But, I had another card up my sleeve, or so I thought. I’m pretty good friends with one of the DJs on one of our radio stations. She said she’d hook me up if she could, so I kept up hope. It took the station forever to announce that yes they would be giving away only one set of M&G passes and you had to win tickets from them in order to qualify. The kicker was that only the morning show jocks were giving away the tickets. Well, this girl get’s moving pretty darn early, but there is no time to listen to the morning show, so guess that wasn’t happening.
So, my next thought was to stalk. Nope, not happening either. The temperature here got to a balmy 13 degrees and felt even colder with the howling wind. The buses were hidden and I figured the guys were likely laying low inside out of the weather and gearing up for this first show.
So, I busied myself with finishing my banner. I knew I had front row of the section I was in, so figured I could hang a cool banner to get their attention. It turned out great! I was so excited!

Hubby is gunning for Husband Of The Year! Just surprised me with a 3 day package trip to Tampa that includes VIP Floor Tickets to this show!!!! OMG, Florida, DAUGHTRY and no kids!!! Yippppeeee!!!
