Do we know what time Daughtry is hitting the stage?? I know it said 2:00pm on the ticketmaster site, but I thought I read that the fair runs from 2-10pm on Sunday, I doubt they would start right away.

It is going to be hot and if they aren't going to start until 9pm, I don't want to to be there for 7 hours before they perform. I also want to see LIVE perform on the same day and want to try to coordinate.

Any info on the start times, would be greatly appreciated.

Just got my seats for the show...I am so psyched!! I really hope that the $75 seats are in front of the stage(I hate buying tix without a seating chart).

Can't wait till August...see you all there!

P.S. Mary, I agree with you...I too wish LIVE were playing on the main stage with Daughtry(but at least they are playing on the same date, at the same venue, so we can see them play)! I saw LIVE perform at the Blue Claws stadium last year and they sounded great. Do you think since Chris & Ed are going to be in the same place we can get a repeat of the AI finale where they sang 'Mystery' together?? How hot would that be??

Thank you so much for responding. I am laughing right now, because I had gone out to bestbuy.com to review camera options, after I posted my question. I was reading reviews of newer cameras & found one that said it took awesome concert photos(the person had seen the person in front of them taking great photos while their camera sucked) and was just thinking of going to the store to buy it. I decided to check if you responded....and it turns out the camera I was thinking of buying is the same, TZ3!!! How weird!!

That's great that you have friends who let you sit up front for Daughtry. I am a huge Bon Jovi fan too and have been going to their shows since 1987. However, my number is not as impressive as yours at 65!

Enjoy the show tonight (I know I will! It doesn't get much better than Daughtry & Bon Jovi playing the same show!!)...and take some more great photos!

Lisa-
First off, let me thank you for posting those amazing photos. I am like you and always find myself snapping photos the entire time, however my pictures never look that good!!

What kind of camera do you own and where was your seat? It looks like you are on stage with them!

I am going to tonights show, 3/3...and would be willing to go out to buy a new camera if I could get pics like yours. Both of the cameras I own, take crappy pics at concerts.

If you don't mind letting me know about the camera, I'd appreciate it.

Just got home from the show a little while ago and I have to say that it was great! To Daughtry: thanks for giving all of us a kick a** show(even though you weren't feeling well Chris)!! I got to forget about all of the BS in my life for the entire time you guys were onstage. Can't wait to see you again in March (maybe by then my throat will stop being sore from singing along so much tonight.LOL)!!

My only complaint about tonight, and I know the band doesn't control this, but the tix said the show started at 7:00pm-so we got there at 7:00pm figuring we would probably catch the end of the opening act-but the show didn't start until 8:00pm??!! Then there were 2 opening acts, so by the time they played and reset the stage(twice), it was 10:00pm before Daughtry went on stage. So we were in our seats 3 hours before Daughtry played a note. It made for a very long night. Great but long.

Daughtry: you were definitely worth the wait...I just wish we would have known the correct starting time before leaving the house.

Rock on guys....IrishJrsyGirl

P.S. Chris I hope you feel better real soon! And those Grammy's should have been yours!!!

Here is a pic of Chris from last night:

Every song on this album is a hit!! What a way to start your music career. I can't remember the last time I bought a CD and loved every song on it??!! It is so rare.

Can't wait for the next album to be released. You guys definitely rock!!
