About that..I agree 2 opening bands was too much. Daughtry performed for about an hour and a half +/-. It was worth the wait but a little irritating sitting through the other acts, the first of which was (sorry to say) pretty bad. The second, pretty good.

This is the 4th time I've seen Daughtry and it just gets better and better. The light show was awesome. Chris's new song "Back to Me" is just beautiful. He writes and sings with such beautiful emotion. He sang "Imagine" better than Lennon himself.

There was some technical difficulty with Chris's mike cutting out during the entire performance of "What I Want." The band played on while Chris exited the stage after trying 2 dead mikes. When the guys finished the song, Chris reappeared and echoed what the audience was thinking "That sucked!" He asked if we heard any of his vocals and after a resounding "NO" from the crowd, he declared "Let's do it again." It was really cute and funny and he had such a connection with his fans. His personality and sense of humor was showcased last night more than any other time I've seen him. He has obviously become more comfortable on stage.

Josh S's reggae version of "Crazy Train" was cute and Joey's kilt was...ummmm a brave fashion choice.

The band has melded together so well and is so in sync. It warms my heart to see Chris enjoying the success he deserves. Love you Chris! Merry Christmas and may God bless you and your beautiful family in 2008
