Tech crew???
I was at the show with my son and hubby on the 30th @ Summerfest (Harley Davidson) and the show was good but since my son is in a wheelchair we sat on the Handicapped stage. The problem came along when the tech crew (staged behind us) got upset because we were "blocking the camera." Then, the "Production manager" (Thats what he called himself) stood right in my son's way and when my husband politely asked him to slide over he told him that he could stand wherever he wanted because he made the whole show and without him there wouldn't be a show. I might be mistaken, by I think it is THE BAND that makes the show, and I could care less about sound effects or lights, Daughtry is great without it. If anyone who can do anything about that reads this, keep in mind that the Harley Davidson company put on your show and they spent over 20 minutes talking about the $$6 mil +$$ they raised for md kids while you were still preping or whatever cuz you came in late. My son disappointedly asked to leave because he couldn't see on the stage that was built specifically for people like him. You should know that he loves your band and if given another opportunity, he would go to your show in a heartbeat! I only wish I could still say that.

~*~ Pledge Mamma #35 (Airlie) ~*~ One of the DOGGs!!! DAUGHTRY fans are ageless!!
I know that Daughtry takes their fans very seriously! So please don't let that experience make you not take your son to another Daughtry concert. I am quite sure it will be addressed..... I hate that this happened to you and am truly sorry... But please give the guys a chance to make it better!
Hope you and your son get to attend another Daughtry concert in the future and it is an amazing experience which I am sure it will be!

Live, laugh, love with all your heart! And.. Be true to yourself!
HUGS, LOVE and GOD Bless!
TPTB will see this and address it. I'm sure the members of DAUGHTRY would be quite unhappy to know that this happened. Bringing it to their attention will hopefully prevent it in the future.
So sorry for your bad experience. Please know that the members of DAUGHTRY are not like this AT ALL and usually go out of their way for their fans especially the children!
