I had such a good time at the concert with my girlfriend, i just got us some theatre tickets now and think she'll enjoy this as well. NYC has some great shows.

but i just wanted to say that this concert basically changed my life.. & i know that might sound a lil cheesy but its true! lol. it was my 2nd time seeing the guys.. and my first time meeting them. ahhh. that was so surreal. its still even hard to believe. im still asking ppl to pinch me. lol. ive seen them again sense this show, and im planning on seeing them a 4th time in march. words cant describe how much i love daughtry!!!

Ok, went to the concert as enjoying his music to LOVING his music. And the band. Great connections.
I'm offically hooked.

I'm a little late in writing this, but did want to say that I thought the show in Raleigh was fantastic! It was my first Daughtry concert (and for my niece and nephew, their first concert EVER). We all enjoyed ourselves. I flew in from Ottawa, Canada for it -- and it was well worth the trip! Really glad I got to see you guys -- y'all were awesome!

Want to thank Traci Lynn (jetlag_rdu1) for the tickets. My trip revolved around seeing the show and she made it happen! For that, I'm extremely grateful.

Hope to see you again when you're next in town (my town, this time!).

Take care and keep up the great music!

Well.. all I can say is... AWESOME PERFORMANCE guys! There are really no words to describe the concert.. it "blew me away"!! ALWAYS DOES!!! This makes my 3rd concert.. and more to come I am sure!!!! Chris ROCKED the house.. "HOME SWEET HOME"... Joey JAMMED / ROCKED on the drums... damn.. is he not good or what... JP... nothing like JP bouncing around on that stage.. wouldn't have been the same without him there.... Steely... ah.. Steely... you are simply AMAZING.. and Brian... rockin' the house too! Ya'll were AWESOME!!!! I am so proud of all of you.. how far you have come!!!! I hate that we didn't get to see much of Chris and Brian... Did get my JP and Steely hug... and Joey... got my Joey hug and smooches too... He is so wonderful.. he stayed around (was catching later flight) to sign autographs until the last "friend not fan" left... Just like Joey.. that is simply just JOEY!!!! You ALL were awesome.. put on a great show... and always make NC VERY PROUD!!!!

I had some extra tkts. and I sold them to Kathy from Canada... found her here on Daughtry Official... she was going to go see DAUGHTRY in Ottawa.. and couldn't make it.. she had family in Cary, NC ... and when I found out that she had never seen them and wanted to go up in Ottawa ... I knew I wanted to make her a very happy FAN... I met up with her brother and sold my extra tkts. to her / him. Finally.. after the show.. I met her ... and was so glad that she had such a great time!!! I was so glad that I was able to help someone from so far away get to see their first DAUGHTRY concert .. here at HOME too... that was great!!!! Very nice girl.. KATHY .. GLAD I COULD DO THAT FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!

Everytime DAUGHTRY performs .. it's always heart pounding.. and the ENTIRE ARENA is singing along.. every word... LOVED the "body surfing" that Chris did at end of show.... YA'LL SIMPLY ROCKED!!!!!! ALWAYS DO!!!!!!

So.. here's to TN.. (gonna try to get tkt to that one) ... GREENSBORO.. (wish us all luck.. HOME SWEET HOME AGAIN) and CHARLOTTE... we'll see.. but no matter what.. This was the BEST DAUGHTRY CONCERT I have been to yet...

Here's to you guys.. you deserve the NOMINATIONS you got.. and TO WIN ALL!!!!!

OH.. and get this.. my 71 yr. old mother went in to see the concert too... and she was blown away.. loved it.. had a blast!!! I am glad that she finally got to see Chris in person perform.. she watched IDOL and this was an experience that she will never forget.. she even stuck it out to get a "JOEY" autograph and talk to him.. she absolutely loves him...

THANK YOU ALL FOR WHO YOU ARE.. HAVE BECOME!!!

Your Friend... Much Love!!!

Daughtry was ROCKIN the Dorton Arena. No matter how many times I listen to Daughtry they never cease to amaze me. Can you believe when Chris said "Is everyone having fun" the boys sitting behind us said NO!!!! This changed really fast, we mad them yell, chant and sing along with us. After this they did not want the concert to end. I thought the concert at Blossom was awesome but this one blew that one out of the water. This was a great experience that I will never forget, but it was not just the concert that made it so wonderful. After the show waiting by the tour buses and talking with other Daughtry fans and speaking with the band was incredible. I feel as if I made new life long friends and I am looking forward to seeing you all again. A big thanks to Joey for sticking it out for so long so that everyone got their pic or autograph and even hugs and kisses...Eye-wink What a great guy he even chatted with the girl who had no clue who is was....how funny was that...love ya all

Who needs Red Bull "Daughtry gives you wings".....Eye-wink

This show was one of two (my 1st DAUGHTRY concert) of the most amazing shows Ive ever been too... I drove about 5 hours to Raleigh, NC to see DAUGHTRY.... Painted my windows all up with DAUGHTRY stuff and made them a poster !! Best thing of all-- they didn't fail me, they were outstanding as I knew they would be.... Our seats were pretty good, but the best part was how great Joey was after the show... Thanks for sticking it out and hanging out with the couple of us that you did for so long .... And the picture = AMAZING .... Thanks for the KISS * too hA*... Hope your flight to Paris was safe ... I miss you guys already and can't wait until the next one.... You rocked the house....

Daughtry was definitely the highlight of the state fair! They totally rocked the Dorna Arena! Chris, JP, Joey, Brian and Steely are awesome. I am definitely hooked! I think I finally getting my voice back! Being front row is unlike anything else, it was awesome! Can’t wait till yall come back “home” so I can rock out with you guys again. I got a picture with Joey! =) Hopefully next show I will get one with Chris ( but I did get his water bottle LoL) Smiling Have safe trip! And come back “HOME” soon!

i hate to sound like a total dork, but the one thing that i kept thinking about during the whole (incredibly awesome!) show was how proud i am of this chris daughtry fella. i dont know him personally but i was brought to tears thinking about just a couple years ago he was probably only dreaming of playing to a sold out crowd, and now thats all he ever does! and he is so humble! his voice is amazing and seeing the whole band play together, it was quite the experience! i was happy to accompany my sister to her first concert, which i know she (nor i) will never forget! i hope you guys keep making music for a long long long time!

~~RIE HEARTS DAUGHTRY~ :0)

yea, he found his mom...I asked him when we saw him on sunday morning....he smiled!

--
Daughtry...one addiction that I am proud of!

We were also outside hanging out, chatting it up and getting photos with Joey... I've never been more impressed by the show of support Joey gave us fans that night. (And, poor guy, did he EVER find his Mom?)

Let's keep it real and keep it positive for boys we LOVE!

Rock On Daughtry lovers!

I****************Origianl post that i am replying to was deleted by RCA.....just leaving this here for the poster to read, if she comes back!**************
If you are his cousin...you would not be postin on here...i saw joey after the show and he was looking for his mom! and kept asking "where is my mom!"
so family does matter!
anyways....I saw you and your sign..if it is true that you are his cousin..you would not need a sign.

Plus..if you were talking to tracy and ken....they did not see chris all week either.....i was standing with them while they were trying to get in to see him!

these boys are busy! While i was in the front row...i could see chris constantly looking for his family in the audience. His mind was on his family...as i am sure joey's was!

Please...we dont post negativity things on our Daughtry official website.
Please,,,keep family matters in the family!

we love ya joey! Hope you finally made it to Paris.....saw you in the hotel the next morning at check out! thanks!

Daughtry...one addiction that I am proud of!

I sent my picture with me, my boyfriend, and Chris to WRAL and it won the GOLO NC State Fair picture of the day for Sunday! Now it's in the running for the grand prize (which isn't much of anything, but it would still be cool to win) The picture is supposed to portray the NC State Fair experience...and if anyone agrees that Daughtry was definitely the HIGHLIGHT of the state fair this year, then it would you Daughtry fans who also experienced it or who would have loved to! So, you can imagine...meeting Chris Daughtry for the first time AND getting a picture with him was the highlight of my NC State Fair experience this year and I think it deserves to win! If you guys want to stand behind me in saying that a picture with Chris definitely DOES portray the NC State Fair experience...then vote for me! I have NO votes so far...people have even gone so far to say that Chris needs to get sent to Great Cuts for a shave...they obviously don't realize WHO Chris is....he's CHRIS DAUGHTRY..he doesn't HAFTA shave!!! (lol) The voting lasts until tomorrow (October 24th)...so please vote for Picture #10...I would SO appreciate it!

Here's the site:

Thanks Daughtry Fans! =)

Thanks guys for continuing to work so hard to bring us such fun through your shows!! As usual, Chris was unbelievably awesome. JP, Joey, Brian and Steely were also! We had a group of about 12 of us from DO who met in Raleigh for the concert and it was terrific to be able to get together and share our love of the band!! A big thank you to Joey for making sure we all got our pictures after the show!!

Thanks guys for another Daughtastic show. My 12 yr old son Jordan said before the show that he was gonna catch a guitar pick after I explained that yall throw them out to the crowd. Well He DID! Hubby& I are glad that we can bring our son to a rock concert and not feel like bad parents for doing so. You guys really rocked out and sounded great once again. I;m loving the "walk the line" add in and especially the "Home Sweet Home" intro to "Home". Just sing more of it, you sounded great! That little taste is NOT ENOUGH! That could be classified as a tease! lol
Be safe overseas and have fun.

You guys were phenominal on Saturday night!! It was my first time seeing you Live, and it was honestly the best concert I have ever been too!!! (And- I have been to a lot- I used to photograph bands for magazines!) We were in the front row and it could not have been any better!!! And, to top it all off, Chris, my hair got caught in your braclets... remember me??? Smiling You guys were so great to spend the time to sign autographs after the show- THANK YOU!!! Chris, I was bummed I could not get a photo with you, but I did get one standing right next to Joey and I was so excited about that. Joey, you were so awesome to hang out so long with the fans- we had a great time talking to you! I am such a huge fan of you guys and it was so awesome to finally see you in person!!! I am so happy for all your success and wish you continued success in everything you do!!! Have a safe trip overseas, and please come back and play in NC again soon!!!! Thanks- it was a night I will never forget!! -Jen

This was my 6th Daughtry show.....loved it just as much as the first......Got home last night and will write a real mini-review when I catch my breath.....oh, and go through all of my pics......I had Front Row slightly off-center Chris and am hoping I have some really great ones to share with other fans, especially of the now "infamous" White Shirt.....who knew......LOL

It was a great night....the music was fantastic....the boys were beautiful.....Chris tripped over some stairs on his way down Front Row to shake my hand and instead he grabbed onto my wrist and held on tightly as he avoided nearly falling face down.....Yay......I was Chris' superwoman for 10 seconds! Smiling

3rd time seeing you guys this year & it gets better every time! Brought my kids with me for their 1st concert and they were yelling just as loud as everyone else. It will surely be a show they will always remember. What a feeling it must be for you guys to have everyone on their feet & singing along. It was great to hear all the songs from the CD & they all sound SO much better when they are sung live! Loved the "Walk The Line" & "Home Sweet Home" thrown in too! You guys are the real deal, we all love the way you rock & move us with your music. Enjoy Europe & come back safe!

The Daughtry concert at the NC State Fair was my 8 yr old son's first concert ever. Needless to say we wanted it to be special, so it HAD to be a DAUGHTRY concert. Y'all rocked the state fair. The best part was when my son looked up at me and said "Mom, be sure to write this in my journal". I began keeping a journal of events in his life beginning the first day of school. This is the FIRST time he has ever asked me to write something down. My husband and I rocked out with my son.
Personally it was like being 15 years old again. I sang every word and was on my feet the whole time! Thanks for two awesome experiences in one!!!
Show those folks in Europe what NC Rock is all about! Great concert.

Last nights concert was awesome. I took my 10 yr old daughter with me , although our seats werent what I expected them to be after being online to buy them right at 8 am when they went on sale. I would have loved to been closer or at least on the floor. But seeing him was amazing either way. Daughtry puts on a awesome concert and would pay alot more to see them over and over again . Love you guys, come back home again soon. Wished we could have gotten autographs and pictures.

You guys were completely AMAZING at the concert last night at the NC State Fair!!!
Although our seats weren't the best... being able to see you, Joey, and JP up close and personal afterwards was INCREDIBLE!!!
I hate that I wasn't able to get an autograph... but I know you guys were rushed!!
Thanks so much for coming over to mingle with us for a few minutes!! It was absolutely the BEST "FEW MINUTES" of my life!!!
I was sooo excited... I didn't go to sleep until 4 a.m.!!!
Hope you guys have a safe trip as you travel abroad! I hope you have TONS of fun... and be safe!!
I will keep you guys in my prayers... and PLEASE... come back "HOME" to NC soon!!
Love you guys!!!

You guys were great. I now have no voice due to singing along all night. Seeing you guys perform gives me chills and makes me come to tears because I know your living your dream and these songs are from the heart with meaning. I love all of you so much and appreciate the music and JOY you bring to my soul. Thanks again for a great time, great mood, and great music. See you soon!!!!

OMG!!!!! I would sit in traffic everyday if Daughtry was behind me like he was on the way to the state fair. I knew that was their bus so I asked the driver to please have Chris to come up and say hi. He did was very nice I'm happy to say. Joey came up too, probably because Chris told him to come and look at this crazy lady in front of them crawling in the back seat of her car to take pictures. LOL!!!I The pictures came out good to my surprise. I wish I had took more when he came by and was hanging out the window talking to us but was so shook up I could hardly think. LOL.... My husband was about ready to throw me out of the car. Anyway, the show was great and I have no voice today but had to make it a good one since I have no idea when I will see Daughty again. Daughtry please come back soon!!!!
Much Love!

There are not enough stars to rate the performance. They turned it on before the hometown crowd. Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!! We came close to seeing him after the show. We watched the buses leave and he opened the shade, to see my beautiful little girls in the pink rock shirts, one was on my shoulders. Thanks to all the guys that came over to greet us. Its something my girls will never forget.

I agree, what I wouldn't do to be in NC tonight. Have a great time, wish I was there!!!

COME BACK TO OHIO. LOL.

Looking for just 1 ticket. PM me if you have one available.

Thanks

Read your PM but didn't write down the number to call you. Can't figure out how to get to the read messages so send me a new PM with your number so the "new message" box will pop up on the screen for me. The single ticket is still yours if you want it.
