With Who: Kayla, Erin, Aunt Denise, Amber, and her mother
Summary: We got box seats that had a pretty good view. I bought a key chain that says Daughtry on it. During the concerts girls behind us scream “I love you chris” and he said “I love you too”. It was funny that he heard cause we were far away. Overall the concert was good.

Rocker plays it safe at state fair

FOR THE DISPATCH
Chris Daughtry stood out on American Idol because his hard-rocking sound
contrasted so strongly with the more string-heavy sounds of the other
contestants. But he's playing in a different field now, and it's going to
be harder for him to differentiate himself.
At last night's fast-moving concert at the Celeste Center at the Ohio
State Fair, Daughtry pleased a large crowd by sticking with the familiar:
He has released one, self-titled album, and he played the songs from it
without venturing into new territory.
Daughtry looks more than adequately intimidating: He repeatedly rubbed his
hands over his shaved head; a black tank top and low-rider jeans showed
off his tattoos and well-developed muscles.
And in concert, the songs have a rougher edge than on the slickly produced
album. He was backed by a lively, competent rock band, and occasionally
picked up a guitar himself, though only as accompaniment to his singing.
Those songs, most written or co-written by Daughtry, don't vary wildly:
They're more sentimental than their driving beats would suggest, and
several have a mopey side that allows for Idol-style posing and solemn,
upward-cast eyes. Without the rock trimmings, songs like Gone or
Daughtry's hit Home would fit easily in a country format.

Daughtry, Staind and Nickelback satisfy
By David Lindquist
Friday night at Verizon Wireless Music Center began with a mystery tied to
the order of appearance of bands Daughtry and Staind.
It's true that the two-act undercard for the Nickelback concert wasn't
advertised to unfold in a particular way.
But conventional wisdom might dictate the band that's issued a No. 1 album
and a pair of Top 5 singles in the past year -- Daughtry -- would play
after a band that's on a slow, dignified career decline (Staind).
While officials at the Noblesville amphitheater initially expected Staind
to warm up for Daughtry, they reported the day-of-show switch as something
the tour did at its own discretion.
Friday-afternoon traffic became an X factor in the program, as I-69 and at
least one supposed "shortcut" to the venue were backed up for miles.
After singing his first number at 7:40 p.m., Daughtry vocalist Chris
Daughtry told the nearly packed house that he and his bandmates had just
arrived at Verizon.
What about audience members delayed on roads until 8:20 p.m. or later?
They missed Daughtry and then caught a professional performance by Staind,
one filled with thick, melancholy mainstream metal that made the
Boston-based quartet popular around the turn of the century.
Regarding Daughtry's showing, it was funny to see the band's guitar
technician work from a road case labeled "The All-American Rejects."
Regardless of whether the emo-pop band from Oklahoma ever owned the case,
few people have gone farther after being rejected from "American Idol"
than former contestant Chris Daughtry.
Some of his singing on Friday clanged "pitchy" in the world of Randy
Jackson, but Daughtry's voice is heroic in the context of derivative hard
rock.
The North Carolina native wore distressed blue jeans, an olive-green
sleeveless T-shirt, boots and a robust wallet chain.

Daughtry Rocks Opener
Concert Review Preview
Opening act Daughtry rocked in their SPAC debut, grinding out 45 minutes
of melodic rock fueled with buzz-saw guitars and topped with singer Chris
Daughtry's intense, raspy voice. Daughtry (the man) takes his rock
seriously and it showed on Sunday night.
With the seasoned stage presence of a mature rocker, Daughtry belted out
post-grunge anthems such as "Used To," "Home" and "It's Not Over," coming
off like a cross between Eddie Vedder and Live lead voice Ed Kowalczyk.
Daughtry may be best known for his stint on "American Idol," but that will
soon be little more than a footnote in his career. This guy can sing and
he knows what it means to rock. Michael Lisi is a freelance music critic
