Thanks for your thoughts. I saw a Daughtry concert in August, one of the smaller club shows and was curious what the arena show was like. I enjoy Daughtry's music so I can say that I had a great time at his show and if anyone is interested in reading it I put it in a blog on my account here. I was front row in GA at the club so that probably makes a difference translating to a large arena. I noticed there were some differences between David and Daughtry and how he didn't banter much. But I've seen a few concerts this year and the banter ranges wildly between bands. I like a bit of pyro and lighting and I think David uses his lighting design very well to enhance the experience but I understand what you mean that he doesn't need lights and video to make the show entertaining. I understand what you mean when you say that you didn't connect with Daughtry or the music as much, it is a fair assessment. If I wasn't actively hoping to get to a show it would be a different vibe for me as well. I think Daughtry's best song is the one they end on, I think it is "You Don't Belong", my favorite from the new album.
