Thanks so much for this. Glad you had a great time and that you got to discover a new artist that you liked. All in all, it seems like it was a very orderly and professional experience with the M&G, similar setlist and the aftershow signing coming quickly on the heels of the show itself. Glad to hear also that Daughtry was in good voice, especially given some of the tweets in the past few days. He will actually be in my area (SF, CA) tomorrow night -- at the Fillmore no less -- but alas, I looked for tickets today and none were available online. Oh well.

Thanks so much for letting us know in your own words about Joey's departure. We will miss him tremendously. He added so much to your band's on-stage persona.
 
But I'm sure this is all hitting you guys harder than any of us given that you guys are great friends with Joey (which is why we really appreciate the quick update to the fandom even as you deal with this change). I, of course, wish Joey all the best in his future endeavors. And also wish you and the guys good luck in finding a new bass player. Hope he (or she) kicks as much ass as Joey.
