Daughtry, Theory Of A Deadman, And Cavo 12/4/09

So the Daughtry show was great. To be honest, the main reason I went was to see Theory of a Dead Man. At that point, I had never seen them before and it was honestly about to kill me. The first band of the night was Cavo. I had already seen Cavo a few months earlier at Bayfest and I knew what to expect. I even met their singer, Casey there. He was super nice. They opened with my song, Blame. Then they played Crash, My Little Secret, We All Fall Down, Let It Go, and Champagne. They tried to get the crowd to sing the chorus but it was not their greatest effort. After they were done with their set, they had a meet and greet. I like how they took the time to talk to their fans. Even when the show was over they were still out meeting fans and it made me smile. I was nervous to run all the way around the venue to meet them because I really did not want to miss Theory Of A Dead Man. I was one of the first people in line and they took the time to talk to me and their singer remembered me from Bayfest. I guess it is not every day when some 14 year old taps on your shoulder through a fence to take a picture. I made it back to my seat just in time. I still had five minutes before TOAD started. I could not contain my excitement. They opened with So Happy. it made me “So Happy” (sorry. I had to). Afterwards, they played Little Smirk, By The Way, No Surprise, Hate My Life, Not Meant To Be, Santa Monica, Paradise City, and Bad Girlfriend. Great set-list right there. It made my life for a little while. Then, Daughtry came out and played Every Time You Turn Around, It's Not Over, Ghost of Me, No Surprise, Breakdown, Life After You, What I Want, Open Up Your Eyes, September, Tennessee Line, In the Air Tonight, Call Your Name, Over You, Helter Skelter, Feels Like Tonight, You Don't Belong, Home, and There And Back Again. At one point, in the audience, there was a girl that started stunting. Like, college cheerleading stunting. It was the first time I had ever seen that at a concert and I really appreciated it (since I am a cheerleader). The crowd at this show was really involved. Since this show, I have seen TOAD four times. Holy cow. If there is ever an opportunity to go see them, take it. Tyler, their singer, is a comedian.
