Today it was Chris Daughtry and the rest of his band who visited Debaser Medis in Stockholm. This might just turn out to be the best performance I have seen in 2010!

Counterpoint

Counterpoint was the rocking surprising, cause unannounced, support act for Daughtry and got everybody in a rock & roll mood. Some long hair, heavy guitar riffs and a good steady voice.

After that it was just a quick change of setting of the stage and we were ready for Daughtry.


If there is a book somewhere that describes a perfect example of how a concert should be then it is probably describing the Daughtry concert at Debaser Medis, Stockholm, on the 7th of October 2010.

Chris Daughtry

Everything was how it should be, a line outside the venue that does not take too long, darkness, a little bit of rain and inside an enthusiastic band (not only the singer but everyone on stage), a big and even more enthusiastic crowd, good musicians, a nice low controlled voice, good sound, good lighting, nice security that made sure that the people in front got enough water. A band that knows how to communicate and play with the audience.

Daughtry – Enthusiastic Musicians

In all everything together made it a perfect night. This might turn out to be the unsuspected number one live-performance of 2010 for me, and I have seen a lot!!!

Daughtry – Enthusiastic Crowd

What is there to describe, every known song got played and if it was possible the crowd sang along. The whole atmosphere was how it should be during a concert. The singer throws some water into the crowd, he gets some water back…

Chris Daughtry

As a photographer it is always fun to see some interesting details during a concert. This time it was a big tape on the monitor-speaker of Chris Daughtry which only had the name of the city where he was playing on it. Can imagine that it can get confusing when you are performing in a different city all over the world every night.
