3 Doors Down<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"3Mississippi\u2019s 3 Doors Down’s first studio album, The Better Life, was released in 2000. Featuring hit singles, “Kryptonite,” “Loser” and “Duck and Run,” it went on to sell more than three million copies. In 2003, the band started The Better Life Foundation, TBLF. TBLF supports many children\u2019s charities and has assisted with aid to the Gulf Coast region of Mississippi after Hurricane Katrina.<\/p>\n

Since The Better Life<\/em>, the band has been putting out hit after hit from its following four studio albums. The band has been on the road in support of its Greatest Hits album, which was released in 2012. “One Light” is the new recording and hit single from that album.<\/p>\n

Mohegan Sun was sold out and by the time 3 Doors Down came to the stage; the place was packed. After days of performing and traveling to and from Dubai, the band was running on adrenaline and arrived pumped and ready. Brad Arnold addressed the crowd in his smooth Mississippi twang and issued a challenge to the Mohegan Sun. Just before performing the song \u201cOne Light\u201d; he asked that everyone \u201clook for the chance to be that one light for somebody else.\u201d It was a heartfelt request that was received with applause. Soon after, the band played \u201cCitizen Soldier,\u201d which had everyone standing and singing along. This is truly a band that loves its fans and uses its music to reach everyone on personal levels. <\/p>\n

The band surprised everyone with a cover of Megadeth\u2019s \u201cSymphony of Destruction,\u201d and when it came time for the encore, when \u201cKryptonite\u201d filled the arena, fans screamed in approval as Chris Daughtry joined the band on stage to perform with them. The band\u2019s last song of the night, \u201cWhen I\u2019m Gone,\u201d was a dedication to our armed forces and their families. It was a solid hour of ass-kickin\u2019 rock and roll and a finale that people are still talking about. <\/p>\n

Daughtry<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Daughtry\"Daughtry, formed and fronted by American Idol finalist Chris Daughtry, closed the night. The band\u2019s self-titled debut album was released in November 2006 and reached No. 1 on U.S. charts. The album went on to sell more than four million copies in the U.S. and produced four Top 20 hits. The band’s second album, Leave This Town, was released in July 2009. It quickly became Daughtry’s second No. 1 album in the U.S. Daughtry\u2019s third studio album, Break the Spell was released in November 2011 and has since been certified Gold. The single, “Gone Too Soon,” originally recorded by Daughtry as part of the album, is being sold as part of a fundraiser to assist the victims’ families in Newtown, Conn. <\/p>\n

Many people haven\u2019t seen Chris Daughtry since his American Idol days. Tonight, he proved that it doesn\u2019t matter if you win the contest; if you have the talent and desire to make it, you\u2019ll get there. Chris was offered the chance to be the new front man for Fuel shortly after Idol, but he decided that he was going to form his own band. He clearly made the right choice.<\/p>\n

Chris had the ladies swooning and hoping to reach far enough to shake his hand as he made his way to all sides of the stage.He is the quintessential rock and roll front man and proved it by belting out each song with precision and sheer power. <\/p>\n

It was announced in September of 2012, that bassist Josh Paul would be leaving the band, which led to the addition of Andy Waldeck. The band worked the arena like a well-oiled machine. Fan appreciation was apparent, especially when Chris sent T-shirts sailing into the crowd. The entire hour-plus set was full of changing moods and included a piano rendition of \u201cGone Too Soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

In keeping with the tone of the double-header tour, Brad Arnold came on stage to join Daughtry to perform Phil Collins\u2019 song \u201cIn The Air Tonight.\u201d The set ended on a high note, with \u201cSeptember\u201d and \u201cIt\u2019s Not Over,\u201d which rounded out its 15-song set and an amazing night of rock and roll! It was a night that won\u2019t be forgotten anytime soon. <\/p>\n
