Chris Daughtry opens for Bon Jovi Lost Highway World Tour concert at the Greensboro Coliseum on Sunday.

GREENSBORO — On Sunday night at the Greensboro Coliseum, Chris Daughtry — the Triad's own homegrown rock star — performed a confident, feisty set as the opening act for veteran Jersey rockers Bon Jovi.

But he wasn't done yet.

As if kicking it hard at a sold-out show of 22,115 — the fourth largest concert attendance in coliseum history — with his own band wasn't enough of a buzz, Daughtry later got called onstage to trade vocals with Jon Bon Jovi on "Blaze of Glory."

Daughtry more than held his own, and the screams and applause for their raw-throated collaboration were the loudest of the evening.

He exited amid a flurry of hugs and backslaps, and then Jon Bon Jovi continued to sing his praises.

All I can say is that Daughtry must go to bed at night wondering, "What else can go right?"

Daughtry and band played a punchy 45-minute set. Admittedly, they didn't fill the space on a big-venue stage with quite the time-tested ease of Bon Jovi, but they're definitely ramping up the "Guitar Hero" body English to project to the nosebleed seats.

And Daughtry's big, brawny voice projected all the way out of the arena and into the next county.

Unfortunately, he is already beginning to turn his radio favorites into concert singalongs, facing the mic toward the crowd and coaxing them to join in, which smacks of showbiz hokum.

To his credit, however, he exited in a hail of feedback with a ferocious new song. The contrarian in me enjoyed hearing several nearby audience members whine among themselves that it was "too loud."

There are new dates added to the events calendar on Daughtry Official for the summer. CHECK IT OUT! Looks like they're hitting some of the fairs again. I made it to one of the fair dates last year and it was a great time. Where else can you see a prize winning cock, eat fried dough, hear Daughtry, and pay $1 to see the world's largest livestock????? If you get a chance to spend the day at the fair and the evening rocking out to Daughtry..... I'd suggest buying the tickets. Not to mention, it sounds like the boys will be writing and probably playing NEW SONGS by this summer. WOOT WOOT!

Wait about a minute while Jon finishes Knocking on Heaven's Door, and then watch Chris Daughtry join Bon Jovi and tear up Blaze Of Glory. This version rocks!
