There is a rumor that Collective Soul will be playing Tom's Riverfest on August 3rd. If so, I would think Live would be there as well. Anyone know more?

Carrie Underwood will headline Saturday’s schedule with Lifehouse, Push Play, The Lost Trailers, and Mr. Ray also performing. On Sunday, Daughtry will headline and Avril Lavigne, Live, and Collective Soul will also perform. In addition to concerts, patrons will enjoy carnival and musical attractions for children, a food court, BMX bike demonstrations, a video arcade, and numerous community-oriented exhibits and displays.

Tickets, priced at $35 for general admission, $50 for bleachers, and $75 for VIP seating packages, go on sale Saturday, May 10th at 10 a.m. through www.ticketmaster.com, www.trfest.com, Ticketmaster Phone Charge at (201) 507-8900 and (609) 520-8383, and the Ritacco Center Box Office located at 1144 Hooper Avenue. A limited two-day general admission pass will also be available for $60.

I have a bad feeling that Daughtry and Live's sets will overlap and be in different venues. If not, do you think Ed could be playing with Daughtry in NJ?

Notes from show:

-Daughtry performed with Live on stage during I Walk the Line. It was a very cool moment, but to me Chris came off a tad full of himself. Maybe it was just me.

-Show was very good for a festival and there was a huge crowd for the band. A lot of joking around on stage. It is very different seeing a show in the afternoon than at night. You see everything that goes on, its a bit weird.

-No Simple Creed, but they played The Distance, Iris, Run to the Water and Shittown. Otherwise it was all standard stuff. No real encore, the band played for 90 minutes straight.

- I bet Ed will do a song with Daughtry tonight, but I was way too tired to stay and find out. Hopefully some video will surface if he does.

-Some of the guys from Collective Soul were hanging by their bus for at least a hour after their set. Pretty cool. Ed Roland was watching Live's set and grooving a bit to Dolphin's Cry.

Anyone have anything else?

I was there yesterday, great show. We got there late and I see we missed The Distance...oops!
I thought Lakini's Juice was cool with the megaphone.

Nick...you should have stayed. Ed got up on stage with Daughtry and they sang Helter Skelter together. It sounded great! The fireworks were awesome too!

hey Nick, I think I found a video of the thing you wrote about Daughtry coming on stage to perform Walk the Line together with Live.

Live ft. Chris Daughtry - I walk the Line

it's not awesome quality but still fine. Btw, this gotta be the first time that Live & Chris are performing I walk the Line together! Pretty cool, if you realise what covering that single song did on AI back in 2006. Ohw, wait, now I think about it. This is the first time Live & Chris are performing a song at all (since Mystery at AI), isn't?

[SecretInsomnia]

well now I'm checking there are suddenly more on.

Was wondering if anyone has a recording of this show (audio or video) I didn't get to tape it myself but would love to get a copy if possible!
