We were able to get club box tickets (my favorite) and a dinner package. We arrived at The Wachovia Center around 6:30pm and had dinner at the buffet in the club box. The food was surprisingly good. We had Stromboli’s, spinach & artichoke dip, veggies/cheese, famous Chickie’s & Pete’s Crab Fries (my favorite) and some sweets. If you ever come to visit Philadelphia, I highly recommend a visit to Chickie’s & Pete’s.
The opening band, Saving Abel came on at 7:00pm and played for a little more that a half hour. They were decent, but weren’t really my thing. Around 8:00pm, Seether came on and they were really good. Going into the concert, I didn’t think I knew any songs by them and it turns out I knew about 5 and never realized they were by Seether.
Shortly after 9:00pm, Nickelback came on and they were fantastic! Chad Kroger’s voice was amazing and they were great live. They played for about 2 hours and sang 17 songs with few breaks. Chad really interacted with the audience, which is something I always appreciate. Here is the list of songs that they sang in order:
Something in Your Mouth
Too Damn Good
Photograph
Figured You Out
Fallen (I love this song!)
Far Away
Cover of Hey Man, Nice Shot by Filter that Shawn from Seether sang with Nickelback
Gotta Be Somebody
If Everyone Cared
This Afternoon
Rockstar
Cover of Sad but True by Metallica instrumental while the crew shot out t-shirts
Burn it to the Ground
How You Remind Me
Too Bad (amazing)
Encore:
Cover of Use Somebody by Kings of Leon that Ryan from Nickelback sang
Someday (great song)
Animals
The stage was really cool and they had some great pyrotechnics.
The crowd was really into the show and people of all ages attended. This will stay in my memory for a long time and I was happy I got to share the night with hubby by my side. If you’re a Nickelback fan, I highly recommend this concert.
A little blurry, but pic of the band when they moved towards the end of the stage.

What a fun night! Club box tickets and dinner is the way to go!
That's awesome that you were able to see those bands! Nothing beats a good concert! So glad you had fun!
Oh wow..y'all dont have a sonic??? Thats amazing!!
How fun! Dinner and a concert is a great idea, I've never done that before.
I'm still adjusting as well with the whole clock thing. So weird isn't it, how something so small can really throw your system off track. It's been a little cold here too, so that makes getting up even harder!
It's kind of been an "off day" today, I hope yours is ten times better than mine :)
How fun! Love Nickelback!!
You look so cute!
very cool! love the pic of the two of you. you look very chic in your scarf!
