Hampton Beach wasn’t the only stop in New England that Chris Daughtry and his band made on their tour. Boston’s waterfront provided the perfect backdrop for the band’s epic live performance at the Bank of America Pavilion Thursday night.

Daughtry is obviously known for his powerful vocals, but based on these photos showed some guitar chops as well:

One fan known on Twitter as “J.R.” says he had sought a live concert with Daughtry for a long time, but finally got to see it last night and apparently had a great vantage point.

Though Daughtry has a handful of pop radio singles, he remains a rocker at heart. Some fans may have been surprised by his intensity.

Daughtry is kinda rockin out. #awesome

But most were not surprised at all that the former American Idol finalist put on such a great show. The four reactions below illustrate the feelings of many Daughtry fans on Twitter after the show.

I can die a happy woman. I saw Daughtry sing Home live with @megxo3
