LA based rockers, Lifehouse took to the stage of Baltimore Maryland's 1st Mariner Arena for the inaugural night of their 2010 US tour with American Idol finalist, Chris Daughtry. Having released their latest album Smoke & Mirrors only a few weeks prior, these guys were ready to deliver their revised sound, opening with one of the tracks, "All In." Lifehouse kept the crowd enticed with the new tracks, while including old favorites. Although the performance showcased some of their popular singles, missing from the line up was the 2005 hit, "You and Me." During "Wrecking Ball," frontman Jason Wad took a step back from center stage to allow bass guitarist Bryce Soderberg to lead on "Wrecking Ball." The forty-five minute set concluded with their first hit "Hanging By a Moment" which served as a reminder to anyone in the audience who may have forgotten the Lifehouse of 2001.

The evening featured "Last Letter Home," and the ever popular "Shipping Up to Boston," which many will recognize as the theme to the major motion picture, The Departed.
