Went to the Garth Brooks show last night

[1967coronet]

He is playing 6 shows in Des Moines in a hall that seats 16,000.
My wife and me went to the second or late one last night 11:00 until 2:00am 1st time I ever seen him play. Keep in mind he his wife and band did a 7:00 to 10:00 show just before ours.

no matter if you like his music or not that guy can put on a show for 6hrs with a 1 hr break in between and never miss a beat. Played all his old hits along with some new stuff
The only bad thing was beer was pretty high priced LOL.

I went Sat. night. Man he puts on a good show. I'd say it was 2nd best concert I've been to, Eagles being #1

You mean you saw "the Garth Brooks persona" of whatever that guy's real name is.

That's just weird.

 

[69 GTX]

Ok, but I still enjoyed it.

Troyal Garth Brooks. No wonder he wants to be known by his middle name! But what the hell kind of first name is Troyal?!?!?!?!?!?

I thought he had half a dozen projects going, all under different pseudonyms, and in all sorts of varied styles and genres....

I recall seeing him on a talk show in the late 90's, and he used the term "Garth Brooks persona".

 

[aldal]

I like "Friends in low places" reminds me of most of my buddies.

 

[SteveSS]

I saw him in the 90's he was great then. I think he redefined some of the modern concert experiences. How can you not like him? He's from Oklahoma.

 

[68HAVOK]

I like the name Garth....since its my first name. I have got the "like Garth Brooks" my whole life. It made me pretty popular at the bars when I visited Nashville though. Ha ha.

i agree.
bitd,he pretty much rejuvenated country music.
i wasnt a fan of country at all either,
so he was talented enough to bridge many generations.
and i went to see garth 3 times,if that says anything.
to each their own ,and to Garth,Respect.
