Any Garth Brooks fans out there? Did you get to go see the live concert in KC or the live broadcast of the KC concert shown in theaters this week?
I am a HUGE fan, esp since I knew him when. My mom was his Marketing Professor (And he was Forbes Marketer of the Year one year!!). I worked in a little used bookstore next to one of the most popular clubs in our town. This was back in high school. The owner of the bookstore had a granddaughter who was married to one of the guys in the band he left OK with. I used Occupational Therapist (OT) see him all the time.
I loved the concert. I bought tickets for my mom for Christmas. Wasn't going to go because the back stuff, but my Dad bought a hotel room for us. I had a doctor appointment the next day, so it was great.
The show totally blew me away!!! He did sooo many of my old favorites and ONE NEW SONG!! It is great of course!!!!!
At the end he teared up. He said that 9 years ago he was very careful not to say he would be back.. But "If you will wait for me I will be back!" he told the audience.
Am I alone in my fandom???
Any opinions out there from anyone who saw the show? If you didn't get to see it I think it will be sold on DVD. IT would be worth paying full price!
(trivia: The first of the shows he played in Kansas City sold out in about a MINUTE!!! That is why he kept adding shows until he did 9 shows!! This after 9 years of being almost totally away from the business. He stopped touring because he has girls to raise. )
