FIRST TIME HEARING Garth Brooks- Friends In Low Places Reaction

[@cw5451]

My all-time favorite country song is by Garth. It’s called “The Dance.” I hope you listen to it sometime.

[@carolyncappitelli1460]

I love The Dance too and his song called Mom. It's so beautiful,

I was a "member" of a bar in 29 Palms CA when this was first out on the jukebox. Th name of the bar was "The Oasis".......... Everything stoped and we all sang along as you said. It was replaced several times when I was there because it would get worn out :)

[@jennhurl]

The infamous 3rd verse 😉 below 👇 Being Southern, this song is etched into our soul. Garth is one hell of an entertainer. "I guess I was wrong I just don't belong But then, I've been there before And everything is alright I'll just say goodnight And I'll show myself to the door Hey I didn't mean to cause a big scene Just wait 'til I've finished this glass Then sweet little lady I'll head back to the bar And you can kiss my ass"

[@jarrodroberts4022]

His video “standing outside the fire” and the official video for “The Dance”(arguably the best song by Garth and Garth is my favorite artist) is on KZbin. People don’t know how versatile Garth really is. He has sang so many different genres

[@sheilathailand1903]

I love that this is in Dublin and everybody there knows every word!! Awesome video!

I have seen Garth in concert 6 times and every single one was AWESOME! His concerts are so high energy and the crowd gets into each and every song! I LOVE GARTH!!

[@Jillyconjem]

I’m watching on my phone, so I can’t see too clearly… but I think the blonde playing his guitar on the neck side (and helping him launch t-shirts) is his wife Tricia Yearwood. I have to say that of all the country musicians/singers I’ve met through the years, Tricia was one of the nicest. Seriously sweet person. 💜💜💜

[@katya2032]

It was Trisha. She was his backup singer at the beginning of her career.

[@ANNEAVES]

It is Trisha

[@terryberryere629]

And she is a fabulous singer too. Should check her out.

[@Jillyconjem]

@@terryberryere629 She is fantastic! I saw her ages ago in Atlantic City, and did the “Meet and Greet” thing (my ex was in her fan club). Even though I wasn’t on the list, she insisted I get a picture with her. She was totally sweet. And she put on a great show. Amazing voice. 💜

[@jenniferkasowicz9463]

I wish he would react to Tricia. I love her. “She’s in Love with the Boy” or “Walkaway Joe”

[@LadyGator1983]

I’ve been blessed to have seen Garth twice in concert. The first time in the early 90s, Martina McBride open for him. Her husband worked for Garth and she used to sell T-shirts at his concerts. The second time I saw him, Trisha was with him. It was a huge awesome concert. Garth makes sure that you get every penny of your ticket to see him. He actually is wonderful!!!

[@robforzese5496]

I’m rock and roll all day…. I saw Garth Brooks in concert, not lying the best concert I ever went to!

[@Jillyconjem]

Hmm… you might be able to see him sing “Shameless” with Billy Joel during Billy’s “Last Play at Shea”. It’s amazing. 💜

[@thetwikikid4444]

Heard the song played in the 4th quarter of the Georgia/Tennessee game last weekend. First time for me and my wife to go to Neyland Stadium. Everyone in the stadium had their cell phone flashlights on swaying to it👍👍👍Fun stuff

[@trh6805]

Yes yes yes!! The live version is the best as it has the “mystical”3rd verse.

Garth live is awesome. So many great songs. I'm glad you found a video that is really him singing. His voice is even better on the studio versions, and you can really hear him without the live crowd. But glad you are searching him out for reactions. Hope you find more!

[@drews9055]

The video cut out the 3rd verse. It skipped over it and went back into the chorus. Maybe there is another version of the video where it doesn't skip the 3rd verse.

[@SuperTiff1980]

I think the “friends” he’s referring to is Jack Daniels, Jose Cuervo, Jim Beam, etc. not actual people lol. This is one country song that no matter what genre of music a person listens to most they know this song.especially back when the song came out.

[@profanepersonality]

I am a metalhead/motown guy; and Garth brings it. He wrote songs that are identifiable with mos people; and had a little taste of many different genres in his songs.

[@pegatheetoo1437]

No ... He was referring to people. He said he went in his boots to his snooty wife's elegant black tie wedding with the champagne and he just didn't fit in. He felt better and fit in more with the kind of people who dressed like he did and hung out in dive bars like 'The Oasis.'

[@marikka9347]

The funny thing is, that country is actually more often like this. The problem is that people want to share songs that they have sentimental and emotional attachment to. With country that tends to be beautiful, sappy, and too often sad songs. This is not how you win over a crowd that is unfamiliar with the complete works of the artists. They walk away thinking country is not for them. Seriously, do actual fans sit around listening to the sad, serious, pain stricken side of country. You get people willing to at least try country and only recommended the sad, slow, sentimental songs. Well their initial opinion of country is now solidified. Recommendations should pull people in and then work your way to those meaningful songs, eventually. Just give them enough time to enjoy songs they can connect to and appreciate like this one before you change gears. I get it, I do. I have a playlist called Grandpa and Grandma that have all those slower, sadder songs from the 1940's through 1970's. I enjoy this playlist when I want to walk down memory lane, occasionally, but I won't be pushing it onto someone who enjoys rock, hip-hop, etc.... For those people I give them songs off my 'Put Some Drive in Your Country' playlist named after the Travis Tritt song and occasionally dip into the Country playlist for the mix of more contemporary (1970's onwards) sentimental, 'tear in my beer,' and upbeat tunes once they are ready for it. He should try: I Don't Need Your Rocking Chair by George Jones, Why'd You Come in Here Looking Like That by Dolly Parton, Move It On Over by Hank Williams, Born to Boogie by Hank Williams Jr. and Watch Me By Lorrie Morgan Dwight Yoakam has a reputation for sad, sad songs, but if you really look at his catalog those super sad ones are there, but it contains way more sass, and upbeat tunes than it contains sorrowful ones. Try: Things Change, Sorry You Asked?, and Fast As You. He also does a nice cover of Long White Cadillac.

He's the reason I started listening to country music. ❤ PS, they cut out the third verse, you can hear the video hitch, it talks about kicking ass. It's not officially recorded anywhere that I know of. And a piece of trivia, the lady with the long blond hair is Trisha Yearwood. She toured with him (she has an amazing voice herself) and they wound up getting married. A high, high energy song that was crazy to watch in person is, "Ain't Goin' Down Til The Sun Comes Up." Sometimes he would fly out over the audience in a harness and sing while he was flying up to the nosebleed seats. Incredible! If I can find a link I'll leave it here, but as you noted, you pretty much have to buy it straight out if you want his music. I have every song on CD. Lol

[@katya2032]

I love sharing this story... my hometown used to hold a chili cookoff competition and fair in the early fall. Around 1987, the committee hired a Oklahoman by the name of Garth Brooks to play that year's cookoff. The day before the cookoff his band drives down, but he was still working his construction job, so he planned on driving down the next day. The day rolls around, and he calls the committee to tell them his truck had broke down. A couple of the guys go up to Oklahoma (I'm in Texas) and pick him up, he performs and rocks my little hometown, and goes home with his band. A few years later, this song comes on the radio and just explodes. The other thing is the high school, for about six months, had an old-fashioned jukebox in the cafeteria so we could play whatever we wanted. One of the reasons why it was removed was because there was a continuous fight over what was being played: Back in Black for the metalheads, whatever NKOTB song was out at the time for the pop fiends, and Friends in Low Places for the ropers. The entire cafeteria would usually stop eating and start singing Friends whenever the ropers got to the jukebox.
