Garth's "secret sauce" is the unbridled joy he takes in performing. If you didn't "fall in love" with the songs, the voice, the art, the music, the charisma, and the talent, that boundless glee will surely get you. It's overwhelming.

[@tridelta2006]

That instrument is a steel guitar, an absolute staple of classic country music 🎶

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

Lap steel

[@theaspiephotographer]

Nope, it’s a pedal steel guitar and it was played [at that concert] by Steve McClure.

[@sandyhafenbrack141]

To be at one of his concerts is truly an experience. Friends In Low Places always blows the roof off the place. My favorite part is when Garth just sits on stage and does a song like The River and he stops singing and just listens to the audience as they sing the song to him. There's just nothing like it.

[@tonyfro23]

I've been to AC DC Metallica Kid Rock Korn Zeppelin reunion Eagles both and EVERY country artist that performed from 1975-2005 that anyone cares about I'm not a Garth homer BUT his concerts are freaking amazing top 2 or 3 in probably 1000 I've been too...along with Tool

That instrument is called a Pedal Steel Guitar. It's _extremely_ common in Country Music.

[@christinaray1207]

I was just coming here to say that! :)

[@mamakat114]

My dear dear late friend Dannie Jo Jones played pedal steel guitar for the Bellamy Brothers, played on all the songs late 70's through mid 80's. 'Ain't Just Whistlin Dixie' 'Lovers Live Longer' 'If I Said You Had A Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me" 'Redneck Girl". They are such a talent duo, with an amazing band. Very underated! Howard the older Brother was always so sweet to me out on the road. I loved their Mama too. Love to see you react to them. 😊

It was taken by Hank Williams Sr who sw it used in Hawaii for hawaiian music. He felt it could easliy be adapted to country and the lilting sounds fit the soul of country music too.

Yes! There's also an extra verse for "Thunder Rolls"

I finally got to see Garth live several years ago at Target Center, in Minneapolis. It was the greatest concert I've ever seen! His energy and the crowd are amazing.

[@laforge001]

This video is from the Garth Brooks Double Live DVD Set. For audio sync, the close ups on Garth in the blue shirt was filmed in the old Dallas Cowboys field known as Texas Stadium, that stadium is no longer standing. You have a keen eye to have noticed different crowds. They actually included footage of crowds in New York City, Dublin Ireland, and some other places. If you ever get a chance to get your hands on Double Live DVD set, you will not regret it. I have this set and still watch it sometimes.

[@hamrick33]

Seeing Garth live in concert is life changing. He absolutely gives his all!!

[@whitewalker57]

Garth was the consummate performer! That’s why he has sold soooooo many records!!! He has sold over 170 million records. He remains to this day the best selling solo artist, with 157 million album sales. Impressive.

[@mlb235nyc]

I saw him for FREE when he came to NYC's Central Park. It was my nephew's 10th birthday. I picked up a cake, brought him and the other kiddos to Central Park and we saw Garth Brooks FOR FREE! It was an awesome concert. Will never forget it.

[@barrettgranger9139]

There’s a reason Garth has been entertainer of the year so many times and newer singers got mad that he was back in the running a couple years ago and complained bc they knew he would win

[@barbaranoel6118]

I have been to three of his concerts and they were awesome. My neighbor at the time was a cousin to one of the band members her name was Marie and if you listen to his CD of Friends in Low Places you can here them yell push Marie because she was in labor while they were recording the CD. True Story

[@MrsBatman96]

My boyfriend and I were in Nashville last month for our anniversary and we went to the Grand Ole Opry. Him and Trisha Yearwood came on and played as a surprise showing, and it made my year, I love him 😭❤️

[@hellbillyjr]

I would've killed to be there! I saw Garth during his tour that came to WV, went to ND for our game against em and was blown away. Adding those two things together are just incomprehensible ❤

[@maevelogan6069]

If you ever watch the documentary Country Music by Ken Burns, it is stated that Garth Brooks is a country singer with a rock n roll stage show.

[@KewlImp]

Something about Garth, he is a master performer. I got lucky enough to get tickets when I like 16 to see him perform live in San Antonio. He really uses the whole stage, all that running around, that is legit what he does. Trying to take the sticks from the drummer, yeap. Third verse, always live.

[@tj7264]

One of the best live shows you will ever see!!!

[@autumnfall8829]

His Vegas show is very chill, and he interacts with the audience

[@ahzzz-realm]

The first time I pulled a local roadie gig we were waiting for Garth Brooks to finish. All the roadies were standing outside the venue when he walked out and directly up to me and thanked all the locals for their work. All I could do was nod my appreciation at being a fng.

[@annawestall4395]

I saw in an interview once where Garth said that in the music video, if you listen closely, you can hear someone yell "push Marie!!!", in the final chorus. This is because in the 80-person choir singing backup, only 78 are singing. One is in labor, and one is assisting. 😊 Great song and great reaction ❤

[@js3599]

The third verse of this song is only heard in his live performances... Just like in his song "Thunder Rolls", which has a third verse they banned on radio back in the day... But you can hear it live... Garth's live shows used to be dirt cheap... Like 65-75% cheaper then his competition... And, in many cases, gave as much as 10x the show to boot... Also... @ 10:51 ... His wife, country singer Trisha Yearwood is with him... She is a great singer too... Last I heard, she had her own cooking show too... Not sure if it is still on though...

[@catherinegee2741]

I've seen him twice. Both concerts were amazing. Well worth the money.

[@jaqathome]

I saw him live at his Vegas show in 2011 to mark a milestone birthday. A very different vibe than this arena shows. We were in the 4th row and he sat by himself on a stool and held that crowd in the palm of his hands. It was like he was doing a concert in your living room. Fabulous!

Gotta check out Callin Baton Rouge! I live about 30 minutes from there and they caused a small earthquake at Tiger Staduim when he played that song years ago!

[@chiefsteps-in-poo8447]

The place is packed and EVERY concert is like that. He's one of the 3 top performers of all time. Elvis, The Beatles and Garth Brooks. And Garth is catching up. And his entrances on stage are legendary. I went to a show at LSU in '98 and when he came out, he started singing off stage. Then a piano rose up in the middle of the stage and he's playing it. Or you think that's him. In the first verse the real GB rises up out of the piano. At LSU in April, the drums were in the middle and he starts singing his opening song. Then the drums start rising and he's under them like he's pushing them up to get on stage. AWESOME!!!

[@BryanShaffer-e2e]

His concerts are like going to a rock concert with all the lights. Great showman

Garth Brooks is on of my all time favorite musicians. My first Garth concert was in December 1992. I was pregnant with my first child (Tyler) who was overdue so we bought general admission tickets at the gate. It was the BEST show ever!!!! My second concert was at Neyland Stadium in the January. My niece (not a country fan) went with me and we realized our seats were on the very last row and it was frigid. Despite the conditions, I'll never forget her turning to me and saying "I didn't know this was going to be so awesome!"

[@shellymarquez9320]

Sebs, you nailed the Michael Jordan comparison! Garth is well known to sell out his concerts in mere minutes and is just as well known to add shows sometimes 2 a night just so all his fans have an opportunity to see him! Not to mention, he keeps his ticket prices extremely reasonable compared to most artists! He’s such a humble, down to earth guy! And his energy is insane! He’s even gone literally flying through the venue so he could get closer to the upper levels! He said he walks the venue before the shows and sits in the upper sections and tries to think of ways to make the show special for everyone!❤❤

[@sephyhk]

I live in a city of just over 300,000 and it had been 20 years since his last visit. He and Trisha Yearwood (his wife and a powerhouse singer of her own see Walkaway Joe for proof) did 6 sold out concerts in 4 days, tons of charity meet and greets and so much more. And he is the most authentic person

I was fortunate to see Garth Brooks in 1991 at the Hodag Country Fest in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. My youngest daughter was 8 years old. We filed past performers all weekend up on the big stage.

Garth still has the same energy as he did the first time I saw him in 1996. When i saw him in 96, he sold out 4 shows in 11 minutes, and that's in the little area of WV I live in . He's the only artist that sells out multiple nights of shows in every city. Sometimes, he does 2 shows a day. He's always the motto that he will play as many shows that people are willing to buy tickets for.

I used to cook for his parents. I remember the night I first met them. It was the night after he won his first Entertainer of the Year award in 1991. They were at the awards when he won. They stroll in the door, order some burgers and went to sit down. I finish the order and everyone wanted to take the food to them. I asked what the big deal was and on cue they all look at me and say, that's Garth's parents. I said, okay...who is Garth? (I was a metal guy, sue me). They turned one of the televisions around and it was the news showing Garth winning the night before and those two people clearly sitting next to him. Very nice people. They came in maybe 4 or 5 more times before I graduated high school and moved away from good old Yukon, Oklahoma! He was our QB!

Been to many, many concerts. By far the most amazing one was Garth. Saw him 2 times 20 years apart. When I met my husband and at our 20 years of marriage. Just as great both times. Now at 30 years of marriage. We have been married 3 times to my husband and never divorced. Seriously. We have a daughter as well who is now 28 and out on her own. We r more in love now than ever. We play pool, bowl in a bowling league, wakeboard all summer, and workout. We also rarely agree on anything as he is an Engineer and I am a Philosophy professor. Lol yall remind me of us. Anytime u need music just ask. Oh, u should listen to song A symptom of being human by Shinedown. Not country but the drummer is my neighbor in Charleston,SC. Great song!

[@natecloe8535]

Nobody that didn't grow up listening to him can ever truly understand exactly how beloved Garth is to country music. You asked how many people were at that concert and I do not have that figure for you but what I can tell you is that Garth Brooks has sold more concert tickets than any artist in the history of music. Nobody performs number one hits like George Strait can........ And nobody fills stadium seats like Garth Brooks can. It isn't even close by the way..... I don't know who the next top concert ticket seller is but I do know they are behind Garth by like 10 million tickets. He always had good special effects, a ton of energy, and tricks ip his sleeve. My favorite Garth story is that every chance that he could he would instruct the venue he was to perform at to not sell any tickets in the front row. People would show up to the show and think that he was a jerk that didn't want his fans near him....... But the reason he would leave it open is because right when the concert started he would instruct all the people from the back row to come and fill in the front row because hes freaking AWESOME.
