I'm hoping when he announces his tour dates one is close enough to attend. I saw him in the 90s, and he put on an outstanding show. Garth Brooks

He's the artist that changed me from 80's rock to Country music in the early 90's. I'm still a country girl today!!

I've seen him twice and wouldn't mind going to see him again, but I don't really enjoy the big arena shows any more. I actually like the smaller venues where I can be close up.

You know, I saw him at a very small club when he was up and coming, and his first album was about to be released or had just been released. He was great then, and I remember thinking how he seemed like someone who FINALLY wouldn't turn into a gigantic ass once he became famous. I was wrong. The Ireland thing just reaffirms my feelings.

I saw him once and would love to see him again. Especially with DH as he was in the Navy at the time of the last concert and couldn't make it to see him. However, I don't want to see him at a football stadium.
I'm sure ticket prices will be astronomical, and, par for the course, tons of people will use their pre-sale codes to buy up all the good tickets and try to sell them for a premium on Stub Hub.
I hate trying to go to concerts anymore.
Sorry, this was very Debbie Downer of me...lol.

There are only a few songs of his that I like...I've just never been a big fan. Now, his wife...her I love! I'd love to see her in concert sometime.

Actually it isn't totally Garth's fault. The city council refused to allow all the concerts at the venue. Sounds like they are trying to find another venue. I'd love to see him in concert. He's been on my concert bucket list for years. My daughter and her boyfriend saw him and Tricia at the tornado relief benefit concert at OU stadium last year and she said they were fantastic. On a not so related note - I'll be seeing Vince Gill a week from tomorrow! Another one on my concert bucket list!

stampnscrap, I know you're right. Some of his past actions have really made me so disappointed in him. Sorry to be a Debbie Downer in the thread, though. Time and place-and I shouldn't have said anything in this thread. Forgive me!

I used to manage a CD store in the 90's and got to see a lot of concerts ... I actually met Garth Brooks ... he was so nice I'd love to see him again but it would suck to not be able to go backstage again Leanne

I saw him in 1996. I would love to see him again. I just don't think hubby will agree to pay what the ticket prices most likely will be.

Obviously I have no idea what his ticket prices for any upcoming tour would be, but in the past, he was always committed to making his ticket prices low enough for most to afford. Hopefully he will subscribe to that same theory on his next tour.

I am a Garth fan. I love his music. I am real big into going to concerts but I would like to see his, if he is close enough and the tickets are not super expensive.

How is he an ass? The city council wouldn't approve 5 concerts. And the people got upset. That's not Garth Brooke's fault. From what I've read the city is now trying to accommodate him, since the Irish people got upset and wanted the 5 concerts. Stephanie in TX

The concert promoters kept adding concerts as the previous ones continued to sell out so quickly. They didn't have the permits to add the concerts - assuming they would be approved. How is that Garth's fault??

I swear people can just put him at fault for things out of his control or things that are said that are untrue like his marriage to Trisha. But I guess that is what happens when you are famous.
My mom lives down the street (eh, down the street in OK is about five miles).. He is (was) spotted all the time with his kids at their events and always very nice to everyone and people did leave him alone.
Once my step dad was at a farm store and literally ran Garth over. He turned the corner and plowed right into him. Garth was very nice about it and laughed.. my step dad didn't even realize it was Garth until he turned away.. (DANG IT FOR NOT GETTING MY AUTOGRAPH..lol)
I saw him once and it was awesome!! I would love to see him again!

I saw him in 1997. Trisha was there and sang a couple songs with him. He was still married to his first wife at the time.

I saw him in 1997 on his farewell tour in San Antonio. I remember standing in line for tickets and the cashier announcing that the 2 shows the planned in San Antonio were sold out. I was about to walk away when another cashier came running out saying that Brooks would play more shows as long as people would come, so he ended up doing 4 shows, I think. It was great

I agree it's not his fault the promoters offered more shows than they had permits for. But, he has three shows approved and with permits. Why can't he play those three shows instead of five or nothing? Maybe it isn't cost effective to play just three.

I've seen him 3 times and would have loved to have seen him in Vegas. But it was so much $$ so we didn't go.
Considering how much Queen with Adam Lambert tickets were out here, I'm thinking this will be a pass. What happened to concert ticket prices (okay yeah, I'm old), but dang, they're crazy prices now.
His concerts were amazing - and like others, he was the first country guy I heard and I was sold ever since. I don't think he has the pipes like he did, but I would expect a great show from him. Would love to see him and Trisha tour together.
