Notre Dame: Has Garth Brooks Done the Greatest Stadium show in History

Image
There have been many great Stadium shows in the History of music, The Beatles at Shea,  Bruce Springsteen at MetLife, and up until tonight the greatest Stadium show is universally regarded as Queen's performance at Wembley Stadium way back in 1986. But after Garth Brook's concert tonight at the University of Notre Dame, we may have a new winner. The show itself was delayed because of wind gusts heavy rain, sleet and snow., but that didn't stop a sell out crowd of 85 thousand, who spent hours on a freezing night from staying on and waiting for Garth Brooks to take the stage. And take the stage he did. I wasn't at the concert and am relying on the incredible footage that appeared on twitter and youtube. Garth is truly the entertainer of a generation, like Freddie Mercury in 1986 in London, Garth had the crowd at the tip of his fingertips. To see Garth perform his songs live is like watching him perform his songs for the first time. There is a rawness about it that sends t

A poster over at the Planet Garth forums, got it right, Rhd13 said, Garth fans have so much to look forward in the coming years, and yes we have. This is what Garth Brooks is up to for the next few years. Notre Dame concert, which will be a TV special on CBS. A Stadium tour which will last three years. The Live Anthology coming out in a month. A new Live album coming out. A new Studio album coming out. The top secret Diamond Series coming out. Garth's 30th annivesary as an artist in April 2019, you know he's got something planned for that. Getting the old gang back together, we're talking about Ty England old. A one man show at the Ryman. His Studio G show every monday. New digital partners maybe??? And whatever else Garth has planned. So there is so so much to look forward to if your a Garth fan living in the USA or New Zealand or Australia or Europe or the rest of the world, so get ready for one hell of a ride!!

Garth Brooks Makes Historical Announcement

Image
Today is the day, that Garth Brooks made the most biggest announcement of his career, and it was something the media didn't pick up on, or he didn't come out and say personally. But first, it was a day of big announcements,  Garth announced.... His Notre Dame concert will be filmed by CBS and air in December. It was Amazon's idea to include Triple Live in the Live Anthology. The Stand alone Triple Live album will be delayed. Garth announced a three year tour 2019-2021 of Stadiums in the USA. There will be 10-12 shows per year.  St Louis will start it off, The New England Patriots stadium will be included in the tour. Other dates will be announced December. He may do the odd weekend at the Ryman. So a news worthy day for Garth fans. But the media missed, not only the biggest announcement of the day, but a Historical announcement, an announcement up there with the biggest of Garth's career, and Garth himself didn't even mention it. With announcing a 2019-2021 tour of

The Hunt For The Garth Tapes

On October 1st 2018,  Billboard announced the released date  of Garth Brooks's Live Anthology. On October 15th 2018,  Amazon announced the details of Garth's Live Anthology. The five audio discs will be DOUBLE LIVE AND TRIPLE LIVE. So in Garth's Live anthology, he hasn't included any raw stuff or neat stuff or slick stuff or the stuff that people like,  he has once again  using a release to repackaged previously released material. IMHO, Garth has missed the boat big time, because he has failed to include what's in his Master Vault, and that is what the fans are looking for. Since Garth hasn't released what's in his Vault, I'm on a mission. I am on the Hunt for the Holy Grail of Garth Brooks footage. That is footage from his 1993/1994 world tour. I'm not talking about his network TV specials or The tonight show appearances. In 1993/1994 the documentary film crew, The Dream Chasers filmed everyone of his European concerts, every one of his Australian c

Better Call Saul

Saul Goodman is born. The finale of season 4 of Better Call Saul, saw the birth of Saul Goodman and  thus became one of the biggest heartbreaking moments in TV history. Feel so so gutted for Kim, the man she loved, the man she thought was finally coming to terms with his emotions was in fact just a con artist. Tonights's episode was the birth of Saul and the death of Jimmy and Kim. We know where Saul ends up, as a  manager of a Cinnabon, but what happens after that will be revealed in Season Five, which is expected to be the last season, I cannot see two more seasons, and I cant see that there is going to be  a fairytale ending for Gene and Kim. I would like there to be, I would like the very final episode to be  Kim walking into the Cinnamon store, taking Jimmy by the hand and walking off into the sunset, but somehow that seems unrealistic. Vince Gillian loves Redemption, so there may be yet a happy ending for Jimmy, but with the choices Saul has made, it may take a darker tone. A

Modern Family Review: Season 10 Episode 2: Kiss and Tell

Image
A Massive improvement  on the first episode of the new season. No comparison at all, this was like the hey day of Modern Family. Let me just say, Dylan makes everything better, his line to Hayley was heartfelt and sweet, he may not be the brightest of them all, but he is sincere. Then there is  Cam's line to Mitch about Pepper, even the mere mention of Pepper makes any episode better. Glad to see Alex and Manny doing well and not given some sad sad story line. Top that off, with Phil being a mean girl to Jay, only to learn that Jay actually respects him, was a super cool moment. I only hope more episodes in this finale season will be like this one. Time will tell.

Garth Brooks The Anthology Part III Live

Has Garth missed the Boat? Straight off the back, the cover looks amazing, has really blown me away, I'm also sure the book itself will delight every Garth Brooks fan that reads it, the photographs in the book, which I'm sure some of which will have never been seen before will be of the highest quality, the stories will be wonderful to read, this will be a must for every Garth fan, but I also think Garth may of missed the boat with his Live Anthology. I'm talking about the CD part of the project. First off, it's actually criminal that Garth won't include any DVD on this project, not only did he have a wealth of material to work with, his network and cable TV specials, but he had literally 100's of hours of never before seen footage taped by the Dream Chasers and Crazy Duck Productions  and himself in the early 90's. This is what an Anthology is suppose to be about, take a look at Kissology or Tom Petty's Anthology, take a look at the Beatles Anthology, t
