Garth books

This month marks the 25th Anniversary of Garth Brooks first and only world tour. In 1994 Garth Brooks left North America for the first time and took his show to  Ireland, Scotland, England, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain, Germany, Australia and New Zealand. Apart from Ireland in 1997 he would never return. Two charity concerts in Brazil in 1998 and 2015 is Garth's total experience of taking his concerts outside North America. I was lucky enough to be at his New Zealand show in 1994,  myself and my sister had tickets for Block G at the Auckland Supertop as they opened the gates we all rushed in, I  went straight to the first row in Block G to see my sister screaming at me, she had gone straight up to the front, so I followed and my first Garth Brooks concert, was in the first row. The show was the best concert of my lifetime, a short show, 75 Minutes , 16 song set totally blew away any event I had seen before or after. I ended up seeing Garth again in Phoenix ...

Garth Brooks is about to embark on a three year Stadium tour, there have been rumors about what sort of show Garth is going to put on, I think it's fair to guess what type of show the G man is going to be doing.. First off it's in Stadiums not Arenas, so there's going to be some sort of visual component to it. What  the visuals might be is anyone's guess, he used screens for the first time in his 2014-2017  Arena tour, the stage set up doesnt seem to have any tricks up it's sleeves for this tour, so I think the tricks might be Garth himself. He's calling it a retro tour,  he's bringing back Ty England and other's from the 90's, although he has stated he wont be flying across the stage or smashing guitars, I kinda think he will bring back some of the stage pranks  to wow the crowd. A Garth Brooks  concert is all about having fun, hell he is naming his new album "Fun",  so if you put two and two together well it's going to be a water toss...

Around 96/97,  two years before Garth Brooks announced the Chris Gaines project, I remembered reading an interview with Kenny Rogers. I read the interview online, which seemed really cool to me, because I read it  on the web and not just on usenet, which was the internet for me way back then. The Interview with Kenny seemed to be a normal interview, until he diverted to Garth Brooks. Kenny Rogers said Garth has taken the country world by storm, but he's about to do the same with the Rock world.  Kenny said Garth Brooks has created a fictional Rock personae called Chris Gaines, and there is going to be a movie. When asked what the movie was about, Kenny Rogers said something along the lines of.. Chris Gaines is an Australian Rock God, who gets killed backstage at the Grammy's, the Police detectives get it wrong, but one reporter uncovers the truth that shocks the music world. Again the internet was in it's early days, and the story wasn't picked up, in 1999 When Garth Br...

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!!

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 ...

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...

Garth Brooks has officially announced the date he will announce his  future  tour, December 2018 just before Xmas, Garth Brooks will announce the first two bunches of tour dates for his new tour. The tour is going to be nothing like he has done before, and the stage will be completely  different from the one he used in his USA/Canada tour of 2014/2017. The stage/show  will also be different from the one  he is going to use in his concert at the university of ND. Trisha yearwood will be with him, but not in the capicity that you might expect, but she will be doing something really cool. He kinda hinted and mention the month March,  but then went on to something else, so March may be the start of the new tour. There was no word, on whether there will be any concerts outside the USA/Canada on this tour, but he did mention off hand something about "Three years" So finally something concerte from Garth, after a year of hinting, come the week before Xmas, we will...

It  appears Garth will announce the release date of Triple Live and the Live anthology in the month of their release, November 2018. Garth's next tour will be without Trisha, and that is now expected to be summer of 2019, the tour is also expected, once again, just to be USA/Canada with no dates outside North America planned. That makes 1994, Garth's only WORLD tour.  With Ireland in 1997, and Brazil in 1998/2015 being one off events. The announcement date  of the tour, will probably be around May 2019. So that takes care of all the big announcements, it took a while, but we finally got there, going to be strange doing no posts about up coming announcements. To wrap up here's what to expect from Garth Brooks in the coming years. October 20th  2018:  One off concert at ND Stadium. November 2018: The Release of the Live Anthology. November 2018: Triple Live to be released. May 2019: An announcement of a Stadium tour of the USA/Canada,  one off shows, around h...

Garth Brook's Studio G will be on Thursday 13th, instead of the usual Monday.  The day after tickets to his concert at the University of Notre Dame will go on sale. Garth was expected to make a major tour announcement on the day of the concert. It would appear though, that the day of the Notre Dame concert will solely focus on that concert. So that really leaves September 13th for his tour announcement, a couple of months ago Garth said they would have a special Studio G in September, so this 13th must be it. It would make no sense to move Studio G to a Thursday, just for a normal,  Ask Garth segements and tidbits about what is coming. So what will the upcoming tour announcement be??? Rumors are that he will be playing the Iconic College stadiums, that have never held a concert before, like Notre Dame. Fingers are also crossed in 2019, he will leave the USA and do his first world tour since 1994. That would be an amazing surprise for his overseas fans that have waited and wait...

 10/10 The most authentic Live album in History. Garth Brooks has scored a grand slam  with this one. Even if you just listen to it normally without adjusting your speakers or headphones to either make Garth or the crowd louder, this Live album will go down as one of the greats. His Voice, the band, the crowd, the emotion, Triple Live has such a LIVE feel to it, close your eyes and you will be back there at  one of his concerts. Sometimes Live albums come across as too muffled, or too over produced, and it loses what the artist is like in concert. With Triple Live, Garth Brooks has not only set the bar for a live album, but has game changed the Live Album industry. This free fan mixed offered by Ticketmaster for a short time, is a gift from  Garth Brooks  to say thanks for his record breaking tour,  Triple Live will come out in the fall with more songs. This live version has 26 songs, the highlight for me being,  his version of George Strait's The Fire...

GARTH'S BIG ANNOUNCEMENT. Today there will be a free download  version of Triple Live via  ticketmaster. It says you have to select USA/Canada and then a zip code. So if your outside those countries, just select USA/Canada and a zip code. It works fine!!!! A free new Live album from Garth Brooks. His announcement lived up to the expectations!!!! Two songs in and have to say Triple Live is better than Double live, the crowd on this thing is amazing. Well done Garth Brooks!!!!!!

Finally, it's been like nearly two years of hinting and delaying, of suggestions,  of interviews of big things to come. The waiting is over. In less than 24 hours we will know. My next post will be about the announcements. Its been a long winding journey to get to this point, lots of frustation, but finally all will be revealed.  Xmas comes early. One day left to Garth's big announcementSSSSS.

The long wait is nearly over, just a week to go, and after all the speculation, all the hype all the false alarms, all will be revealed. I actually kinda feel sad, I've been blogging about the announcement thing with what seems like over  a year, from the first time Garth said, "Something is coming" I waited in anticipation like a child watching a thunderstorm. The time is nearly here. We will finally know. August 27th will kick off, with the way it should, as Garth and President Carter will talk of Habitat  for Humanity and show the world the good that it's done. Then it's off to Notre Dame as we will hear not only the date of the concert, but the competent of the concert, will it be televised and by who?, will the rumors be correct and will it be streamed live in  HD VR? And more importantly what is the concert the start of?? A College tour? Followed by a world tour??? What will the overseas dates be? That information will probably be given out on Studio G after...

Garth Brooks will have two press conferences and a studio G on August 27th. They will revolve around  his work with Habitat  for Humanity, the date of his Notre Dame concert, and there will be a password given so people can hear a song from Triple Live.  The password may only last for the duration of his Press Conferences/Studio G. No word on the release date of the Live Anthology, which is expected this fall at retail in the USA.

In less than a hour as of writing, Garth Brooks is expected to make some major announcements on Studio  G. Earlier today he tweeted out,  Its Christmas Eve on Studio G!!! He's been hinting all year about today, about what's to happen in the future for Garth Brooks. We now have arrived, at the moment,  it's Xmas eve, and the presents are about to be open early. I cannot wait!!!

Studio G is back on  August 20th and we get an announcement! Will it be about Notre Dame or a wider tour? Will it be about the Live Anthology? The Live Album? The Studio Album? The Diamond Series? A World Tour, which will be his first since 1994. The email you can sign up for to be the first to get his offers? The Hinted about concert in VR? The tour of small Honky Tonks? The college stadium  tour? The federal government approval thing? A lot of things have been talked about during the past, well two years nearly, finally it seems it's all coming together. Hopefully his fans patience will be rewarded. Time will tell.

Garth Brooks has a lot going on.  A Live album and a studio album, a appearance at the Grand Old Orpy, a concert at Notre Dame stadium, are all suppose to be coming up in the next few months. His Live Anthology is the thing that may end up defining his legacy, it all depends if Garth has the balls and integrity  to show respect to what an Anthology should be. An Anthology just can't be like a greatest hits, or a box set, or a collection, he's done plenty of those in the past, it has to be a complete unaltered history of his career, he doesn't get a second chance to do his own Anthology of his early days of touring. The Live Anthology due for release in the next few months, will be based on  Garth's first two tours, 1991/1992 and 1993/94, 1994 being the only world tour Garth Brooks has ever done. Garth has two options,  he can produce a Faux Live Anthology which may just contain, what the 1998 Entertainer Box set had, and that is a DVD of his four big TV specials This...
