The dance, zombies by the cranberries, and Vincent by Don McLean are 3 songs I can't listen to without crying. The dance started getting to me after my marriage fell apart.
I remember the first time they played this on the radio. I was a metal loving teen and I immediately thought "oh shit, the world is about to lose its mind over this". And then my dad came barging in and asked "what was that song?" Only a few mins later the radio dj said, "calm down people we're gonna play it again for ya"
Garth Brooks always had sold out crowds no matter where he played. Usually at sports stadiums because they can hold the most people. His shows are legendary. He was the most popular country artist at the time, heck maybe of all time.
@@chuckbarlow4864 yep. His shows would easily sell out at 150 a ticket, but he keeps the price around 80 because he feels everyone should be able to go, not just wealthy people
Live in concert he sings the "infamous 3rd verse". Crowd goes crazy! Garth is the best! "Well 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!"
When The Thunder Rolls, extended version is a great one. Don’t know how many were there but it’s always a sold out show no matter what state or country he plays. There is also an extended version of this song, you gotta listen to it.
This is definitely one of his best known songs. His concerts were always this big but he managed to engage everyone there. His fans just love him. The Dance is a special song and If Tomorrow Never Comes. Loved it and watched the whole thing, thanks!
Garth is a huge rabbit hole! So many hits, so many amazing albums! Beaches of Cheyenne Ain't going down Papa loved mama The dance That summer Standing outside the fire Two of a kind Etc,etc, ETC!
It was his third #1 and his fifth top 10. "If Tomorrow Never Comes" and "The Dance" both hit #1 before this one did. "Much too Young (to Feel this Damn Old)" and "Not Counting You" also hit the charts before this did. Still, "Friends in Low Places" is pretty synonymous with Garth Brooks:):)
As others have said, this is a compilation of concerts. The most fun vids of this song are the good quality ones where you can hear him, but also the roar of the crowd giving the energy back and singing along. This was the studio version and his actual concert performances of it are much more playful. His single biggest concert was probably in Central Park in 1997. It was free and over a million people showed up. I've seen him live several times and you have to be ready to grab those tix when they go on sale - he sells out stadiums in mere minutes. Still! After a 30+ year career, taking 10 years off to raise his kids and recently(ish) returning to the music scene, there still won't be an empty seat anywhere he goes. Definitely check out The Dance if you can find it ... there are a lot of sneaky covers online and he keeps his music clamped down pretty tightly. Thunder Rolls, Shameless ... his hits just roll on and on. There's a fun concert video, when you can find it, where he flies out over the audience in a harness right up to the nosebleed seats. The man is fearless!
This is a collection of more than one show ( notice his shirt changes). He won so many awards for entertainer of the year, he took himself off the ballot, saying it was time to have someone else win. He was first country artist with big shows and he would harness up fly over the crowd and jump up on parts of the stage. At the height of his career he stopped touring to raise his 3 daughters. They are grown now he is touring again.
The fact he stepped away when he did for his kids is the best example of how down to earth he is. Willing to give up the fame and the money because his kids ment more to him. Not many celebrities would make that sacrifice. It just made people love him more
Where did you here this? He stepped away to let the furor die down from cheating on his wife while she was home raising 3 kids. He was gone all the time and was suspected of cheating with Trisha Yearwood. You think it's a coincidence he stops touring in 2001 (year of divorce) and starts touring again in 2005 (year he married Trisha). You think it only takes 4 years and a couple months (time between last and new tour dates) to raise 3 daughters? Seriously?
@@samrester6254 wrong. He stopped touring in 2001. Married Trisha in 2005. From 2009 to 2012 he did select shows in Vegas but he wasn't touring just flying back and forth between shows. He did 9 shows in Nashville in 2010. And started going on tour again in 2014, the same yr hos youngest started college. Hw bought 2 plots of land on the country and built a house for himself and one for his ex right across the road. They had 50/50 custody which was exchanged every day in the early evening, so neither of them had to go a single day without seeing their kids
Just watched part of the Kelly Clarkson show, she and Garth are good friends and they had a couple in the audience who had been at one of his concerts a few years ago, right after they got the gender of their baby. They asked Garth to read the gender for them and revealed that baby's name was going to be Brooks, boy or girl. He remembered them and was thrilled to meet little girl Brooks.
That was my brother's favorite song. Unfortunately, he passed away last month and hearing this is making my heart laugh and cry at the same time. Thanks for playing it dude....and RIP Charlie.
Garth does alot more for his fans than just extend his hand from the stage. For every concert his does, he always finds the worst sear in the stadium, then gives that person a front row upgrade. For a while even (back several years ago). He would find who bought the 10,000th, 100,000th ticket etc, then bringing that fan backstage, and giving them a brand new car!! There is no other artist, in any genre of music, that is more fan friendly than Garth. 🤠
You should do an actual live version of this song that has the “3rd verse”! Also Garth shows a lot of love to his fans! Check out the video with the cancer survivor and the video where he gives a guitar to one of his audience members.
best shows ever... saw him twice in Chicago, once in small venue in Champaign, and another in the stadium.. awesome!!.. back in the days when had to call in to try to get a ticket, he would be sold out in minutes and open another show usually 3 or 4 in a row
His love for his fans is genuine...You called it. I just love Garth all around. Biggest Hit Songs? Damn....if you only knew lol. Keep on with Garth and you're gonna be amazed.
This is a compilation of many concerts. He packs them in, everytime. He played in Billings, Montana before Covid and people came from all over. My sister saw him in Vegas last July and it was packed. The man is an artist. There is an additional verse he has for concerts that is usually cut from videos. Hysterically funny.
he sells out stadiums in 5 minutes when ticket sales open!!!.....Still does!!!....FYI ....there is another verse to this song.......hahahaha.....We love the Long version!!!
Shameless, momma loved papa, the dance, thunder rolls…some great Garth songs… Love him! I saw him in 98? It was a great concert! The next 2 days I couldn’t talk from singing so load to every song!
I was a young teen when this came out and I only heard it bc my mom liked country. Still love it today! Play this anywhere and everyone will start singing!! ❤
I went to his Central Park Concert 1997 Estimated, 1 Million People, the stage lighting caught on fire, Guest Appearances by Billy Joel, Trisha Yearwood and Don McLean, it was played Live on HBO and I can be seen in the crowd, we were close to the stage, all this and it was a FREE CONCERT! What an amazing night!
Quite a few country artists do football stadium concerts and will sellout every time, Kenny Chesney, Jason Alden, Luke Bryan are all hugh concerts. Garth puts on a great show, a lot of times he will stop singing and the crowd will just pick up where he left off and be just as loud. In the early 2000’s he did a concert in Central Park that was free and was televised live on prime time tv, he filled Central Park it was bigger than time square on New Years Eve. He had large tv monitors like you see at professional football game brought in and placed thru the park so everyone could view it. I believe you can still watch it on you tube.
He's also there for people there. There's a video of a lady up front holding a sign that said "chemo today. Garth tonight. Doing the dance." He came and talked to her with everyone there and said we are behind you and your going to kick cancers ass! He then gave her his guitar! A wonderful man in my book!!!!❤❤❤❤
Garth genuinely seems like such a wonderful guy. He says before every show he goes to the furthest away seat, sits in it, looks at the stage, an d tries to think how he can put on a show that makes even that person feel special... He wants everyone to get their money worth and more. How nice is that!?
There's a 3rd verse, sang only at the live shows: Well 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!
17+ years ago, my buddies and I would hangout at our favorite bar here in Galveston, and every time this song played the entire bar would sing along with it. Good times and good memories.
All of his concerts are in stadiums so it’s 60,000+ people every show. He still sells out stadiums in a few minutes. You will have to listen to some of his stuff on Amazon music. He doesn’t allow his music on UA-cam so anyone who uploads his stuff on here tweaks it a little so his voice sounds different.
Garth: Live from Central Park was a concert held by American country pop musician Garth Brooks on August 7, 1997 at Central Park in New York City. Dubbed "Garthstock" (paying homage to Woodstock), the concert was free of charge and became the largest concert ever held in the park, with an estimated audience of over 1,000,000.
From the first time, Garth played at the Houston livestock show two nights before Clint Black. He has sold out every performance he’s ever sung and most of the time his concerts are sold out within five minutes. He is the most amazing singer we’ve got.
I was at this Tour years ago & we saw him again a few years ago. He sold a record of 60,000 tickets at Autzen Stadium in Eugene (Home of the Oregon Ducks) He absolutely gives it his all. It’s a giant sing along party!!
Garth Brooks was THE COUNTRY artist 9f the 90's, super talented... and supposedly a really all around nice guy (besides the whole Trisha Yearwood thing). You should check out " We shall be free" I think you would really like it. It truly is an upbeat beautiful song ♡ and I'm not even really a country music fan, but I do like Garth.
I remember Garth selling out Dallas cowboys stadium three nights in a row back in the day. And sold them out in record time too. Like less than two hours each time. He drew huge crowds everywhere he went.
I believe this was the song he came out with! I was young in the 90’s but old enough to remember! Love being an 80’s baby sooo much good music I got to witness IN EVERY CATEGORY
I don't think you saw the Infamous 3rd verse he does in Live Concerts. He was going to do it when the Video cut. He was going to tell them he wasn't doing the 3rd verse. Then they Boo and then he sings it with them. Please react to the 3rd verse to Friends in Low Places.
This is a mix of many of his concerts. (same song) If you notice his shirt is different throughout. He always sold out fast. I was lucky to see him in his hey day, the man is completely crazy & energetic. A born entertainer who really loves his fans. After the show was over we stood by his bus & he signed things & talked one on one with all of us. He didn’t rush, he thanked us personally, a very humble man.There were hundreds of people by the bus, he was probably exhausted from the show, but he made sure he saw all of us one by one & gave us a big hug. This song & The Thunder Rolls were the songs I heard that got me into country music! I pretty much love all genres of music, for the most part metal is my true love but country is a close second, because of Garth. Xx
Garth *redefined* country and pathed the path for Shania and Keith Urban 🙏 Edit: fun fact! Garth originally wanted to be a rock star and even released an album under a different persona- which bombed. He found his niche and he still sells out stadiums today. He’s been married to another country star, Trisha Yearwood, for decades.
Aw. My mom and I heard this for the first time together when I turned 21... we had gone out to shoot some pool and be adults together(!). I hated country, but I dug this tune. Others were singing along... it was a great vibe! Thank you! Brings me back to a wonderful memory. RIP Momma.
I love the Red Strokes. Garth is probably the most well known country singer of all time. He appeals to people of every genre of music. He once said that he had made so much money that he could never spend it all and neither could his children or his grandchildren.
He goes before every one of his concerts and helps to set up the lighting and stage equipment ,so all of his fans are able to get a good view of the stage no matter where they are sitting in the audience!
I don't know about other places, but every person in every bar in Texas can sing along when they play this song. Another great thing about Garth Brooks is that he buys a lot of the best seats at all of his concerts. They always sell out and he doesn't want the ticket companies to buy them and scalp them, so he buys them and gives them away.
i was lucky enough to be taken by my mom to a garth brooks and george strait live concert, when i was a kid it was fucking unforgetable. that was my concert cherry pop couldn't have asked for a better concert for my 1st one.
EVERY concert is like that. When he puts on a show outside, most artists have people in lawn chairs with ice chests. Not Garth. The whole area is packed shoulder to shoulder. He put on a free concert in Central Park in New York. He packed Central Park with an estimated 850,000 people. CENTRAL PARK was packed standing room ONLY and was overflowing with people trying to get in. I don't know for sure, I'm 43 and too young to know how popular Elvis and The Beatles were, but I'd like to see them do that. I'd like to see them sell out EVERY concert in minutes.
This song has a 3rd verse you have to check out the 'live' concert version, Garth is very protective of his content, so you might have to search a while before you find it. Garth Brooks sold out huge arenas and still does, in minutes. His Central Park concert, August of 1997, which was free to the public, is one of the top 5 biggest concerts ever. Garth expected maybe a few thousand people, mainly since New York City did not have one country music station and he figured not many people would be interested in attending his concert, over 1,000,000 people showed up. The American Music Awards gave one award in it's history for Entertainer of the year back in the 90s, everyone in that category was HUGE...Garth won the award and then refused it because he didn't feel he should have won it, they never gave the award again. He is not only a great artist, he's a great guy.
Garth Brooks has more hit songs, and gold, and platinum albums than most people can count. He isn't just the biggest country artist of all time, he is also the biggest crossover artist of all time, and the biggest in record sales of all time.
This is a party anthem anybody who was partying in the bars like I was in the 90s because I was in my 20s at the time knows when this song came on what was about to go down!!
When you asked how many people were there I watched a video about his career and they talked about when he did a concert in New York City Central Park and before the concert he was worried that not many people would show up and he said at 1 point there estimated count a hour and a half prior was like 780,000 people and they had told him that count was from 90 minutes before they had told him and they were still filling in massive numbers so it may have very well have been over a million people at 1 concert in New York City at a time when with all the different listening options availed to New Yorkers there was not a single station that aired Country Music.
I believe this is a montage of several concerts. The large stadium you see is Texas Stadium in Irving, Texas, which was torn down in 2010. He held three concerts there three nights in a row in 1993. All were sold out in a stadium that held about 66,000 people. I was there the first night sitting in about the seventh row from stage. It was phenomenal!
He played Central Park and worried people in New York would not show up for an Okie country boy but when it most likely passed the million mark, he felt a little better. He is a real dude and like someone said the Dance is great
You should watch Jaime Foxx's dedication to George Strait. He sings a George Strait song to George himself at his Artist of the Decade Special on CBS. Jaime Foxx is a Texan, just like George Strait and tells a story how he's been a fan since childhood.
He is one of the best entertaners of all time. His genre may be country and western but anyone can listen to his music and be touched by it in some way.
There is a third verse to this song... he always felt it wasn't quite done so after he released it the 3rd verse was written... it makes the song even better!!! A must listen to!!!
I remember being at the Reno fair 30+ years ago and a new up and coming country singer was up on stage and could barely draw a crowd of 50 people. Hell if I only knew then who he'd turn out to be.
He is the best selling solo artist in US history as of with over 156 million domestic units sold. In the 90's he outsold Michael Jackson, Madonna, Nirvana, U2 and everyone else. He is ahead of Elvis in sales and second only to the Beatles in overall sales. Yeah he was bigger than everyone but then gave it up to retire to get to know and raise his kids because he realized they were the one thing he loved more than music.
The third verse is my favorite because it’s be how I acted! Garth sold out Central Park in NYC! He is the consummate performer. He gets so much enjoyment hearing the crowds sing his songs. I’ve seen him sing his song I believe it’s Your Song and the fans got him choked up and had to finish it for him. He truly loves his fans. I saw Garth at a baseball stadium in Tulsa Oklahoma in 1999. But I’m part of the extreme old school Garth fans. Now Garth got his start while he was at Oklahoma State University in Stoolwater Oklahoma. There’s a bar there called Tumblweeds and they have a big festival every year called Calf Fry. I got to see Garth play there at Calf Fry and it was better than the big show he played.
Well, we all have friends in low places. As a barely never married man, this song has some merit with me. Peace, Love! The world is probably better off that I did not procreate (as far as I know) Lol.
That one don't have the extra verse in it. He sells out in minutes everywhere he goes. One of his top songs but he has many. The dance. Shamless. Standing outside the fire. Unanswered prayers. He's done songs for movies. Entertainer of the year so many times. I think hall of fame. He concerts are the best!
His concerts would sell out so fast that he would immediately open sales for a second concert. He was a hot ticket to get and worth the time and money.
The Dance is even better-and I'm a metal head. That's one song that can't be overrated
Yes.And Shameless
I agree. The Dance is one of the all time best
My favorite of Garths. And I'm a metalhead too!
Thunder rolls remade in metal is pretty good lol
The dance, zombies by the cranberries, and Vincent by Don McLean are 3 songs I can't listen to without crying. The dance started getting to me after my marriage fell apart.
I remember the first time they played this on the radio. I was a metal loving teen and I immediately thought "oh shit, the world is about to lose its mind over this". And then my dad came barging in and asked "what was that song?" Only a few mins later the radio dj said, "calm down people we're gonna play it again for ya"
Best time for country music ever!!! 90s country was amazing.
@@erinmontgomery4983 Jackson Tritt Garth bringing in new that respected the old all the while many of the greats like Strait were still going strong
Right?! I dont give a f$@% you were listening to at the time, when this came on you were country baby! That's a great memory share
Garth Brooks always had sold out crowds no matter where he played. Usually at sports stadiums because they can hold the most people. His shows are legendary. He was the most popular country artist at the time, heck maybe of all time.
He also kept his ticket prices very low. You actually had to win a lottery just to be able to buy tickets.
I saw him in 97 when I was in college, Chris LeDoux opened the show… and the tickets were $10
On his relaunch tour he sold out the mts center in wpg in like 45 minutes. So they added not 1, not 2, but 3 extra shows and the ALL sold out
@@chuckbarlow4864 yep. His shows would easily sell out at 150 a ticket, but he keeps the price around 80 because he feels everyone should be able to go, not just wealthy people
Live in concert he sings the "infamous 3rd verse". Crowd goes crazy! Garth is the best!
"Well 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!"
Yup, love it.
When The Thunder Rolls, extended version is a great one. Don’t know how many were there but it’s always a sold out show no matter what state or country he plays. There is also an extended version of this song, you gotta listen to it.
Yes!!! Love tor the infamous Third verse!
@@reneebush2399 4th verse for "Thunder Rolls", 3rd verse for "Friends in Low Places".
@@TherealRNOwwfpooh You’re right!
This is definitely one of his best known songs. His concerts were always this big but he managed to engage everyone there. His fans just love him. The Dance is a special song and If Tomorrow Never Comes. Loved it and watched the whole thing, thanks!
Priceless.
'The Dance' wrecks the heart
Garth's largest concert ever was ONE MILLION people. Aug '97 in Central Park New York City
And it was free
Free!¡
Garth sells out stadiums! The venue I work at, he sold out four consecutive shows in less than two hours. It was crazy! He is a phenomenal performer!
Winnipeg mts center? The first show sold out in 20 mins so they added 3 more and they all sold out. 16,500x4
He’s the number 1 selling solo act of all time. Out selling the Beatles, Beyoncé and Elvis
Garth is a huge rabbit hole! So many hits, so many amazing albums!
Beaches of Cheyenne
Ain't going down
Papa loved mama
The dance
That summer
Standing outside the fire
Two of a kind
Etc,etc, ETC!
I think it was his first major hit, and this song put him on the map. He has SO many hits, just as big as this one
It was his third #1 and his fifth top 10. "If Tomorrow Never Comes" and "The Dance" both hit #1 before this one did. "Much too Young (to Feel this Damn Old)" and "Not Counting You" also hit the charts before this did. Still, "Friends in Low Places" is pretty synonymous with Garth Brooks:):)
This is the song that has probably ensured drunk bastards around the world will be singing at least one garth Brooks centuries from now

Thunder Rolls, Unanswered Prayers, Rodeo, Shameless. Endless hits❤️
I would say anywhere from 60k to 80k? He sold out everywhere he played. Everywhere!!!! He was HUGE in the 90’s.

Garth once put on a free concert at Central Park in New York. It was estimated that over 1 million people attended the concert
That wasn't the show's estimate; that was the official estimate from NYFD.
I went to a Garth Brooks concert early 90's. You had to enter a lottery to get tickets. I got tickets on his 3rd concert in Des Moines Iowa.
Saw him in concert several times and this song always brought the house down ... what an entertainer !!! Garth always delivers !!!
Garth Sells out EVERY concert and Stadium he’s at!!! He’s HUGE when it comes to his fan base:)
I went to a Garth Brooks concert a few years ago. He booked 5 concerts and was sold out in 40 minutes. All 5 concerts!!
Never been to a concert that wasn't sold out, and sold in record time. You need to listen to the "mystery 3rd verse" to this song.
You should do an actual live version of this song that has the “3rd verse”! Also Garth shows a lot of love to his fans! Check out the video with the cancer survivor and the video where he gives a guitar to one of his audience members.
That's "The Dance". He gifts the guitar to cancer survivor Teresa.
The Dance- Video is Powerful ❤️
best shows ever... saw him twice in Chicago, once in small venue in Champaign, and another in the stadium.. awesome!!.. back in the days when had to call in to try to get a ticket, he would be sold out in minutes and open another show usually 3 or 4 in a row

If Tomorrow Never Comes is a must
"Unanswered Prayers," "We Shall Be Free," "Callin' Baton Rouge," and "To Make you Feel My Love" are a few of my favorites.
I was a young teen when this came out and I only heard it bc my mom liked country. Still love it today! Play this anywhere and everyone will start singing!! ❤
His largest ticketed concert was 90 thousand and he did a free concert in NYC for 300 thousand
One of his biggest hits. You need to hear him sing this song when he brings in a third verse that makes the audience go nuts over it!
I went to his Central Park Concert 1997 Estimated, 1 Million People, the stage lighting caught on fire, Guest Appearances by Billy Joel, Trisha Yearwood and Don McLean, it was played Live on HBO and I can be seen in the crowd, we were close to the stage, all this and it was a FREE CONCERT!

He wants everyone to get their money worth and more. How nice is that!?
There's a 3rd verse, sang only at the live shows:
Well 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!
17+ years ago, my buddies and I would hangout at our favorite bar here in Galveston, and every time this song played the entire bar would sing along with it. Good times and good memories.
Oh, he is so good in concert! And allows people to take videos, pictures. A gentleman through and though. Love this man
The live version has a 3rd verse. I'd love to see your reaction to it!
All of his concerts are in stadiums so it’s 60,000+ people every show. He still sells out stadiums in a few minutes. You will have to listen to some of his stuff on Amazon music. He doesn’t allow his music on UA-cam so anyone who uploads his stuff on here tweaks it a little so his voice sounds different.
At one time, he was the biggest selling artist on the planet.
I saw Garth in concert july 10th 2021, it was sold out. His concerts are always sold out! Very talented man.
Garth: Live from Central Park was a concert held by American country pop musician Garth Brooks on August 7, 1997 at Central Park in New York City. Dubbed "Garthstock" (paying homage to Woodstock), the concert was free of charge and became the largest concert ever held in the park, with an estimated audience of over 1,000,000.
From the first time, Garth played at the Houston livestock show two nights before Clint Black. He has sold out every performance he’s ever sung and most of the time his concerts are sold out within five minutes. He is the most amazing singer we’ve got.
Garth Brooks is the 2nd highest selling artists ever not just country but all time
Only behind The Beatles
I was at this Tour years ago & we saw him again a few years ago. He sold a record of 60,000 tickets at Autzen Stadium in Eugene (Home of the Oregon Ducks) He absolutely gives it his all. It’s a giant sing along party!!
Garth Brooks was THE COUNTRY artist 9f the 90's, super talented... and supposedly a really all around nice guy (besides the whole Trisha Yearwood thing). You should check out " We shall be free" I think you would really like it. It truly is an upbeat beautiful song ♡ and I'm not even really a country music fan, but I do like Garth.
I remember Garth selling out Dallas cowboys stadium three nights in a row back in the day. And sold them out in record time too. Like less than two hours each time. He drew huge crowds everywhere he went.
He did a show in NYC that claimed 1 million people
30+ years hearing this it still holds up lol who doesn't sing along?!
I believe this was the song he came out with! I was young in the 90’s but old enough to remember! Love being an 80’s baby sooo much good music I got to witness IN EVERY CATEGORY
I don't think you saw the Infamous 3rd verse he does in Live Concerts. He was going to do it when the Video cut. He was going to tell them he wasn't doing the 3rd verse. Then they Boo and then he sings it with them. Please react to the 3rd verse to Friends in Low Places.
This is a mix of many of his concerts. (same song) If you notice his shirt is different throughout. He always sold out fast. I was lucky to see him in his hey day, the man is completely crazy & energetic. A born entertainer who really loves his fans. After the show was over we stood by his bus & he signed things & talked one on one with all of us. He didn’t rush, he thanked us personally, a very humble man.There were hundreds of people by the bus, he was probably exhausted from the show, but he made sure he saw all of us one by one & gave us a big hug. This song & The Thunder Rolls were the songs I heard that got me into country music! I pretty much love all genres of music, for the most part metal is my true love but country is a close second, because of Garth. Xx
He stood outside signing autographs for 24 straight hours once until he got to every person. Insane
Garth Brooks has like one of the highest grossing tours of all time. STADIUMS too . . . dudes insane. Keep it up man New Sub
Garth *redefined* country and pathed the path for Shania and Keith Urban 🙏
Edit: fun fact! Garth originally wanted to be a rock star and even released an album under a different persona- which bombed. He found his niche and he still sells out stadiums today. He’s been married to another country star, Trisha Yearwood, for decades.
Aw. My mom and I heard this for the first time together when I turned 21... we had gone out to shoot some pool and be adults together(!). I hated country, but I dug this tune. Others were singing along... it was a great vibe!
Thank you! Brings me back to a wonderful memory. RIP Momma.
Arrowhead Stadium holds 76,000 fans and I worked there when he sold out the stadium this past August!!!! in KC, MO
Me: I don't care much for country music.
Also me: Sings every Garth Brooks song word for word
Same!!
THIS!
I love the Red Strokes. Garth is probably the most well known country singer of all time. He appeals to people of every genre of music. He once said that he had made so much money that he could never spend it all and neither could his children or his grandchildren.
I love that video with the red paint..
He goes before every one of his concerts and helps to set up the lighting and stage equipment ,so all of his fans are able to get a good view of the stage no matter where they are sitting in the audience!
I don't know about other places, but every person in every bar in Texas can sing along when they play this song. Another great thing about Garth Brooks is that he buys a lot of the best seats at all of his concerts. They always sell out and he doesn't want the ticket companies to buy them and scalp them, so he buys them and gives them away.
When He played Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, TN It holds 100,000 +!!!!!
When you have some time watch the extended version of this song. Garth sells out EVERY concert!!!!! He is definitely a n entertaining legend!!!!!
i was lucky enough to be taken by my mom to a garth brooks and george strait live concert, when i was a kid it was fucking unforgetable. that was my concert cherry pop couldn't have asked for a better concert for my 1st one.
EVERY concert is like that. When he puts on a show outside, most artists have people in lawn chairs with ice chests. Not Garth. The whole area is packed shoulder to shoulder.
He put on a free concert in Central Park in New York. He packed Central Park with an estimated 850,000 people. CENTRAL PARK was packed standing room ONLY and was overflowing with people trying to get in.
I don't know for sure, I'm 43 and too young to know how popular Elvis and The Beatles were, but I'd like to see them do that. I'd like to see them sell out EVERY concert in minutes.
"It's Your Song" that he wrote for his mom and dad is amazing, also. He starts to cry during the live version, which is touching
This song has a 3rd verse you have to check out the 'live' concert version, Garth is very protective of his content, so you might have to search a while before you find it. Garth Brooks sold out huge arenas and still does, in minutes. His Central Park concert, August of 1997, which was free to the public, is one of the top 5 biggest concerts ever. Garth expected maybe a few thousand people, mainly since New York City did not have one country music station and he figured not many people would be interested in attending his concert, over 1,000,000 people showed up. The American Music Awards gave one award in it's history for Entertainer of the year back in the 90s, everyone in that category was HUGE...Garth won the award and then refused it because he didn't feel he should have won it, they never gave the award again. He is not only a great artist, he's a great guy.
He did a Free Cocert in Central Park in NY in 1997, check that concert out. Biggest Crowd I have ever seen.
Garth Brooks has more hit songs, and gold, and platinum albums than most people can count. He isn't just the biggest country artist of all time, he is also the biggest crossover artist of all time, and the biggest in record sales of all time.
This is a party anthem anybody who was partying in the bars like I was in the 90s because I was in my 20s at the time knows when this song came on what was about to go down!!
When you asked how many people were there I watched a video about his career and they talked about when he did a concert in New York City Central Park and before the concert he was worried that not many people would show up and he said at 1 point there estimated count a hour and a half prior was like 780,000 people and they had told him that count was from 90 minutes before they had told him and they were still filling in massive numbers so it may have very well have been over a million people at 1 concert in New York City at a time when with all the different listening options availed to New Yorkers there was not a single station that aired Country Music.
I believe this is a montage of several concerts. The large stadium you see is Texas Stadium in Irving, Texas, which was torn down in 2010. He held three concerts there three nights in a row in 1993. All were sold out in a stadium that held about 66,000 people. I was there the first night sitting in about the seventh row from stage. It was phenomenal!
Garth Brooks concerts are ALWAYS sold out months in advance!!!! Gotta be fast when tickets go on sale!!!!🎵🎼🎶🎸🥁🎤🎹💜
He played Central Park and worried people in New York would not show up for an Okie country boy but when it most likely passed the million mark, he felt a little better. He is a real dude and like someone said the Dance is great
You should watch Jaime Foxx's dedication to George Strait. He sings a George Strait song to George himself at his Artist of the Decade Special on CBS. Jaime Foxx is a Texan, just like George Strait and tells a story how he's been a fan since childhood.
He is one of the best entertaners of all time. His genre may be country and western but anyone can listen to his music and be touched by it in some way.
That is the concert in NY Cental Park - an estimated 980,000 people were there!!!! that is almost a million!!!!!!!
Lots and lots of people and many so close to him, this kind of trust is amazing in today's world of crazy people in crowded places
He holds the record for Best Entertainer. There’s nothing else than the energy at a Garth Concert 🎉
He had a concert in Central Park and there were people for MILES. He was huge
I've been to probably 30+ concerts and garth was by far the best I've ever been too. His energy is amazing. All his shows are always sold out
Garth played Central Park in August 1997 and had over 1,000,000 people show up. Said he didn't know there were that many cowboy hats in New York.
He has so many hit songs. He is one of the greatest entertainers ever. You should listen to many more of his.
There is a third verse to this song... he always felt it wasn't quite done so after he released it the 3rd verse was written... it makes the song even better!!! A must listen to!!!
I remember being at the Reno fair 30+ years ago and a new up and coming country singer was up on stage and could barely draw a crowd of 50 people. Hell if I only knew then who he'd turn out to be.
I went to see him and he sold out four shows in 30 minuted!! One of the best concerts I've ever been to! Great time!!!❤😁
Saw him at Rupp Arena...me and almost 21,000 of my best friends! You definitely get your money's worth!
Garth had a stadium tours the last couple of years. Many times he puts on more than 1 show.
He is the best selling solo artist in US history as of with over 156 million domestic units sold. In the 90's he outsold Michael Jackson, Madonna, Nirvana, U2 and everyone else. He is ahead of Elvis in sales and second only to the Beatles in overall sales. Yeah he was bigger than everyone but then gave it up to retire to get to know and raise his kids because he realized they were the one thing he loved more than music.
The third verse is my favorite because it’s be how I acted! Garth sold out Central Park in NYC! He is the consummate performer. He gets so much enjoyment hearing the crowds sing his songs. I’ve seen him sing his song I believe it’s Your Song and the fans got him choked up and had to finish it for him. He truly loves his fans. I saw Garth at a baseball stadium in Tulsa Oklahoma in 1999. But I’m part of the extreme old school Garth fans. Now Garth got his start while he was at Oklahoma State University in Stoolwater Oklahoma. There’s a bar there called Tumblweeds and they have a big festival every year called Calf Fry. I got to see Garth play there at Calf Fry and it was better than the big show he played.
Well, we all have friends in low places. As a barely never married man, this song has some merit with me. Peace, Love! The world is probably better off that I did not procreate (as far as I know) Lol.
When I was in high school this was an anthem. He is special.
They don't just give artist of the decade awards for the heck of it! 1990's were the biggest decade of country music and Garth was at the TOP.
That one don't have the extra verse in it. He sells out in minutes everywhere he goes. One of his top songs but he has many. The dance. Shamless. Standing outside the fire. Unanswered prayers. He's done songs for movies. Entertainer of the year so many times. I think hall of fame. He concerts are the best!
His concerts would sell out so fast that he would immediately open sales for a second concert. He was a hot ticket to get and worth the time and money.
