I am a huge Garth fan and when I found out he will be playing at the Wynn last year, I was already waiting for the tickets to go on sale. I had only previously seen him once, in LA for the firefighters but since my mom is also a huge fan, been listening to him since I was a little one.
I waited 30 minutes on the phone and got fourth row tickets for his first Saturday show and first weekend back in 09'. I loved the fact that they made it extremely difficult for scalpers to get these tickets.
The show...WOW!! I was like a 12 year old screaming for the new hot boy band! I loved that fact that it was just him and his guitar, so raw and no set list. To hear someone sing without all the background music just made me realize what a great voice Garth has. I had goosebumps when he sang verses from some of my favorite songs. He took requests from the crowd and had when is wife came on had some great dialog back in forth with the crowd. This is something you just don't get in a big stadium with a massive amount of people.
At one point I thought he was going to jump off stage and I almost flew out of my seat. To which my mom started laughing at me. I wish the night would never end and he would just keep talking to us. I loved hearing what some of his influences were and just speak to us like he would his family. After the concert ended, I was sold on buying more tickets. To bad Wynn doubled the price of them last month, now I need to save even more!
