| - 5 STARS!!
The douche who gave one star is a loser. Let me explain.
I left the show feeling I really got to know Garth Brooks. It was just him on stage with an acoustic guitar and no band. He was more than casual. Jeans, construction boots, hoodie and cap. He played maybe twelve of his own songs and told stories and jokes and ran through the decades. All while talking about the songs that he and his family used to listen to that left a footprint in his heart. It was kind of like "Storytellers" on VH1. He played more than 20 covers, and told a story about each, loaded with great funny punchlines. He talked a lot about his mom and dad and their influences. He also swore like a sailor. Covers included George Jones, Merle Haggard, Simon & Garfunkel, Cat Stevens, Jim Croce, James Taylor, Bob Seger - on and on. Many more. All in a timeline from the 60's thru the 90's.
As a topper, he brought out his wife, Trisha Yearwood out for a duet.
The security was HARDCORE about no cameras and phones. I watched them boot someone.
If you go: just remember that it's not a "concert", it's a Vegas show. And Garth is there to entertain you. And that he did.
