Garth's "secret sauce" is the unbridled joy he takes in performing. If you didn't "fall in love" with the songs, the voice, the art, the music, the charisma, and the talent, that boundless glee will surely get you. It's overwhelming.

That instrument is a steel guitar, an absolute staple of classic country music 🎶

To be at one of his concerts is truly an experience. Friends In Low Places always blows the roof off the place. My favorite part is when Garth just sits on stage and does a song like The River and he stops singing and just listens to the audience as they sing the song to him. There's just nothing like it.

This man is a song writer, a story teller, and a entertainer/performer all rolled into one.

He did a free concert in Central Park in NYC and approx half a million people showed up.

My Dad loved Garth and this song. His one request was to have this song played at his memorial service when he passed. We made sure that happened when we lost him last year. I know he was laughing

He's a ham, a showman and he's concerts are crazy.. Love him

This is also one of the most sung country songs in Karaoke bars. It doesn't usually take much to get the audience involved 😅

Garth was the consummate performer! That’s why he has sold soooooo many records!!! He has sold over 170 million records. He remains to this day the best selling solo artist, with 157 million album sales. Impressive.

He gave a FREE concert in Central Park in Aug 1997. The NY Fire Department estimated attendance at 980,000 - the largest ever & no one has exceeded that # in the 25+ years since.

There’s a reason Garth has been entertainer of the year so many times and newer singers got mad that he was back in the running a couple years ago and complained bc they knew he would win

I finally got to see Garth live several years ago at Target Center, in Minneapolis. It was the greatest concert I've ever seen! His energy and the crowd are amazing.

That instrument is called a Pedal Steel Guitar. It's _extremely_ common in Country Music.

Seeing Garth live in concert is life changing. He absolutely gives his all!!

My boyfriend and I were in Nashville last month for our anniversary and we went to the Grand Ole Opry. Him and Trisha Yearwood came on and played as a surprise showing, and it made my year, I love him 😭❤️

I have been to three of his concerts and they were awesome. My neighbor at the time was a cousin to one of the band members her name was Marie and if you listen to his CD of Friends in Low Places you can here them yell push Marie because she was in labor while they were recording the CD. True Story

I saw him for FREE when he came to NYC's Central Park. It was my nephew's 10th birthday. I picked up a cake, brought him and the other kiddos to Central Park and we saw Garth Brooks FOR FREE! It was an awesome concert. Will never forget it.

I've been to over a hundred concerts in my life, and Garth is in my top 3. So good I've seen him 5 times. Truly an experience

I've been to hundreds of concerts in the last 40 years I saw Garth last year at Notre Dame was by far the best performance I've ever seen live

You definitely need to see Garth in concert !

Something about Garth, he is a master performer. I got lucky enough to get tickets when I like 16 to see him perform live in San Antonio. He really uses the whole stage, all that running around, that is legit what he does. Trying to take the sticks from the drummer, yeap. Third verse, always live.

The first time I heard this song was the first I'd heard Garth Brooks. I was on my way to work. I sang this song all day long after hearing it just that one time!

I saw him live at his Vegas show in 2011 to mark a milestone birthday. A very different vibe than this arena shows. We were in the 4th row and he sat by himself on a stool and held that crowd in the palm of his hands. It was like he was doing a concert in your living room. Fabulous!

He was huge back in the day. I've only been to one of this concerts. It was amazing.

I am 56 and I got to see Garth Brooks for the first time last year. Our kids got us tickets for Christmas! It was the best concert I have ever been to! He still has the same energy that he had when he first started out!!

He did a concern in New York and I used to have it on VHS and he ran and sang the whole time. Garth loved doing his job.

I went to high school with him, have met his mom, he played football! He was a really nice guy! Ive gotten to see at least 4 times and he always blows the crowd away!

The third verse of this song is only heard in his live performances... Just like in his song "Thunder Rolls", which has a third verse they banned on radio back in the day... But you can hear it live... Garth's live shows used to be dirt cheap... Like 65-75% cheaper then his competition... And, in many cases, gave as much as 10x the show to boot... Also... @ 10:51 ... His wife, country singer Trisha Yearwood is with him... She is a great singer too... Last I heard, she had her own cooking show too... Not sure if it is still on though...

This video is from the Garth Brooks Double Live DVD Set. For audio sync, the close ups on Garth in the blue shirt was filmed in the old Dallas Cowboys field known as Texas Stadium, that stadium is no longer standing. You have a keen eye to have noticed different crowds. They actually included footage of crowds in New York City, Dublin Ireland, and some other places. If you ever get a chance to get your hands on Double Live DVD set, you will not regret it. I have this set and still watch it sometimes.

Garth is known for his "Extra Verses" in live performances. You won't hear them on the radio.

Back in the day...there was no one like Garth Brooks in concert. The man KNOWS how to put on a show!!!!!!!

I've seen him twice. Both concerts were amazing. Well worth the money.

This song has a third verse, as does The Thunder Rolls. Far as I know it’s only done live.

Sebs, you nailed the Michael Jordan comparison! Garth is well known to sell out his concerts in mere minutes and is just as well known to add shows sometimes 2 a night just so all his fans have an opportunity to see him! Not to mention, he keeps his ticket prices extremely reasonable compared to most artists! He’s such a humble, down to earth guy! And his energy is insane! He’s even gone literally flying through the venue so he could get closer to the upper levels! He said he walks the venue before the shows and sits in the upper sections and tries to think of ways to make the show special for everyone!❤❤

As a kid watching his tv concerts was amazing and I still hold out hope to see a live show one day. You see why he earned Entertainer of the Decade

I saw in an interview once where Garth said that in the music video, if you listen closely, you can hear someone yell "push Marie!!!", in the final chorus. This is because in the 80-person choir singing backup, only 78 are singing. One is in labor, and one is assisting. 😊 Great song and great reaction ❤

The instrument in question is a Steel Guitar. Some of these have a pedal that can be used to change the pitch on certain strings.

I saw Garth in 2015 when he came out of retirement. Excellent performance. Worth every penny.

I’ve seen him 4 times so far and every show gets better and better! Best concerts I’ve ever been to!❤❤❤

I've seen Garth 2x, about 15 yrs between them, and they were both the most entertaining concerts I've seen..and the 2nd time he was doing 4 concerts in 2 days, I attended the 2nd of the night..and he still blew the roof off Rupp!

In Ain't Going Down Till The Sun Comes Up at Texas Stadium he flys up to the cheap seats ( which aren't really cheap at a Garth concert )😂

I agree with another subscriber. "Aint going down till the sun comes up" with him flying is the best live video. His is the best performer.

Garth Brooks is on of my all time favorite musicians. My first Garth concert was in December 1992. I was pregnant with my first child (Tyler) who was overdue so we bought general admission tickets at the gate. It was the BEST show ever!!!! My second concert was at Neyland Stadium in the January. My niece (not a country fan) went with me and we realized our seats were on the very last row and it was frigid. Despite the conditions, I'll never forget her turning to me and saying "I didn't know this was going to be so awesome!"

Garth concerts are full of energy from beginning to end. Everyone is each others best friend & you’ll have a sore throat for two after singing (screaming) along. Great reaction!! You are a beautiful couple. 💞

He's one of the best EVER! I love me some Garth.

Top selling artist for a reason. His concerts are electric

I saw Garth twice in concert. Both times in Pittsburgh PA. THE best concerts I’ve ever been to! That man is a true showman.He gives everyone he has to his audience!

Saw him in Houston..,,,greatest performer EVER!!!!

He is the Best to see in concert !

Without a doubt best concert I’ve ever been to still to this day! Took hours to get out of the parking lot but the local station played his songs the whole time so no one was in a hurry. Windows down singing our way home together!

I saw Garth on November 21st 1998 at Texas A&M Reed stadium. It was a great concert. This song was all fired up just like in this video. There was several parts of this video from the This is Garth Brooks video that came out in 1992, I had the VHS of it, like the smashing and jumping on the guitar.

The place is packed and EVERY concert is like that. He's one of the 3 top performers of all time. Elvis, The Beatles and Garth Brooks. And Garth is catching up. And his entrances on stage are legendary. I went to a show at LSU in '98 and when he came out, he started singing off stage. Then a piano rose up in the middle of the stage and he's playing it. Or you think that's him. In the first verse the real GB rises up out of the piano. At LSU in April, the drums were in the middle and he starts singing his opening song. Then the drums start rising and he's under them like he's pushing them up to get on stage. AWESOME!!!

i remember coming back from basic training to hang out with my brother. He took me to a hip hop club. I was having a good time they had a dj i requested this song for some reason. He put it on and i was completely shooked that everyone knew the song and was singing along was a good time.

I saw Garth Brooks at the grand ole opry years ago. Roy Acuff was still performing and Garth was introduced as “a new talent outta Yukon Oklahoma”…He was just a guy in Wranglers, a hat and western cut white shirt. No pyrotechnics, no acrobatics, just a cowboy singing and playing a guitar…I immediately bought his cassette offered after the show. It’s called a pedal steel guitar.

One of the best concerts I ever been too! Garth is pure energy when he performs!

Garth still has the same energy as he did the first time I saw him in 1996. When i saw him in 96, he sold out 4 shows in 11 minutes, and that's in the little area of WV I live in . He's the only artist that sells out multiple nights of shows in every city. Sometimes, he does 2 shows a day. He's always the motto that he will play as many shows that people are willing to buy tickets for.

Love love love his concerts. He is the best country singer in my opinion. His concerts are actually fairly cheep compared to most. He believes in keeping it affordable for the average worker. Also if his concert sells out so fast, which it always does he will add more concert nights in that town so all of his fans get a chance to see him. 😊

Nobody that didn't grow up listening to him can ever truly understand exactly how beloved Garth is to country music. You asked how many people were at that concert and I do not have that figure for you but what I can tell you is that Garth Brooks has sold more concert tickets than any artist in the history of music. Nobody performs number one hits like George Strait can........ And nobody fills stadium seats like Garth Brooks can. It isn't even close by the way..... I don't know who the next top concert ticket seller is but I do know they are behind Garth by like 10 million tickets. He always had good special effects, a ton of energy, and tricks ip his sleeve. My favorite Garth story is that every chance that he could he would instruct the venue he was to perform at to not sell any tickets in the front row. People would show up to the show and think that he was a jerk that didn't want his fans near him....... But the reason he would leave it open is because right when the concert started he would instruct all the people from the back row to come and fill in the front row because hes freaking AWESOME.

I saw him live 2x in the late 90's & I can say he still is the best concerts I've ever seen. I've been to roughly 60 concerts since his & none of them top his performance.

Wow, that was one of the most forward thinking and REAL responses/reactions I have ever seen to this song. Love your work Sebs....You are great at what you do! Keep'em coming!

Went to his concert in the late 80's when he first broke out and it was one of the best concerts I've ever attended!

Garth Brooks is one hell of a Show Man I seen him ones in 1999 he is down to earth He gives 200 percent of him self in his show👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

If you EVER get the chance to go to a Garth Brooks concert... DO IT!! The energy and the experience is like no other. And you are right. Garth has always tried to keep his ticket prices lower than most so everyone is able to see him who wants to. Also he has always said that he wants those in the farthest seats to have as much fun as those in the front row. He tries to play to everyone. He is really genuinely a really nice and down to earth person. Very humble. The vegas show is probably a little bit different though, but you can never go wrong with garth

Great bar song. Evrrybody knows the words and sings them loudly Good choice Ali!! Smart and beautiful!

The instrument is a pedal steel guitar. I love hearing them. Great song!

This song is why I listen to country. I believe he did this song at the American Music Awards 1990, and my Brother said here, watch this. Listen to this guy. “I don’t like country”, and he says “well you may change your mind”.

Your analogy of comparing Garth to Michael Jordan is spot on! 100% true! Michael Jordan is the best that ever lived and always went all out and that is what Garth is to country music

I saw him very early in his music career and again just a few years ago. He still has the energy of a 20 something year old. He's a great song writer, a good singer, and an excellent entertainer.

I saw Garth in concert in the mid 90's in Adelaide, South Australia. He was amazing.

He’s just a great entertainer performer and human being. Back in 2016 I believe it was I was working for a company that sold concert tickets and we were doing Garth Brooks tickets and it is amazing that this man had every seat in the house that he was playing in for only $59 per ticket. It didn’t matter where your seat was. That was the price that you were going to pay he wanted to make sure that everybody could afford to come to his concert. Now I do you understand Vegas is probably expensive and he probably have to do that because it’s Vegas and I’m not sure what his ticket prices are now, but I just thought it was an amazing gesture on his half so everybody had a chance to come see his concert to make it all one price. It’s my dream to see him I’ll probably never be able to see him, but then he puts on a good show from what I’ve seen and his tickets sell out within minutes so he can sell out seven days in one location in five minutes. That’s crazy that’s love.

Garth is a performer first and a singer after that. He throws the best stage show in country music.

I’ve always loved that “mysterious third verse”, as he sometimes called it.

One of the best live shows you will ever see!!!

I agree Sebs , Garth is the Michael Jordan and the Angelina Jordan of country Music. Michael loved what he did, Angelina loves what she does. Ya cant fake that expression on ones face of pure love and contentment of doing something that ya just love doing.

I watched Garth open for George Strait in Phoenix at Vtererans Memorial Coliseum decades ago. None of us knew who he was. After that tour with George, everyone knew who Garth was!!!

I used to cook for his parents. I remember the night I first met them. It was the night after he won his first Entertainer of the Year award in 1991. They were at the awards when he won. They stroll in the door, order some burgers and went to sit down. I finish the order and everyone wanted to take the food to them. I asked what the big deal was and on cue they all look at me and say, that's Garth's parents. I said, okay...who is Garth? (I was a metal guy, sue me). They turned one of the televisions around and it was the news showing Garth winning the night before and those two people clearly sitting next to him. Very nice people. They came in maybe 4 or 5 more times before I graduated high school and moved away from good old Yukon, Oklahoma! He was our QB!

One of the greatest entertainers in American history

I love remembering singing this in the car with you Ali!❤️❤️

I saw Garth in 1999...the company I worked for at the time had a box and let us buy tickets for $10 each...took my sister and brother-in-law (hubby hates country)....amazing concert!

Having friends in low places is more fun , than in high place were most heads are up thier you now what. Keep up the great work.

I’m 57, seen him once. He came here in ?? 2015? Did 4 shows: 2 Friday, 2 Sat. We saw the last of the four and he was still crazy energetic, sounded great, played til 1:30 AM. It was fantastic. He told us he played longer because it was the last show and because his wife was sick and she was unable to perform that night

My sisters and I are headed out to Vegas in December to see him and I cannot wait! This will be my first Garth concert and Garth concert #2 for one sister and #4 (!) for my other sister. We don't have a lot in common due to the age gap (11 and 9 years older than me), but we 100% agree on Garth!

Garth Brooks' concert was the best concert I have ever been to hands down.

I’ve seen Garth 4 times total with 2 times in Vegas. Always an amazing show!!

I go to his concert every year he's comes to baton rouge Louisiana . And i love his concerts

His concerts are like going to a rock concert with all the lights. Great showman

If you ever watch the documentary Country Music by Ken Burns, it is stated that Garth Brooks is a country singer with a rock n roll stage show.

His concert at our local fair sold out in seconds so they added another show at midnight! It was great - we waited in line while the first show was going on! Got home at 3 am but it was worth every dollar and all the time spent! Fantastic show!

You do need to go I went to one of his back in the 90’s and it was AWESOME!!!! He is a fantastic performer!!!

Thank y’all , I haven’t heard this song in a long minute! Much love 💕

I was able to see him at Dallas cowboys stadium last year and oh my the best concert I’ve ever been to. And one of the best just overall entertainment event I’ve ever been too

I know it doesn't compare at all but I was at Summerfest in Milwaukee just as A Great Big World was getting big. The entire crowd was singing along and the band had this look on their faces like "We made it". They were bewildered and the singer looked back and said: "They know our song!". That was fun - I can't imagine being part of something this big.

Been to his concert it is out of this world. He is a wild man. For his encore he picks songs from people poster boards in the audience.

I saw him in 1995 my senior year of high school and it was the best concert I’ve ever been too!

I am a fellow "Okie" just like Garth Brooks and you should go see him in Vegas. It will be the best concert you ever go to for sure.

I love your reviews on these country singers and their songs. You both are great

In the 90s he won entertainer of the year multiple times in a row.

Garth is the man. Seeing him in person is on my bucket list. He wears that microphone so he can run around stage/jump off etc. I also adore his wife Trisha Yearwood who is a great singer and cook.(she was the lady shooting one of the cannons w/him) He’s known for acknowledging signs he sees in the audience

I remember him talking about his concerts in an interview. His theory is that if you just wanted to hear the song you could listen to it on the radio for free. If you're paying your hard earned money it's for a SHOW.

Garth is legendary for his performances, and rightly so.
