HardLuckWoman wrote: » If you can get the new boxset from America, it has a dvd with him playing at the Wynn Las Vegas. Its just him and his guitar. Its worth it for the dvd alone. Its way better than the 1997 concert, I think. Its brilliant anyway. After watching the dvd, would love to see him in the O2 with just him and his guitar. Thats a hint if any promotors are reading this.

Irish Independent wrote: THE GAA has ruled out a sixth Garth Brooks concert in Croke Park. A total of 400,000 have snapped up tickets to see the country crooner play an unprecedented five nights at the stadium. But last night a spokesperson said the GAA have ruled out another gig. Meanwhile concerns have been raised over the dates that Brooks will play at GAA headquarters next July, as the five sell-out concerts are scheduled for the week in between crucial football fixtures. The concerts will be on the week following the Leinster football final and the week prior to the All-Ireland football quarter-finals. Should the result of the Leinster final on July 20 be a draw and forced to a replay, the GAA are facing a scheduling nightmare as Brooks is set to occupy the stadium the following week from July 25 until July 29.

It was a good night and the crowd were lovely. All looking out for each other. One lovely lady passed around tins of roses. Another lady went down the queue in the morning with a bin bag asking for rubbish and collecting it. There was no sh1tting and p1ssing in the streets either. There were public toilets up the road in Eyre Square and we went about minding each others places in the queue. They were a lovely bunch of people and there was no fighting or anything.

Because it's fun, i had a great time chatting to people around me when i was queuing. ugh, that would be soo annoying. it's on my bucket list sure to get to see garth brooks live, it doesn't matter where he was playing in Ireland i was going, because i've been a fan for 20 years now. i know when he comes back in 2015 i will be going again. if i hear some one "will he play friends in low places or the dance or if tomorrow never comes already, there will be war. heck yeah!!!!!!!!

rubadub wrote: » Yep, so they usually end up shouting, so even worse. With lots of big acts many people will go "just to say they saw them", as garth rarely plays it will attract people like this. Its sort of similar to people not visiting scenic places in their own country, since they reckon they will always get the chance to do it anytime they want. Some will rave about seeing a band, and the next time they come its "I won't bother sure I saw them before", sort of a like a bucket list, crossing them off their "one to see" list. At springsteen I saw loads of people talk all over the songs, especially slower ones where they can be heard, and ruin it even moreso for people who do know the quiet/slow song. Then they perk up only when born in the usa comes on. The promoters can be to blame partly too. e.g. when the film hurricane came out it had the bob dylan song in it. He NEVER plays this live, yet in the TV adverts they were playing it, inferring it is likely to be played and other greatest hits, he does play his hits but often very different versions, which many would not recognize at first.. So you had people in the audience roaring out "hurricane" at him. I think similar happened with neil young, the tv ads inferred it would be a greatest hits and he only did 1 or 2 that you would find on a best of.
