I should have had a camera with me tonight- we saw some freaky lookin' people- dudes wearing their "good" camoflauge hats with their Skoal t-shirts, some guy in fire engine red pants and suspenders that looked more like a rodeo clown than a cowboy. I almost asked a guy wearing a Dale Earnhardt Sr. jacket if Dale was still dead.

OMG, last night was right up there with winning the Stanley Cup for best nights of my life.

Just amazing. You guys are in for a great show!

I don't feel so good this morning... :(

Get your butt to the concert then feel sick!

wow! I really had a good time tonght! Thanks BTD and friend for the tickets. Major Mojo.

I'm really not a fan and I really can't stand the "Friends in Low Places" song at all. It ranks and one of the most obnoxious songs ever recorded. And to have 20,000 people singing along to it made it all the worse. AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Otherwise, he puts on a great show - some songs I knew somewhat - he sounded great even with the bad acoustics of the Staples Center. My acraphobia was in full swing as I sat in the 2nd to last row at the top of the center, which was otherwise great.

Pics to follow!

Very fun show, thanks for the ticket - I was in the very top row of the Staples Center - the video screen was down below! :)

I took a whole lotta buncha pictures, so I had fun with that, and I got a lot of comments about my outfit. I even had a cowgirl offer to do something 'nice' if I'd give her my jacket.

Here's my pics from today - Garth Brooks Concert Adventure
:D

I really enjoyed the concert. Garth Brooks is wonderful live. He still has that great voice of his.
I think the big appeal for me is that he really comes across as an ordinary Joe and kind to boot. (ba dum ching) He played many of his hits and didn't hinder the entire afternoon playing new stuff no one will hear. :D
One of the nice things GB did was play to the entire audience. The sides, the seats behind him and even thanked the people sitting farthest away from him.
One of the highlights was when he gave a woman in the audience his guitar. She had asked him for a guitar pick and then got a signed guitar from him. Such a cool guy.
When Trisha Yearwood showed up, the Staples Center went nuts. Almost giving her a longer ovation than Brooks. She has a great voice, too.
Once again, a cowboy didn't disappoint this cowgirl. And, might I say that there were a number of hot cowpokes there today. And, for me, it was a real turn on to see a bunch of cowboys cheer it up for another cowboy. There was even one in the second row giving Brooks the 'I love you' sign throughout the show. (At first I thought it was the devil sign but then I saw his thumb.)
Anyway, I thank the Marla for the opportunity to see someone in concert that I've always wanted to see. Gracias, chica. :)
Great show.

Thanks for sharing the pictures Matt, Brandy and I have seen Garth in concert a total of 8 times and he never fails to wow. I did get to watch his special on CBS Friday evening but nothing compares to being in the building when he's 'on his game'.

I think that one of the things I respect about the man is he does put his children above his career...I think his first marriage falling apart was a real wake up call for him and I wish he and Trisha many years of happiness and the same for his ex Sandy.
