Garth Brooks

This was a surprise Birthday gift from my wife, we came all the way from the Detroit area to Gatlinburg for the week and this was my Birthday surprise while we were in town, it was the most amazing concert I've ever been too, and to be able to experience it with my wife and son was so incredible. I can not explain the amount of energy and enthusiasm that was in that stadium that night 🤯, there is a reason he's been named Entertainer of the year and Decade and that's because he's earned it.

Without a doubt the most incredible concert I’ve ever attended. This was my first Garth Brooks concert and I knew it would be amazing, but I was still blown away. Even being waaaay up towards the top/back of the arena, I felt like I was so close. Garth and his band are second to none. I cannot wait to see him again. It was definitely a night I’ll never forget.

Garth was phenomenal! His love for the audience always shines through. He never took a break, his energy was incredible and we loved hearing a variety of his songs. The Ghost Hounds didn't seem to be in the correct venue, though. Their musicians and singers were not in tune with each other or the crowd. NRG seemed to have some sound issues. We were on level 5 and the sound wasn't as clear as it could have been. Since we knew all Garth's songs, we could figure out what he was singing/saying, though. All in all, the concert still receives a 5+!

OMG!! It has been so long since his last concert like 27 years ago! Brought back such wonderful memories. Me and my youngest son was there this time and 27 years when he was three. This one was just as good and wonderful as the last. I hope he comes back , we will surely go! Thank again for the wonderful memories!!! A concert no cam forget! Garth is the master at country music and always will be!!!!

Garth was your typical Garth show, but disappointing that he does not make an effort to have a quality lineup. On the same night in Kansas City, George Strait had Chris Stapleton, Little Big Town and Parker McCollum. Garth had Matt Rossi (played 3 covers, nothing original) and as always Trisha.

Outstanding show! The energy in the stadium was unbelievable. Garth never disappoints, a pure entertainer. Bands snd artists will play to cities for cheap “pops” but Garth seemed genuinely blown away by the energy of the crowd, even saying that if he tours again in the future he promises to start the tour in Charlotte. He again confirmed this on his social media channel a couple of days later. Very proud of my city! Charlotte brought it on back-to-back nights and Garth ate it up. Top 5 concerts I’ve ever attended, and I’ve attended many.

FANtastic! AWEsome! No one puts on a show like GARTH BROOKS!!!! I am a rock show person but truly no one holds a candle to Garth! The sound was the best I've ever experienced, and I go to hundreds of shows! T-shirt prices are $25 and up. Super great deal compared to other acts charging $40 or more! I rate it a 10/10!!!!

If I could give Garth’s Saturday night concert in Charlotte 100⭐️s, I would. The energy of the stadium was phenomenal. Having Trisha Yearwood sing 3 songs, 2 with him (to include Shallow), and one of her hits (She’s in love with the boy) was another highlight of the show. You could tell at the end of the concert that Garth did not want to leave the stage. He truly has a passion for performing and makes his fans feel special and that concert they’re at is the BEST one ever!

Garth Brooks: 7/16/22 “Destination Charlotte, row 2, front stage floor, the event Garth Brooks for the second of two shows at Bank of America stadium. It was my first time seeing my last artist of the 4 super-artists of the Class of ’89 series (the others being Alan Jackson, Clint Black and Travis Tritt). In a way it was a second chance for me as I held a pair of tickets to a canceled performance going back to December of 2019 at the same venue. For this round, Garth in consideration, instead of selling out one full stadium show chose to only sell the lower bowl and floor for a multiple evening engagement so fans were assured a choice view. It also made for a somewhat intimate experience. Once seated, my close-up view revealed the intricacies of the stage. What was advertised as a ‘stage in the round’ was more like a football shape positioned near the end zone, points to the sides each with mini-catwalk extensions. The stage was housed beneath a giant pavilion held by four columns which doubled as light/video bars on all four sides of each, affixed to the columns extending up to the covering were four 30 foot Jumbotrons facing each point of the compass, two speaker-stacks were positioned on each side of each screen (16 in all). Additional speakers were positioned high in the air on crane scaffolding towards the rear of the floor front stage. A quadruple drum kit (Garth designed) was positioned dead center on a three stair 18’ platform, each stair layer illuminated with individual lights round about, the same was true of the catwalks (too many individual lights to count). My view was the lighting rigs on the underside of the pavilion, pretty cool: a full four square of lights plus a circular rig in its center with four ‘V’s (points in towards the circle) extending out to the square which could raise, lower and tilt down. Immediately prior to a stage time of 8:15, crew conducted an audience sound-level check for an upcoming live recording release ‘Killer LIVE’. A TRIPLE g LIVE countdown clock signaled that the time had finally arrived, 3-2-1… ‘Alexa play Garth Brooks Live in Charlotte’ resounded from the massive sound system while the band ‘The G-Men’ (a number of members who have been with him through the 80’s & 90’s) took the stage. We could hear Garth singing ‘All Day Long’ but he was nowhere to be found. The top layer of the drum platform began to separate from the bottom layers like a cake rising into the air on cables with puffs of smoke all around revealing Garth hanging onto the underside of the platform, a grand entrance. Thus began a 2 1/2 hr show consisting of 30 songs. In my opinion the 60 year old singer ranked right up there with rock n roll’s leading frontmen running all angles of the four-square with his headworn mic (mostly in a clock-wise rotation), calling out to his ‘voices’ i.e. the fans, leading sing alongs, and tossing his guitar cross-stage to an awaiting crewman with precision. This being the 4th from the last show on the tour, Garth had it down to a science! ‘O Really?’, said Garth. ‘How’s everybody doing, you doing ok? Sweet! People, it’s Saturday night, I say we turn it up and raise some hell!’ By song six, Garth was drenched with sweat, my wife leaned over to me and said, ‘He looks like he fell into a tub’. There was no doubt about it, Garth was clearly enthralled by the Charlotte crowd, shown by a hearty ‘YEEAAAAH!’ resoundingly projected by Brooks at least a dozen times upon completion of a song. There was ‘The Thunder Rolls’ complete with thunder and lightning simulation that made my chest shake. There were confetti and streamer cannons raining down far into the crowd during ‘Friends In Low Places’. There was a giant disco ball illuminating the entire stadium during ‘The Dance’. Someone on this week’s online ‘StudioG Live’ had said they would love to hear ‘Carolina In My Mind’/James Taylor, and Garth delivered. ‘Tonight we came here to North Carolina to pay tribute to the guy other than God Himself to why I play music, and that’s none other than your own James Taylor!’ A ‘Carolina In My Mind/JT medley ensued including ‘Mockingbird’ with Trisha (an absolute perfect call and respond by the duo). Yes, ‘Queen’ Trisha was there and following Mockingbird she delivered a crowd rousing rendition of ‘She’s In Love With The Boy’ at Garth’s request! Then there were the other covers: a Randy Travis medley, ‘Fishing In The Dark’, ‘Night Moves’, Coe’s ‘You Never Even Called Me By Name’, ‘Rocket Man’, and ‘Piano Man’ (the second encore)! Songs NOT included in the set… What She’s Doing Now, We Shall Be Free, More Than A Memory, Somewhere Other Than The Night, Learning To Live Again, American Honky Tonk Bar Association, It’s Midnight Cinderella, and Longneck Bottle, but with 58 charted singles how does one build a setlist to accommodate everyone? Garth’s concluding words, ‘I’m so in love with you, thank you for the greatest weekend!’ The sound was great! From where I sat, I could understand every word that was sung with clarity which is very uncommon for an open air event. Kudos to Garth who doesn’t follow suit with the greediness associated with merch sales… 6 varieties of official tour shirts were all presented at an affordable $25 each! Garth did have an opener, Mitch Rossell from E. Tennessee delivered a crowd pleasing 4 song set. All this plus the weather held up, a perfect 80° at showtime, earlier storms had passed and the only Thunder that Rolled came from the stage!” by DAve (Concert #677)

Security did a good job keeping the front isles clear so the ones who bought the higher priced tickets could actually see. Parking was tight. But, we found a private lot and parked close. The way they did wrist bands was not smoothe at all. We kept getting redirected to get to the right place to get the bands.

Concert was great but stadium was too crowded, concessions, restrooms and parking was a nightmare!! Was expecting Calling Baton Rouge to be played twice which was a let down. And tickets indicated concert was to start at 7pm and did not start until 8:15 pm and under the extremely crowded conditions this made fans miserable!!!

Amazing show- one of the best- If not THE best I have ever been to (and I go to concerts all of the time). Grew up listening to Garth and was able to check this off of my bucket list!! If you have not been - it is a must see !!! Wonderful entertainer, humble, full of surprises !!!

Garth loves his fans and preformed for his fans and Garth does this for Me and the other 69999’s other people at camping world stadium on Saturday night that enjoyed their Selves as much as I did ,leaving there from a high just from the music high from the man and his wife and the music! Thank Garth for a Great time!!!! This was my first out time !!!!

1st time seeing Garth Brooks in concert!! It was an amazing show. The crowd was insane and so into it!! And he just fed off of that!! He is quite the entertainer and really knew how to get the most out of the crowd! Seems like a genuine guy who really appreciates the whole package!! His band was amazing as well!! Definitely a bucket list concert!!
