Garth Live from Central Park

After establishing his dominance over the country music sphere, Garth Brooks decided to take a bit of a risk by bringing his show to New York City (Central Park, to be exact). Boy, did that "gamble" pay off big!

In terms of overall electricity, this show was probably Garth's best. The audience is incredible, Garth's energy isn't lacking, and guest stars Billy Joel and Don McLean only add to the excitement.

About the only down side to the tape is that, for the first time, Garth's vocals leave a little bit to be desired. Maybe this show was more truly "live" than his other television concerts, or maybe his pudginess was finally catching up to him a bit, but either way there was a bit of huffing-and- puffing heard through the microphone as he commenced with his crazy antics. However, there are still enough strong vocal moments to keep the show from turning sour.

Overall, this experience is Garth Brooks at his popularity peak, and it shows. Every song is worthwhile, and there isn't a dull moment (the pacing on this set is probably the best of his career). Enjoy!

This is a fantastic concert, although the video quality I've seen isn't great. I've also seen two different videos. One may have been actually live and the other probably a TV production with a different sequence of songs and guest performances. Either way. This concert is very unique and must watch!

I'd be interested to learn if this concert video is available to purchase in HD. If so, please send me a message and let me know.

This is by far Garth's best ever live concert.

This energy outnumbers any other concert, by him and any other performer. It has the best collection right up to Fresh Horses. The way the crowd worked with him was just pure magic. And his band, they were excellent.

From the opening to the end, it is packed full of fun and excitement, as good as the best action film i have ever seen. The set up was excellent and the performance was one of a kind, as Garth always is. And the duets with Don Mclean and Billy Joel just topped the night off.

You will never seen anything like this again.

This was the ultimate Garth Brooks fan's dream-a free live performance in Central Park. Garth gave a good showing in it, and I loved his performances of all his classic songs, such as "Unanswered Prayers, "The Dance," and "Friends in Low Places." While there weren't any of the high-kinetic, ultra-energetic stage movements usually reserved for the arena shows Garth gives, it was still worth the video purchase. Garth's performance was terrific, and the audience members obviously loved it as they sang along with all of his songs. You will find yourself doing the same.

**** out of ****

This concert is the most energetic I have ever seen. I specially liked the duo with Billy Joel.

Garth is unbelievable alive and kickin', flirting with his audience. Superb!
