Garth Brooks concert chronology

The Garth Brooks World Tour was a concert tour by Americancountry music artistGarth Brooks. Launching in support of Brooks' albums,Fresh Horses (1995), and laterSevens (1997), the tour followed Brooks'1993–1994 tour and also featured appearances byTrisha Yearwood. The tour ran from March 12, 1996, to November 22, 1998, for a total of 344 concerts. Even though this was Brooks' final concert tour before his retirement in 2001, it drew record-breaking crowds in North America, two places in Ireland, and one place in South America, becoming the third-most attended concert tour of all time, as well as one of the decade'shighest-grossing concert tours.

Background and content

[edit]
Brooks and band performs in 1998 atFreedom Hall inLouisville, Kentucky.

After his first successfulworld tour, Brooks embarked on his second, covering many cities at random throughout the United States and Canada, with appearances in Ireland and Brazil. Initially launching to support Brooks' 1995 album,Fresh Horses, it also began to feature songs fromSevens, released in 1997. The concerts' outline evolved as the set lists changed throughout the tour. Each show began with smoke-filled entrance by Brooks, appearing via hydraulic lift through apiano as the opening notes of "The Old Stuff" were played.[1] Wearing a wireless microphone headset, Brooks proceeded to dance about the stage, performing a series of old and new songs. The high energy and pyrotechnics garnered comparison tohard rock performances by bands includingKiss, while still achieving a country atmosphere.[1] Following the release of Brooks' album,Sevens,Trisha Yearwood began making periodic appearances to perform duets, such as "In Another's Eyes".

Ticket sales and revenue

[edit]

Brooks' 1996–1998 world tour continued the tradition established by his first tour, selling each ticket for the same price ($20), regardless of location in the venue.[2] Because of this, demand was extremely high breaking many records worldwide, including arena ticket sales and attendance records. Concerts began selling out in minutes, resulting in such high demand that multiple shows were added for many cities.[1] Many of these ticket sales and attendance records were broken by Brooks once again on his2014 tour.

Despite each ticket costing well below the average ticket prices at the time, the tour managed to gross nearly $105 million worldwide, and is listed among thehighest-grossing concert tours in the 1990s.[2] Its total attendance, approximately 5.5 million, ranks fourth all-time (behindU2,Pink Floyd, andThe Rolling Stones).

Recordings

[edit]

Audio

[edit]

Portions of various concerts from the tour were recorded and released as alive album to coincide with the tour's conclusion. The two-disc release, calledDouble Live, went on to become the best-selling live album of all time, certified 23× Platinum by theRIAA, and is the seventh-most shipped album in United States music history.[3]

Video

Further information:Garth: Live from Central Park

The tour's concerts in New York City'sCentral Park andDublin'sCroke Park were filmed for later broadcasting.Garth: Live from Central Park was a free concert attended by 980,000 fans, the most-attended concert in the park's history. Paying homage toWoodstock, the concert was dubbed "Garthstock", featuring appearances byBilly Joel andDon McLean.[4] It was broadcast onHBO, receiving nearly 15 million live viewers, the most of any concert special that year, and it received sixEmmy Award nominations.[4]Garth Brooks: Ireland and Back, footage of the concert of May 16, 1997, was filmed and later broadcast onNBC with a live ending featuring Brooks performing songs from the newly releasedSevens fromBurbank, California, receiving 15.7 million viewers.[5] Both specials were included in Brooks'The Entertainer DVD collection, released in 2006, with the Dublin concert being renamed “Garth Brooks: Live in Ireland”. While the live ending was not a part of the main show, a couple songs from the segment were put in the Special Features.
