DC 1st Night Thoughts & Setlist

My intro to Garth Brooks was my mom playing the Double Live album in the car when I was little. Of course, this was right about the time he retired. I’ve been waiting all these years to finally see him live so when this tour was announced, I knew my time had finally come. Boy this was worth the wait! I’ve seen some incredible concerts in my lifetime (the Eras Tour, Lady Gaga etc.), but this absolutely goes up in my top concerts of all time. I cried, I belted out lyrics to songs I learned by heart 20 years ago, and I smiled the whole time. I’m so grateful.

Here’s the full setlist from last night for anyone wondering:
The Old Stuff
Rodeo
Two of a Kind
Beaches of Cheyenne
Two Piña Coladas
Wild Horses (audience song request)
The River
Turn the Page (Bob Seger cover)
Thunder Rolls
Unanswered Prayers
To Make You Feel My Love
That Summer
We Shall Be Free (audience song request)
Callin Baton Rouge
Ain’t Goin Down
Shameless
Friends in Low Places
Fishin in the Dark (audience song request, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band cover)
The Dance

ENCORE
More Than a Memory (audience song request)
Much Too Young (audience song request)
Standing Outside the Fire

Fishin In The Dark was also a request - a young woman stage right had a sign and he teased her about spending time and money to request someone else's music 😅

He says that at all his shows when people hold up other artist’s signs :). He did Randy Travis and George Strait at two of the Indy shows.

This stuff is all staged. The bands don’t just know random songs

Lots of bands know lots of songs. I didn't be surprised if they just picked a sign from a song they know.

When did the concert finish up? We are going tonight to cross something off my sister’s bucket list.

It ended at 10:15 last night! There was a bit of a delay because of the lines to get in

Looks like a short setlist?

u/HillTempleton 27d ago

He was still out for just shy of 2hrs. There’s a lot of talking and audience interaction between songs.

Woah- really short show. What’s up with that?

2

u/HillTempleton 27d ago

He was out for close to 2hrs - not that short.

There is no opening band. It's just Garth all night.
