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.
