Garth Brooks
Three shows at FedExForum. Sold out in under two hours.

Fourth show just added for Thursday, February 2nd.

Not a lot of acts who can sell tickets at a clip like that.

Last time in Memphis, I hear, was the 80s ... 3 shows in a row for Rick James w/Prince. Quite the contrast - haha.

Country music is amurica's music! Local bank dials it in here too, when it's not Christmas that is.

Right now it's elevator baby Jesus music.

Y'all got friends in low places.

So would that be three Pyramid shows?

FEF only seats 14k for concerts, right?

RE: Garth Brooks
Hey. Garth said Bob Dylan was the best songwriter that ever lived. I figure Garth just sold out to make a buck. lol. It's so fun to insult people!

But he's an all around sort of guy: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/gos...story.html

"Brooks, who didn’t endorse a candidate in the recent election, has a track record of red-versus-blue color-blindness. In 2010, he said about President Obama, "I love him to death and I fully support him and I just wish him well because it's got to be hell being in that office."

The next year, before performing at a Kennedy Center event in honor of former President George W. Bush, he expressed a broader philosophy."

Wow. Brad Carson just said Garth Brooks' team is thinking about more shows on top of the 4 they already have.

Saw him 2 years ago in Little Rock, and we're going to see him again here. My husband is more of a fan than I am, but he puts on a great show. If you have the chance to see him, do it.

Depends on the stage set up. Some acts that use the huge video boards as a back drop block off one end of the arena.

RE: Garth Brooks
I hear he's a good musician. Does he do any hard rockin/head bangin stuff? Some of us have angst that needs lettin loose, and a crooning country feller tends to skim the surface--not that there's anything wrong with that lol.

Lot's of my friends are going. I saw him back in the 90's and it was a great show. I think tickets were $20 back then. How times have changed.

RE: Garth Brooks
We have tickets for Saturday afternoon (not my first choice, but it'll be a good time). I'm not a huge Garth fan, but he puts on an incredible show. We saw him last year in Little Rock.

He's been scheduling 8 performances in some cities. He has room on his schedule for more performances in Memphis, if they'd like. It looks like the Forum is free until the 6th.

Supposedly there will be 6 shows total here once it's all said & done.
