Anyone Watch Friday's Garth Brooks Live from Las Vegas

Saw the show, it was good, not great, what was missing was the band. Purchased the cd regular price $24.95 down to $15.00 6 CDs plus 2 DVDs in the box.
"The set will have eight discs in all - six music CDs and two DVDs rather than the four CDs originally reported. There will be the four CDs of Garth covering songs from artists who influenced him, two CDs of his greatest hits, and two DVDs - one with footage from Garth's Las Vegas show and the other will contain 33 of Garth's music videos.

I don't know about the rest of you but I wouldn't sit and watch 33 music videos. Hell I was of age when MTV debuted and I never sat and watched videos. If I wanted music, I just turned on the radio or popped in a cassette.

I do believe Garth majored in marketing in college.
I did not care for it, if I had paid 150-200 bucks for this i would have been really pissed. All it was is a two hour
infomercial for his CD/DVD set only sang 30 seconds of any song until the end when he had the whole audience sing Friends in low places with a bunch of corny jokes throw in.

I enjoyed him doing other artists songs, but I also would be pissed if I came to hear GB songs.
It seems that Garth Brooks stopped touring 10 years ago or so because he got sick of it. That's fine, that's his right.

But that was what he was best at. It's what people most liked about him as an entertainer.

With this show, it seems he wanted to be a different kind of entertainer. Like a comedian maybe, or a motivational speaker. And if people like that, so be it. But I don't think it's what he's best at.

Look at it this way: if the guy on stage wasn't Garth Brooks, but a nobody with a guitar who wanted to sincerely and enthusiastically talk about all the cool artists he and his parents enjoyed, would you really find that show compelling? Me neither.
