This was the perfect show. And that's coming from someone who is not even really a Garth Brooks or country music fan. But I would go again without hesitation. And this is hands-down one of the best shows I have been to in Vegas.\n\nGoing into the show, I didn't really know quite what to expect. I just knew that Garth Brooks is a pretty key figure in country music and that he seemed like someone I really needed to see live. And what I saw and heard was very far from anything that I was even slightly expecting - in the best way possible.\n\nThe theater was perfect - and again, not what I was expecting. It was very small and simple. And similar to the Pearl, it was built up, not out - so there really isn't a bad seat in the place. It just felt so intimate.\n\nWhen it was time for the show to start (and I hadn't read anything about the show going into it), I almost felt a little confused. Where was the drum set? Where was the keyboard? Where were all of the musicians? But out walked Garth (who was easily mistaken for a guitar tech at first) in faded jeans, hoodie, baseball cap, and construction boots. It was just casual Garth, a stool, and a guitar. No fancy costumes, no flashy lights, etc. It was just stripped down and perfect.\n\nIt was almost like being in the audience for an episode of VH1 Storytellers. Garth started off by basically telling the story of his life through music - songs he could remember hearing that really stuck with him, a song his father always played while driving in the car, albums his older brothers always blasted, etc. He would tell all of the stories and then play parts of those songs. He was so funny and genuine.\n\nAnd then he got to the part of his life that was his own musical career. He interacted a lot with the audience, occasionally took requests, brought out Trisha Yearwood and sang with her, and basically did all of the songs he's known for. I literally both laughed and cried. It was an amazing experience!
