Garth at Wynn Las Vegas

Garth tried to be too much a comedian & not as much a multi-​platinum singer. Even the most experienced comics become boring after an hour or so…
Enjoyed the history of his influences, but dragged out too much. Would have preferred more Garth songs instead. Also, missed the band. Cutting costs? Guitar seemed to be too loud & sometimes overshadowed his singing.
Too many references to word ‘people’ & too much back & forth walking on stage.
Good news is he still has a voice. And, IF he gets back to being an entertainer of the year singing performer, I would pay to see him. However… if he’s launching a new career in comedy & pub style venues, I will stick to the locals for a much lower price.

Just. Not. Good.
This show is not closed, by the way. He has been performing sporadically this year. «Final» show is tonight (Praise Science).
This show just stinks. Everything about it is terrible. And because of the pricepoint, it is actually worse than CeeLo’s shameful Loberace debacle.
Let me just establish that I love live music. Love it. Absolutely love it.
Everyone that knows me knows this. I will go hear anyone, anywhere. I must say that I have yet to hear a polka artist do their thing, but now that I have thought about it, I am already loosely planning to. I have heard the Jonas Brothers. (Enough said.)
I went to Celine’s show and liked it. (Fuck off.)
A couple of things about my process. (You may find this strange.) I go to a ton of live shows, but I do not — absolutely do not — listen to studio recordings of an artist before having heard them perform live in concert. I just don’t. I do not want to.
Now, I do not think I have yet to hear this asshole’s music, being that he played none of it during the show. 500 $: down the drain.
You know where one can hear more of Garth Brooks music performed live … I mean, it certainly is absolutely not at «Garth: Live from Las Vegas.» Care to guess? At a fucking tribute matinée show called Country Superstars. I just saved you five hundred bucks.
Worst. Spent. Money. (Ever.) This show absolutely sucks!
You know … I am all about the artist doing whatever the fuck they want. It is their gig. Do whatever you want. Fuck, I went to hear (if you can call it that) Sly Stone perform live. He played the same amount of music as Garth does here and he happens to be seriously mentally ill (rambling about his shoes for minutes at length).
Let me be clear: this guy does not actually play any music — which is fine with me (dude should do what he wants) — but, instead tells dumb ass stories that only his most hardcore fans would care to hear and plays ten second snippets of other artists’ songs while you sit with bewilderment explicitly showing on your face at having spent 500 $ on this bullshit. This is not a concert; it is a social experiment to produce supporting evidence showing how fucking imbecilic country music fanatics are. One star.
R.I.P. Johnny Cash. — E
Postscript. The time it will took you to read this — if you choose to in its entirety — is more time than Garth actually spent performing his own fucking music on stage.

Well I have always wanted to see Garth Brooks and I paid 1200 dollars for two tickets to see him. We sat in the back at that. 5 minutes into the show I was not happy because I realized that his band was not there and he was singing Meryl Haggard and George Jones songs. I did not go to see him perform other peoples music. After 15 minutes of the show I lightened up and realized that this was not a bad show after all. A half hour into the show I realized this was the best concert that I had ever attended, I hated for it to end. Sitting all the way in the back I still felt close to Garth Brooks. My wife cried when he did the Dance and I sat in awe the whole time. Garth did a great job and I would pay 1200 to see him again. But I will get tickets earlier next time because they only cost 200. I had to buy them from Stub Hub which is more expensive. Deserves 6 stars
Not good for kids under 13 has some cussing in it. But now a days parents let their kids go to just about anything anyway. He does not use the F word and mostly says Damn and S###

AWESOME concert. I’m glad we went on the last weekend or else we would’ve missed an awesome performance. Thank you Garth. It was a night to remember.

I was in High School when I was first introduced to country music in the early 90’s. Growing up in urban surroundings it was usually hip/​hop and rap.
I loved me some Garth Brooks sounds. Didn’t get a chance to ever see him in concert and I just couldn’t fathom paying that much to see him in a big venue where most likely I’ll be seeing him from a television screen.
I got to see him this past weekend, one of his last four shows as a birthday present from my boyfriend, who had to find tickets via the web. I was seating in the last row at the last seat and I still see Garth’s face. 99.9% of the audinnce was causaian, with the exception of Darius Rucker, I’m not sure too many African Americans like Country or would confess to liking. I mean Nelly and Tim McGraw? You’ll never here Nelly actually admit that, but he did colloborate withone the biggest country stars there.
However, I’m sure I confused some folks walking in with my hair braided in cornrows looking hispanic and underage.
Anyhow, back to my review. I’m glad I waited this long to see Garth in this type of venue. It was him, a guitar, and stool, and two bottles of water.
It is a show about a mans journey into the country music business and the influences that help shaped his music. Some reviews complained it wasn’t a big show like his tours but preferred this. Maybe he doesn’t play all 177 songs, but he is very versatile in the songs he covers, which is how most singers start. He has some very funny insight to the music of the 60’s and 70s. And if you are lucky, you’ll get a special surprise of Trisha Yearwood performing. They both have a great banter. It is a side to a performer that one rarely sees, the human side, they grew up much like us, listening to the same music, sibling, rivarly, parent issues, etc. They just grew up and became famous, and we didn’t.
One of my criteria to see a music performer live is that they sound like they do on their CDs. For the most part, the country artists that I have seen live up to that.
At a recent 50 years old, Garth still does. If you can get tickets to his last few shows, I’d highly recommend it.

I have always thought that my husband and I are the cutest couple in the entire universe. Garth Brooks and Tricia Yearwood are a VERY VERY close second. Ohmygosh, they are adorable.
I have lived in Vegas for almost 2 years, and never had any desire to see the Garth show. I like country, but I am not a die hard fan or anything. The only reason that I went was because a friend from LA had purchased tickets and couldn’t go so he gave them to my husband and I since we were LV locals. I now regret not watching him sooner. The show truly is amazing.
I have been to a Garth Brooks concert before, and this is NOT a concert. There is no band, no crazy light show, no pyrotechnics. Only a simple stage and a guitar. It is such an intimate setting that I felt like we were just hanging out with Garth and he was telling us stories from his childhood, telling us about the music and artists that influenced his own music. I swear that we made eye contact at least 10 times– and of course, I swooned.
I always knew he was talented, but never really understood HOW talented. His guitar strumming skills, his amazing voice, and his stage presence had me mesmerized. I felt like I had a silly grin the entire time. At one point, when I actually took my eyes off of Garth to look at my hip hop/​rap/​techno fan of a husband, I saw that he had that same silly grin. He was as enraptured as I.
***** If you haven’t seen his show yet, make reservations now. According to the website, there are ONLY 4 shows left. Seriously, stop reading this review and get ready for a one man show that you will NEVER forget. In fact, I may just have to go again.

Checking this off the bucket list. Yes, I seriously have one and yes, seeing Garth was seriously on it.
This show is – like everyone has said — a one man show with a little help from the missus. It starts off with Garth Brooks kind of acting like Tom Cruise when he was on Oprah and jumped up on that couch. Kind of a maniac. But he quickly settles in to delivering an awesome show that I would imagine is great even for non Country fans. I freaking love Country so I cannot really comment on that.
At first, I was trepiditious because he was telling some great stories but not playing a lot of music. That quickly changes and the appearance by Trisha Yearwood was great. Her voice is better live than on the radio. Amazing. And there is an easy love between these two. Not to sound too cheese whiz, but you can tell they truly love each other and it was really cute to see them together. I also really liked how the show is set up as Garth Brooks’ life story through music. I have always been a Garth Brooks fan but was really shocked to see just how charming he is even when he isn’t singing but just talking to the audience. Highly entertaining and I would recommend this show to anyone looking for a unique Las Vegas show and a fun night. One word of caution: Once you get Friends in Low Places in your head, it never leaves. You’ve been warned!

While I do see what the people with the lower star ratings are talking about, no question this man is amazingly talented. I was expecting a band, cowboy hat, some running around, maybe even some flying, so if this is what you are thinking, it couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s a one man operation, which I’m sure Mr. Wynn and Garth LOVE. I’m glad I saw it, it was entertaining, but if I wanted to hear other people sing Garth Brooks songs very loudly I would go to a bar.

I crossed «See Garth Brooks In Concert» off my bucket list the other night and if all it set the bar for all my other bucket list items. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity that I am so ecstatic that I was able to see him. I’ve been a Garth fan since 1989 and was on the edge of my seat for the entire show. He’s such a charismatic person and if he ever started a random church, I would be the first in line to drink the Kool-​Aid.
We were in the Mezzanine level and it was perfect. I don’t think there is a bad seat in the house. The theater only seats 1500. He talks about his family and musical influences and transitions into his own music. It was an unbelievable, unforgettable amazing show. It was worth every penny we spent on tickets.

Ah-​Ma-​Zing!!! Anyone who gives Garth Brooks’ show lower than 5 stars need to be kicked off Unilocal.
I’m not a country music fan. I honestly couldn’t name one Garth Brooks song before this show. All I knew about the man was that he’s a legend. So when the legend walked on stage to introduce himself, and the woman beside me started to bawl, I started to feel goosebumps all over me (in a good way). And when the legend strummed his guitar and sang his first note, a small part of hip hop in me died and fell in love with country.

This one’s hard to review for me. I’m neither a country music fan nor a Garth Brooks fan, but I was utterly entertained by this show.
I saw the show last Friday with my mom. I was really there just for her. She was excited to see him, so I obliged by being her date for the evening. The show began promptly at 10:30, which I’m a big fan of. I hate when artists keep me waiting. Garth takes the stage and it’s basically a one man show with him reminiscing and reliving his musical influences and history. I think that’s the most amazing part of the show. There are no special effects or even back up orchestra. It’s just a man and his guitar.
He begins his musical journey discussing his family and the first musical influences he had. They were surprisingly diverse and his stories were filled with lots of humor, warmth and nostalgia. He would sing bits and pieces of songs from his past and hearing his take on them was incredibly interesting. He also incorporated his own music into this journey as well, as I’m sure most would hope.
This show would only work with an enigmatic and personable celebrity such as Brooks and I think he found the perfect blend of storytelling and music to keep the audience enthralled. I definitely didn’t know what to expect with Garth, but I can only say that I was truly entertained by his show.

Un.Be.Lievable. Wow. I am almost at a loss for words to describe how amazing this show is.
First off, the venue. Perfect size intimate theater, not a bad seat in the house. We were in row M, felt like eye level with Garth.
Second, a legend and his acoustic guitar. That is all. Some lights and a little fog, but what more could you ask for. An inviting, humorous look at the musical influences and personal stories that shaped a Country Music legend. I lost track of time, but I think there were about 90 minutes of pure Garth bliss. Garth is an amazing story teller, vocalist and song writer. If you love music, and not just Country music, and you appreciate the artistry of music, song writing and performance, or if you just LOVE GARTH BROOKS, this show will enrapture you and draw you in. I couldn’t blink.
I never had the fortune of seeing Garth Brooks perform live before he «retired.» I’m so glad I had this opportunity to see him. It was a once in a life time experience. Hands down the best show I’ve ever seen. Worth every penny and I will now start saving to take my parents. They need to see this too.
Note to future show attendees: Turn off your phone. Just do it. We all paid a pretty penny for an experience that should not be ruined because you think you are too cool. The world can wait 90 minutes. Second: Shut up. Small venue means your voice travels further than you think. Whatever earth shattering things you have to say can wait, it’s probably useless chatter anyway, don’t ruin the experience for the people around you.
SEE THIS SHOW! You won’t be disappointed.

Cross it off my bucket list! I’m almost speechless at how much I loved this show. I laughed and cried. I think I sat stunned for the first 15 minutes in disbelief that I was there. He is a performer in every way. The combination of storytelling and musical talent was genius. He’s genius. Worth every penny (of my boyfriend’s); it was the perfect birthday gift.
I had to giggle when I saw so many people taking photos of what they thought was Garth’s guitar, eventhough there’s a strict no camera/​cell phone policy. Right before the show starts, the guitar is switched out. You got photos of nothing :).

I am no NASCAR loving’, Ford F150 driving, Wrangler wearing cowboy… But, boy, let me tell you, for almost three hours you could have fooled me. Any true music fan would be a liar if they said this man isn’t talented. And, he is a great story teller to boot!
The better half is a country lover, so I surprised her with a Vegas weekend and this concert. The show was so entertaining and Garth takes you through his musical upbringing and talks about all the musicians that impacted him, including playing their songs. So, really this is a trip down memory lane with the second half of the show truly focused on his stuff. He even brings the house lights up and takes requests from the audience.
I would encourage anyone with a chance to see this show to do it. Don’t worry, you don’t have to buy the pickup until after your third show…

Holy smokes! This was the greatest concert I have ever been too. It’s Garth and his guitar, that’s it. That’s what makes it so great. He spends a little over an hour going through the decades he grew up in and the music that influenced him. He covers many songs from the artists that influenced his music. He also will play parts of most of his songs.
The greatest parts about this show were when Trisha Yearwood came out to perform In Another’s Eyes with Garth and then Walk Away Joe by herself. Then after that he brought up the lights and took requests and questions from the audience. We were setting 4^th row which was unbelievable, but there really isn’t a bad seat in the place. He ended the performance with everyone singing along with him, Friends and Low Places with the extended verse. Over 2 hours long and well worth the $ 250 a ticket.
If you love Garth Brooks then you won’t be disappointed.

Phenomenal. Incredible. Exceptional. Unbelievable. Awesome. Extraordinary.
I came out of the womb singing Garth Brooks. I know all of his music and I can die happy now that I have seen him. My boyfriend and I came to Vegas the first weekend of October to see him and I could not have left any happier. My boyfriend isn’t much of a country music fan but still loved the show.
Garth is still Garth, just him and his guitar but on a show that can not even be explained. He told stories about growing up and was funny as all get out. It was such an intimate setting, you almost feel like he’s talking to you and only you!
He sang Simon and Garfunkel, George Jones, Bob Seger, Merle Haggard, George Strait and so many others! And you can’t forget about all of your Garth Brooks favorites!!!
This is a show you have to see to believe and understand what a great performer he is.
P U R E L Y A M A Z I N G

Not even a huge country music fan, but what a show! This isnt a typical concert, just Garth and his guitar. I had read the reviews and was aware of this going in. But what suprised me was his showmanship and ability to connect with his audience. He has obviously fine tuned his act as it just came across as a seemless performance.
I love how he covered music from each decade. He covered Simon and Garfunkel, Don McLean, Bob Segar (a HUGE personal fave), Randy Travis, George Jones, and many, many more and threw in a few of his own songs here and there (Thunder Rolls, Much Too Young, two of A Kind, Friends in Low Places, etc)
I had thought many people here may have exagerated a bit on their reviews, but I was wrong… very wrong.
In-​cred-​ible Show. Hats off to you, Garth!

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.
Going 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.
The 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.
When 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.
It 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.
And 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!

5 STARS!
The douche who gave one star is a loser. Let me explain.
I left the show feeling I really got to know Garth Brooks. It was just him on stage with an acoustic guitar and no band. He was more than casual. Jeans, construction boots, hoodie and cap. He played maybe twelve of his own songs and told stories and jokes and ran through the decades. All while talking about the songs that he and his family used to listen to that left a footprint in his heart. It was kind of like «Storytellers» on VH1. He played more than 20 covers, and told a story about each, loaded with great funny punchlines. He talked a lot about his mom and dad and their influences. He also swore like a sailor. Covers included George Jones, Merle Haggard, Simon & Garfunkel, Cat Stevens, Jim Croce, James Taylor, Bob Seger — on and on. Many more. All in a timeline from the 60’s thru the 90’s.
As a topper, he brought out his wife, Trisha Yearwood out for a duet.
The security was HARDCORE about no cameras and phones. I watched them boot someone.
If you go: just remember that it’s not a «concert», it’s a Vegas show. And Garth is there to entertain you. And that he did.

Simply awesome! Garth is the greatest entertainer alive. Was it worth the $ 140 per ticket? I would have paid twice that, probably more. Not only does he sing all the classics but a lot of songs that influenced him and his music. There is no band backing him up, it’s just the man and his guitar. It’s a very intimate show with only about 1,500 people in a small theater. His wife Trisha also performed with him at our show.
Just so everyone knows all of his shows run about 30 – 60 minutes long so be prepared to wait for awhile outside the theater if you have a late show after an earlier show. You will be rewarded though with extra time for your show. Don’t hesitate to buy tickets when they go on sale because they always sell out within a few hours.
