I love when this happens.

Not that anyone probably cares much, but here's the full selist from the Garth Brooks concert last week:

Ain't Goin' Down ('Til the Sun Comes Up)
Rodeo
Two Piña Coladas
People Loving People
That Summer
The Thunder Rolls
The River (Garth Brooks solo acoustic)
Papa Loved Mama
In Another's Eyes (with Trisha Yearwood)

Trisha Yearwood set:
When Will I Be Loved? (Linda Ronstadt cover)
How Do I Live
She's in Love With the Boy

Garth again:
Shameless
Callin' Baton Rouge
Friends in Low Places
The Dance

Encore:
Standing Outside the Fire

Encore 2 (Garth solo acoustic):
She's Every Woman
Make You Feel My Love (Bob Dylan cover)
Wrapped Up in You
Piano Man(Billy Joel cover)

How does he not close with Friends in low places?

Man, when you're a relative non-fan and you see a list like that, it really hits you how many impactful songs that guy had.

I don't know a single one of those songs.

That's because you don't live in the United States, where that list of songs is arguably the most influential, paradigm-shifting canon of music of the last 30 years.

Double post. But a serious one!

Right!

I figured he'd close with The Dance. That's sort of his Yellow Ledbetter. I was shocked that we got more after that. Also, Friends in Low Places was especially awesome because it started pouring rain. Like, on que! It was amazing. Special moment that I won't likely forget any time soon.

I was about to put the same. Never ever heard a song by that guy.
Joey, if you buy a Ayer movie, ill buy a Garth Brooks cd.

I mean i will have to travel to the us, because they dont exist anywhere else...

It's astounding. That's only like a third of them, too.

There's no We Shall Be Free, Unanswered Prayers, What She's Doing Now, You Move Me, If Tomorrow Never Comes, AMHBA, or Much Too Young to Feel This Damn Old.

Unreal.

He could have easily played a five hour set.

God, I love you so much.

NOT EVEN TO MAKE YOU FEEL MY LOVE OR PIANO MAN

Yes to "Piano Man", no to "Make You Feel My Love"

Piano man is the only song I recognize

Youre lying if you dont know this song:

That song is a. Absolutely terrible and b. Not on the set list.

I think it's from Time Out of Mind. But honestly, I was familiar with Garth's version before Dylan's original. Lovely, romantic, summer evening and fireflies and chilled wine kinda song.

It is on the setlist, Tommy.

Wrong on both counts, Thomas MtCom.
