Kurt’s Blog: Welcome Back Garth Brooks!

Welcome to Des Moines to our newest Central Iowa resident….Mr. Garth Brooks.

It’s been 23 years…23 years ago, I think I had stepped foot in Iowa maybe once or twice. 23 years ago, I was driving on a driver’s permit….23 years ago…I was still playing football. 23 years ago…I had never dreamt I would have gone bald.

Now here we are…ready to enjoy 6…6!!!!  nights of Garth Brooks.

I’ve seen Garth & Trisha once…and it was incredible….and absolutely can not wait for them to take the stage tonight (I say tonight, but I must await another 24 hours…we’re going Saturday night).

I can’t wait for Facebook and Instagram tonight to be filled with pics of all of us celebrating Garth…pics of friends…pics of strangers…just so happy to have Garth Brooks back here in Central Iowa. Share those pics…share the videos of Wells Fargo Arena singing out every note of Friends in Low Places.

Top 10 Garth Brooks songs:

  1. Callin’ Baton Rouge 

2. The Rodeo

3. The Dance

4. Friends in Low Places

5. Standing Outside the Fire

6. Thunder Rolls 

7. Unanswered Prayers

8. Ain’t Goin’ Down (’til the Sun Comes Up)

9. If Tomorrow Never Comes

10. The River

Go enjoy some food & brews at Boots and Brews before the shows…and have a great time…oh ,and there will be chances every hour to win tickets in a suite to see Garth Brooks. Can’t beat that!

Note: Oh, and I will lose myself in the moment when Trisha Yearwood sings “How Do I Live”…yes…because I’m a sappy, sappy, sappy  man 🙂

AWESOME is as AWESOME does!
