Concert Stories #2: Garth Brooks

My actual concert stub from almost 23 years ago!

#2

Garth Brooks

Opener: Martina McBride

Wisconsin State Fair

August 14, 1992

Age 9

My earliest memories of the music I really really loved were Garth Brooks and Mariah Carey.  I have yet to see Mariah in concert but I got to see Garth Brooks play the Wisconsin State Fair in 1992.  Apparently Martina McBride was one of his openers and I will tell you that I love her so much yet I don’t remember her performance at all.  I do, however, remember Garth.  I went with my parents and another family we were friends with.  We sat in the bleachers, up near the top in the corner, far far away.  Luckily, with the way Garth Brooks performs, every seat is a great seat.  He had such energy and it was electric!  He ran around the stage, climbed up the side of the stage, and was so exciting to watch.  I hope I get to see him again in my lifetime, to this day The River is one of my top 10 favorite songs.  That night was such a beautiful memory of happy moments with my family.

p.s. Do you see the price on the ticket?  $14.00 to see Garth Brooks?! Such a deal!
