Random memories from the concert:
1. The man two rows directly in front of us proposed to his girlfriend during "Unanswered Prayers" (she accepted)
2. In the melee on the way out an older woman tripped and fell in the street, dropping the contents of her purse. I stopped to help her, handing back a wad of twenties that had fallen. Despite there being officers all around, not one stopped to check on her, and it was a nasty fall.
3. We parked on the top floor of the Hyatt and were hustling to get out before the crowd boxed us in the garage for an hour. We got lucky and caught the elevator. As the doors were closing a woman ran for it, asking us to please hold the doors. Not one person in the elevator, including myself, so much as twitched to help her and the door shut almost on her nose. "Well, that wasn't very sportsmanlike of us," I said, getting a laugh from everyone
4. Judging by the (lack of) length on many of the skirts at the venue, I should go to more country concerts.
5. The backup singer clearly outdid Trisha when she sang part of "Georgia Rain", which Yearwood humorously acknowledged.
6. Very proud of Milwaukee for nailing the chorus to Yearwood's " How do I live". I think she was genuinely moved.
7. Gracious of Garth to acknowledge most folks came out for the classics, and even nicer for him to thank the crowd for "treating the new songs like they were the old songs."
8. I love the fact that Garth unabashedly adores the limelight and the affection of the crowd. LOVE IT.
9. Lisa didn't think he'd play "The River", and when he did her eyes lit up and from then she was into the concert 110%
Have I mentioned I love Garth Brooks?? lol
