Garth Brooks
National Exhibition Centre
Birmingham, UK
10th April 1994
Recorded by Soledriver
Someone asked for GB shows...this is the only one I ever recorded. Not my best sounding recording, but a good
representation of the show.
I saw the Wembley show too, but was with a large group of family and it seemed rude...
I queued to get tickets for Wembley as I was taking my two children, aged about 3 and 4 at the time
and wanted them to be up front...first one there, only to be told that I could only buy third row
becuse Brooks' management had a policy of choosing people with bad seats at the back of the hall
to come and sit in the front two rows. I had an exchange of e-mails with the promoter right up until the day of the show,
but to no avail. It wasn't so much the moving people forward that pissed me off, but that I knew that it wuld be
the blonde bimbo lookalikes who would be chosen...and I was 100% correct...the front row was full of them...
It probably did more than the decline in standards of his material to make me not bother again...
but they were a great rocking live act nevertheless and it was a shame that purists took against them for trying to bring
the genre of music into the modern age.There's no such thing as bad music...just stuff that you don't personally enjoy...
