Garth Brooks concert chronology |
The Garth Brooks World Tour (1993–94) was a concert tour by American country pop artist Garth Brooks. Spanning ten countries in less than two years, it was Brooks' most travelled tour to date, and his third concert tour. It launched in support of his 1993 album, In Pieces, and visited many cities throughout North America, Europe, Oceania, and South America.
Show content
Each concert began with Brooks rising from behind the drum kit, performing "Standing Outside the Fire" with fire pyrotechnics engulfing the stage. Many other special effects were used in the concert, including thunder and rain during "The Thunder Rolls", not common to more traditional country concerts.[1] The encore performance of "Ain't Goin' Down ('Til the Sun Comes Up)", featuring Brooks flying about the venue on a specially modified trapeze mechanism, has become a staple of Brooks' live performances.[2]
Recordings
The tour's September 24, 1993 concert at Texas Stadium in Dallas was recorded and broadcast on NBC, titled This is Garth Brooks, Too! (a follow-up to Brooks' 1992 televised concert).[1] It was later included in Brooks' The Entertainer DVD collection, released in 2006.
