Trisha and the Hyper Dude

We were Garthed the other night. We scored tickets to the Garth Brooks Experience (Their Advertising). Garth is playing 7 shows in Tulsa and we went to the fifth.  It was great fun and he is totally hyper.  He sings almost 30 songs and has a techno stage worthy of U2.  Garth is one of the few entertainers that takes arena rock and combines it with country in a good way. 

There are acts like Jason Aldean that are backed by spiked-hair guitar player and a rock drummer. Jason wears a work hat , plaid shirt, and torn jeans to sing about getting drunk at bonfires.  Garth's band has seasoned players with fiddle, steel guitar, electric, keyboards, etc. and they can do rock, cowboy, country or slow ballads.

Now for the best country performance of just good country music, that would be George Strait. Garth is in the entertainment business: George on Steroids and LSD!

BUT: The best singer of the evening was Trisha Yearwood.  She truly has one of the top female voices in music. She only sung about four songs. I needed four more from her.
