The "man of country" was set to not only cut the ribbon at the Kansas City Sprint Center, but played a full live show for those in attendance with special guest star and wife Trisha Yearwood. But Brooks did not stop there. It has never been a secret that Brooks hates scalpers, so in order to cut down on ticket resales, Brooks has decided to charge a measly $32.50 for any seat in the venue. And on top of the great price, Brooks has gone one step further: When the show sold out in record time, Brooks continued to approve additional shows until he had nine performances scheduled, thus tying his own record for the most tickets sold in any one city of the U.S. (The entire set of performances sold out in 1 hour and 58 minutes, and all shows include tickets located behind the stage, where fans will not get to see Brooks, only hear him.) In addition to these nine dates, Brooks is also set to release a new three-disc set, featuring two discs of music (four never-released songs), as well as a DVD with videos for every song. This will be the first album released outside of the contract between Brooks and Wal-Mart in almost three years and is expected to be one of the best-selling albums of the year. One of the four new songs is the record- setting "More Than A Memory" (which debuted on the Billboard Country Chart at No. 1 - a first in Billboard history), which leads me to believe that Brooks has been sitting on these songs and waiting for the right moment to release them. All in all, I believe that with his daughter reaching the necessary age, Garth is in fact staging a slow comeback. Not wanting to jump back into things, the "man of country" is finally back - for the time being, at least. Friday's Show was an awesome sight, Lynn (my girlfriend) and I watched as Garth sang for more than two hours, loud and wild as any, including opening night. He opened with “The Fever,” as he has all week, and continued with more standards and favorites, like “The Thunder Rolls,” “We Shall Be Free,” “The River” and “Two Pina Coladas.” His show lasted about two hours and 15 minutes, and his set list comprised 20 songs, including his standard encore: a medley of oldies and favorites, like “American Pie,” which has become a favorite this week. Otherwise, there was more of the glorious same: floor-to-rafters sing-alongs. The most significant change in the show came halfway through. After Brooks and his wife, Trisha Yearwood, sang “In Another’s Eyes” he brought out one of his backup singers, Karyn Rochelle, to sing some background vocals. Brooks and the two ladies did a funny bit about threesomes, then they sang one of Yearwood’s biggest hits, which Rochelle helped write: “Georgia Rain.” He appreciated the vocal assistance, but, as it turns out, he didn’t really need it
