1:31
the people sing in the pulver of come along to garth
1:34
brooks this a d line dance know
1:37
draw the line there to organise more
1:39
know like it was just like the jukebox
1:41
be plane or a band of a command and
1:43
they just play a car through songs
1:45
standing outside the fire or friends
1:47
and know places are the sondra rose and he does
1:50
he pick up on us and like to be honest
1:52
when i would go first sight you
1:55
know that it was garth brooks how
1:57
to retain the younger to be
1:59
honest
1:59
that you never really
2:02
the forefront of your mind or anything and
2:05
then i heard oh he's coming to dublin he's still
2:07
touring oh sure i'll get tickets most
2:09
get tickets are the gates or councils and
2:12
know eight years later his bicycle the
2:14
recent all on your phone is valerie
2:16
i'm a fan and i'm fc stones that
2:19
band thought he was dead which is a day
2:21
of the about us as much as is a relatively surprised
2:23
to see the i know that know i'm
2:26
i'm wondering is a part of the appeal actually because
2:28
it's like he's a prem person from another time
2:30
put yet he still a
2:32
there any still running around the place and would
2:34
his jacket on and you know see imagine
2:36
he's going to be crowdsurfing like he he he in
2:39
some of his videos am post that's
2:41
amazing to me i was wondering some look up and here need
2:43
up so young that you're wondering how does even know
2:45
who garth brooks is air but that just shows
2:47
you how much either
2:48
the word over over the years i expect
2:50
event have a story about his parents for for
2:52
yeah music a homeless or that and the said it comes
2:54
out of the public yeah serve as a
2:57
rural pa by take it as us just bf
2:59
yet know yourself in town has a snowing
3:01
cast the read after elements okay like
3:04
annie is a pub so like even still
3:06
like the last
3:08
christmas the were out his friend in low places
3:11
would come on and people be dancing on the table
3:13
see as as soon as customer service
3:15
apparently of all the tickets sold only
3:17
fifteen percent of been sold with
3:19
in dublin this is the great rural
3:21
movements of ireland into dublin this
3:24
weekend to next weekend is an hour hour
3:26
and and final weekend but you could say the should
3:28
be a hurling finalists weekend for that's a long story
3:30
boss
3:30
yeah so eighty five percent than or from outside
3:32
of of the capital us i always a does
3:35
a garth brooks isn't a ones right side detailed
3:37
step outside the pale garth brooks has been
3:39
huge for decades and i was thinking that maybe
3:41
of that eighty five percent probably ninety percent
3:43
of that eighty five or an awfully because i would imagine
3:46
thus they midlands if you take that stuff
3:48
stretch just as i did of and like i'm from west wicklow
3:51
eg each his air a border so
3:53
all the way over there i mean garth brooks was
3:55
on the radio i in our house everywhere
3:58
for years his album was number one
3:59
for for weeks and weeks and sixteen or eighteen
4:02
weeks
4:02
but actually the reason i came across guards was
4:04
a completely different way i was into things
4:06
like nirvana when those albums come as i remember
4:08
these garth brooks album's coming out by the way
4:11
i know all of them but i would suggest that may
4:13
be the four hundred thousand two are going most
4:15
of them would be best of the best of garth
4:17
brooks fans but the so i was the i was
4:19
around when those album came out my sister love them
4:21
she's big country music fan i was thinking oh
4:23
no i'm listening save net remind by nirvana
4:26
and then
4:27
i route was really into an album by billy
4:29
joel calls and composite storm
4:31
front and discipline britain songs on
4:33
usc ago
4:34
the extreme and all this kinda stuff we didn't start
4:36
far
4:36
but with a great song in a cold shameless
4:39
and actually the turns isis of me and me and guards
4:41
of uncommon he's a big bellies well farm and he
4:43
covered shameless and i love shameless and
4:45
it made me once listen to his other songs and
4:47
actually be listened to his songs are songs
4:50
like what you would get an irish traditional music
4:52
you know it's all about work in man and the
4:54
ordinary person than the rebels use a bit different
4:57
and standing outside the fire
4:58
the letter uplifting the relays
5:00
herbal and i think they're unit
5:01
in i think that's really what he's about for just
5:04
to add to those tickets statistics that
5:06
fifteen percent of tickets sold in dublin
5:08
i'm one of those sinatra his whole country
5:10
for what i love with know that yeah i
5:12
five or six i've been i've been told her to stop
5:14
in such a condescending city dweller
5:17
garth brooks is popular all over the world
5:19
in rural and sprawling urban centers
5:21
for one in three people the monarch or
5:23
yeah well i mean of the the know that he's definitely
5:25
the my daughter from fifteen thousand
5:27
tickets for sold mana
5:29
but it's not snobby it's just a fact he there
5:31
is a rural area divide i mean in america is
5:33
worth saying that he's the biggest sales of a solo artist
5:36
of all the i'm is garth brooks but again
5:38
i can't see them being in san francisco or new york city
5:41
he is he's more relays will because his life is
5:43
about things that people you know addicted
5:45
the ordinary man the ordinary person that his
5:47
whole appeal he's in every man and
5:49
he told myself that affects all of us families
5:52
marriage greece death partying
5:55
drinking something you know it's it's
5:57
it's it's all i think
5:58
i'm hadn't seen him play like i
6:00
actually got to see him once back in
6:02
nineteen ninety four i think he did eight nights indeed
6:05
of a zen the a the point apple yeah eat
6:07
and i was there one night everyone has their cigarette
6:09
lighters those add to do the ice
6:11
which i presume they'll do tonight and the dark with our
6:14
mobile phones now rather than cigarette lighter
6:16
yeah i wasn't there i'd but margin members
6:18
of my how many were there i was right it took me awhile
6:20
to learn to admit like garth brooks
6:22
because he doesn't have that sort a cool
6:25
if you're in if you think you're all into music but he's actually
6:27
brilliant songwriter he's a brilliant performer
6:29
and is brilliant singer
6:31
hey you're not wrong about the know sentence
6:33

6:55
on his head he i'm at a loss what they are did it with
6:57
