Brooks goes on and on, and so does his schedule

Monday, February 22, 2010 – Two hours after finishing another show at the Encore Theater at Wynn in Las Vegas on Friday, Feb. 12, the lights came up, Garth Brooks went backstage to have dinner. Around 15 minutes later, a stagehand came back and told Brooks the audience was still there, standing like they were when he left the stage.

Brooks went out to check it himself, and the whole crowd was still standing. Brooks grabbed his guitar, walked back out on stage and played another 45 minutes. "I've never seen anything like it in my career," Brooks said.

CD review - Man Against Machine After releasing his debut album in 1989, Garth Brooks released music almost every year until he announced his retirement in 2000. Since then, he has released repackaged hit collections, new music on "Scarecrow" and "The Lost Sessions" and last year's cover song collection "Blame it All on My Roots." Over the years, there have been live recordings, concert and music video collections. The country songwriter became a pop culture icon, transcending genre to become ...
CD review - Blame It All On My Roots - Five Decades of Influences Garth Brooks is back with his first release of "new" material since 2001's "Scarecrow."

And it's quite an undertaking - four CDs of covers - Country Classics, Classic Rock, Blue-Eyed Soul and Melting Pot, an amalgam of country, rock, soul and folk; the two-CD set, "The Ultimate Set" and a DVD of his live performance in Vegas. ...
