Brooks Irish shows in jeopardy
The concerts were slated to start July 25. Concerts on July 25-27 can go ahead, but the shows on July 28 and 29 are in jeopardy.
Concert promoter Peter Aiken was quoted as saying "it is up in the air" whether any of the five shows will occur at the GAA headquarters after the Dublin City Council voted to give a license to three of the five shows. Apparently issues exist about how many shows are slowed at the stadium each year.
Brooks quickly sold out the shows with 400,000 tickets gobbled up by the public. The shows were to be the first since Brooks announced he was coming out of touring retirement.
The paper quoted Aiken," "I can't say for definite that the three shows are definitely going to happen now. It is up in the air. I am devastated."
Aiken said Brooks told him, "give me a solution. Tell me what to do about those 160,000 people."

The high points for Brooks are the three most traditional country songs - a couple of honky tonkers ("Honky-Tonk Somewhere" and "Cowboys and Friends") and a ballad ("Whiskey to Wine"). ...
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 ...
Garth Brooks is back with his first release of "new" material since 2001's "Scarecrow." (Truth in advertising, his "The Ultimate Hits," which actually is part of the new box set, included four new songs back in 2007). 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. ...
