Garth Brooks sells out nine shows
Sunday, October 7, 2007 – What started as a lone concert to celebrate the release of a greatest hits package will turn into nine shows for Garth Brooks.
Brooks' wife, Trisha Yearwood, will open the shows. She has a new disc coming out in November.
Tickets for a Nov. 14 date in Kansas City went on sale Saturday, and Brooks kept adding shows until reaching the maximum of nine. He could not add more concerts because of his schedule. The brand new venue holds about 18,000 people, but it was unclear how many tickets were sold.
Brooks now will give concerts starting Nov. 5. The shows continue through Nov. 14, with no show on Nov. 13. At first, the shows were also being done to thank Wal-Mart for their ties to each other and extra tickets were being sold to fans in a five-state area.
"The Ultimate Hits," which contains four new songs comes out Nov. 6 via Brooks' label, Pearl, and Big Machine.

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. ...
