I am from the United Kingdom and a great fan of Garth Brooks as is my family. I had the pleasure of seeing Garth in October 1994 when he toured the UK and what a great show it was.
Well what can I say, this is a fantastic collection of DVD's, and as it is not available in the UK, when I saw it on Amazon.com I ordered it straight away. You have got four live concerts from the US and Ireland ranging from 1991 to 1997 and a disc of music videos from 1989-2005 with extras. If you are a true fan of Garth then this is a must buy to have in your collection, especially the music videos DVD.
Many CD/DVD/Box Sets releases by Garth have remained unreleased in the UK so I am so grateful to be able to purchase them through Amazon.

First of all, BUY it at Walmart for $20.00.....$39.00 here, c'mon.
I was NOT a fan of Garth's in his heyday, but, recently have purchased some of his work and grown to appreciate his music.

The NYC AND Ireland shows are the BEST here, with side interviews and an acoustic song or two. The packaging alone should get your attention. Go out and buy this, you can't go wrong.

Really enjoyed the music and the show. Garth is......what can I say. Garth.

This was a great find! It was used, but the DVDs' were untouched! I got it cheap and it was worth way more than I had to pay for it. The nice tim it came in helps me to keep them nice and it is very entertaining. Great buy!

This collection is a must have for every Garth Brookes fan's, I have waited years for the release of concert-DVD's with GB. Dispite there is 7 hours of entertainment in this box-set, it is disapointing that none of these 4 concert is full-length. On the DVD with the Ireland-concert there are two bonus-tracks from a more intimate(smaller audience) concert with GB,these tracks have a much better sound than the present stadium-concerts, could hope this concert could end up with a new DVD-release.

FIVE DVDs is really kinda too much.
Only one of them that I would play again and again.
The rest are just so-so. Some re-dos, etc.
I was disappointed with the sound quality.
Maybe I'm just spoiled by some others being so good.
But, some of the solo artist's performances
on guitars, horns, pianos, etc. was just disappointing.
It just doesn't stand out and hit you.
Sorta sounds like they are playing in another room.
Again, the performances are excellent.
But, if you are really INTO the "music",
you might also be just a little disappointed.

"The Entertainer" is one of the most complete box sets of its time. The quality of the video both sound and graphics are excellent. Its almost like you are there in concert. The purchase of the video was flawless. I had an expected ship date of two weeks. I actually received it within about 4 days to my great surprise. I definately recommend Amazon purchases and the companies affiliated with them. Thank you so much for a great experience.

Very happy with my purchase of this boxed set of Garth Brooks' concert DVD's. Being an Aussie, I found the Central Park concert filmed in 1997 very poignant with the New York skyline still having the twin towers and the "Freedom" banner between them. I had seen the Dublin concert on CMT some years ago and was thrilled to see it available on DVD. The rest has been a bonus, and great value, even with the postage cost from the US. Great service too, received here in less than 10 days.

The dvd product is great and the packaging is nice, but the interior cd/dvd holders are broken and the dvd's fall out whenever you open up the "book". It's not worth returning it over, but it will make me think twice before I order anything like this online again.Garth Brooks - The Entertainer
