Garth Rules Man! These Are His First 3 Videos. "If Tomorrow Never Comes" Which Became His First #1 Hit, "The Dance" Which Won A Video Of The Year Award In 1990, And "The Thunder Rolls".

I watched this video today called, "Garth Brooks" & it was a good movie.

It had three videos including The Dance, If Tomorrow Never Comes & The Thunder Rolls. In the video "The Dance" it had dead people including John F. Kennedy, John Wayne, Keith Whitley & Lorrie Morgan & also bull rider Lane Frost (Luke Perry, 8 Seconds) at The National Finals Rodeo in Las, Vegas.

I enjoyed this movie on Garth Brooks!!!!!!!

This includes never seen interview footage of Garth discussing how & why each video was made. Also - Live Performance Footage & this is great!!!!!!!!!!

I loved this video!!!!!!!!!!!

Garth is in his late 20s in this film, speaking at length about the three videos presented, his early years and the time he heard his first single played on the radio, the legacy he will leave behind and his goals, the risks worth taking, and his music in general; there are also excerpts from live performances of "Not Counting You" (G. Brooks), "Much Too Young" (R. Taylor/ G. Brooks), and "Friends in Low Places" (D. Blackwell/ B. Lee).
Total running time is a very short 30 minutes, but what you do get is first rate.

The videos:
1: "The Dance" (Tony Arata). Shows clips of people no longer with us, predominantly President Kennedy (poignantly shown with his son, John), Martin Luther King, and John Wayne. It's a beautiful song, with much meaning.
"Yes, my life is better left to chance,
I could have missed the pain, but I'd of had to miss the dance".

2: "If Tomorrow Never Comes" (K. Blazy/ G. Brooks). Garth's first video, made under a tight budget, and filmed in sepia tones; family and friends take part in it, including his wife Sandy, who looks lovely in a strapless summer dress.
"So tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes".

3: "The Thunder Rolls" (P. Alger/ G. Brooks). One of my favorite songs Garth has written (and he's written some great ones), this is about a cheating man who gets his due, and Garth plays the villain with some additions in the hair/beard department.
"The thunder rolls, and the lightning strikes
Another love grows cold, on a sleepless night
As the storm rolls on, out of control
Deep in her heart, the thunder rolls".

This concert in the Reunion Arena in Dallas, Texas was truely a mystical and magical evening for those who attended it. During the concert, the interviews and the backround footage really represented "the way I really live" as Garth put it. The people who saw the concert on t.v. got a breath of what people have been raving about ever since Garth came out in 1989. As for the concert itself, the music and the light shows were magnificent. There was no doubt at the time that Garth Brooks knows how to put on a great show. He introduced some of the new songs that came out on his third album, "Ropin' the wind". Garth also introduced a third verse to the song "Friends in low places" which he called a verse that "made it a little more me!" The audience was entertained more when Garth prepared a special ending for friends in low Places when he and acoustic guitar player Ty England smashed their guitars together. After the last song, Garth announced that he was happy that everyone came and he had a "hell of a time". But Electric guitar player, James Garver, thought that the audience needed just a little more Garth. So he led the audience in an encore until Garth came back out on stage. When he did, he gave the audience a rendition of "Keep your hands to Yourself" As you can see just by this review that this is a concert that should be seen and should not be missed.

This video has great live performances and also many friends and family telling stories about Garth Brooks, the man, the husband and how he started out. As well as, things he does before his performance to get ready for the shows. It gives a good look into Garth--from a genuine fan.

If you love or even like Garth Brooks, then this is for you. The video for "The Dance",alone, makes it worth purchasing. If you don't like Garth, then why are you even reading this? Buy it today!

He covers all his great songs from way back when. Lots of great action and fun.

Good Pictures and you get a complete background on him from family friends and coworkers.

Excellent video of Garth Brooks. We were well-pleased. Purchased it mainly for
The Dance video, but enjoyed the complete tape just as well. Anyone who is a
Garth Brooks fan should have this one.

This video is a rip-off. It's nothing but a lot of talking and not much singing. I thought I was going to see at least one full song, but not, only tibits of songs here and there. Just a lot of bull. Thus, the cheap price.

it just goes to show that garth and country music dont belong on dvd think about it those country pumbkins aint got no money garth go home
