We shall be free...

"When the last child cries for a crust of bread

When the last man dies for just words that he said

When there's shelter over the poorest head

Then we shall be free

When the last thing we notice is the color of skin

And the first thing we look for is the beauty within

When the skies and the oceans are clean again

Then we shall be free

We shall be free

We shall be free

So, have a little faith and hold out

'Cause we shall be free" ~Garth Brooks

Gotta love Garth!  He has been the number 1 artist I wanted to see in concert since I can remember.  And after years of thinking I would never get to see him, thanks to numerous "retirements", he finally came back for one last show in Kansas City in November of 2007 and I got to go!  It was amazing.  Jen (my best friend who went with me) will agree, words cannot describe how great that concert was.  His energy, passion, and love for performing combined with all his greatest hits was overwhelming.

Jen and I waiting for Garth to come on stage!

So that all said, you can imagine my excitement last night as Dave and I were walking around Sams and I found this...

New Garth Brooks DVD's with over 7 hours of performances, 15 music videos (including 3 never-before-seen music videos), bonus songs, photo galleries, and more!  We just started watching it and so far it's great...in between almost every song he performs are interviews from that time period, which means this first disc contains some of his first interviews and "meet Garth Brooks" types of videos of him talking about himself. They are hilarious! Just picture Garth back in the 90's with his mullet and wearing his OSU football jersey, pacing back and forth talking about making it big...priceless.  And the performances are ALMOST as good as seeing him in person...

...i'll just turn the lights down and the volume up and pretend I'm there :)
