Thoughts on the London Show from a long time fan
I’ve seen GB at least 8 times including Central Park back in the day and I can say with confidence that this concert was a complete replica of his Vegas show (and no Trisha!). the anecdotes, stories, gimmicks were the same. I thought he would do something special since he was in England but he still insists on singing that tired bob seger song when no one is here for that. in a limited concert we want to hear some Garth bangers.
also. Garth named his firsr child Taylor after James Taylor. Zach Brown Band has a song with James Taylor. I’m shocked Garth didn’t bring Zach out to do some epic James Taylor mash up.
l have seen the twist and shout bit before and it’s old…. It’s tired. In a short concert Garth needs to stop with the shtick..lts corny.
He is so robotic and sticking to the script that he didn’t even acknowledge the football chant as he came for his encore. No one in the states does that sort of chant. But he came out and just spoke his canned script. Had I known that I was just getting a repeat of his Vegas show I wouldn’t have gotten tickets.
But I also really love Zac Brown so he and his band made it worth it for me.
