Garth Brooks talks about performing in concert. (:22)
“When you come into our show, the whole thing is to entertain, but the bottom line to everything is that music, and the bridge that that music has between the artist and those people that allow the artist to be an artist. And that’s what’s so beautiful about the night. So they come with their signs, they want to hear their music, and what a great job to get to deliver that to them. It’s the easiest thing I’ve ever done, and what a joy.”
