In Dallas on Saturday Night, garthbrooks Put on a Show That Was a Love Letter to North Texas
Back in 1985, an entertainment attorney from Dallas named Rod Phelps caught wind of a young country singer who’d been wowing audiences in Oklahoma honky-tonks and bars, so he drove up to a Tulsa club to see Garth Brooks play. Impressed, Phelps produced Brooks' first demo, establishing a North Texas connection with the biggest name in country music that has lasted nearly four decades.
Rossi thanked the audience and introduced the night's next warm-up act, none other than Trisha Yearwood. Radiant and smiling brightly, Yearwood gave the audience exactly what they wanted with a short set of songs that included the ballad"How Do I Live" and the pop country smash hit"She's In Love with a Boy," complete with kiss cam, and of course, a few awkward kisses.
Brooks promised the audience that he, too, would hate it if he went to a concert and all he heard was the new stuff and went straight into his 1991 single"Rodeo." As rough as the start was, by the time it was "bulls and blood...dust and mud," the greatest showman in country music had officially hit his stride.
and proceeded to play a solo, acoustic version of the song, saying that this was also Yearwood's favorite song of his. The encore was an absolute delight, with Brooks circling the stage reading more fan signs and doing his best to fill the requests, playing the first verse of"The Red Strokes" and"She's Every Woman."
