Big update as Garth Brooks reveals release date of Croke Park gig footage
The US country star was speaking during a Facebook live broadcast on Monday
US country music star Garth Brooks has given an update to Irish fans hoping to watch the recording of his show from Croke Park in 2022.
The Friends in Low Places singer has long-promised the footage to fans and it now looks like it's finally going to be released this year.
Speaking on a Facebook Live video this week after a fan question, Garth said it's looking like the footage will be released "this fall" and told fans it would be worth the wait.
He said: "It's going to be worth the wait. When I see it, I just cry the whole time."
"When you think about it, it's just 85,000 people that are one and this happened five nights in a row. They came there to sing. This will be the one concert you'll go, 'I can't hear Garth,' and you won't. They just swallow it up and it's fantastic," he added.
"It makes an entertainer's job very easy. For anybody that gets to play music, you're damn lucky if you get to play in Ireland and I'll be damn lucky if I get to play there again. I love that place," he added hinting at a possible return to these shores.
While not giving a specific date for the release of the footage, he added: "It's coming. The video is done. The images are done. We're looking at this fall [Autumn]."
He previously announced that live recordings from Croke Park would also be featured on his new live album called Killer Live. While not specifically saying which tracks from Croke Park will feature, he said, "we've got a lot of good things coming."
One hint came in a previous live video when Garth mentioned his performance of The Dance in Croke Park as a stand-out moment.
"Reliving the thought right now, I'm sitting here crying, especially The Dance," he said.
"Should anyone get through The Dance without crying, because everyone in the crowd's crying. It's great.
"The guys that captured it did a great job but the crowd, their voices. They'll do the big drone and helicopter shots and just that sound coming out of that stadium, of all those voices singing together. Man, it will rock your world."
