Garth: Live from Central Park was a concert held by American country pop musician Garth Brooks on August 7, 1997 at Central Park in New York City. Dubbed 'Garthstock' (paying homage to Woodstock), the concert was free of charge and became the largest concert ever held in the park, with an estimated audience of over 1,000,000. It was filmed and broadcast live on HBO, as well as later included in Brooks' The Entertainer DVD collection, released in 2006.
Background[edit]
Brooks announced a free concert in Central Park during his 1996–98 world tour, and the only stop in New York during its entire record-breaking duration. Initial reports of expected attendance from Brooks' promoter was 1 million, while New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani's office estimated a modest 300,000.[1] Speculation about the area's acceptance of country music, as well as any cross-genre special guests, filled the media days prior to the concert.[2] At the concert, it was revealed that Billy Joel and Don McLean were the rumored special guests, joining Brooks separately onstage to perform a selection of their songs.[3]
Stage and setup[edit]
The stage was of unseen proportions for an outdoor concert, consisting of a circular array lighting rig spanning 100 feet (30 m) atop a stage spanning 360 feet (110 m).[1] Situated on the park's North Meadow,[4] the stage allowed more optimal viewing for fans within the fenced barricade. Having never expected a concert of such attendance in the area, many additional police officers and park rangers were prompted to add more patrol to the site. As space was limited, the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation required fans to bring blankets no larger than for a king-size bed, allowing more room for attendees.[1]
Records and legacy[edit]
Months following the concert, reports began showing total concert attendance being 750,000; however the New York City Fire Department's official attendance record shows an estimation of approximately 1,000,000+.[5][6] Dubbed 'Garthstock', the concert garnered comparison to the Woodstock concert festival due to its large, outdoor attendance.[7] It remains the largest concert ever held in the park, surpassing the previous record of approximately 600,000 (held by Paul Simon from his 1991 park concert).[3] Garth paid tribute to this record by performing the first two verses of 'A Heart in New York' when taking the stage.
