In Seattle Washington Trisha opened up for Garth Brooks. It was a sell out crowd! The shows went on for six nights and were all sold out. It took a whopping six hours. On stage Trisha came through the floor to start off with a song off her songbook album called Perfect Love. Trisha of course sang with Garth their duet that topped the charts the name of that song is In Another's Eyes.With her part of the show coming to a close she performed her first top of the charts song She's In Love With The Boy. The crowd cheered and went wild when she performed this song!

First of all, I would like to say I have been a Trisha fan ever since I heard
Shes In Love with the Boy. She brought me into the country music world. Now
for the concert. I attended the 3rd show out of 4 in Salt Lake City Utah
where she opened for Mr Garth Brooks. I was 4th row on the floor center
stage. I had made a poster saying WE (heart) TRISHA. I kept holding it up
every now and then. First time she noticed it she looked at me and smiled
during her outstanding performance on Perfect Love (which she opened with). I
was so excited she saw my poster. All through the show she kept pointing at
me, smiling, and saying Thanks. One time during The Song Remembers When she
was singing while I was lip-singing with her she was looking straight at me
and we were singing together (at least in my mind). I would like to comment
also on the concert of course. WOW!! This woman can sing anything with
perfection and her voice is so powerful it gives me chills when I hear it.
She was very energetic on stage and you could tell she was having a blast. My
only objection to her performance is that she wasnt on long enough. When the
Female Artist of the Year is on stage the fans need to hear at least an hour
from her. But other than that I was very very pleased with her performance,
even enough to go to Las Vegas for another show!! My favorite part of the
show was when Trisha came back out and sang In Anothers Eyes and Walkaway Joe
with Garth. It was so beautiful and I hope they put out an album of duets
soon. I also loved her performance on How Do I Live. It was so good I was
crying. Now during intermission which was the highlight of my life. I was
gossiping with my friend and some guy came out from backstage. He said give
me your poster because Trisha wants to sign it. OH MY GOD!!! She wants to
autograph my poster. I was freaking out and bauling at the same time. When
he came back out with the poster he gave it to me and said Trisha wants to
thank you for making her day. With tears in my eyes I said tell her thank you
for making my life. The poster read "Thank You, Love Trisha Yearwood" Then
he had a walkie talkie and told us to say thank you to Trisha because she was
on the other line. We were all screaming thank you and I love you she
probably couldnt understand us but I talked to Trisha, got her autograph, and
best of all saw her in concert. This is a night I will never forget as long
as I live. Trisha is always the #1 Female Artist in my book.

This concert was one of the 9 concerts Trisha gave in the United Kingdom in November. It took place in the Hammersmith Apollo and Trisha was so happy to be performing in a traditional music hall once again. The atmosphere at the Apollo was just great, as Allison Moorer opened for a sold out house. Moorer, a fellow MCA singer did a great job and warmed the crowd, but the crowd went wild as Trisha appeared on stage. The concert she gave was simple overwhelming, not in the last place due to the GREAT band that always accompanies her! She opened with "Perfect love" and continued with songs both recent and from previous albums. Highlights of the evening were stunning performances of "How do I live" where she satirically referred to Leann Rimes's version of this song, "Walk away Joe", which sounded better that I had ever heard it sound and "On a bus to St. Cloud" which she sang as encore.
After almost three hours of music the audience left the music hall in a great mood. It was an awesome show! Hopefully, the enthusiasm of the crowd makes her consider coming to Europe more frequent!
Evansville, IN. By Heather and Laura.
My friend and I went with my parents to see Trisha and Garth during the summer of 1998.
Of course we were there because my sister got up at
the crack of dawn just to stand in line for hours.
Being that it was a four show sell out our seats were less admirable as one would desire. I'm
talking the nose-bleed section here, you know where you get
out the binoculars just to see a little speck. I, my friend, and my parents attended
the first show which was on a Thursday night. We arrived an
hour early just so we could find our seats and try to get settled for the big show.
We were minding our own business playing with the binoculars when a woman sat behind us.
She started to talk to us and we thought she was
waiting for the rest of her party to arrive. She asked us questions mainly about Garth Brooks. She asked,"So, are you girls big Garth fans?
Are you here by yourselves? How did you get your tickets? Do you like your seats?"
We told her that Garth was good but we were really there
to see Trisha Yearwood. Of course when she asked us about or seats we said they were better
than nothing. She then proceeded to tell us that
she thought our seats weren't very good.
At that we were a little offended. She then pulls out her 'Garth family pass' and tells us that she
works for Garth. While in shock from her revelation she asked us if we would like to sit
down in the 2nd row center stage. My parents were
excited for us and said go ahead it's a great opportunity. Needless to say we were
elated and could hardly believe our luck. The concert was
very awsome, especially from the second row!!!!! My friend caught a guitar pick from
Trisha's lead guitarist and we both touched Garth. That
was the best concert we
had EVER seen!!!! It was even better than the Aerosmith concert we saw in November of 1998.
