Ready for story time with Garth Brooks? The country music legend has been more active on social media as of late because he’s got yet another box set that just came out (right in time for the holiday season). Because the best way to spread Christmas cheer is buying a box set of Garth for only you to hear. Merry Garthsmas… need any other Garth Brooks Christmas jokes? You are likely familiar with the “Anthology” series that Brooks has been putting out over the years. It was earlier in 2025 when Garth and his team released The Anthology Part V: The Comeback – The First Five Years. Around this same time last year, Brooks shared the release of The Anthology Part IV: Going Home. Someone out there is gonna get a Garth Brooks box set for the second Christmas in a row, because it was announced earlier this month that The Anthology Part VI was officially available. The latest Anthology installment explores the COVID-era of Garth Brooks, will cost you just $39.95, and includes 6 CDs (do people still have CD players?), 60 songs, a live record from Garth’s Ireland show, and over 150 behind-the-scenes photos. Feel like that’s a pretty good deal if we were still living in 2007. And he’s been posting videos online in an attempt to really sell the thing. Most of the videos that have gone out on social media and his website feature Brooks recalling some bad weather and unfortunate circumstances that he ran into during some big shows, and this particular clip saw Garth telling the story of his Nebraska concert – where the sound briefly went out – like it was some sort of tragic event. Garth, sitting at a table and speaking in a voice that could only be described as a strained whisper, began to walk fans through the horrific circumstance that played out in August of 2021 in Lincoln, Nebraska. He stood in front of almost 100,000 people, and the unthinkable happened: “What happens in Lincoln, Nebraska is the entire sound goes out. Now you are standing right with me, 95,000 people, and you can’t communicate with them. And you start to see how little power you have. It’s like you are standing on a mountain – how small and insignificant you are.” Well… that’s one way to put a power/sound outage… I don’t think anyone other than Garth got that existential about the mix up. His crew apparently got the sound up and running again within seconds (though it was apparently enough time for him to ponder about the meaning of life). He went on to say that the outage was so brief, the crowd just assumed it was part of the show, and barely even noticed. Then right after downplaying it, Garth dramatized the absolute hell out of it all: “I can tell you as an entertainer, I’ve never been more scared in my life. The wheel was in front of me, and I couldn’t touch it. Without your crew, without your band, I don’t care who you are, you are nothing.” View this post on Instagram I know that’s supposed to be serious, but it all comes off as laugh-out-loud funny to me. It’s just a brief sound/power outage Garth? No one was in danger? Why is he talking about this like he saved someone’s life? The whole “wheel was right there” line is the definition of over the top, but it’s not surprising. All of this is pretty much on brand for the “Much Too Young” singer. He also posted a video through his website (he can’t post much anywhere else out of fear that people will hijack the comment section) that talked about his Nashville stadium show during COVID where it… rained really hard. You’d think he was trying to put on a concert in an active war zone the way he was talking about it. I’ll give Garth some credit though. He can sell drama just about as well as he can sell people box sets full of photos and CDs. It’s honestly a VERY impressive…The post “I’ve Never Been More Scared In My Life” – Garth Brooks Recalls The Harrowing Story Of A … Brief Power Outage… During His 2021 Nebraska Concert first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
