"The River," "Ain't Goin' Down ('Til the Sun Comes Up)," "People
Lovin People" "Papa Loved Mama" and many more hits. In a
special concert moment, Garth's wife Trisha Yearwood joins the stage for a
striking series of songs including "In Another's Eyes,"
"She's in Love with the Boy" and others.
The show will be simulcast on AT&T's AUDIENCE
Network--DIRECTV channel 239, U-verse channel 1114, DIRECTV
4K channel 106--and streaming on DIRECTV and U-verse apps or on

"I can't thank AT&T enough for this opportunity," said
Garth Brooks. "I will say no
matter what device you view the show on, none of them are going to
be big enough!! This show is HUGE!!! I got to see the
show for the first time this week and I was blown away with how
clear it looks, how real it feels...it is like you are right there
when it is happening!"
"We are honored that Garth Brooks
chose AT&T to premiere his concert from Yankee
Stadium," said Chris
Long, senior vice president, Original Content and
Production, AT&T. "This concert marks
AUDIENCE Network's first original concert premiere across all
AT&T platforms and will deliver an incredible 4K viewing
experience for his fans that they have never seen before."
2016 marks even more legendary moments for the music
pioneer as Garth Brooks is
now certified by the RIAA as the #1-selling solo artist
in U.S. history with over 138 million albums
sold, and is the first artist in history to receive 7 RIAA
Diamond awards for the now seven albums (No Fences,
Garth Brooks, Double

on an artist. Brooks has been inducted into the

previously held by such acts as The Beatles, The Rolling
Stones, and even Brooks himself. In just over a year and
