If you weren’t one of the more than 84,000 fans who purchased a ticket to watch Garth Brooks’ concert at Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Indiana, on Oct. 20, you can still be a part of the experience.
CBS will premiere a new two-hour television special that captures his performance. Garth: Live at Notre Dame will air on Dec. 2 at 8 p.m. ET.
While Garth may have had a pretty good vantage point during the concert, he told Kix Brooks of American Country Countdown that he’s looking forward to experiencing the TV special from a bird’s-eye view courtesy of the footage taken by helicopter cameras, including a shot of Notre Dame’s famous mural, Touchdown Jesus.
“I saw the first frames of [the TV special] about four days ago—it’s gorgeous,” says Garth to Kix. “The helicopter shots are my favorite because you get to see Touchdown Jesus. The stadium’s lit beautifully, but my favorite, favorite thing are the crowd shots ’cause it was not an easy concert for them to be in a crowd in ’cause it was cold. You’d never know it. They’re bundled up, but you’d never know it. They’re singing. They’re laughing. Their faces are beautiful and it goes all night long like that. They don’t wane. They don’t tire. I was impressed, so [I’m] really, really fired up for what the nation’s about to see.”
