The Entertainer is the name of a 5 disc Garth Brooks DVD collection of previously aired television specials and music videos. The collection was released on November 1, 2006 and was sold exclusively at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club stores. Most of the footage are from different angles than seen on the original broadcast.
The collection contains the following previously aired television specials and music videos:
Discs 1, 2, 3 and 4 each contain an edited edition of a previously-aired Garth Brooks television special. References to Brooks' ex-wife Sandy Mahl have been edited out of all four specials, as have most of her likenesses, save a rare brief shot on disc 3. Disc 5 contains a collection of Brooks' music videos, spanning from his first major label album release in 1989, to his last new collection in 2005. They each contain the main program content, two bonus songs, and a photo montage.
Disc 1 contains the program This Is Garth Brooks, filmed during Brooks' September 20 and 21, 1991 sold-out concerts at the Reunion Arena in Dallas Texas. This Is Garth Brooks first aired on January 17, 1992 on NBC-TV.
Disc 2 contains the program This Is Garth Brooks, Too!, a follow-up to the previous show. The concert took place on June 12, 1993 at Texas Stadium, which sold out in 92 minutes, selling over 65,000 tickets and breaking the previous sales record held by Paul McCartney. Dallas fans demanded and got more shows: a second show sold 65,000 tickets in 92 minutes, as did a third.
Disc 3 contains the program Live in Central Park, which was a free concert in New York City's Central Park on August 7, 1997. Many fans started calling the event "Garthstock", which was attended by 980,000 fans, which was the largest concert ever in Central Park.
Disc 4 contains the program Live From Dublin, three sold out concerts in Dublin's Croke Park on May 16, 17, and 18, 1997. 150,000 tickets were sold, which broke a record previously set by U2 in 1992. The concert first aired on March 5, 1998 on NBC and was watched by over 15.7 million people.
