Garth Brooks sings "The Dance" to cancer patient at Minneapolis concert
Музыка
Nov 7, 2014 -- as the final song of the night (and the 3rd of 11 shows at Target Center), Garth Brooks ends by giving a woman battling cancer the night of her life! He notices the sign of Teresa Shaw, which says: "Chemo this morning, Garth tonight. Enjoy the dance", and he walked over to serenade her from the edge of the stage. He gave up finishing the song to give her the guitar right off his back, as well as an embrace which ended with a kiss on her forehead, leaving those in attendance to finish the song in unison. Garth then held up her sign and proclaimed to her (and all those in attendance): "God just stuck his hand out! You have all my strength, you have everybody's strength in here, and you go kick cancer's ass!"
It was truly a moment I will NEVER forget.

Everyone on my father's side of the family has passed away from cancer. I have had cancer twice in my arm and was told that i have the cancer gene in my blood. Watching Garth Brooks display his act of kindness to that woman with that sign about her battling cancer and he stops his song in the middle of his concert and hands her his guitar and told her to go kick cancer's ass was the most powerful thing I've ever seen !!!!! I have been to many many concerts BUT,,,,,"""NEVER""" have I seen an artist just stop in the middle of a song and concert and give all the focus on a fan. For him to do what he did, hug her and give her his guitar was just soooo POWERFUL !!!!! G-D BLESS YOU GARTH BROOKS !!!!!!
I'm not crying at work, those onions in the kitchen across the street are just really strong.
Who the hell could downvote this?
This made me, cry. The power of God manifests itself in many ways and most definitely that woman needed that uplifting message at that very moment. Way to go, Garth...WAY TO GO!
This reminds me of my wife and Mark Wills. She was going thru breast cancer treatments and feeling really low. My wife is a big Mark Wills fan, and by chance I met his sister in law and asked if there was any chance he might do something to cheer her up. He sent my wife some cd’s and a letter of encouragement. I don’t know if these folks realize how much that can mean to someone at the moment of their greatest fear. Thank you Garth and people like Mark Wills for taking a moment of your time to really make a difference. I know to many it doesn’t seem like much, but to someone facing their greatest fears, it can mean the world. God bless.
I cry every time I see this. It is beautiful. Garth is now and always has been No.l in country music.
I'm okay. Just choppin' onions here. [sniff]

I was thinking of all the bad things happening in our world and I forgot about the good .there is still kindness and love God bless Garth and the beautiful lady with cancer
Wow, I am in tears....this is a song I have always loved by Garth.....That was a beautiful moment seeing him with that lady, she must have been so grateful.
That truly was the most kindest dearest thing I have ever seen from a concert. I have alot of respect for brooks. Well done
I'm not even a country music fan but this guy has some class and that woman is tougher than any warrior I know. I am a grown man and this made me tear up just telling my wife about it.

The greatest country singer ever, never be beaten
That was the most moving thing i have seen all year. WOW what a great person.!!!
He is still got it!!! Glad he came back to music!!!!! I missed that voice!!!!!!! Love Garth Brooks!!!!!!!! This was a sweet and touching video.....
My father is battling with cancer he has it on the liver, and he did have it on the bowel., every day we thank god for as much time we have with him.☹️️☹️️☹️️☹️️
Love this song. Love what Garth did for this lady. What a blessing.
Goosebumps! !!!.... Garth Brooks is an incredible human being.
Amazing!! Simply Amazing!! Feels so good to see the strength and power of God and his love running through the veins of Garth and his fans! Garth will always be an American icon who stay's in the hearts of those his music and actions have touched. How lucky are we to witness such greatness? I'd say, pretty darn lucky!!!
I'm slowly watching my mother die from cancer. It's so damned hard watching a proud, hard working mother who has given everything as a single mother, to me and my brother and all of our boys. Some days she prays to die and some days she fights like a tiger. Me and my brother are both musicians, we grew up on Garth, and All of our 6 boys play music and our grandkids are all showing signs of music. She's raised 3 generations and put up with so so much. Thank you Garth for the memories, and it's so true...." I could have missed the pain, but I would have had to miss all the times I got to dance with the beautiful Lady I call my Mother". 😢😢😢❤❤❤
I gotta say, the band came back in at just the perfect moment and beautifully rounded out this amazing experience. I tear up every time I watch this…
Garth Brooks God Bless You. You Have warm Heart
How the hell can you dislike this?!
a great friend & grandpa are both cancer free....praise God. I know his time will come but I cant imagine life without him
Class Act! Period!!
That was awesome! I always liked his music but after seeing that, I have much more admiration for him. He really is one great guy.
The ladies daughter used to babysit me. They were both very nice, so it's a damn shame that she got cancer. She, sadly, passed away a few months ago.
So beautiful! I cry every time he's awesome! Love him for the wonderful person he is. It touches my heart. And everybody's. God bless
So nics i lost my Grandmother little over a yr ago and ever time i hear this song i think of her she play it all thr time and bc of her that is why i am who i am today and miss her ever day and yes we did lose her from Cancer

Last night in Fresno, it was awesome to hear Trisha say "Kick Cancer's Ass"..!! You really feel the love from Garth when he plays to you...!!!! Best Concert ever...!! Garth, come to Fresno and Children's Hospital and show them how to "Kick Cancer's Ass..!!".
FANTASTIC tribute to women with cancer!!!Gary(Gazza).
this is why I love garth brooks
Garth Brooks is my new hero. This made me cry, so sweet!
God Bless You Garth Brooks.
god bless Teresa shaw ,, god bless garth, god bless all those that are fighting that fight ,,
Garth is a great American hero of mine. What gets me is how the other music, like the dark metal and goth and even rap promoting gangs and rape can thrive in a world where good exists so strongly. It must mean that people are misguided and led by the other evil things and some like Garth see the good and that is their song. Too bad the other people are lost in evil messages.
Such a class act!
This shows that people do care i watched this on tv today and i cried
That is among one of the most beautiful things i have ever seen. We need more of this in the world.
This man is truly a star, with a heart of gold. God bless him for this and praying for the woman who is battling this atrocious disease. Stay strong and fight the good fight!
A beautiful moment shared between Garth Brooks, this woman and his audience. … as for "Hellasow" - this person has spent TWO MONTHS of his time - and yours - spewing his opinions and bile. … Just walk away and leave he/she to his unhappiness and over-abundance of free time to troll the internet and You Tube.
What a wonderful thing he did.
im fighting now, and crying my eyes out. Fighting for my hubby and kids.

I'm so sad to hear the beautiful lady lost her life to cancer. I just lost my favorite Aunt on my Dad's side of the family.... She was a beautiful person and a talented artist!!!! I had cancer the first time at the age 18 .... I did beat it!!! BUT NOW I am dealing with a different form of cancer.... Plus I have many different health issues... I miss my Aunt and all the other family and friends that I've lost bc of Cancer.... RIP my Angel's ... your dearly missed and loved .... I know she is up there painting Heaven ...

Thanks a bunch for the video. :D
COOL ...
Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light,What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,O'er the ramparts we watched we're so gallantly streaming?And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air,Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.Oh, say does that star spangled banner yet wave,O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
For those with good health , they can learn to feel compassion, empathy and care towards those who are sick, and dying, many nursing homes, and hospitals have lonely patients , pay them a visit, you would be suprised, there are young to old in nursing homes, some have had accidents and end up there, others, alone, they like little presents, magazines and sometimes a chat, smile and hug, many elderly in America are very lonely.. I hope the lady on here with cancer beat it and is doing well. If anyone smokes, quit now. I have 3 friends die of LUNG Cancer over past 4 yrs. Alcohol : causes 7 types of Cancer! freedom of speech USA
Apparently 22 people have never had to fight for anything in life
just a word to the people who don't think this is garth, live versions always sound different. (take it from someone who has perfessional singerd in the family. These days you see garth in a ball cap.

It says "chemo by day and Garth Brooks by night."
I was going to purpose at the concert but I wouldn't have been able to hide the sign he would have read and everything but if I could have it would have happened at the concert and he and everyone else there would have seen it

To the people who thinks this is not Garth Brooks you need too get glasses

Let the man sing. Stop singing along to every song.
This song sounds better , when sung on top of a UFO.
Garth didn't sign the guitar? That sucks.
I really like this video-I love a celebrity who still cares about his fans and people in general, But I don't see why god had to be mentioned, if the god he believes in or claims to believe in was all loving and compassionate-then why is there cancer or death or any disaster? There is a time and place for "god-talk" and a public concert is not that place.

Hey Gravel, have you ever had a "positive impact" on anybody's life while living your "faith". Faith in anything? God, the Devil, Humans? His impact, through his faith in "SOMETHING" has brought smiles to thousands, including those desperate kids in Children's Hospitals....Maybe someday you or I might be so blessed? Be glad somebody is willing to share his "GOD" given talents to better this increasingly ugly world?

Not to mention, a lot of his songs are about or mention God!! If that lady he was singing to was offended by that or anybody else I don't think they would go to th concert, nor should it come as a suprise. He is a Christian and is very open about his faith. So I don't quite understand why his concert would be inappropriate setting for "God talk.
You fools this isn't even Garth.
