Dubbed "Garthstock" (paying homage to Woodstock), the concert was free of charge and became the largest concert ever held in the park, with an estimated audience of 980,000. It was filmed and broadcast live on HBO, as well as later included in Brooks' The Entertainer DVD collection, released in 2006. BackgroundBrooks announced a free concert in Central Park during his 1996–98 world tour, and the only stop in New York during its entire record-breaking duration. Initial reports of expected attendance from Brooks' promoter was 1 million, while New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani's office estimated a modest 300,000.[1] Speculation about the area's acceptance of country music, as well as any cross-genre special guests, filled the media days prior to the concert.[2] At the concert, it was revealed that Billy Joel and Don McLean were the rumored special guests, joining Brooks separately onstage to perform a selection of their songs.[3] Stage and setupThe stage was of unseen proportions for an outdoor concert, consisting of a circular array lighting rig spanning {{convert|100|ft|m}} atop a stage spanning {{convert|360|ft|m}}.[1] Situated on the park's North Meadow, the stage allowed more optimal viewing for fans within the fenced barricade. Having never expected a concert of such attendance in the area, many additional police officers and park rangers were prompted to add more patrol to the site. As space was limited, the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation required fans to bring blankets no larger than for a king-size bed, allowing more room for attendees.[1] Records and legacyMonths following the concert, reports began showing total concert attendance being 750,000; however the New York City Fire Department's official attendance record shows an estimation of approximately 980,000.[4][5] Dubbed "Garthstock", the concert garnered comparison to the Woodstock concert festival due to its large, outdoor attendance.[6] It remains the largest concert ever held in the park, surpassing the previous record of approximately 600,000 (held by Paul Simon from his 1991 park concert).[3] Broadcast and distributionGarth: Live from Central Park was broadcast live on HBO. Directed by Marty Callner and produced by Brooks and Jon Small, it received 14.6 million viewers, the most of any concert special that year.[6] It later received six Emmy Award nominations, including for Outstanding Variety, Music, or Comedy Special, and Brooks received the Academy of Country Music's Special Achievement Award for the special.[5] It was later edited and released on VHS, followed by its 2006 DVD release, retitled Live in Central Park, in Brooks' The Entertainer video collection.
