'We're all in this together': Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood home concert crashes Facebook Live
By Bryan Alexander - USA TODAY

Fans were so eager to see Garth Brooks and wife Trisha Yearwood together in a Facebook Live concert Monday night that the overloaded site crashed again and again. And again.

"Garth, did you break the internet?" was the frequent fan comment amid the breakdowns, as 3.4 million viewers tuned in.

For the patient, and those able to reload the page, the stuck-at-home-casual husband-and-wife team gave an emotional, soulful "Inside Studio G" concert for fans watching from their own homes during the coronavirus pandemic.
 

"We're all in this together," Brooks said, after tearfully watching Yearwood sing a resonant "Amazing Grace."

Here are the high points of the hour-long home concert:

This was down-home casual. Brooks sported scruffy facial hair, a cap and a Detroit Mercy Lacrosse hoodie sweatshirt while Yearwood wore a Nashville Predators hockey shirt and occasionally threw on her reading glasses. At one point between songs, Yearwood reached over and removed some "fuzz" from her husband's beard.

"I got you," she said.

Brooks made it clear he's been suffering from cabin fever as the national call to stay at home continues. After one guitar riff, a smiling Brooks declared, "I need this worse than anybody."
There's a silver lining to being at home.

"You get to play your guitar walking around your home because – got nothing to do," Brooks said.
