 Even though this was Brooks' final concert tour before his retirement in 2001, it drew record-breaking crowds in North America, 2 places in Ireland, and one place in South America, becoming the third-most attended concert tour of all time, as well as one of the decade's highest-grossing concert tours.
Greatest Hits, also titled Garth Brooks in... The Life of Chris Gaines, is an album by American country music artist Garth Brooks, in which Brooks assumes the fictitious persona of Australian rock artist Chris Gaines.
 Originally, this album was intended to be the soundtrack for a movie called "The Lamb" that would star Brooks as a rock star recalling the different periods of his life.
 This album was purposely released a year in advance from the scheduled film release date to pique interest in Brooks performing rock instead of country.
 "The Lamb", however, was never filmed due to financial and management problems.
