The friendship between Chris LeDoux and Garth Brooks was built not only on music, but on deep respect and admiration for each other. Garth has often said that Chris was one of his biggest inspirations to pursue music. Throughout the 1990s, both men talked about wanting to sing a song together on stage – but their busy touring schedules made it a rare event.
This rare live clip captures one of the few times they fulfilled that promise. It happened at a concert in Wyoming – Chris’s home state. When Garth made the introduction, the crowd erupted: “Ladies and gentlemen, my hero and my friend – Chris LeDoux!”
The two sat on simple wooden stools, each with a guitar in hand, bathed in the warm glow of stage lights. As the acoustic strumming began, they launched into “Whatcha Gonna Do with a Cowboy” – the song they recorded together back in 1992. The audience didn’t just hear the melody; they felt the friendship, respect, and pure joy in every line.
That moment has become even more precious since Chris’s passing in 2005. The clip is more than a performance – it’s a reminder of a steadfast friendship between two men who together wrote a chapter of country music history.
