In his live shows, Brooks used a wireless headset microphone to free himself to run about the stage, adding energy and arena rock theatrics to spice up the normally staid country music approach to concerts.

Despite all the cited influences, Brooks stated the energetic style of his stage persona is directly inspired by Chris LeDoux.
