Superstars will be showcased in Friday night concerts

Tossing aside conventional wisdom that musical programming isn't a ratings bonanza, CBS has made plans to broadcast concerts by superstars Garth Brooks and Celine Dion.

Up first will be "Garth Brooks: Live in LA!," an hour-long event which will air live on Friday, Jan. 25 at 9 p.m. ET. The Friday show will be the first of Brooks' five shows in two days at the Staples Center.

You probably couldn't get tickets to the Brooks concert, which will raise money for F.I.R.E. (Fire Intervention Relief Effort) in California. Ducats for the top-selling solo artist in U.S. history sold out in less than an hour.

Expect the Dion concert to be a more produced affair since "Celine Dion: That's Just the Woman in Me" will be an hour-long program based on a show Dion did at Los Angeles' Wiltern Theatre on Jan. 12. It was her first concert after ending a five-year run with "A New Day" in Las Vegas."

Set to air on Friday, Feb. 15, "That's Just the Woman in Me" will find Dion singing past hits like "My Heart Will Go On," as well as songs off her current album "Taking Chances." Guests include will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas and Josh Groban.

This will be Dion's third special for CBS.
