Rockin’ on My 40th Birthday: Greta Van Fleet Concert Review

Thank you everyone for all the birthday wishes.
I had a great day listening to music and I went and saw Greta Van Fleet RIVAL SONS and The Velveteers in Cincinnati.
All were very good.
Greta is definitely the real deal.
They get compared to Led Zeppelin a lot but ultimately I think they sound like a 70s band period, which is great.
All the musicianship and the vocals are stellar.
They have a great stage show.
They expand on some of their songs live and jam on them.
They got it all.  Oh and most of them are brothers so they’ve known each other their whole lives.
Again, they are the real deal!!!!
Rival Sons has been around awhile but they’re great too.
Singer Jay Buchanan sounds a lot like Paul Rodgers but still has his own voice.
They’re just a great rock band.
The Velveteers have a lot of energy and sound really good too.
Really great show.
