Here's the problem. The singer tried to say, "oh we are influenced by Black Sabbath, Deep Purple.." and NEVER mentioned the ONLY influence that actually mattered. It's literally watered down Jimmy Page riffs and a Robert Plant wannabe. If he at least admitted their influence it would have been better, but to try and say Zepplin wasn't one of the influences is asinine, ignorant, and wrong.

I will say-this performance is quite a few years old now and this kid has developed into his voice much more. They are insanely good live.

That happened today. These guys kick ass! Thanks!!

What really seals Joshua as a "new Robert Plant" is that he allows his voice to be one of the instruments. Plant did that. Steven Tyler did that. They allow themselves to be more than the lyrics, and it really shows in the "guitar battle" when Joshua jumps in and vocally challenges them on the same riff. It's really captivating to listen to.

Part of the reason for that criticism is that somebody (label, management or the group themselves) decided that they needed to HEAVILY lean into those comparisons to the point where it almost felt like they were banking on it to bring in the older crowd, rather than relying on their own merits. There seemed to be a noticeable shift in what they were recording and the way they were dressing when you compare Highway Tune, Black Smoke Rising to their newer stuff. These guys have other-worldly talent, in particular Jake who I think is one of the few great talents to come along on the guitar in the last 20 years. I just feel it's a shame that they didn't try to carve out their own space.

His full range is A2-D6. It's incredible!

Gretna Van Fleet is a resident of Frankenmuth, MI, the small town where they grew up. Their parents has tons of vinyl and so did their grandparents. Their dad is in a band and they grew up around guitars. Josh the lead singer and Jake on guitar are twins, Sam on bass or keyboards is their younger brother and Danny on drums is a friend since childhood. They started writing and performing in their early years. They had more influences besides LZ, and Robert Plant has made complimentary comments when asked about Josh and the band as a whole. I recommend checking out Heat Above, Broken Bells and other songs from their album. They’ll be releasing another album soon.

The way you can notice her falling in love with his voice, I think that happened to all of us who appreciate their music

Love your breakdowns so much! Please do more of their songs. So many great choices in their catalog. You'll be pleasantly surprised by Josh's range and overall vocal ability. Love GRETA!

As a Led Zeppelin fan I was as positively surprised by Greta when I first discovered them as you were. This song rocks in particular! If you want to inject some of the best Robert Plant performance into your ears I highly recommend *Babe I'm Gonna Leave You* from 1969 Danmarks Radio recording. One of the best live performances ever recorded. And if you're into discovering more new bands with and "old" sound, I highly recommend *Alabama Shakes* - Don't Wanna Fight. The girl singing has such a strong voice I know you're gonna love her!

Would love to see you do more GVF, definitely recommend The weight of dreams. Josh has some of the strongest belt we've had in rock for years and is a true showcase of the entire band's gifts with a nasty guitar solo

Speaking of decades before...they have even done a recording of A Change is Gonna Come. Joshua made it his own, is easily one of his best vocal performances, and it is one of my top 5 from them. Definitely listen to their studio version of that one!!

I first saw Greta Van Fleet on SNL and I was blown away by the sonic similarity to Led Zeppelin's vocal style on the particular song they were playing. I knew then that they were a band to watch. They have the same chemistry on stage as some of the great, long-lived rock-band legends from the late '60s and early '70s.

The members of the Brit Invasion bands literally took their sound from blues music and sped it up. Every style and generation takes from earlier ones.

The problem for me is that it’s just too on the nose and completely lacks originality which takes me out of it. It’s one thing to have many influences and borrow heavily from them, which Zeppelin clearly did, but it’s another thing entirely to imitate every aspect of one bands sound to the point where you could place your track on one of their albums and have new listeners to both bands unable to tell the difference. In other words, these guys seem to literally only have one influence. The vocal pitch, the lyrics, the guitar tone, the main riff, etc., etc. it’s all Led Zeppelin with nothing else sprinkled in. It’s almost like they weren’t allowed to listen to anyone else growing up and were forced to watch the song remains the same on repeat for a decade before they started their own band. Hell, the singer even goes out of his way to imitate Robert Plants mannerisms down to specific stances, poses, and hand gestures. The guitar player physically plays his guitar like Jimmy Page and solos in the same style. I will say this for them, I acknowledge that, in and of itself, it takes talent to successfully imitate the greatest band of all time while writing original music in the process, but it’s still a cheap imitation at the end of the day (they’ll graduate from a cheap imitation to an expensive one when they write another rain song or no quarter). Anyway, if I want to hear Zeppelin, I’ll play Zeppelin. What I want to hear is a band influenced by Zeppelin that applies what they learned from them to create their own sound and identity. I mean these guys literally used to be a Zeppelin cover band. What else is there to say?

There was another really insane one in AC where I think he might have even hit a higher note. It is so nuts, at times it’s hard to tel whether you are listening to the harmonica or the voice when listening live.

One of my greatest discovery! They were playing before Foo Fighters in Quebec city and there was a very big rain during their performance. The rain stopped during the song "A Change is gonna come"! It was magic!

Meeting the master from them will blow your socks off, as always amazing analysis!

"Heat Above" should be your next of GVF. It's a departure from the LED Zeppelin sound, and I think their most inventive song.

You should react to anything from their latest album, "Broken Bells -candleligh sessions" is amazing. This song is good but it was their first release, they changed since. From previous albums I recommend "Age of man" "black smoke rising" "Lover leaver taker believer" "Flower power at the red rocks amphitheatre" amazing lyrics, music and voice.

Is it ever!

Finally! I've been recommending this for awhile. They are awesome

I absolutely love to see the joy and happiness as you get so excited to talk about the musicians. You are an absolute treasure

Yes! Finally! I’ve been waiting for your reaction to GVF. I knew you’d enjoy their style and give us great feed back. Thank you! Oh also, if you listen to their newer more recent music, they are a lot less Zepplinish and definitely more their own sound. Still has a retro vibe but more Greta 😁

I think that the opening vocalization / scream is the band ‘s last opportunity to get the mix right in the in-ear monitors and in the room. The singer is seen reaching back to adjust his in-ears while wailing. These guys are very polished.

Thank you for this. I didn’t know I needed this in my life until now.

Definitely have to give the new songs a listen, his voice has developed so much since this song!

The singer and guitar player are identical twins. Their mom said both can sing it would be awesome to get them in to check out their vocal chords!!!! I'm been waiting for you to get to them!!! Thank you

I am so excited you have found the time to review this band! Truly amazing talent! I would suggest anything from their latest album as the best indicator of their true talent. Not just a band that sounds similar as Led Zeppelin, but a truly amazing sound (;

This is an amazing live performance as well ! The Age Of Man with 1.2 million views, you will not be disappointed! (;

I also knew or heard about Greta Van Fleet for years before I actually heard or saw them. I was absolutely flabbergasted the same way the first time! 😆 So fun to see you react the same way! I went on a mission to reveal all of their music and story at once. Still facinated with this band, and how this is fresh, new music but really should have been in the 70’s. 🤩

I'm 74 and I cannot get enough of their music. That voice!!! Past Excellent

From Highway Star to Highway Tune, hitting the road again. Watch your speed people.

Just match the BPM or you're too slow

Nice to see them here! One thing that I really like about them is that you can see them mature musically over their releases. Highway Tune has a naive spirit on it, but in songs from The Battle at Garden's Gate it's clear that they are more experienced and exploring different references, for instance, The Barbarians.

Here I am, 4 months after you, finally delving into this group and I Am So Impressed by them!!!

I love watching the excitement on your face as you listen to the music.

So many other songs from them that you need to check out. I'd highly recommend Broken Bells, Heat Above, Age of Machine and Black Smoke Rising. Their sound is developing nicely as they gain experience and push in their own direction. I'd also recommend the studio versions, as Josh's vocals are better heard in the mix.

I REALLY like Black Smoke Rising, personally.

"BROKEN BELLS", is a must listen!!! Definitely by far best vocal clarity!

Elizabeth - another band/song I'd highly recommend you react to is the song 'S.O.S.' by Canadian group 'The Glorious Sons'. The song is unique for being both anthem and emotionally-charged. The group toured with Greta Van Fleet and were chosen by the Rolling Stones to open for them twice. 'SOS' is a great song with an outstanding vocal performance by singer-songwriter-guitarist Brett Emmons. On some of their music he also plays harmonica.

Love you enthusiasm, it matches the raw power of this band. My son told me about them three or 4 years ago. I usher concerts in Raleigh NC and had the pleasure of ushering them from the pit 10 feet away in a 4000 seat venue in Raleigh. Was so blown away that I visited my son in Brooklyn a week later and we saw them again in Queens. What a band. Would have seen them in October here in Raleigh at a big arena but the singer hurt himself and its now in March...

They grew up listing to old blues records. Their father is a huge fan of the genre and even performs with a blues band. He plays harmonica. And, yes, he has taken stage with the boys to perform some blues numbers. He's damned good. But the boy grew up listening to his record collection. So their musical influences are a lot like the bands of the 60s and 70s. From the start, the got dinged by Zep fans for sounding like a "cover band". The first time I heard this song I wondered if it was a lost Zep track. It's not like they grew up in a vacuum. Yes, they heard Zep songs and naturally those songs became some of their many influences. Same as Zep built their songs on a foundation of blues and grew from that, GVF has also evolved. Their more recent music is definitely different and wholly their own. So, I think the whole comparison to Zep that this song written when they were in their early teens should no longer color peoples expectations. BTW, the bass player also does keyboards on some of their songs and uses bass pedals to fill in the foundation for the rhythm. At the risk of another Zep comparison, John Paul Jones, the bassist for Zep, also plays keyboards.

If im not mistaken, the intro they play here (which im completely sure is not original from "Highway Tune"), is the chorus intro riff of "Brave New World", the 9th track of their next album "Anthem of The Peaceful Army". It is also a GVF must listen because the vocals are insane. I love how the albums interconnect to each other.

Heat Above, glad you finally took a listen to them, i know i have been recommending them to you for a while now haha. Awesomeness.

I was so excited when I saw the title of this video! Seen them 3 times in concert and plan on seeing them more!
