  If you notice their audiences of their 2022-23 tour, you see teenagers to 70 year olds coming back to hear the sound they used to like.

  As a big rock n’ roll (and Led Zeppelin) fan, I went to their concert in Frankfurt last year in the middle of “The Battle at The Garden’s Gate” tour. I can&apos;t still believe having witnessed such rich live rock music in 2022. My whole life, I thought this kind of live rock concert belonged just to the ’70s and ’80s. Jake’s improvisations of each song on the album were magnificent, specially The Weight of Dreams and Broken Bells. I don&apos;t care which band they try to be like or get inspired by, but the existence of bands like theirs is crucial nowadays so that new generations can understand how Rock music tastes among all of this nonsense music that has occupied the mainstream now.

  The first time I saw them live, 5 years ago, was at a small venue in Dallas and Josh struggled to get through a 75 min set. His voice started giving out a bit before the end of the regular set, so the encore was a 20 min. jam of Lover, Leaver, Taker, Believer and Jake carried most of it. Now Josh can get through a 2.5 hour set and still sound strong and crystal clear. Kudos to that kid for all the hard work and sacrifices he&apos;s had to make to take proper care of his voice, so that we can all get goosebumps just listening to him.

  I can&apos;t stress enough that GVF are a live band. Once you see them live, the studio recordings will never hit the same. They are incredible. ❤

  I am 56 yrs old and been to hundreds of concerts in my lifetime. I went out of my way and drove 10 hrs to go see this band in El Paso on the last dreams in gold tour and I can honestly say it ranks as one of the best concerts I have ever seen Live. Rival Sons opened and they were no slouches either. they kicked ass. Greta is special so anytime someone is special the haters will come out in full force. There following is strong so it doesn&apos;t really matter.

  I always get a kick out of people knocking them for sounding like Zep. Bro, I listen to Stoner Doom Metal: every band sounds like Sabbath and no one says a thing. :face-orange-raised-eyebrow:

  i’ve never understood how sounding like led zeppelin is even remotely a bad thing.

  Agree! GVF unfortunately got a lot of negative criticism at the start. Which turned many people away from a great band. To my ears they bring a level of musicality that so many current pop acts cant touch.
