My husband and 2 grown sons were there. Our first concert together as a family unit. They were amazing!!! Rock is alive and well.

[@jameschapman7284]

And Amen to that!

[@justareview6300]

[@TheMRdatnewnew]

About how long did they perform ?

[@camilagonzalezzz]

this and the edge of darkness solo puts the band in a superior level

[@camilagonzalezzz]

@Michael i'm talking about this kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2SQmYWio7FpoLM

[@thegreyman4920]

Jake's guitar work here puts him into legendary status for me. Please be on the new album!

[@woodsmanghost4081]

tHe GrEy MaN I don’t say that much or if any but totally agree 💯

[@jodiemcginnishester3484]

YEP!!

[@Francks_]

I DO need this song in some album, I love the Melanie's version but they really honored her with this masterpiece

[@joekrinsky2110]

Easy with the legendary status hes no jimmy page yet

[@gentleblasphemy9394]

I can NOT WAIT for the new album!!! A single is supposed to be out in the next week or two🤞 so the album is on it’s waaaay!!!

[@carolynmoore6332]

I can't get enough GVF! This is the best band to come along since the 70's. The decade which made some of the greatest rock bands ever. Their music is reminiscent of that era but fresh and original. The bands talent is extraordinary for such a young band and exceeds many well seasoned rock giants. Jake has skills with the guitar that are unbelievable, he is a true master and Josh has a voice that stands out among any other, powerful, soulful and entrancing. Each and every one of the guys has his own unique blend of talent and style that mesh together into the perfect blend of rock, soul & R&B, they definitely "got it right"! Plus every one of the guys are very good to look at, hotties one and all. Love them, love their music and hope they are around for a very, very long time. They have become my favorite band of all time, even above Zepplin & Pink Floyd and that's a mighty bold statement!

[@joekrinsky2110]

They are no led zeppelin let's get that straight once and for all they must progress much more to even come close but I like the way they are now their kids give them a chance to find their own identity they'll get there if they are ment to carry on boys

[@jillstarkel4425]

Ditto! Well said!

[@mariangelesrobles4276]

after more than a year of discovering GVF, I still come back to this video. All the time. Amazing.

[@HiAmy]

Still my favorite. He makes the guitar (and me) weep.

[@Francks_]

This is a f*cking masterpiece!!! Doesn't matter if it's a "cover", they just used part of the lyrics, all the rest is completely different

[@kptlt.phillipthomsen5973]

Its not really a cover if you're using just lyrics

[@brianna_vasquez84]

man deserves every award he gets. he is so fantastic. i cant put it into words truly amazing.

[@carolyndefiore874]

This band just continues to grow, and keeps on amazing their fans. Carry on GVF!!

[@tanyaprice3450]

Just heard these guys for the first time......LOVE THEM!!!!!! #HOOKED!

[@barbaralyons2790]

One of THEE best videos of Black Flag! Love the change up Jake did!

[@LCro958]

Good God that man can make that guitar talk. I am so in love with his playing, it brings so much joy and it makes my heart full. ✌🏻💕

[@conbillis9023]

Rock is back at its super best! It's been a long time!

[@ardrummerboy]

Thank you thank you for posting this! I was there last night and too much in the moment to record anything. I thought my head was going to explode during this jam!!!

[@woodsmanghost4081]

Sitting on a deer stand jamming this until daybreak and burning a joint. Wicked Sweet ! Jake’s guitar work is legendary. Rock & Roll Hall of Famers !

[@alexrimmer4827]

this is the best comment ive ever read

[@cherylkearns7102]

Still my favorite Greta video of all time! Thanks Michelle 💜

[@henrybadd5866]

These guys are great while standing in their own shoes . Not many arrest can lay claim to that! Takes awhile for the public to catch up. Only 3 dislikes on the video. I'm sure it's not from someone that don't like them. It's someone that does! They just don't like the video or are one of them that just have to go across the grain. Be different in anyway possible. I'd just wish they'd give a little feed back with it. GVF Just might be that band all of us ol timers can really enjoy along side of our rising youth. Bringing back a bit of classic with a shine and new twist. Dame great band!

[@reginakasakevics7891]

Jake is a madman!! 😘

[@thegreyman4920]

Damn, I know this is technically a cover, but this may be their best song yet. Can't wait to hear this studio track! Josh's scream and Jake's nasty solos all over this. Holy crap!

[@tannernagrone]

tHe GrEy MaN wait this is a cover?!

[@thegreyman4920]

@@tannernagrone Technically, but a lot of it is original. The music is completely different. You'll recognize these lyrics it borrowed, "We were so close, there was no room We bled inside each others wounds We all had caught the same disease And we all sang the songs of peace" Based on a song called Lay Down (Candles In The Rain) by Melanie from 1970.

[@alexpollock6932]

tHe GrEy MaN I always found that a little weird, that you’d take someone else’s lyrics, change the music (which is fine in a cover) but than name it something else. Led Zeppelin used to do the same thing with songs that were old at the time and got in trouble

[@AnthonyRitfw]

I was thinking that maybe they´re just using those lyrics during this pre album period, and that they have original lyrics for the studio version. Can´t wait to see what they will do with it!

[@jordannash153]

What's it a cover of???

[@kimhoush353]

Thank you for posting this! That was the best night, my first Greta concert. ❤❤❤

[@DrTommyRocks]

So many have tried ,,,,,,, to deliver a solid real ROCK sound and have fallen short, Not so with GVF,, These guys bring the music so many have been wanting,,,,,, thus their popularity with the masses, This band is destined for rock and roll immortality, Their sound is all theirs ,,,,, they own it and express it ,,, powerfully and with such joy in the delivery of it to their fans,,,,,, Peace,

[@marija.vujkov]

[@jillstarkel4425]

Best band from my backyard... I haven't seen that talent since Zeppelin. So proud of my local band. If you don't know them I feel sorry for you. Keep rockin! Old souls in this new generation!

[@mariahkaminsky4247]

Early "Weigh of Dreams" :)

[@bb-us4ew]

Jake is on his way to being a guitar great

[@MizMite2002]

a cover of hells bells would be cool

[@sacequeensny5311]

This is called "Weight of dreams "

[@mdobbins]

Now it’s called Weight of Dreams. When they used to play this live they used lyrics from Melanie’s “Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)” and called it Black Flag Exposition. They later recorded it with new lyrics for the Battle at Garden’s Gate and then called it Weight of Dreams.

[@susanyoung6632]

I hate the blue light - I want to see Jakes fingers on the frets!

[@DMK717]

BETTER THAN JIMMY PAGE ???

[@danielwatson5106]

Ahh not Page Ahh Not Plant

[@noname.___]
