Greta Van Fleet - Heat Above

I don't know how I have gone so long without hearing these guys play, but doing this reaction to Heat Above, by Greta Van Fleet, was world changing for me. I love this music.

Im 65. Saw them in concert end of last year. Blown away. Talent was through the roof. I danced and sang like i was 17 again.

[@bendobbing7015]

They're incredibly talented, Josh has one of the most powerful voices of the last 20-30 years. I'm excited to see where they go next :)

[@DanFromHali]

Very unique, and powerful voice. Hes got a really dynamic range in him do by the sounds of things. Can't wait to hear some more.

[@pennymathews5889]

Yes. You did say a decade. Obviously it’s your channel and you can do as you please but it’s also my choice not to watch it. No love lost either way. Especially when it’s my choice to watch reactions of people who truly do not know one thing and say it or people who educate themselves and give educated information; rather than listening to misstatements.

[@annasnowden7758]

I just found these guys a week ago and I am blown away. I've listened to everything I could find, watched every interview related to them, I mean I buried myself. One thing I've decided , at least my opinion, is that this band is actually better live. I've never before said that about any band, ever, in my life. I'm 63. Flower Power, live at Red Rocks, is underappreciated. I love these guys.

[@Staboogie777]

Every single song they do live is absolutely amazing 💯♥️♥️

[@juliemanarin4127]

Zeppelin were magnificent live!

[@billzimmerman5464]

@@juliemanarin4127 they were a mixed bag, depending on how messed up they were. I saw them the first time in 1970, they were raw and unique. A bit high for sure. Later performances ranged from great to f'd up. GVF will likely be just as accomplished ad they mature into their music. I love them both!

[@Cathidee]

Yes indeed!

[@Staboogie777]

Your face when hearing him sing is all of us old people. The rock Gods have blessed us 💯♥️♥️

[@DanFromHali]

I just recorded a couple of more GVF reactions, and its the same thing. They just keep impressing me. And it's not just Josh's vocals. The whole band feels like they are completely out of time. Even if they do get inspiration from some amazing bands from the past, its still so unique, because there is nobody out there making music like this. Like, I reacted to broken bells, and there was a guitar solo, and it hit me realllllly hard that I don't remember the last new song that I heard that had a really great guitar solo.

[@juliemanarin4127]

I agree 100%. Ultra talented and 70s rock is back!

[@tomahawk5118]

I also hear a little Black Crowes sometimes. Definitely LZ, Rush, Boston prominent. I also recently discovered them at 56 years old and maybe there’s hope for music in the future. We need more of this!

[@jerrimiller6636]

Thank god this beautiful rock sound is back ,!!

[@mlehook4859]

It's crazy how their live performancs are somehow better than their recordings. Sam's baselines are magic, Josh's vocals are astonishing and Jake is a rock god in the making. They released the new album, but couldn't tour due to the pandemic, so all of these live performances have been a godsend. They have a dedicated fan base called The Peaceful Army, the more you learn about these guys, the more you love 'em. Subscribed. Keep listening to GVF!

[@DanFromHali]

Theres a few groups like that, that just perform better out of studio. Sometimes studios put too much work in to polishing a song with a studio sound. Raw is often better when you have musicians that really know what they are doing.

[@davefagerstrom]

Same. I found them a few weeks ago and have classic rock taste buds too. Great band. Lots of haters out there for whatever reason, but I think they're great.

[@longcastle4863]

One of the best bands out there right now. And they put on a great live show.

[@TricieBeline]

Found them in 2017 and that’s when the obsession started. There is a wealth of good music on your horizon with Greta Van Fleet. Also, if you have the opportunity, see them live. They are incredible and once you go to a show, you won’t be able to stop! Keep digging into their stuff, this is just the tip of the iceberg. It’s all really good stuff.

[@jacoblarmore3388]

Greta Van Fleet is awesome! And they are so good live! Check more of them out! Look at Broken Bells live candle light session!

I dare say there will be more. This kind of shook me aha!

[@g04922]

Glad he picked up on the organ.... It is Sam's Father's old Concord Hammond that Sam found in their garage, repaired it and started to play. Great story. Awesome talent.,, Pleased he liked Dan's drumming too... the man is a beastly drummer.

[@ageofadversity]

Love your smile when you realize how fantastic they are!!! I did the same thing.

[@isabellaoflaherty4224]

definitely check out their live performance of "age of machine" !

[@lemonlover6559]

I call this song, "The Full Meal Deal", you get all the emotions packed into one 5 minute song. You come out on the other side renewed, in a way that you don't know what hit you ! You should listen to the Official Video, it has an Angelic quality to the chorus's ( I don't think you could review this one for copyright restrictions) but you should hear this version.

[@blueberry5878]

I loved your reaction, great point about drums. Sam that is playing organ here is their bassist so I recommend Built by nations to hear them with bass. Amazing too. All of their music to be honest😁

[@wendyrosson27]

I was really surprised by this myself. And genuinely shocked that I haven't listened to them before, or that people who have, didn't recommend them to me based on my taste in music. Because this is me, all day, every day. I love this stuff.

[@filipsimanic6466]

You don't know them

[@billzimmerman5464]

I agree, amazing! This new album is definitely a progression in their maturity as musicians and as a band. These young guys will be incredible in their prime.

They’d absolutely KILL it at the Super Bowl

[@ashmar6204]

I recommend reacting to any of their live candlelight session performances. A bit of different feel to the songs, performed with strings.

Ill definitely keep that in mind. Thanks!

Love the live Josh performances... hopefully he keeps his voice healthy. They have some recent audience filmed live shows...including this song. they are pretty good overall.

[@DanFromHali]

Thanks for checking this out. I have a couple more reactions to GVF recorded. Neither are with a proper audience, but I have Broken Bells, and Stardust Chords recorded and getting ready to be edited. I love watching them do this, and Josh is SOOOOO unique as far as vocals go.

[@johnpitera9926]

Great reaction! Just saw them a few days ago. It was an amazing show!!! The crowd was on their feet from start to finish. Definitely a must see concert when they come to your area!! By the way you have a new subscriber

I can't wait to see them!

[@rondiacarman376]

Please do Flower Power Live from Red Rocks! This band is the best live band I’ve ever seen! Hands down!

[@joefunsmith]

I think one of the strengths of GVF that is rarely discussed is how they have very little in the way of weaknesses. The band was formed in 2012 IIRC when they were around 12 to 14. As such, they are really tight. Each member is skilled at their position. The compositions and arrangements produce songs that flow so very well. Whoever does their studio recording engineering, mixing, etc. seems top notch. And on the road, their audio team seem, if anything, better. Could be the same people. On top of all that, they seem like deep, compassionate souls.

[@MichaelReiter]

I've never heard of them unil now. Very interesting and high pitched voice. You should check out Loïc Nottet who is also high pitched and his unique voice is sometimes called androgynous. But Josh's voice sounds even higher.

[@farhanmandani]

Loved your thoughts and insight into the comparison between their style and influences from the past. This is my favorite song by them! Would love to see you react to more. Black smoke risking, Highway Tune, When the Curtain Falls, all of their music is amazing…

[@JTHeidrick]

By the way that organ you're loving so much, the bass notes are being played by his feet!! Watch him closely. Sam is playing the keyboard up top and the lower organ notes with his feet underneath.

Fair analysis

[@BigBullFunkadelik]

First they sound too much like Led Zeppelin then someone says they sound like Rush and this guy says they sound like rush before he even starts singing come on now dude idk why people don't give these kids a break and just keep comparing them

[@DanFromHali]

Because thats how my mind works. There is nothing wrong with comparing a sound. It happens in music all the time... Hell, comparisons happen in art all the time... Be it painting techniques, writing/prose style, cinematography. Comparisons happen. It doesn't mean that I don't respect that they are their own individual artists. Why dont you just stop typing, and listen to me gush over how much I enjoy them, until the end of the video? Look. Ive never heard them before. Didn't know what to expect. And thats what happens. Its how my mind processes things. And thats what reaction videos are about. Its about a person, speaking out what their mind is processing. Don't like it, take a hike. Next.

[@pennymathews5889]

Please do some research. This band has not been around for a decade. Their ages are currently between 22 and 25 years old. Their first EP was released November 2017 for which they won a Grammy. This song you just listened to was released in 2021.

[@DanFromHali]

I dont think i said they were around for a decade did i? And also, no. I don like doing in depth research prior to listening to a group. I dont do that until I get to know the music more. It makes the reaction more genuine.

[@wavymidnight1642]

This band was formed in 2012 in Michigan. They were signed in 2017. Yes they have been around for a decade.

[@nateo2131]

That is not an organ. That is a Hammond B3 with a Leslie speaker. The keyboard power of many rock performers of the 1960's and 1970's. Thus far in my experience if a performance includes a Hammond/Leslie combination I will love it.

[@DanFromHali]

The Hammond B3 IS an organ. It's an electric organ, but still an organ. Laurens Hammond is very famously an organ manufacturer and the B3 electric organ was actually developed to replace costly pipe organs in churches.

[@nateo2131]

@@DanFromHali I am well aware of what a B3 is. I was commending the creativity/ability of a B3 with a Leslie speaker. My comment was more in the context of this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYjPaXiYg7NrhK8 I have yet to hear any genre of music that I did not like when there has been a keyboard player who knows how to light up Hammond/Leslie combination. Old technology, yet such a standard.

[@popeyesgal]

It's really enjoyable to hear other's reactions to music. The thing i dislike is the constant stop and start of the song. Listen to the whole song to get the whole effect and then go back and critique.

[@DanFromHali]

Have you ever listened to a lecture, no recorder, no notes, and have to wait until the end of the lecture to ask questions? A lot of people have a hard time remembering things. The reason this happens is two fold, and one of them is purely selfish. 1) Copyright claims are easier to avoid this way. 2) I want my thoughts to be fully formulated and I don't want to forget some things that I picked up, by continuing on and maybe getting excited by something else instead. Most - not all - people who watch reaction videos have already heard the song before, and seen the video. From a viewers standpoint, I understand why this might be annoying. I used to hate it as a viewer myself. But KZbin's terms for fair use state that we cannot use copyright materials in a way that is meant to replicate the material as a secondary means of consuming the material. This is a reaction video. It's about the reaction itself. I also understand that you sometimes get frustrated because I or other reactors might pause just before there is something cool... but we don't know that. Anyway, I will never not do this. Also this might be the first time I've responded to a comment on my channel in about a year. So that's how much I care about the integrity of the reaction video genre. Pauses are necessary.

[@afaceforradiowithrichardma4831]

Decade ? Try like 4 years my friend

2014 Was their real break-out year, although they got together in 2012. In 2016 their 2013 song, Highway Tune was featured in a season 6 episode of Shameless. 2014 was still 7 years, which to me, is the better part of a decade.
