I’ve Discovered the Music of My Soul!
by Makayla B on 5/30/24LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. When I say this is an experience worth paying for, I absolutely mean it! So, usually, rock isn’t my genre. I listen to a lot of everything, and rock was (for some reason) not usually my first choice. My sister introduced me to Greta Van Fleet almost a year ago. I liked them! But again, rarely my first choice. For Christmas, my dad purchased GVF concert tickets and told us that come May 12th, we’d see them live! I was extremely excited, but more for the experience than the music itself. My sisters were counting down the days and I was just happy to be a part of their excitement. Then, the day arrived. The week before had been significantly rough for my family, so we were all thrilled to be getting away. Parking was a breeze. The staff was kind and extremely helpful. We walked in, scanned our tickets and jumped right into the merch line. We arrived a little later than expected, allowing us only a little bit of time to hear Mirador’s performance. But what we heard was absolutely incredible! It was then that the wheels in my head began to turn; processing Jake’s talent, making me all the more excited for Greta Van Fleet’s show. Once we’d checked out, new shirts in hand, we made our way to our seats, where we’d spend the next few hours. My family and I chatted while Geese performed, talking about the potential set list that GVF would lay out for us. Then the lights dimmed. The fans grew louder. The Starcatcher banner fell, concealing the nights main attraction. My sisters and I grew giddy. The music amped up. From where we were sitting, we were able to see the boys climbing up the stairs and onto the stage. Then the banner dropped, revealing the band whom I now know, has written the music that I’ve truly connected to. Josh’s showmanship was absolutely amazing. Bringing a genuine smile to not only my face, but every face I could see around me. The visual effects were a heart-racing sight to behold. The occasional burst of fire or flashing of lights only building the excitement in the stadium. Jake’s guitar solos were a mesmerizing display; the way he moved so confidently across the stage made me more confident in my small presence there. Danny’s skills are absolutely incredible. He knows how to keep the crowd moving! Sam’s talent on both piano and bass is stunning. Finally, Josh’s vocals are phenomenal! If it didn’t baffle me through Apple Music, it baffled me standing there only a few feet from the stage! He is so talented and I’m so thankful I’m alive to hear it! If anyone is considering spending the money, making the drive, or even dealing with the traffic that comes with seeing the four of these incredibly handsome and talented young men, I HIGHLY recommend you go through with it. You won’t have a single regret!
