![]() GRETA VAN FLEET, RIVAL SONS In Anaheim, CA With Photos! ![]() By Chris "Chili" Pirri, So Cal Contributor Saturday, April 1, 2023 @ 9:21 AM ![]()
Friday night in Orange County, California where a plethora of bands are playing throughout the city, now add in Los Angeles to that mix and you have triple the options to choose from. This was the show I wanted to be at. A concert that was supposed to happen last year in November. However the show was rescheduled to March 24th of this year due to the lead singer of GRETA VAN FLEET (Josh Kiszka) having a busted ear drum. Lining up outside the arena there was a buzz, and why not, it’s been four months of waiting for this night to finally arrive.
Opening up the concert was RIVAL SONS, a band that was formed right here in Southern California not too far from the arena. The band took to the stage and immediately got the crowd fired up with their big hit “Do Your Worst”. Lead singer Jay Buchanan was electrifying and owning the stage with his thunderous vocals. The band was very impressive and I wish their set could’ve been a little longer. We did get to hear two new singles from their new album Darkfighter that releases on June 2nd. They were “Rapture” and “Nobody Wants To Die”. This was my first time seeing the band and it definitely will not be my last.
GRETA VAN FLEET is a pure all rock and roll show. The band has such stage presence and you can feel how much they love to perform. As for the lead singer Josh Kiszka he is awe inspiring. Josh is a complete showman. Let me put it this way. He has the capabilities to maneuver the crowd like Tom Jones. The moves and stage presence of Elvis Presley. All with a voice of Robert Plant. The band as a whole ensemble reminded me of a young AEROSMITH, full of spunk and great music.
If either of these bands head to your town I highly recommend seeing them. I was fortunate enough to see them on this night together. This was a tremendous show and the best concert I’ve been to this year.
