It has been a little more than three years since I have been able to photograph a show at the Centre Bell. Sure, 'The Plague' may have had a lot to do with that, but as a photographer unattached to any media other than The Old Blog, my odd of getting in to the place are slim. I still keep plugging away and asking though, and I managed to get myself back into the building. Greta Van Fleet were in town and headlining the show, and their management crew were kind enough to grant me a pass to shot the concert. Greta Van Fleet burst upon the world stage a few years ago. The group consist of three brothers (Josh, Jake & Sam Kiska) and their drum playing friend Danny Wagner. Their sound is very mid-60s rock and several comparisons have been made, for better and for worse, between their sound and that of legendary band
Led Zeppelin. Without getting carried away in comparisons, I have very much enjoyed their discography, which includes their latest album, The Battle At Garden's Gate, which was released last year. I'm not the only one who enjoys their music either, and there was a story in the local media about a group of girls who made their way up for the concert and ended up camping out in front of the Centre Bell so that they could get to the very front of the General Admission section in front of the stage. With dedication like that, and some good songs already on record the band is sure to continue their successful run. The first photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/2000sec, ISO 3200 at 55mm and the second photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/1000sec, ISO 3200 at 70mm. Here are several more photographs that I took of their performance.
