Blind bluesman Robert Finley was accompanied by a five-piece band including his daughter, who backed him on vocals and helped him off the stage. But the band has plenty of years to work on that.īefore Greta Van Fleet’s set, the audience was treated to two enjoyable opening acts. He’d need more subtlety- and melody - to approach the genius of, say, Robert Plant. At times that worked, while at other times, his voice at the highest register sounded too much like a screechy squawk. The singer was barefoot and aspired to a theatrical style akin to Elton John or Queen’s Freddie Mercury, but that often just meant waving his arms in the air. Josh Kiszka, sporting a thin ’70s moustache, started the evening wearing a gauzy, flowing cloak. “Heat Above,” which sounded a great deal like Rush, espoused the band’s New Agey message about collective love. “Safari Song,” a blues rocker that appeared in the movie “Aquaman,” opened with a Led Zeppelin-like wail and jungle-style drums from Wagner, who closed the song with an athletic drum solo. “Black Smoke Rising” had a prog-rock like feel with an eye toward a dystopian future.
