Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo Get All Fired Up at Fallsview

The Vindys, opening the evening, made a strong impression. Jackie Popovec’s vocals were powerful yet easy on the ears, and the band’s original songs were met with genuine enthusiasm. Their musicianship and stage presence suggested a group ready for bigger stages.

Their closing cover of Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” was a bold choice that paid off. The Vindys put their own spin on the classic, showing off their range and earning a standing ovation. It’s clear why they were chosen for this tour—this is a band with real potential, and their performance at Fallsview proved they’re more than up to the challenge.
