Thank you, Fil. Your channel is my music education and my music appreciation. You do more good than you will ever know. God bless you. Plus, your smile is like a light that turns on. So special.

I love the way you have your own style and can still tell when someone totally different is good at what they do.

Zac is a great performer. Honest. No airs. That's why his fans stay loyal. I don't know if he still does, but a few years ago he would bring new artists on stage to play a few of their songs. Very generous with up and coming talent.

Zac Brown is someone I have only heard OF, never really heard or seen a live performance like this! Why are my eyes all wet?

Great band, no glitz just talent. Saw them perform at the Lincoln County Fair in Afton, Wyoming a couple of years ago. Perfect venue, the stage set in front of the rodeo ring, audience on bleacher seating. Some dust, beer in Solo cups, cowboy boots and hats, smell of horses, nothing better. Fil, thank you for giving attention, respect, and some love to the country artists!

Love it Fil..! many great Zac Brown tunes. I LOVE that he brings in Van's GREAT tune "Into The Mystic"..!!! Colder Weather and Highway 20 Ride are both Fantastic songs..! He also does a great cover of "Can't You See" with Kid Rock..!

What a fiddle player! Strong traditional Irish-esque intro. Fantastic tone. Subtlety and nuance, fluid note transitions, ease of attack...like Fil said sets the mood. Truly sublime playing.

I had never heard of Zac Brown until now, but after seeing this, I really like their sound. Thanks for introducing me to new music!

Thanks Fil! I enjoyed your reaction and I really enjoyed listening to ZBB. They definitely are talented! 👍💕🎸🥁

Hi Fil! I love how you can switch from different styles of music, and still know all about each one! Love country music too! If you have never visited Nashville you must put it on your list! So alive with the sounds of music everywhere! Zac Brown has to be one of the best country musicians to come on the scene! Thanks for your analysis on this one! Have a beautiful week, and always keep that smile!

This is the music that lets you just sit back and feel it! Thanks for this one Fil!!!

Awesome analysis as always. :)

Wow, simply wow!

I can't recall how I was turned onto Wings of Pegasus but it is one of the true benefits of KZfaq. I'll keep coming back...rock!

Thanks Fil! Zac is such a dynamic performer live.

Fil, This was an excellent video and analysis. Thank you for sharing your love and knowledge of music with us./m\

This music just makes me feel good. Thank you.

Having see the ZBB a couple times, You are right, no need for any auto tune.

Did I say this before? Love that your appreciation of music shows on your face. Your analyses are so enjoyable because you have so much enthusiasm.💕

Love the way you analyze artists from a producer/arranger perspective.... details are everything. Cheers

Nice song 😍😍😍Yes Fil this song so peaceful

Really good Fil. I love slow sensitive songs best...love it.

"Cold Beer on a Friday Night"..talented Band/Musicians.....thanks Fil

Am a video engineer by trade, actually know Zac's video director. It's a great camp & they all deserve to be successful, the shows are solid entertainment.

Auto tune is the worst 'invention' in the music industry. Robs true artists of authentic performances.

Greetings from Texas. I agree that live performance and stage presence take years to get efficient with. Experience goes a long way because if something messes up mid-performance, then that “experience” factor naturally kicks in and the general listener won’t really notice. Good stuff Fil!

I agree with everything Linnaeus said. I would also add that I was THRILLED that you chose Zac Brown Band to do one of your awesome analyses on. THANK YOU, Fil!!!

Phenomenal in concert. Billed with Kenny Cheney and it’s a hell of a good time! Wish you could come to the US and go with us! It’s a party Fil! Epic selection!!!!! Rawk!

Keep preaching, Brother Fil. Zac Brown Band has a great sound. I have heard a few of their songs, but haven't done a deep dive into their catalog. 🤘🤘👍👍

Bravo ZAC, you have a new fan!!!

That was a great job you did, summing up a band I didn't know that well. Thanks Fil !!

Thank you, Fil!! This is one of my favorite's (possibly, my fave.. given how intensely it grabs my attention and moves me) of the Zac Brown Band and this performance is so rich given its live, performed so well with the dynamic quality you mentioned, and then, Van Morrison's Into the mystic (another phenomenal song..) bit is spliced in. Wow! Wish I could have shared that in-person concert experience! Best to you!

Seen Zac open for the Eagles in San Diego last year, he was awesome live, the Doobie Brothers also played that show

My favorite Zac Brown song. And within this song, my favorite is the fiddle/violin part. So pretty.:o) The whole song is like a journey. lol

Oh thank you Fil! I love Zac Brown Band! You are right, he is much too genuine an artist to need autotune.

Why are there ever ANY down votes on your videos? You are one of the most positive, level-headed channels on KZfaq.

Thank-you for the video & analysis Fil.... nice work ! I'm not a ZBB fan but I enjoy the variety of the channel 😎🎸 Keep the great video's coming and I'll be here every night ! " ROCK " 😆🤘

Every member of this band could be the absolute star of their own band and they never get in each other's way. They are amazing live

Yes! A go with the flow,on purpose lol.❤️ Thanks again Fil, your perspective is spot on . No auto tune,noooo. Express yourself.

.... There's so much in the lyrics and so much in the music as well ... Thank you , Dr. Fil.... Your way of looking at all these musicians through your eyes, your analysis is something that truly is part of " your Gifts", along with all of your own talent. I appreciate all the insight you bring to music. .. and when my middle daughter Ryan Marie took me to a concert ( BD surprise in 2010 , (when I was visiting Vegas )... Alan Jackson, with Chris Young as opening . ... Well .. Zac just happened to be in the house, and Alan got him up on stage, and oh my, it was fabulous. There's quite a few songs of his , I get teary eyes, to be honest.. ( Oh, that Scorpionic emotion runs deep, lol.... But it's well controlled , 😉🙂....) Nice video, I'm not sure I'd seen this one.

The violin is the only instrument I can think of that is called something else when used in country music. I don't really care for country music but this is a really good song here.

The wind and also a goofier song sic em on a chicken both really showcase the guitar talent in zbb very fast upbeat and fun to listen to

Love it!

This band has so many wonderful songs. I saw goodbye in her eyes has some really beautiful guitar and vocals.

Excellent

Now I understand why so many people love them. And we love you too Fil! You my sir are a "master" at what you do and again I will say you have such a good kind heart and a smile that melts your heart, whoever you fall in love with or maybe you already have is going to be the luckiest girl on the planet😊🤗😚😍

He sings like one of the Maines Brothers from Lubbock, Texas. Song called 'Break the Fall'. Love it. Just love it. Thank you.

Well done sir! Class is in session! Great and educational reaction 👌

Fil, Zac Brown Band is one that my son introduced me to several years ago, because I raised him on classic rock. "Dad, you'll really like these guys!" And yes indeed, I did and do! On the other song (Into the Mystic) we did that for many years in a cover band. We had ten members (3 guitar players, though I and another did not participate on guitar in this one, I just sang), keys, drums, bass, and four horns (but we only used trumpet for this one). One of my favorites to perform back then. FWIW, I've never used auto tune. Not a fan of that sound at all.

"Case Study" was an exceptional description. Nothing fancy but all moving as one. The meandering of the fiddle (?) @ the intro. Bass is warm. I love that slapping sound of this guy's hammer ons and pull offs. Great writing. Never would have listened to it if it wasn't for you. Thanks Mr. Fil✌️

Really nice performance :) awesome analyses Fil!!!

First time hearing "Zac Brown Band" I like what I am hearing. Your analysis are always full of insight. keep Rockin' with great analysis Fil.

Thanks Fil, never heard of this band before. So well balanced and the tone of the fiddle brings an ethereal quality to the performance. As always thanks for your analysis and contribution to the understanding of such performances. I now pronounce you Emeritus Professor of KZfaq world of music. Bringing light to the masses.. Thanks from down under...😇

Good stuff! I actually wish there was auto tune back in 1972. Maybe the high school girls would have liked me as much as the juniors!. Excellent dr fil!

ZBB has some great albums. And do some great covers. An Atlanta bar band made good. I use to listen to him at the Southern Comfort bar and Grill in Conley, GA. "96 to "99. Zac was a guest of the house band.

Nice!!!🎶🔥♥️🔥🎶

Couldn't agree with you more, Fil, when you said it's really difficult to play something simple really well as a cohesive unit. That goes for any music ensemble, no matter what it is. Loved all the points you brought out in this performance - and yeah, no auto tune needed here!

Zac Brown is amazing. Always loved them and the song Free is stellar. Into the Mystic has had my heart from the first time I heard it ( which is a very very long time) Something in this song has always touched my soul. To blend these two songs, genius♥️ Great analysis, Fil🤘♥️

Fill, I enjoy your expertise in music, and musicianship, but I really like your appreciation of all kinds of musical genres. The point is that good music is good music. Thanks for doing these vids.

One can hear the Irish roots, :)

Great easy listening band with awesome vocals and so seasoned! I really like how Zac Brown and band keeps the audience so captivated! Damn auto tune has to rear its ugly head again! Brilliant Fil! Cheers Mario! 😀🤘👌

The great build up.. Tag along .. Brotherrrrrrr

Professor Fil Zac Brown Band is pretty easy listening, like it when Zac plays with Jimmy Buffet. Nothing wrong with this version at all, Jeff in LA USA

Wishing you a great Holiday Season Fil. Another great video.

Hey Fil, greetings from China. Love your show. Keep up the good work. Would love to hear your thoughts on The Eagles, " take it to the limit" featuring Randy Misner.

I compared you with JRR Tolkien with the journey's that you lead us on, and today's video was an epic adventure. This was the Hobbit's witnessing the Elves's ship sailing over the Sea to their land, but they had a cold beer to drown their tears. I used to work with Auto-tune back in the 1970's when I started out as a juggie on an oil exploration crew in the Rocky Mountain West. Geologists used it to listen to what the Earth was saying when they shook things up. That's how they find the oil which we are burning. I want to get rid of Auto-tune but also want to stop burning fossil fuels. Which explains my worries about the energy used in the music industry.

Very nice Fil !

...One of Nashville's finest...the I-Phone catching this has outstanding audio...and video for that matter

Free as will ever be.. Brotherrrrrrr.

At last one of my favorite bands You know how long I’ve been waiting for you to cover this Band Mr Pegasus and your mighty wings ? (yep that’s what you’re fans are - literally the wings of Pegasus) a mighty long time, that’s how long ! Now when are you finally gonna review that Brothers Osborne link I gave you ????? Please make sure its that one or a similar quality video thank youuuuuuu

Spot on analysis Uncle Fil!! Did you hear Zak's version of Harmony off Goodbye yellow brick road? I LOVE how this guy wears his influences on his sleeve

First And wish peeps would get rid of auto tune...

Merry Christmas fil....

SUCH a beautiful song. That violin intro...😍😍😍 That's a great song to sing and exercise your vocals to as well. If you ever sing it thru, you'll understand Zach's zeal twd the end. It does that😃 (You should consider analyzing Mumford and Sons.) Thx Fil 🎻🎤🎸

Please!!do Don Felder!

Great video(as always)Love a good analysis ! Going to make a very odd recommendation but you should check out Rev. Peyton's. Big Damn Band

Zac Brown always takes me back to James Taylor.

I've heard of Zac Brown but this is pretty much my intro to him. Country is not my goto music, but I love me some bluegrass/neo-traditional and this edges close to those. Knowing how much you like Billy Strings I REALLY have to suggest you look into some Alison Krauss and Gillian Welch, you won't be sorry.

I would love to see you do somethign from The Avett Brothers.

Hey Fil... love your videos... have you seen videos by a guy named Junior Brown! He’s an old fart but I just found his video’s... he plays an electric guitar that somehow mated with a steel guitar! Good grief he’s good! :)

Saw them do this song in Iraq around 2010... was definitely my favorite part of the show (being the huge Van Morrison fan that I am)...well, either this or Big fat b###h, lol!

Very good. Dunno why, but it reminds me of Steve Earle at the top of his game. Can we have some Steve Earle please?

Wish I liked country western music more.. I enjoyed your analysis, Fil..

Good Analisist Coment Bro : Fil*🌠 Wing Of Pegasus🌠 - Zack Brown Band 1970. : Bigolive Show By - Wing Of Pegasus🌠 ...... Cheerio.🌠🎼🎸🎼🌠👍👍👍🌠🌟🌠.

Autotune as an effect and as a fix are completely different functions performed by the same tool. Much like a paint brush can be used to apply paint, but can also be used to sweep up the dust from sanding a door before painting it. That said, I was personally tired of that cliche effect 20 years ago.

Industry Execs always sang Mutt Lange’s praises...he produced and made it very difficult for Artists to perform live because he made them push their vocals then, doctored them up. That is why Joe Elliot and Shania Twain was not very good live. Mutt did a great injustice. As his prime time has past, was he really as good as he thought he was? Especially now when we are hearing great vocalist now that Country has a broader audience.

I wish people would shut up , and listen , and love the music .

Fil could you do an analysis of a-ha Take on me? Thank you 💖

Have you done a Tedeschi Trucks Band reaction? Midnight in Harlem would be a good intro. I’m sure you know Derek trucks already though

Another great breakdown! Fil I get the feeling that you like young artist trying to start out and that you appreciate some of the differences that country music brains to the table. I would highly recommend this young lady to you to watch and maybe review. She lives up in Tennessee where Jack Daniels was born! She dances plays the fiddle and sings all at once! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mbmDppd8uqmpdHk.html

Anyone contemplating getting involved with the Music industry should be directed to your channel for an insight into what signing on the dotted line entails. If they want total freedom without intrusion of publicists and industry technicians aka "keeping it real" then your channel is a valuable source of information and advice. I personally feel the Music industry in general is the enemy of raw talent. Don't get me started on how they try and succeed in sexualising their young female signings.

Please review Tina S. as she plays “For the Love of God.”

Anytime you get blocked, search for a terrible performance of the artist and break it down.

Hey Fil, found this old video of B.B. King you might like: m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gr18dKSrtKjTcn0.html

like his version of mystic, analysed as usual very well.. thought the drums were in a cave.. weird sound!

Another master class, Fil. Have you done an analysis of this one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lbZ2oKqayLWplY0.html

It seems auto tune is useful for one of those dancing singer girls. Man you know how hard it would be to run a hundred yard dash and then sing God Save the Queen. This guy isn't Ted Nugent, so unless he doesn't want any mistakes, he probably doesn't need it.

But Phil, staying within your range won't win you those all-important talent contests.(extreme sarcasm) talent shows are ruining the artistic community. Just my opinion.

I didn’t realize you covered Bro-Country. Thumbs down

Zac Brown wanting to be his father wasn’t. Shortly after the birth of how 5th child Zac was arrested in a hotel trying to score weed, prostiutes. Why did you quit on your family. Do NOT dribble on your sad excuse of you needed to be free. Just leave your family like your father did. Blazz our. You do you and to hell with your family. Lodie
