A few things. The mother switched to double bass from fiddle to put Katie upfront on fiddle. I love how she highlights the children. All the kids are also honor students. I've been watching them for years. They've got a full catalog on UA-cam and you can see them perform live in Branson, Missouri.
You are right about almost everything, except for one thing. Mom used to play the mandolin and not the fiddle. She switched to double bass to leave the mandolin to Julianne.
The peterson's are treasures. Their width and breadth are notable. From traditional blue grass to rock to humor to faith. One of my favorites. FYI: matt is the style manager of the group. And they all consider Emmet to be one of the family.
I have seen 8 or 9 reactions to the Petersen’s videos and you are the ONLY one who knew the whole band, their instruments, and really appreciated their musical talents. Many loved their voices, but no one knew their names or all of their instruments and had the appreciation you did. That speaks highly of you and your musical talent as well. Well done!👍
I've seen them live too, they do a great job. They were at a cowboy poetry event in Logan Utah March 2022. I even got my Octave Mandolin signed By Julianne.
I know it's kind of a trope, or cliché, how your favorite band is so under appreciated yada yada, but this actually comes true with The Petersens. Blows my mind they're not (yet) up there with Taylor Swift et alia! :D
I did sound for bluegrass and country bands when I was in high school in the 1970’s. I always marveled at how the bluegrass guys mixed their own by their proximity to the mics.
This is great to me because it is getting music back to being about music, instead of auto tune pitch perfect blah,blah,blah. Where a group of talented musicians come together and create something strikingly unique.
These guys are the last of the Mohicans (metaphorically speaking), they rely on absolutely nothing except hard-work, dedication, practice, and raw talent. The Peterson’s are probably the best live band that anyone could hear in person, great video and great analysis of a truly great group of people.
As someone who's heritage comes from Appalachia I feel bluegrass on a truly spiritual level. So many backyard get togethers, family reunions, church meetings, little restaurants with open mic night, big and small town music festivals, you name it are thankfully still happening across the USA with amazing talents on full display and LIVE, even if the mainstream doesn't give bluegrass a glance. Thank gawd you called it a fiddle lol 😆😆😆😆
Your integrity no doubt comes naturally to you, so you mightn't think it's a big deal, but videos like this highlight how vital your channel is for preserving the soul of music going forward. This is the best, and by far the most important, music channel on the net - thanks
@@wingsofpegasus Just discovered your great channel. Will now spend many enjoyable hours watching and learning from you. Here are some links you may find appealing...

I personally don't care if it's live or not, sure it's a big plus. I love the Peterson just because they are dressed nice, don't need show skins and stand for their faith - truly rebels in this days
This is probably one of your best analysis videos in my mind. What I love about you bro is you analyze every type of music no matter what the genre making you in my mind a true musician. I’m so glad I found your channel because it’s so refreshing to know a person like yourself. You definitely rock my man.
That's why I love Fil's channel so much. The joy on his face when he's watching other musicians perform is genuine...a real musician appreciating other musicians, regardless of their genre of music.
He also has one of the best comments sections on You Tube. I rarely see the usual YT trolls, it's people that like music or are musicians that have knowledge of all things music. Back when he had a smaller sub list, I would make it a point to read as many of the comments as I could, especially for bands I liked or came to like. I subbed when he had 13,000 people.
@@lawrencetaylor4101 And it's people of all ages. I'm in my 50's, and I see many comments from people in their 60's and 70's, as well as people much younger than me. It's the same with his livestreams...everyone is just really nice and respectful to Fil, to each other, and to the music/song/musician he's talking about. His channel is a very positive place. I know that if I watch a livestream or read through the comments on a video, it's always going to make me feel a little happier. As someone with extreme depression, I'm so glad that I found his channel...I know I'm going to feel a bit better after spending some time here. There are a few channels that I watch for the same reason...the trolls haven't seemed to find them, and they're just very positive spaces. When I'm having a bad day, something as simple as that can make it a whole lot better.
That slightly strong upstroke E of Matt's on verse 2 is precisely what makes a great musician. It's pure soul and I interpreted it as a release of emotion from being one with the performance.
Sooo much talent in one family! They don't get the recognition they deserve but lots of good music from The Peterson's! Thanks Fil for highlighting their talent!
Once again, I love seeing FIL smile when he likes something! This version by THE PETERSENS is great and does the song justice. LIVE music is the greatest.
I saw them on Saturday and they performed Bohemian Rhapsody live right down to the perfect harmonies, even without Ellen their banjo player, who is on maternity. In fact everything was just as they are on their videos except some of the playing was even better! Such a pleasure to see them live. Thanks for your channel Fil.
I absolutely LOVE the Petersens. They’re great musicians and human beings. Have been listening to them for a long while now. This is, by FAR the most technical, intelligent, music-knowledgeable, and BEST overall music review I’ve seen in the net! It’s soooo refreshing to find a reviewer like this musician, who doesn’t review using words like, “oh my god, this is so good” or “this music gives me goose bumps” or “wow, s/he/they can really play/sing,” that’s what we say, the viewers, that’s not a professional review, that’s just cheering. However, there are a lot of self proclaimed music reviewers who say exactly those words (specially, a Hispanic lady that comes to mind.) This man is a true music translator and teacher! Great job! I learned a lot!
The young man has a really nice tone in his voice if I can put it like that. His voice sounds lovely on those higher notes. Thankyou to all . Just finished listening. Their version of the song is great. Love it and I love their harmonies. Not to mention the quality of their music. :)
It's about time someone else I watch from time to time has discovered the Petersens. I tried to interest my family and friends at last gathering and they quickly shunned me. I listen to the hardest of the hard and the softest of the soft so no one can say I don't have a clue. They have musical instinct. It's amazing how their mom and dad just decided to have a band. They all seem smart too. Someday soon I hope to go to Branson to see them live.
Saw them recently at the Bush hall in London and in spite of being a banjo down , alas, were the best band l have ever seen . They are even better live so get yourselves along to see them . 😊😊😊
I didn't expect this! Thanks for reviewing The Peterson's! I've been watching this family for years and love them. They have improved so much! They are (to me) a perfect representation of the best of America. They have many beautiful songs.
This was really unique and beautiful - what a talented & skilled family. It sounds like I traveled back in time and taught Bohemian Rhapsody to bluegrass musicians.
Not sure who I admire more -the Petersens for taking on this song, or you Fil, for including this genre of music on your channel. I think both did a wonderful job of presentation and obviously there's a lot of talent in this whole production. Thanks so much for this video.
I have seen this version before but now with the ear plugs in I realise that it’s even better than I thought, and I already thought it was pretty damn good! ✅
Thanks for checking out the Petersens. You are so right that this kinda of performance is so rare. I agree with on how that don't try and be an imitation but make an original version. Not what I would normally listen to but really enjoy most there stuff plus they are just a pretty nice group. They live stream by the "kids" are pretty funny.
They have just about every type of strings - guitar, banjo, fiddle etc. This is rare to see a band like this playing a variety of unusual instruments and attempting one of the most offbeat songs ever. Gosh, I’m in awe 🫢 they nailed it. Thanks Fil for serving this feast up for our amazement.
You got it right with the word “refreshing”. Thanks Fil, and community for sharing this video. The Petersens have presented a unique (and refreshingly so) instrument sound and tempo with varied and beautiful vocals. A very fun, pleasant and new performance of this classic Queen.👏🤩
Thank you for reviewing and promoting the Petersens. They have become my favorite band for listening to with my two year old granddaughter. She loves trying to sing along.
So very cool. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I love how a piece of music can have more lives than a cat when given new interpretations by musicians with unique visions. That's what art is about.
I've been watching the Petersons for several years and they are without a doubt one of, if not the, single most talented family of musicians in the world today. Awesome to have you give them the props Fil!
It’s really nice to see young people with REAL talent, not just someone shaking their butt and lip syncing, this is the music we should be promoting and getting contracts, not what I see in the current pop music
Fil, you are doing yeoman’s work for music. Your genuine appreciation and love of all kinds of music comes through. Now I gotta go find the Peterson’s uninterrupted version! 😉🤙
You never cease to amaze me fine pegasus. I was very impressed with your natural voice and as always your bang on it. I love the Peterson's and you may have introduced a lot of people to some good stuff. Thank you
The reason I love your channel so much is because the joy on your face when you're watching other musicians perform is genuine. I believe that a truly talented musician is able to appreciate other truly talented musicians, regardless of the genre they perform in. It's what make watching your videos a real pleasure. 🎶😊 🎶
Been following The Petersons for a while. I think this is one of the best things they've done, although they're a pretty talented family and there's loads of good stuff on their UA-cam channel.
Been watching Peterson’s since they started their channel. Amazed to see them here on your channel. Brilliant musicians. Amazing family. Live out the values most people just talk about.
You could point out that they arranged and performed the portion of the song that Queen either played a pre-recorded track or skipped altogether during their live shows.
These guys have zero fear, and they are so creative. They have the natural vocal blend that genetics gifted them with as a family, but they really sweat the details and just do a great job. I've been following them for a few years, and I was AMAZED to see you doing a review of them. I literally did a double take. Good on you for taking them as they are and giving them credit for what they. have done here. You da man, Phil!!!
Looking at the comments I’m one of those who discovered the Petersens over lockdown. The only good thing to come out of that madness. Great band. Hope they make it to the UK one day.
I ran across these guys a while back and I was very impressed. Super talented group and yes they actually sing and play and sound that good playing live. It is rare these days.
Once again: You are a class act, Fil! The way you respect great music makes you a friend of mine! Well done! Greetings from Norway! PS: The way The Petersons end "Bohemian Rhapsody" is even more lovely than Queen's version, as far as I'm concerned!
Great content. The point that the arrangement keeps the touchstones that we “want to hear” is on point and highly perceptive. Totally correct, but I’d never considered that that’s what music lovers love to hear, in both repeated hearings and in covers. Fil never ceases to amaze me. He’s a gifted analyst. I hope people appreciate how rare this level of analysis is. Thanks, Fil.
I’ve watched several videos by The Petersons and loved them all, including this one, but I have to say that my favorite is You’re Still The One featuring Ellen.
These guys have been on my radar for a few years now, and I can tell you they're the real deal! I finally got to see them live in Grapevine, TX earlier this summer and they were absolutely awesome. I think Matt is phenomenal here. It can't be easy to cover Freddie Mercury, especially on this song but Matt sounds awesome doing it. The harmonies are pristine and beautiful. They are all very polished on their instruments too, and I love Emmett on that dobro. Can't wait to see them again and I'm hoping that will be soon.
Been following this family for a while. I love their music and talent. Katie is the arranger of the music. Ellen did go to Hollywood on American Idol. I love your analysis. There is nothing more refreshing than to hear a professional of another genre break down a performance and give it high praise.
I have just recently a few months back learned of this family, as they are great. Country/Blue Grass Bohemian Rhapsody is rare indeed. They pulled this off great. Having a family that can sing like they can and willing to play different instruments, as they can is a treat today. This is live Fil you mention, I would not know live from Memorex, I would have believed you talk about the mics they used and the building. These kinds of mics were used when radio had programs back before televisions were in households. The building would sub for a studio for the sound not having echo feedback. I am happy you put them on and gave support, thanks.
“Comfy bluegrass” - did I hear that right? I never encountered that turn of phrase before, and it’s clever and kind. Also it helps explain why I love the Peterson’s sound but sometimes need permission to relax into it.
Thank you for the kind words and sharing our video!
No problem guys! Thanks for the music!
Fantastic job, Petersens!
The Petersens I was hoping you would see this! I love this rendition so much!
How could he not heap massive amounts of praise on you guys? Nice to see you being analysed on this channel.
No, thank you, that was amazing
Live - No auto-tune - No pitch correction - Just talent!
And they are talented writers as well. Check out "That Ring Song". Very funny.
I know the Peterson's! Katie is my violin teacher! ❤️🥰Love their music! So beautiful! 🎶
Cool!
She also plays a 5 string violin, not so common.
I love Fil's big wide smile and shoulder wiggle as they begin their performance.
I love The Petersens and was so lucky to have them recommended by YT.
Oh, don't you just LOVE The Petersens?? I discovered them during the pandemic and their music really helped me through it.
A few things. The mother switched to double bass from fiddle to put Katie upfront on fiddle. I love how she highlights the children. All the kids are also honor students. I've been watching them for years. They've got a full catalog on UA-cam and you can see them perform live in Branson, Missouri.
You are right about almost everything, except for one thing. Mom used to play the mandolin and not the fiddle. She switched to double bass to leave the mandolin to Julianne.
Thank you for not cutting the song off until it is ACTUALLY completely finished, to silence.
The peterson's are treasures. Their width and breadth are notable. From traditional blue grass to rock to humor to faith. One of my favorites.
FYI: matt is the style manager of the group. And they all consider Emmet to be one of the family.
I have seen 8 or 9 reactions to the Petersen’s videos and you are the ONLY one who knew the whole band, their instruments, and really appreciated their musical talents. Many loved their voices, but no one knew their names or all of their instruments and had the appreciation you did. That speaks highly of you and your musical talent as well. Well done!👍
Thanks for turning us on to the Petersens! Real music, real smiles.
I have seen them in a live concert, they are totally above any group I have ever seen. They are so undiscovered.
I love them to the MAX!!!
I've seen them live too, they do a great job. They were at a cowboy poetry event in Logan Utah March 2022. I even got my Octave Mandolin signed By Julianne.

I've seen them do this song live. It is just amazing.
The Petersens are the real deal. A bluegrass band has to have something special to catch my attention. They have it in spades.
I did sound for bluegrass and country bands when I was in high school in the 1970’s. I always marveled at how the bluegrass guys mixed their own by their proximity to the mics.
This is great to me because it is getting music back to being about music, instead of auto tune pitch perfect blah,blah,blah. Where a group of talented musicians come together and create something strikingly unique.
Played with Matt (the lead singer) last week in a session in a small pub in Cork City
The Petersens are good! They have a whole channel packed with gems just like this.
Peterson's one of my favorite bands hands down easily.
I bet Freddie would love hearing this. They made it their own.
I'm always afraid to click on anything Petersen's, because I'll end up there all day long! :)
The Petersens are simply a lovely family and group.
These guys are the last of the Mohicans (metaphorically speaking), they rely on absolutely nothing except hard-work, dedication, practice, and raw talent.
The Peterson’s are probably the best live band that anyone could hear in person, great video and great analysis of a truly great group of people.
The crescendo on " any way the wind blows" is a professional grade subtlety. Really nicely done.
The triplets on the instrumental break. The flowing tempo. So many little details!
That’s because they sing in live shows 4 times a week, at least. Two gospel shows and two secular ones, they practice a lot ❤
Real performering musicians so rare these days - amazing job!
Your constant smile shows how much you really like this group. The smile was live too.
As someone who's heritage comes from Appalachia I feel bluegrass on a truly spiritual level. So many backyard get togethers, family reunions, church meetings, little restaurants with open mic night, big and small town music festivals, you name it are thankfully still happening across the USA with amazing talents on full display and LIVE, even if the mainstream doesn't give bluegrass a glance.

I used to see them perform on lower Broadway in Nashville. They are the real deal.
I saw the Petersons live last year in Branson, they are unreal live, great musicians

I hope people appreciate how rare this level of analysis is. Thanks, Fil.
That was a great version. I had to share it on my Facebook.
I’ve watched several videos by The Petersons and loved them all, including this one, but I have to say that my favorite is You’re Still The One featuring Ellen.
The Petersens are awesome! Seems like they can do a bluegrass version of almost anything. Check out their cover of Sting’s Fields of Gold.
These guys have been on my radar for a few years now, and I can tell you they're the real deal! I finally got to see them live in Grapevine, TX earlier this summer and they were absolutely awesome. I think Matt is phenomenal here. It can't be easy to cover Freddie Mercury, especially on this song but Matt sounds awesome doing it. The harmonies are pristine and beautiful. They are all very polished on their instruments too, and I love Emmett on that dobro. Can't wait to see them again and I'm hoping that will be soon.
I really liked the interplay between the fiddle and dobro at the end.
I love The Petersens and I enjoyed thoroughly the way you analized their performance.
Been following this family for a while. I love their music and talent. Katie is the arranger of the music. Ellen did go to Hollywood on American Idol. I love your analysis. There is nothing more refreshing than to hear a professional of another genre break down a performance and give it high praise.
I have just recently a few months back learned of this family, as they are great. Country/Blue Grass Bohemian Rhapsody is rare indeed. They pulled this off great. Having a family that can sing like they can and willing to play different instruments, as they can is a treat today. This is live Fil you mention, I would not know live from Memorex, I would have believed you talk about the mics they used and the building. These kinds of mics were used when radio had programs back before televisions were in households. The building would sub for a studio for the sound not having echo feedback. I am happy you put them on and gave support, thanks.
as a subscriber as both you and the Petersens I truly enjoyed this
“Comfy bluegrass” - did I hear that right? I never encountered that turn of phrase before, and it’s clever and kind. Also it helps explain why I love the Peterson’s sound but sometimes need permission to relax into it.
The Peterson's are absolutely wonderful, oozing with talent and completely lovable.
Right on Fil, The Petersons are a great Branson band. Great vocals. Glad to see them get more coverage...
