Mike are you gonna have one presentation this Friday (NY) or the whole weekend? we wanna go but Friday is kind of tough.
Beautiful!!!!! -Your new suscriber and existing MonaLisaTwins Greetings from Australia
2020
Got hooked when
I learned you are an Attorney (Lawyer)!
Hoping to exchange musical
ideas with you good sir.
How can we connect with you?
Thanks!
Yes..gonna come see y'all in Fairfield Ohio this summer
I bet he could sing anything!! 💜
I love how this has 2.4M views and yet the live audience was as enthusiastic as a wet blanket. Sometimes it's not you, it's the crowd that sucks. :)
Nah, theyre just speechless
Sometimes people don’t know how lucky they are. If I saw this duo in a pizzeria I’d be gobsmacked
But this pizza place Is special
Russian bots programmed to divide and distress us. This is awesome.
gav240z true that!
Not many people can bring a song like that to life with 2 instruments. Awesome!
3 instruments, the voice do really count.
You deserve a standing ovation for that cover!!!
Its just a beautiful cover. No gimmicks, no extras. Just the voice, the melody and the energy. Love it.
And what voice... (!)
Couldn’t agree more to hear just a really good cover of this cosmic song
That's what i love about covers made good. The ones that try to be "original" are 95% worse. Play the same way and show you are as good or better than original. This one is so good btw. Close to original. Perfectly played on emotions during that cover. Great job you guys!
Jeff's bass playing really shines on this one. It may not be super complicated, but his timing and way of playing is spot-on.
+Indy The Great Yeah, he plays for the music, you can hear it, and that's brilliant !
A quality bass player is a treasure. There's a reason they're in demand.
lol .. not super complicated?...that's not what their going for here ,, this is simply and amazing performance!!
I thought he was Garfunkel
Listening in 2020 and it’s making everything feel alright. Incredible cover all around bass, guitar and vocals spot on guys!!!
3:18, he did it perfectly!
This is 11 years old and still my favorite cover by FAR!
Yes... Me too
And I’m confident there will never be one. This is better than Elton Johns “cover” 😜
You are amazing, Mike. 2024 and I still finding myself wanting to listen to your covers. Rock on brother.
Bass player's harmony so subtle but adds so much
So gorgeous
Their performance is just so well done. The timing, the sound levels, the harmonies - fantastic. The fact that this was recorded in a pizza joint just adds to the awesomeness. I love music, but this video makes me appreciate it even more.
This man can sing--absolutely--what a great sound-and everything he sings is GOLD
Mike's vocals on this are brilliant! Jeff's playing is incredible.
You two have inspired me to go take a trip out to Utah just to watch you two live. You guys are awesome! :-)
Elizabeth Rios Mike moved to the Denver, CO area. May want to hold off on that Utah trip. ;)
Mike Jones But Salt Lake is lovely this time of year, so it wouldn't be a completely wasted trip.
Mike Masse Not getting to see you live would be a big let down though, Mike. :)
Mike Masse Are you performing at local places in the Denver area still ? You should be on the big stages around the country / world.
Mike Masse hey mike nice Martin. I have HD28, how much is yours with cut away, and how does it compare to D28?
probably one of the best covers ever made, I'd be mad psyched if I was eating there that night!
Omar Samra. I would be madd psyched to be eating there or anywhere these played on any night
Listen to totos Africa cover. Omg!!!
@@mstewart109 That shit is INSANE
With you on that...
that dude KILLLLLED it on the high notes
The harmonies the bass player does are fantastic!
I never comment on anyone's videos, but wow. This is amazing. I got chills.
Anyone here in 2024??
I’m back ‘round these parts every 3 or 4 months or so. These fellas can just put you in such a good mood.
April 14th, 2024
Oh yeah
I'm really glad to of found Mike! Random recommendation in my feed after funnily enough looking for a couple songs literally to sing to annoy my wife 😄😄😄 She gets increasingly frustrated the more I get lyrics wrong (On purpose!) Then him & Jeff are belting out covers like this!? Linger!? Africa!? All unreal examples of how talented these guys are & they really do put you in a better head space 100%
Who doesn’t come back to mikes perfection at least several times a year!?
The Pie was my late night go-to during the early 2000s. I must have seen Mike perform a dozen or-so times. I always made requests and dropped a few bucks in the tip jar. My friends and I knew his covers were something special. 74-75 (connells) is still my fav.
come ON this cover is craaaazy good! made me cry so hard, my dad used to play this in the car when i was a kid. lost him last spring. here's looking up to you dad!
I will replay this song in your dads honour. Stay strong my man, I'm sure hes looking down proud as hell
most of the time "more talent=more famous" is not the case.....proves that there are still millions of gems out there in different lines of life. The famous ones were just given the opportunity. Talent not given opportunity is wasted...so sad. Thank God for youtube.
I can’t believe after one of the greatest live performances by anyone ever, the crowd basically forgot to clap. I have to laugh because it’s capture here for everyone to truly enjoy. Imagine being there in person and not noticing at all.
Wow, I guess I have a lot of videos to watch. This is the third and I'm hooked!
Banshee Moon you have great taste my friend. Great voice this man has.
Same lol
you said it perfectly..
We are hooked on you Mrs. Moon!!
Makes my heart bleed - such great musicians and so well rehearsed performing to morons who when the song has ended decide a long time after to give some applause. You guys are great. Amazing voices and superb performance. We had a trio years back and were performing to one guy in the bar - in the break I went up to him and asked him if he was enjoying it - he was totally deaf. Can be kind of frustrating.
Thanks, Leo. I enjoyed that story, and can obviously relate. :)
BWAHAHAAHAHAHAHHA
That was funny, man! Well, that's the price you pay to be a musician: one day, people will go the place where you're performing at, so they can hear you. And that doesn't necessarily implies beign famous to do so; the other day, however, people won't just give a heck. That's the way it it. It's like forgetting the name of surgeon who saved your life!
Doing what you love has a high price to pay
Some put on a suit, but he ran the other way
His drums drown out the yuppies
And the one's who couldn't dream
Cause the freedom music gave him was worth more than anything
They don't know
What they got
Until it's gone
Like it or not
You live on love
Try to do what's right
We're all here waiting for our silver invitation
To the big band in the sky
Rolling down the windows
Trying hard to fight the sleep
Money's never much for a band in Tennessee
Another night of playing
To a crowd with no ears
Who only hear the songs they know
And fill their bellies full of beer
But they don't know
What they got
Until it's gone
Like it or not
You live on love
You try to do what's right
We're all here waiting for our silver invitation
To the big band in the sky
And when he closed his eyes
He fell into a dream that never dies
And when the thunder comes
You can hear his kick drum in the sky
Feel the rain
Fall from our eyes
Cause we don't know
What we got
Until it's gone
Like it or not
You live on love
You try to do what's right
For him there's no more waiting
Got his silver invitation
Just to do a little playing
For the big band in the sky
"Lance's Song"
by Zac Brown Band
Hah! To be fair, that's enthusiastic for The Pie.
Oh I so agree! Especially after Africa.. wtf!!
For a decade and a half I've been following you and listening to your awesome performances and I just want to tell you that you've brought me great cathartic enjoyment. Thank you, Mike.
BOOOOOOOM .... This is why RUclips ROCKS!!!!! These guys blowin it up!!!
A 10 anos, vira e mexe eu tô aqui...
That intro was BEAUTIFUL and reminds me of David and Roger playing together 🎸💙
I love how he sings it accurately and doesn’t add his own style. Best cover ever
Sorry but I don't agree AT ALL. He DOES add his own style, not only in the way he decorates the melody but also he doesn't sing in the exact times Elton does. It's definitely different from the original song.
And that doesn't make it bad, in fact it makes it beautiful and gives sense to the act of making a cover
I know what you mean, baby
@@CotitaYea, the core of the song is there but they do add their own flavor which is great, a new take done tastefully is never a bad thing.
You guys don't need a huge stage neither a big crowd, you're 100% truly artists! And once again sir, what a amazing voice you have!
sir! both are amazing really. rocket man actually
That guy can sing...
Both voices together are great!! fabulous...a nice sound you guys.
I come back to listen to this version very often. Really a great cover!
Me too brother.
perfect - the bass and harmonies really take it to another level
Bass player riffing that slide guitar part with vocals is incredible!
In the name of all that is holy, why don't you have a contract? You are so much truer to the music than 99% of the people doing this stuff. (I'm a classical singer, and don't get me started about the lack of relationship between money, talent and integrity...)
Right on. I'm just getting started trying to break into the industry and the people I'm in contact with are completely disconnected with the music. not even true to themselves.... this guy is as real as it gets!
Dislikes here can only be a form of jealousy because this is one of the best covers I've heard of any song! Praise to you guys for your Awesomeness!
No way! I was listenning Africa, and now it´s swiching to this and the tone of voice is incredible! Cheers!
She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine AM
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Goosebumps every cover they do.....
Mike you have a real talent it's 4 in the morning in the uk and I can't stop listening to these songs, excellent !!!!!!
I come back to this 3 or 4 time a year. Fantastic!
I really like the background chatter. It makes the song feel even more alive.
my only regret is that I can only like this once. Fantastic job
This is just so fantastic, that there are few words that do justice. Fanstastic!
I love these videos with Jeff in Pie Pizza, they have a special aura (beyond the great music), something like if you were thinking "these are the happiest moments of my life, when I'm free, flying through the waves of music. I hope someday I can quit my day job and dedicate my life to music...".
Cheers from Argentina!
Mike is a real talent, but his mate Jeff completes the overall sound with great harmonies and cool bass lines! A brilliant duo👌
Love the bass on this! Brilliant!
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
What a legend, this guy.
Vocal is absolutely spot on man
best duo I have ever heard! These guys have a huge symphonic sound!
I didn't realize how good the bass player was until I plugged my computer into the stereo. Great Job guys !
loving your covers...
The song is AMAZING! I LOVE the end at 4:00 with the oooooooo sound and the softer voices it's like wooow I'm so captured by the song it almost pisses me off they did not clap any HARDER!!!!!!
Man you have an absolutely terrific voice. Been listening to you for several hours which is something I hardly ever do when it's cover music.
3:18 Holy goosebumps!
The coolest guitar solo I have heard live was a club called Wrap City in Provo Utah, it was this song the band played. Over 20 years ago. Wish I could find it on RUclips, this one is good too.
Wow! Ich kann nur sagen wow! Ich liebe diesen Song und ihr beiden spielt und singt ihn so wunderbar. Vielen Dank! Dieses Video von euch ist mein absolutes Highlight bei RUclips. Ich freue mich auf Mike in Germany, April 2018
They just pink floyded it, FUCKIN AWESOME!
+Francis Abram pmsl, fucking excellent mate
+Mr. Burns How?
Dinko B It's deep.
Mr. Burns I was just wondering. Haha
Come on man, share!
Dinko B It sounds like pink Floyd, go listen to wish you were here or dark side of the Moon.
Holy crap I am late to discovering you guys. Amazing covers, just wow.
Sorry guys, it’s not only a great cover but you recreate a great mood. “ I think it’s going to be a long long time”. fantastic. Thank you,
Why did I only find you just now? This is bloody brilliant!!! That pipe you you, wow! Incredible.
“Not the man they think I am, at all...
Oh, No No No No No...”
Beautiful voice.. Wow!
Nice cover
You guys rock it ... man
Great talent, great sound,
wish I could see you live ...
Excellent. The tempo is perfect. So solid.
Absolutely beautiful ❤
:14 seconds in and I could tell this was gonna be good!
I love that many of the best covers of all time were recorded with a neon pizza sign behind them
Very cool vocals....wish I could sing that high!!! Nice control head voice to false.
Amazing cover. I've listened to it probably 20 times.
the guy calling peoples name for pizza actually adds to the song, it sounds like radio chatter
É uma das melhores interpretações que já vi desta música aqui no RUclips. Tudo perfeito. Voz impecável e de uma grande afinação. Parabéns pela execução.
Canta muito
Pode crer. Incrivel como tras todo a essencia dessa música pra frente só com violao e baixo. Show de bola.
Verdade. Excelente qualidade musical.
Incrivel que eu tive um restaurante nesta mesma rua em Salt Lake City e nunca vi este cara.
How have I never heard this guy sing before... Wonderful tone control. Bravo
It was such heartbreaking news to hear about the pain this man endured! Truly a blessed under appropriated musician whose life seemed to almost be cursed . Such a tragedy and remember upon hearing the news it was the first time a stranger I only knew through his covers on youtube touched me personally. Hopefully, he's in a better place now.
they should release a dvd& cd of these performances!
I bet you could sing Tonic like no other.
That's hilarious
Okay play free bird!!!
Unbelievable, great vocals and music! Outstanding.
The talent on display here is off the charts
Who the 🤬 could give these the thumbs down?! Killer voices.
You guys are simply amazing!
Your voice is amazing, sir. Also, cheers to the bassist for keeping the magic together!
God, it's good, might be one of the best covers I've ever heard. Such emotion and great playing.
Ihr seid klasse... Yor great!
i can hear the emotion. great cover!
This was a fantastic cover! You guys should have received thunderous applause. What was wrong with those people?
My most favorite song ever.
Beautiful, no big production just simple pure talent.
Pay attention up and coming newbies sometimes less is more..
Fan from Philippines here. Nice music, great voice, superb performance!
I literally logged in just to "like" this video. You guys are phenomenal. (:
Incredible guys....!!! Listening from Newfoundland, Canada
Umm why haven't I seen this until today?! Beautiful...
Best version I have heard in a long long time.
Um dos melhores cover de Elton John
I've listened to a few of your covers - you're extremely talented. Such a great voice too.
this is beautiful 😢
I flipping love this song. One of those that just takes you away for a few minutes every time you hear it. Fantastic cover to boot.
Dude has an amazing voice
Just discovering Mike Masse,,,, gotta wonder where I've been over the last decade lol
Same bro
Same here. I just found his channel today. OMG the Simon & Garfunkel covers are GORGEOUS!
Exactly me now
3 months ahead of me apparently 😂
I've been coming to this very same video for the last 8 years...lol
This is the first time I lived this song! I wasn’t even going to listen but decided I had to hear how y’all did it. You NEVER disappoint.
