Liner Notes:
First off, thanks for watching this; have you also seen my cover of "Tuesday Afternoon" with Jeff Hall? • Tuesday Afternoon (aco...
This one is for my mom, because it's one of her favorites. I've been singing this one for literally decades, so it's nice to get a chance to record it. Sterling and I performed this song on our recent European dates, so it was fresh in our minds. Everything you're hearing in this recording happened in real time. I was playing the stomp (that kick drum sound you hear) with my left foot, and triggering the guitar synth (the synth string sounds you hear) with my right. If you look closely, you'll see the patch I used on my Roland GR-55 guitar synth I had named "Space Oddity", because it's my mellotron-ish string patch that I usually use for that song when I perform it live.
Thanks to Sterling for joining me on this. He still lives in Salt Lake City, and I'm in Denver now, so we try to get together and record whenever he comes to Denver for work.
My guitar synthesizer is a Roland GR-55.
Thanks to Wild Dog Stomp pedals out of Australia for providing the awesome stomp. It worked really well on this song. Here's my model: www.wilddogstomp.com/products...
And a big thanks to you for listening/watching, and for helping spread the music.

At 64, and having had a lifetime of music...once a singer, still an acoustic guitar player, and bass player: Nights in White Satin is one of my very favorite all-time songs. So...that cover, bass and guitar and two amazing voices...is one of the best covers I've ever heard. I thank you from my very depths.
You can still have your own cover Sir, sure you still can!🎉
I feel the same, probably the best version I have heard of this song. I'm 63 and remember how great was the original version. Hard to improve on perfection.
I’m also 64, and I fully agree with you.👍🏻
Are you freaking kidding me with that vocal solo!???!!!? Incredible.
It’s just so breathtakingly surreal. Mike and Sterling can transport you to another dimension. ❤🎸🎼 True talent.
Lucky it’s here forever so we can appreciate it, ✌
My god !!! this is incredible. This is not just a simple "cover" it's so complete and awe inspiring. Two guys??? are you kidding me ??? words escape me....
Sterling, dude! You are hitting some gorgeous high notes with this song! You guys make the perfect duo. Can't wait for more.
You know it’s quality when you can’t take your eyes off the guy on the left when Mike is smashing it as always
How do you not have a million subscribers? Best covers on youtube! Bravo!
Yes - Best covers Ive ever heard.
because they are all watching shitty cardi b vids
Best covers by far
God I wish I could hear you guys play this somewhere with a bon fire in the middle of a night. That would be so friggin soothing.
I don’t know what it is about these performances, But they are just enjoy to listen to and watch. I’ve been going through some very difficult changes in my life recently and I find myself just searching through the list and watching your performances again and again. Very comforting to me, sacred stuff. Thank you, and everyone you perform with
Thank you for sharing that, Erik. I'm glad the music is comforting. Hang in there. Things will get better.
Erik…listen as often as you need to. ❤️ The world is a hard place right now and Mike provides a beautiful, distracting soundtrack. I love this and More Than A Feeling more than anything, the total joy and energy in the performance lets me know the world is a good place for as long as I want it to be. Be well and happy ❤️✌️
One of my favorite songs as a teen. Possibly the best cover i have ever heard. WOW..hauntingly beautiful.
Best cover of this song I’ve seen
Absolute perfect pitch. A rare ability has found a home. Brother, you’re awesome!👏
That was amazing ! The Moody Blues need to see this! The arrangement is great - just two instruments and two voices and the sound is so full that nothing is missed!
Goosebumps. Fantastic and emotional !
As I have come to expect from you, absolutely STUNNING. You and Sterling absolutely killed every part of this. The way you sung the flute solo, the banshee like wail from Sterling, the amazing guitar and baas work from you both, it's an absolute masterpiece.
I also really love Sterlings facial expressions when he sings. It adds a lot to the video knowing how absolutely into it he is.
JordanVailo I second that
@@remgrbeyond0982 fantastic
Mike. These sounds have been fading away for a while. Thanks so much for preserving them in almost their original form. Brilliant co-performance by Sterling Cottam. My salute!
Full range voices filling the void of instruments. Absolutely brilliant Mike & Sterling
I immediately went back to 1970 and all the feelings of being 20, thank you.
GOOD GOD - those high notes!
this is a real emotional song for me. I play the flute. My dad who is a farmer with no musical education whatsoever ask me once when I was 8, just starting playing the flute: "can you play that part?" and I managed (after practice!!). well it brings back memeories thank you so much guys :D
That was outrageous. Sterling backing was immense. As good as Jeff on Black Peter.
Freaking awesome. Vocal just like the record. Same timbre, inflection, growl, spacing, crying . Just the way I like it. TRUE!
That vibrato...oh my soul. Just break my heart and heal it again with that vibrato alone.
I'm old, have loved this song forever. You sang it beautifully. OMG chills and tears. Don't ever stop singing!
Thank you for an excellent cover of a really great song. Mike, you have Justin's vocal mannerisms down without being a mimic. Also, the vocal on the musical interlude was well done. Sterling's ability to cover the rest of the vocals, along with playing a bang on bass, helped make this cover unique and sonically superb.
Omg that back up singer at the chorus gave me mega goosebumps at the Chorus....... wow.....
How does this not have more views ? Still incredible
Chills!!!!! I mean Chills. Nailed it. You can feel the raw, deep, powerfulness of this song!
WHOH !!! That is shockingly good. I’m in awe !!!!
Mike, great as always! But dude...Sterling! That guy has some serious range!
Agreed! Watch this and his Elvis back to back to fully appreciate it. 👍
On that video we can appreciate your long hair as well, Mike :)
Or what was left of it, yes ;)
Several pounds ago to. Now you just look 'sick' ;)
I like to think I look healthier, because I am. :)
Jesus Effin Cristo! Insanely beautiful and moving ~
This might be one of the very best videos on RUclips. Hats of to you mate. Tremendous cover of a tremendous song.
Jesus Pete....every performance I watch is amazing. You both have absolutely amazing harmonies together. There are no words to describe how good you are.
Mike you are killing it. You and Sterling make the perfect group
This made the hair on my head and neck stand up--so ethereal and fleeting and oh so beautiful-- and then the smile and giggle at the end. Sublime perfection. Well done gentlemen.
I would honestly give everything I own to have talent like that.
Great job y’all 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Love the high harmonies, nailed it 👌🏼
How Mike comes from the highest note down to the final verse in an instant is beyond me. It's great to find a channel you last checked out almost a decade ago and have all that's in between to catch up on.
Nice flute work! lol Moody Blues are my all time favorite band and you guys did great justice to their song. Very nice harmonies and arranging.
I dont know what else to say, besides PERFECTION!! OMG,..the vocals are INSANE! Pure MAGIC! I
Excellant and Im fussy about covers of my fav band The Moody Blues and Justin Hayward and you nailed it here...If you dont get that first note on this song you'll never get it at all and you got it 100% love the voice replacing the flute interlude and your treble notes are awesome, this is a very fine performance and Im sure the band would approve of it indeed...a big applause well done you. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 💕🎶🎵
This song always makes me reflect on my life for the last 60 years.... Great job.....
Just want you to know that I’ve been listening to you from the start, and I always come straight to your channel when I’m stressed and need to put my mind at ease. You’re truly a god send
Gents..... you are amazing. Like so many others I do not understand why you guys are not signed. You are simply the best.
From Wouter in Cape Town South Africa.
I'm in love with your version❤
Great job guys. Singing the flute part was a stroke of genius. Love all your work.
Wow that's an amazing live duet cover of this song.
Greatest. Cover. Ever.

Love that smile at the end. Great work!
Loved the vocal solo part! Sounds so cool!
Wow. I'm speechless. The best cover.

That was unbelievable. Great duo. +1
This song has been in my life so long I've just picked up on this this version tonight I've got to say it is simply as stunning as the first time I heard the original beautiful well done👏👏👏👏
What vocal control - both of you...well done!
Amazing, just amazing !! The only "problem" with listening to you guys while I work is that I can't just listen, I have to watch because I can't believe what I'm hearing if that makes any sense. We plan on seeing you in Germantown and hope to bring a few peeps with us. Caught you and Sterling in NYC last year and that was awesome as well.
Bang on 👍❤️
Another masterpiece! Incredible...congrats, gents!!
Great Job Mike & Sterling!!! Goosebumps!!!
Totally agree with those who say that this is the best cover ever heard.
