I didn't see Dallas on the upcoming concert list; any plans to do so in the future?
Mr. Mike, very good. It is in my play list. Would like to know if you play a Dreamline from Rush?
All the great ones started at a small joint somewhere. But you're right of course Mike
Your my idol
tour in Germany :-) ?
Mike's getting a lot of love, which he deserves, but I thought Jeff killed it in this cover. His harmony is spot-on.
I like Mike, but I come to this channel mostly for Jeff :v
Jeff hall is a beast love his style.
Honestly it was perfect. An amazing duo!
His low backing vocals are awesome in this one.
His (Paul's) part is quite hard, but he nails it anyway.
Heartbreaking that so many people perform this beautiful song without the vocal counterpoint. These guys nailed it, best cover I've found.
and the sign flashed out it's warning
in the words that it was forming
and the sign said:
"Pie Pizza"
keep off the meth
Aleksi Roope
Thanks for the laugh! ;)
FUCK, haven’t seen your profile picture in a while. Granted this comment is two years old. I always recognize it and look for more.
I love it 😂😂😂
Here in 2024 because someone posted him on Reddit this morning. This dude is beyond talented and just hope to see him love now.
Same! Making my way through some songs right now!
to be honest this cover is just as good as the original
Almost all of their covers are as good or better than the originals, it's amazing. For example, ToTo - Africa was better than the original, and dare I say Space Oddity by David Bowie...
Joseph Hudson iTS A VERY GOOD COVER, but no better than toto. Now it sounds good because is almost acappella and they have great voices too :)
Joseph Hudson These were my exact thoughts. Pure talent right here.
I hope that pizza joint has room to accommodate about 1.5 million new fans.
they're quite expanding
would def rush there after corona
How can people have so many subs and fans in the world and have no talent like most of the pop stars today, and these guys playing in a pizza place ? I don't understand it. These guys gives me the chills and I would love to see them live ! Greetings from Denmark
Morten Jensen Well said my friend. You just touched a very fucked up issue pertaining to Music industry. Thats how it works today. Its not just talent. Its who you know.
Morten Jensen Maybe it's what they want. Not everyone is in it to make money. Some just want to play music.
***** keep it on .. for the love .. fuck their money bros
Brian Adams Too true
If you're not singing about sex, drugs and money (self indulgence), your music means nothing when it comes to being "popular". That's all they play on the radio. Atleast where I live. REAL talent goes unnoticed, it's mostly teenagers making music on the computer. I have a lot of respect for Mike Masse and I hope he gets notice. Huge fan. I bring him up EVERYTIME a "cover" is mentioned. I really hope someone important discovers his music and starts selling his stuff. I'd definetly buy it.
Jeff Hall belongs in the RUclips Music Hall of Fame. So underrated.
Mike Massé too
the musision
Great voice
Great combination
And a great pair
Love from India
Jeff's backing vocals are fantastically tight yet again. In many ways doing the backing harmony is the more difficult part, but he nails it!
Right on, singing harmony is a skill coz not all singers can sing harmony.
Unless you've tried singing them, most people have no idea just how difficult it is to sing harmonies. Jeff is a fucking boss
Agreed. And it's also literally true, in terms of his day job as a prosecutor. :)
Some people can just do it all! Go Jeff! Also, great to see you interacting with the fans Mike you're a freakish talent :)
Add he does a little bass line at about 1:30 that sound very similar to some Pink Floyd...was that a little nod to PF? :)
The only duo I know that consistently does it better than the original pair.
better? na
It's better to keep your mouth shut and let everyone think you're an idiot, than to open it and dispel all doubt. Mark Twain
Rehe Ruesch So you get defensive about a vocalization that you hold no claim or control over. It was his opinion and I agree. There are various covers that they play better, but not this one. Once any piece of work is released to the public criticism of said work is warranted. That was his criticism, which is warranted.
If I don't agree with the comment, which was unsupported, I must avail myself the opportunity to redirect. Unless the criticism is specific and objective, in which case, I'd have let it stand.+Dave Johnston. Unless you're an Ikon in the genre, you dont get to be diminuitive without objectively supporting your position.
I was saying that we all have a right to our; opinions and entitlements, but using another's quote to give someone destructive criticism, especially when the quote is poorly placed and has little to do with the overall conversation, doesn't help with anything. All it does is show that you didn't want any feedback in any way, shape, or form. You should have responded to him in a way that explained why you thought your' opinions, not in a way that did nothing but make him just stop.
Beautiful harmonies Jeff, you don't get enough credit for all these tunes. Your bass and vocals are always bang on
This must be remastered because literally everybody would stop whatever they are doing to soak in every moment of this masterpiece performance.
Mike Masse and Jeff Hall are the new Simon and garfunkel. Man Its good to hear people who cover a song with passion
listening in 2021. its incredible how they bring the feel of the original, the passion, the sound, the style. simply fantastic
How could I surf the net for 14 years and this never came up?
These guys are RIDICULOUSLY GOOD. Pure voices, beautiful harmonies, fantastic musicianship. Would love to see them play someday.
that bass comes in so heavy... love it
Yeah; I loved it. Listening to this song when it was new, I focused on the bass line a lot. This is quite good.
You 2 are actually equal among the greatest musicians in the world❤Let none tell you otherwise
The tiny differences to the original song give this rendition new life. Nothing wrong with the original, it is just that heating it repeated thousands of times over through the years makes it become sort of invisible.
wow!!...ghosh bump🥰❤🙌 very niced music i ever heard
As a musician & singer I can say that was one of the best covers of the song "The Sound of Silence" I've ever heard in my life time. I give that song a 10+.
Yup, it made me drop several tears. 🥲
Jeff the bassist has the voice of an angel
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools, " said I, "You do not know
Silence, like a cancer, grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells, of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence
Outstanding !!!!!
I'm sad that it's taken me this long to find the amazing music of Mike Masse and Jeff Hall. Such gifted musicians and singers. Just a perfect rendition of a classic. Bravo.
That moment when you realize you found this acoustic cover after 10 years as the best one you ever heared in your whole life. Greetings and much love from germany
These guys deliver this stunning performance and afterwards one guy in the audience goes "Yeah!" Come on!!!
That bass kicking in!!!
So good! Awesome duo 👌✌️
As I return and listen to this for the 5 th time I can't help but wonder how 433 people could give this a thumbs down. This is an absolutely outstanding rendition and performance.
If you’re reading this, Mike, you and Jeff absolutely nail these songs...awesome vocals and tasteful musicianship. In another era, you would have been massive. Thanks for doing what you do, Sir!
This is just a haunting and beautiful cover ! What a shame that the music industry has chosen to promote garbage and image instead of the brilliance and talent of guys like this.
AT&T . Revenge Dept agreed. They deserve more.
Mike! You gotta stop murdering these songs! Love it bro!!!!! Seriously!!!!!
Bravo!!!!!
One of my favorite hippy songs...brings me back..
Am I going too far when I say that this guy can sing the song better than the original composer?
I'm mesmerized by Jeff's bass playing…..well done!
Awesome awesome awesome 👍
Oh, sooooo good.....thank you--glad you didn't remain "silent".
Excellent 10/10
Did the neon god's sign happen to say "pie pizza" ???
This is so good I got goosebumbs! Good job, wow!
In Finland we say chickenskin.
Thanks for watching and commenting, Farm Girl. 👍
Me too!!
@@mikemasse absolutely love you xxxx
Beautiful!! Fantastic!.. very well done
Recorded in 2009 before it became fashionable to jump on the Disturbed bandwagon of dark and brooding versions of this song. Awesome version.
OMFG these 2 are unbelievable
How does this pizzeria in UT have better music than most venues by me in NYC?!?!?!
I never heard of these guys until five minutes ago and they're great!
This song makes you want to go and travel somewhere beautiful
Bravo! Wow!
Okay, I have to say it. The fact that people are talking during this performance shocks me. If I were in the room while this was going on, I would be floored. I play music almost every weekend and there wouldn't be anything that important to talk about while this bitchin performance was happening... Great work guys....
Holy shit. Those people at the pizza parlor are really lucky.And that little bass slide is a really nice extra touch.
That deserved a WAY BETTER round of applause! awesome!
I’ve watched/listened to literally thousands of cover songs here on RUclips,,, and this was no doubt one of the very best!! AWESOME JOB!!!
try the one by disturbed...automatic goosebumps :).
I just came in and yeah, I agree with Wallace, this is mindblowing!
Bravissimo 👍🏼
These guys should be touring Las Vegas, goddamn it
That is magical... So little people can really apreciate real music. Good thing we have RUclips so more People can hear it. ❤️❤️
i clicked the like button before i watch it, just perfect
same
私は日本人です。２人の演奏歌声、最高です！！
Take your "disturbed" and ram it! This is the only cover required,......... Outstanding
Are you serious??? I thought I was listening to my all time fav duet. You guys are unbelievably amazing!
Only guys who have done the cover worthy of this song genius. I wish Paul and Art could hear this - they would be quite touched. On another note, Mike I wish you would perform theatres and stages - you have a following :)
2009 video with 1080p quality and superb audio. Wow!
Wonderful!
It's also nice to see another Lefty that plays the guitar right-handed.
Mike’s emotion puts this already perfectly performed song over the top! So amazing!
Bloody fantastic fellers!
this is the best cover ive ever heard, of any song, ever
You need to hear their version of Africa then!
Visit reo brothers for this song. The best cover
That harmony tho!!! Spot on !!!
TOP, TOP, TOP, FANTASTIC.
Jeff over there killin' the bass
Jeff is amazing. You guys together were the best cover duo that has ever existed. Love to both!
You have an uncanny ability to get to the musical heart of a song, and tease out the real beauty behind the melodies. Makes me wish you would do a cover of 'Take Me Home, Country Roads'.
Like that song 🎵
One of the greatest compositions of all time; a brilliant work of art. And a worthy cover.
Everytime I watch the performances (any given song) recorded at the pizza joint. I can't help but think just how clueless the people there must be. They're entirely disconnected perhaps unaware of just what it is they're being treated to. These are amazing covers of timeless songs and these people respond to it as if they were listening to a jukebox. (maybe, that's it...these guys are so good folks think it's the jukebox) Seriously, it's mind boggling...the one thing I do know is I wish I lived nearby...pizza, beer and these two guys (save me a seat at the bar) I'm there and I'm making damn sure my gratitude and appreciation is obvious, loud, and clear.
4.3 million are not silent 👏
Great job, you guys are awesome.
Meu pai e minha mãe amam essa música, eles ouviam muito quando eu era criança. Telma você sabe onde eu consigo a letra desta música ????? porque eu quero tentar traduzir!!! Obrigada querida!!!
Tenta o cifra.net eles teem quase tudo.
Debora Silva a tradução é perfeita...tem um video do simon e garfunkel traduzido
Obrigada!
I miss these days when Jeff and Mike played together, it was like magic. Jeff must be pissed because I haven't seen him do anything with Mike since he went on his own. It's a shame Jeff didn't move with you Mike or you didn't stay in Salt Lake with him.
+Brian Zaborowski I just did a gig with him tonight. :) People hire us for private gigs together all the time, all across the U.S. (and sometimes internationally). So while we don't gig together locally anymore, we still get to play together regularly.
+Mike Masse Nice to know, man. You guys are fantastic. Someday I'll hire you for a private show in Brazil, haha. Congrats.
+Mike Masse you guys should come to Uk !! you're both are great ! :)
+Weronika Chudzicka We're performing for one night in London on 1 April 2016 at 229 the Venue, actually. www.229thevenue.com/
+Mike Masse next time come Hatfield ! :3 .
Perfect! Nailed it!!!
Hello Mike Masse. My name is Danny I live in Queensland Australia. Well my friend I just ran across your music on RUclips by chance wanting to hear acoustic songs. Omg!! Where have you been 4 ever? Absolutely you are the most awesome singer/ songwriter with little publicity over here mate.You need to come to Australia and tour here. No joke. You’ll be loved over here my friend. The genres of songs you sing are amazing and extraordinarily pitch and verse perfect. The Gem in the soloist and duo’s world. I applaud you Mike. Keep up the fine work. P.s. I’m saddened also for your family losses. Cheers mate👍👍👌👌
Crazy awesome
Hey These guys are great! It just goes to show there are great ones that Don't make it big as there's just so much room at the top everyone can't be there all at once. Music is about making as many people happy around us as we can possibly find, even if it's a handful of folks, it's a special gift to them.
Yup
You’re a genius, congratulations from Brazil 🇧🇷
you guys ROCK!
What's so impressive about the bassist is he let the guitarist (I don't know who's who) just sing the melody however he wants and then adjusts EVERY harmony to him. Which is not how Simone and Garfunkel did it and is much harder. Bravo
So it's possible to looks like Simon and Garfunkel in one single person !!! Great cover by the way.
I would not have thought it possible to cover that song in a matter that does the original justice. You just proved me wrong. That was simply amazing to listen to.
Your covers are honestly my favourite on RUclips, you manage to make the songs just as equally as beautiful as the originals, but still your own. So much respect for you as a musician :)
Are you Demi Lovato?
Pretty badass duo.
OMG….hair raising goosebumps!!
As breathtaking as the masters themselves. Lucky if you walk in for a pizza an stay there all night to just soak this stuff up.
Mike and geoff bossing it again...great work fellas
woah goosebumps....
OUTSTANDING!
man, this is brilliant. amazing harmonization, dunno what else to say.
I'm still shocked when I find videos this old that are this amazing. How did I never come across this musical perfection before now?
Best version ever! Took me two days to finally find this. So soothing. ❤
I'm supposed to sleep now, but i can't stop watching these vids
one of the best covers of this song! excellent vocals, even at a cafe! and that bass work!
nice song for lockdown 05/10/2020 stay safe stay home
The most underrated duo in the world. Look at their other covers.
I am sure it's been said, "When the cover is better than the original." Absolutely love the sliding bass. Also I don't understand how you achieve this production level in a pizzeria.
I agree, that was fantastic. I perform live as well, and I agree, the crowds at the pubs just don't like to applaud for some reason. Yet they come up after and say how awesome you were. Well Mike, you have some pipes and are very, very impressive.
