I don't understand how these covers can be this good. Not a note missed in the entire thing. Like, these are studio quality takes, just chillin in a pizzeria. Mind blowing.
It's all in your mix coming out of your mains ! Proper effects like Chorus with a nice touch of Reverb can go a long way plus they jell together with the there nature tone !! I love this because for a 2 man band they rock ! 🤟
It's all been said, but notably, I see no trolls and stupid comments, which is rare these days. It says a lot about Mike and Jeff's talent, which is prodigious. How the customers manage to eat pizzas and have conversations whilst this awesome pair are playing, I just don't know. All I can say is that I am very glad I don't live in their town, because I would be fattest man on earth by now . . . and divorced. Thank you for such wonderful music.
I discovered Mike and Jeff when they had only 25K subscribers, playing in the pizzeria as their once a month get together to catch up on practice and performing. Now over 435K! It should be a MILLION just based on their insane level of talent. What people dont know is that the only place that gave them enough room was the corner booth in the back,.. but was also it was in the path of where the restrooms were. thats why you see people walking in front of the video camera. But it was a pizza joint close to the college that many were there just for food and beer, not necessarily knowing the treat of their life by the "live concerts" by such amazing artists. Other little known fact, Mike and Jeff had busy professional day jobs,.. wait for it,.. BOTH have law degrees , Mike was a Public Defender,.. and Jeff was a district Prosecuting attorney! They met up on (I think) on Wednesday once a month. They played at The Pizzeria for 10 years, before Mike decided to leave Salt Lake City, Utah and move the Denver CO for more prospects and exposure. He then went on to start playing in venues all over the world!
I've also been listening since their start and have become virtually attached to both of them, know what I mean? TLDR: Never thouht id' feel any sort of brotherly love for an attorney.
The energy and passion cannot be denied. That Toto blew me away. I've shared countless times... To my music friends, for how it Must be done. No passion is No soul...
My god, Scarborough Fair just made me have flashbacks to 1971. I was going to a convent school here in Australia and the Nuns used to make us sing this song in music classes. This was very well done. Haunting. What a beautiful song.
It’s 4:00 am and I really should be sleeping, but just one more song, then one more, then one more… I can’t tear myself away. Such an amazing performance! 🥰
Harmony is just notes in a scale: but the timbre and control of the notes and voicing chemistry is magical. Absolutely astonishing. More passion and diligence than the originals.
There's no words to describe them BUT they're simply great!!! They make me feel young again!!! They brought music where it was meant to be. Since I'm on my last days, thank you for bringing my memories back and made me feel that I belong and made me feel that I left this Earth better than when I found it.
Two rounds of the latest, Covid-19 back to back with pneumonia with infections in both lungs along with swelling, was getting better - got hit with acute bronchitis this time. I have one Norwegian will power to live, Mike. You help it a lot with your tunes, ty sir! Bless ya's.🙏 🙏
Have seen him several times in Connecticut at the Woodbury brewhouse. Absolutely phenomenal. One of the best nights of music you will ever witness. Absolutely one of the most talented musicians out there. Do not miss him
I do acoustic gigs like this and its so difficult to get right with no band or effects to hide behind. This guy is flawless in his song conviction. Impressive beyond belief!!
True, indeed, an amazing compilation, they ( Mike and Jeff) were born and found each other for a common purpose -To make life on earth a little bit lighter...
I AM FROM THE PHILIPPINES..WE SONGS AND SINGING ALL OF ENGLISH SONGS FROM 60'S TO PRESENT...WE GOT BAND TOO...BUT YOU ..GENTLEMEN...YOU ARE THE COOLEST ONE WE EVER SEE AND HEARD..MORE POWER AND CONTINUE YOUR AMAZING PERFORMANCE...CHEERS..
Someone(Mark T.) said “Sing like no one is listening, love like you never been hurt, dance like no one is watching and live like it is heaven on earth.” For Mike, it's very obvious that he loves to sing very much. Otherwise the voice won't come out this way especially at the high notes. He loves to sing, and I love to listen to his music. haha..
Really well done guys -- I haven't heard acoustic sets sound so true to the original, down to the notes -- and I'm a guitar player who can recognize the details you've gone to the trouble of including, on an acoustic even!
trop fort et juste , bravo , belle voix et bon bassite , ce n'est pas un endroit pour vous , vous devriez creer et faire des concerts dans le monde merci
I was fortunate enough to Mike at the Viper Room a few years back. What a treat you were brother and the fellow musicians who played with you. I listen to your music frequently and can’t wait until I can see you again. You brightened up LA that night man, the whole room was loving every minute of it.
I don't think I have rewatched a youtube video as many times as this one. One of my favourite songs, executed flawlessly. The vocal quality for each singer is amazing and the harmonies are honestly jaw dropping.
Ab. So. Lute. Ly. Perfect. Every one. All of it. They're all literally better than the originals. Mike, you and your little group of friends/artists you play with are out of this world. By far, better than 95% of the recording artists in the last 20 years. I can't tell you how many times I put this on... and let all your stuff just run. You're truly gifted.
Linger by the Cranberries makes me so sad and nostalgic. I don't even really know why, but it just does. It invokes some kind of melancholy that I can't explain. Sung beautifully and lovely guitar playing. Thank you.
Mike is my secret treasure on youtube... I watch his lives with the same feeling I had when I first found the Africa cover back a few years now... these performances feel like family, and bring memories of a more beautiful and simple world. Love you guys!
Guys this is absolutely brilliant. The depth of what you create with just a bass, guitar and your voices is incredible. You truly are both masters of your craft
The Sound of Silence cover was exceptional what more can be said. A Paul Simon masterpiece done to perfection. Jeff Hall deserves props as well he is no slouch in his own right..
I had the surreal privilege of watching Mike in Manchester a couple of weeks ago.... it was emotional. The most intimate crowd who chose the songs at his request and then we hugged and took pictures with everyone at the end - a truly inspirational man! Please, if he is playing within 500 miles of you, go and see him; it will cost around £30. I love you, Mike!
I don't understand how these covers can be this good. Not a note missed in the entire thing. Like, these are studio quality takes, just chillin in a pizzeria. Mind blowing.
Well said
these guys can sing and play extremely well, acoustic sound excellent, mics have proper reverb and volume. Nice job.
That's the Mike Massé effect......welcome to the show,sit back,close your eyes,enjoy!!!!
Where is this pizzaria? It’s worth a move to enjoy this. This is the good parts of life.

🤣
Ha !
My pizza would be cold
i forgot turn off my lighter while listening this..amazing..💯💖
What an awesome tribute to Mike and Jeff!

That's beautiful. Thanks for sharing
😊They're very good they bring allot memories good old days
Fabulous sounding very good well arranged songs hope to hear lots more cheers🥂🍾
I've also been listening since their start and have become virtually attached to both of them, know what I mean? TLDR: Never thouht id' feel any sort of brotherly love for an attorney.
Is Jeff happy?
The energy and passion cannot be denied. That Toto blew me away. I've shared countless times... To my music friends, for how it Must be done. No passion is No soul...
That Toto - Africa cover is out of this world.
Brilliant!
That was a different video. Show your love there.
Share your love for this cover here.
Why am I just now discovering Mike Masse? Wow, just wow.
My god, Scarborough Fair just made me have flashbacks to 1971. I was going to a convent school here in Australia and the Nuns used to make us sing this song in music classes. This was very well done. Haunting. What a beautiful song.
Their rendition of Space Oddity is spellbinding. Chills.
There is a cover of this from a Canadian Astronaut in the Space Station, David Bowie gave him permission to change a few words to fit the situation.
@@lawrencemay8671though i’m passed one hundred thousand… metres
I went to law school with Mike and he was super talented then and seems too only get better with age.! Wow just wow.
Thanks for listening, Jose!
The very best cover singer ever without a doubt..great guitarist/singer. Brilliant!#
Admittedly I'm only 4 songs in so far, but a big thank you for not packing this thing with ads!
There should be no ads between songs at all. Maybe one skippable ad at the end of the video.
Wow this is masterpiece bravo 👏👏👏
RUclips premium and the ads go away
Scarborough Fair. SO PURE. Gifted…so gifted…so happy to have found you. Hope to see you in concert.
EXCELLENT!!! Better than the original singers.
Mike and Jeff forever!
The world must know this guy...
It’s 4:00 am and I really should be sleeping, but just one more song, then one more, then one more… I can’t tear myself away. Such an amazing performance! 🥰
Ame n
I know what you mean.. Somebody stop me 👍 👌
WOW!!! How perfect are these two!! Smiling .... can't stop! My era!!!🎉🎉🎉❤
Oh great! Means I am in trouble tonight. I can never sleep at night.
Saw Mike last night in Clermont, Fla.what a talent, what a show. Played for three hours then greeted fans in lobby afterwards. Love his voice.
I would love to go for a pint and have to pleasure of seing these two play a gig... That place would become my "local".
Tears in Heaven got me, brother. I have friends who lost thier kids. Absolute perfection!
I just discovered this guy . I've been sharing everywhere ...lol
I'm from Philippines..I loved music and this two guys really catch my attention to listen because they are too good.very very clear.
To musicians , from another musician , you guys nail it.
Excellent.,,,,you two guys know how do .perfect rendition .I'll listen to this till I'm old an grey.BEAUTY.IM 70 now
The harmony part is wonderful too. Not that easy to do and sound great.
Harmony is just notes in a scale: but the timbre and control of the notes and voicing chemistry is magical. Absolutely astonishing. More passion and diligence than the originals.
Great musician lovely voice. A fantastic discover thank you youtube
This ain't no best of, Mike only gets better.. like fine wine
As you've said
There's no words to describe them BUT they're simply great!!! They make me feel young again!!! They brought music where it was meant to be. Since I'm on my last days, thank you for bringing my memories back and made me feel that I belong and made me feel that I left this Earth better than when I found it.
Mike and Jeff Rock!! Love the back up bocals
Two rounds of the latest, Covid-19 back to back with pneumonia with infections in both lungs along with swelling, was getting better - got hit with acute bronchitis this time. I have one Norwegian will power to live, Mike. You help it a lot with your tunes, ty sir! Bless ya's.🙏 🙏
You can't beat a stripped down cover. These guys smash it out of the park. Love it.
Have seen him several times in Connecticut at the Woodbury brewhouse. Absolutely phenomenal. One of the best nights of music you will ever witness. Absolutely one of the most talented musicians out there. Do not miss him
The backing vocals in Linger are incredible.
Off the chart good. That particular performance was like lighting in a bottle.
Those on Space Oddity too!
Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to be so good that I had to loop it again and again? I loved it. Well done, Brenda! Such timbre.
The backing vocals in Africa and every song add so much!!
Such a great tandem!
I do acoustic gigs like this and its so difficult to get right with no band or effects to hide behind. This guy is flawless in his song conviction. Impressive beyond belief!!
They are BOTH fantastic. Those harmony vocals & bass line add so much!
Are you kidding me , Wow you guys sweet harmony.:-)
Woaaahhhh
You guys are amazing man.
Keep it rocking 🙏❤️🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
True, indeed, an amazing compilation, they ( Mike and Jeff) were born and found each other for a common purpose -To make life on earth a little bit lighter...
We listen your show during surgeries !
I don't know how I stumbled across this, but WOW! LOVE IT
Brenda do not ever stop singing please. Keep sharing your beautiful voice with us
I’m late to the Masse show, but wow just wow! Blown away.
I'm back again for Africa. Amazing performance! Can't get enough
Just seeing this for the first time. This gave me chills.
Guys, this is insanely and insolently good ! 👍👏👏🎸
I love this. Seen it dozens of times. Everything is spot on and charming.

Such great talent! Mike and his band, really does awesome covers! God bless brothers!
Just listened to this again when I saw that Mike is going to be performing in the Boston area Feb. 2025. So good. Love the passion.
Jeff's voice is gold. I'm so jealous.
Another great example of musos who have mastered their instruments great duo raw acoustic playing and great harmonies could listen to them anytime
Mike Massé is my all new biggest inspiration ❤
Best cover duo I have ever heard!!!
OMG !!!! WOW !!!! Africa and Creep - goosebumps! I haven't heard anything better! Greetings from Sinaia, Romania! 🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴
This is easily the best version of this song! Wow. Me and the Doris love this!!❤
Really well done guys -- I haven't heard acoustic sets sound so true to the original, down to the notes -- and I'm a guitar player
who can recognize the details you've gone to the trouble of including, on an acoustic even!
One of the best Acoustic Duo
❤Your Listener from Philippines ❤
Am here again Mike ....whose wd me this chillin. monday of July? Sound of Silence really Timeless..loveu....
I been watching you for years Mike. You really have such a lovely tone and sound. Thanks for putting yourself out here for us. ❤
Mike's range is ridiculous! I wish I could see you perform in person. I would give anything to go back in time and be at these performances in person.
I want to see the continuation of this video! More please! I love it!!!!
Simply amazing!
trop fort et juste , bravo , belle voix et bon bassite , ce n'est pas un endroit pour vous , vous devriez creer et faire des concerts dans le monde merci

I listen to your music frequently and can’t wait until I can see you again. You brightened up LA that night man, the whole room was loving every minute of it.
The harmonies are ridiculously spot on
Studio musicians no doubt. Those harmony s gave me goosebumps. Absolutely amazing!
Jeff's a prosecuter and mike defense lawyer. Mike is a studio musician too. He streams live.
I don't think I have rewatched a youtube video as many times as this one. One of my favourite songs, executed flawlessly. The vocal quality for each singer is amazing and the harmonies are honestly jaw dropping.
His Rocketman cover is breathtaking!
Beautiful !!! Reminds Aussie pubs in my younger years 80s,,90s,Congratulations!!!
Great voice**!!!;..listening now with beating of my feet.hands on air ..superb!! Thanku Mike for the Music!!!!! The Boxer**"";;!!

Incredible.... what an inspiration....both of you rock😄🎉😄
I love it, these guys are impressive. I always love these unplugged version. Great harmonization.
I've cried thrice tonight over this alone. Thanks for making the guitars line up so well on Scarborough.
Ha, I was really on my twist when I wrote that. Barely remember. Gorgeous work regardless.
absolutely goated.
Some of these are absolutely better than the originals.
Space oddity made me cry.
Linger by the Cranberries makes me so sad and nostalgic. I don't even really know why, but it just does. It invokes some kind of melancholy that I can't explain. Sung beautifully and lovely guitar playing. Thank you.
Not just covers. But enhanced versions! The girl singing Linger is outstanding too.
NEW PAIR OF GEMS DISCOVERED TODAY !!! GREAT !!!!
These are some of the most amazing covers I have ever heard. You guys are simply great. I know I will be back again and again.
Mike is my secret treasure on youtube... I watch his lives with the same feeling I had when I first found the Africa cover back a few years now... these performances feel like family, and bring memories of a more beautiful and simple world. Love you guys!
Best cover playlist of classic rock!!❤❤❤ 🍻🇵🇭
Flawlessly crisp’ amazing…tough crowd wow
Wow!!!!! The intonation and execution of these covers are impeccable.
I cant get over how great this is. I can watch this performance 1000 times in a row. You guys nailed it....maybe better than the original.
Guys this is absolutely brilliant. The depth of what you create with just a bass, guitar and your voices is incredible. You truly are both masters of your craft
Those pipes on Africa my lord!!!
De France, ( North ) félicitations pour tous les opus ici !!! Grandiose, vraiment
Clear vocals, fantastic guitar chord renditions..you're making me shorten my sleeping time.
The Sound of Silence cover was exceptional what more can be said. A Paul Simon masterpiece done to perfection. Jeff Hall deserves props as well he is no slouch in his own right..
News flash .. Jeff Hall is AWESOME too! Great stuff Mike , thank you.
I had the surreal privilege of watching Mike in Manchester a couple of weeks ago.... it was emotional.

Please, if he is playing within 500 miles of you, go and see him; it will cost around £30. I love you, Mike!
