The only other cover than i believe ties with this is , in my opinion, was chris hadfield singing it. The fact that he sung it in space, and got the seal of approval by david bowi, was beautiful.
guys with their talent should play stadiums, instead they're stuck in a pizza place where people come to stuff their mouths not to appreciate great music, ofc there's not gonna be any excitement...
Just blows my mind, to think, that up until about a year ago, you could just walk in this pizza place, any time, and for the price of a beer, listen to them play all night-and they did this for like 15 years. Unreal !!!
Imagine you and your buddies decide to just go out for pizza and a couple beers, walk in and see there’s a band there and think “oh cool we’ll hear some music” and then you hear this masterpiece
I'll be honest, Mike was phenomenal, but I feel like Jeff absolutely nailed the harmonies, sound effects, and bass line. Nothing against ya Mike, but hats off to Jeff. Excellent cover, both of you!
This is, by a very large margin, the best David Bowie cover I've EVER had the pleasure to lay my ears on. Blessed be you two. Congrats from Brazil, keep rocking.
Do you know why Mike had a big smile on his face throughout this song? it was because he had Jeff sitting beside him with those incredible harmonies. This is an incredible performance by both these guys and still the best cover 14 years on in 2023.
14 years on you bring a giant grin to my aging face. So well done, and two guys in a pizza joint. The harmony! The high notes. The transitions. So good.
Our son SSG William Seth Ricketts, was KIA in Afghanistan 02/27/10. He was a big Bowie fan and this song was played at his funeral. The is one of the best acoustic covers I've heard. Although, being a bias Mom, the cover done by our other son, Ben is my favorite. Thanks for the memory, on today, 02/28/18, 8 years and one day...
R.I.P David Bowie. This was one of the first videos that I wanted to watch, but I watched others that he personally performed in first this morning. He was such a genius...
When I first listened to this song like 4-5 years ago I had goosebumps and enjoyed this song immensely. Now today after not hearing it for 3+ years I'm goosebumping once again. AMAZING PERFORMANCE.
I'm not a huge fan of accoustic covers in general, but there's tears in my eyes. You guys are fucking great. I always listen to this cover coming back home at night...after a shitty day this piece makes me feel good again. Thank you.
kristijan kalafatic wait... not that your name is pronouncable, but are you taking shots at me? lmao, i was paying the musicians a compliment for being awesome, and you come at me in some foreign jibberish, then call me ugly... are you 12? i thought people didn't act like that anymore. re-read what i wrote, and learn english better before you go throwing out your pointless internet anger, and i'm actually not ugly, but thank you "shit of my ass" who talks like that? lmao
maybe in your country, but here it doesn't mean ruined, it's a compliment. wtf is wrong with everyone? i am paying these guys a damn compliment for being awesome, and everyone is attacking my phonetics? you know, where your from, they probably call cigarettes "fags" right? jeeze, everyone just pay attention to them playing...
Hey Mike and Jeff, this comment is from a very remote Island of India, in Bay of Bengal, called Andaman and Nicobar Islands (google it). My God what a performance. One of the best cover I heard recently. Don't know how many time I played it in loop. Mike you got fantastic voice and Jeff you were wonderful. God Bless you both....
10 years i've been listening to this masterpiece of a cover. wonder what these guys are doing now but just want to thank you for getting me through school on hard days
I know this cover was from 10 years ago, but it’s still one of my absolute favorites..it’s so good! Wish I could have been there to see it! Right on guys.
*For a complete list of upcoming concert dates and tickets, visit my site: **mikemasse.com/concerts*
I am in NC but would seriously fly there to see you and Jeff! You guys rock!!!
Oke😉
Damn ,damn good!
Amazing! Beautiful!!! Clap! Clap! Clap!
@@leolopes4072 ground control to leo😂
Jeff's countdown voice - criminally underrated
Not to mention his percussion
Agreed
Nada a ver, mano! Essa versão ficou perfeita...
SEV-UHN
Jeffs vocals period! This is freaking awesome!!!
Who’s still watching these guys in 2024!? Clearly masters of their craft
Meeeeee
2025 now 🚀🌎
this is by far , the best cover of this song. Period.
The only other cover than i believe ties with this is , in my opinion, was chris hadfield singing it. The fact that he sung it in space, and got the seal of approval by david bowi, was beautiful.
Agreed
one of the best in general..
I agree. Ever.
These dudes deliver studio quality vocals LIVE like they're not even trying. Absolutely astounding.
The brief smattering of applause is embarrassing. These guys absolutely killed it!!
What the fuck dude, there should have been a bigger applause for them. That beginning was absolutely perfect. The rest of the song was impeccable too.
guys with their talent should play stadiums, instead they're stuck in a pizza place where people come to stuff their mouths not to appreciate great music, ofc there's not gonna be any excitement...
Clap guys, Hooch is crazy!
Mr. Moseby Right?
Yeh. I feel the same on every song he plays. Esp radio head songs he is so good at it. Lousy crowd.
@@syjutaj his creep cover is madness
Just blows my mind, to think, that up until about a year ago, you could just walk in this pizza place, any time, and for the price of a beer, listen to them play all night-and they did this for like 15 years. Unreal !!!
Tom Cox
And the frustrating thing is it happens all over the world. So many don't get their time in the light
As an Australian all I can do
Is appreciate them from RUclips. I would pay money to see them here
@@xwinglover rightly so..
Imagine you and your buddies decide to just go out for pizza and a couple beers, walk in and see there’s a band there and think “oh cool we’ll hear some music” and then you hear this masterpiece
dude that'd be a night to remember
10 years and this cover is still the best on youtube :)
12 years now.
@@porkyn2006 Oct. 2021
June 2022
@Robotikisme February 2023 still the best cover
Music wise, yes
Absolute Chad move of shooting it IN THE ISS: Nope
Both his and Chris Hadfields are stellar though (get it?)
2:04 tell me he didn’t sound like Bowie. Go on. Do it.
-Omega Zero- I thought he sounded so much like Bowie that it was spooky.
Damn
Yeah, Mike's the best.
Ima say it, but I don’t mean it.
He doesn’t sound like David Bowie.
@@donna3465 It's so peculiar and amazing at the same time.
I'll be honest, Mike was phenomenal, but I feel like Jeff absolutely nailed the harmonies, sound effects, and bass line. Nothing against ya Mike, but hats off to Jeff. Excellent cover, both of you!
Mike did all the harmonies as Jeff naturally sings an octave below him.
yeah it was the bassists song here but the vocal harmony is bewildering. im lost
Sorry i disagree. Thats a pure group effort. One doesnt work without the other. Together they sound how they sound and thats the magic about this act
Mike does the back vocal by singing the highest octave and Jeff sings the lead. It's exactly how David Bowie sings, simple as that.
Quentin Lovejoy the bassline was simplified most definitely but he needed to sing. That’s the only problem I guess
This is, by a very large margin, the best David Bowie cover I've EVER had the pleasure to lay my ears on.
Blessed be you two. Congrats from Brazil, keep rocking.
Agreed :)
Concordo.
Olha o cover da Alexa
It’s awesome!
Realmente é o melhor cover
Dude, beast mode harmonies. Damn. Great overall.
You two guys hit it right out of the galaxy! Amazing rendition of one of my favourite Bowie songs. Thanks so much for posting this.
Do you know why Mike had a big smile on his face throughout this song? it was because he had Jeff sitting beside him with those incredible harmonies. This is an incredible performance by both these guys and still the best cover 14 years on in 2023.
Jeff's tone REALLY makes this cover. Exquisite!
+Shawn McLaughlin He's awesome.
yeah, Bowie was cutting multiple audio tracks and mixing them on separate channels to get this sound. But they reproduced it nicely
Shawn McLaughlin yep. Jeff carries this one. Killer skills from both of them.
Awesome
Agree. If I could get that tone from my bass. What's the secret? Beautiful music.
I really love Jeff's vocals in this rendition. That countdown...
Beautiful bass playing. You're an inspiration, Jeff!
Yeah. I was just thinking that. Mike has amazing pipes.
But Jeff was as equally awesome.
it's the best version of this song that I've seen.
+Haitchpeasauce Thank you !
YES! That countdown caught my attention for sure!
That was really beautiful!
I know
Yes really BTF
I've lost count on how many times I've watched this cover. It's just so darn good!
Still going!
I would be standing and clapping like a madman if I randomly saw this live at the pub. These guys have amazing passion and talent.
1:30 Bass solo - 1:33 Bass solo over
Back for my weekly viewing.
ryatat dam, u can wait a whole week!?
And I’m back again.
Rolando b still coming back?
This is Ground Control to Rolando b.
still here! one of the best covers ever.
Absolutely absolutely brilliant. 11/10, would pay actual money to see live.
We in England are getting to see Mike and Jeff in concert in April. Cannot wait.
+Gary Peace when do we in NEW England get to do the same?
Here caused Venom 3, still ringing in my head. Best acoustic cover of this song. Thanks❤
14 years on you bring a giant grin to my aging face. So well done, and two guys in a pizza joint. The harmony! The high notes. The transitions. So good.
This crowd should be ashamed of themselves not appreciating this incredible display of art and talent.
13 years to the day and still one of the best covers i've ever seen!
Our son SSG William Seth Ricketts, was KIA in Afghanistan 02/27/10. He was a big Bowie fan and this song was played at his funeral. The is one of the best acoustic covers I've heard.

So sorry for your loss, Sandi. Thank you for sharing that.
My favorite part was 0:00 - 4:57
JAJAJJAJJAA
Eda Tantekin haha that super original joke is so funny
Uzayda en garip sekilde suzuluyorum
what a coincidence :D
A masterpiece! They killed this cover!
And David Bowie is smiling...that took my breath away.
This must be the best cover on the Internet
Without a doubt!
I've probably watched this a hundred times. As a lifelong musician this may be one of the best covers I've ever heard. Thanks for sharing this.
I started to listen to David Bowie thanks to this cover
Man, if only I could’ve heard this in person.
R.I.P David Bowie. This was one of the first videos that I wanted to watch, but I watched others that he personally performed in first this morning. He was such a genius...

Its crazy how many people come back to this everyday... this song is masterpiece!
2022, and still the best cover on the market!
Listen to this at least once a month for the past 5 years now!! Love it!!!
Samee
They are the reincarnation of Bowie, his soul divided in these two guys💫❤💫
A rendition to be proud of. RIP David Bowie ..the enigmatic, eccentric genius
Jeff's 'Lift-off' baseline is so good!
Bowie should never be covered by 99% of artists out there. You sir are in the rare 1%. Absolutely crushed this.
When I first listened to this song like 4-5 years ago I had goosebumps and enjoyed this song immensely. Now today after not hearing it for 3+ years I'm goosebumping once again. AMAZING PERFORMANCE.
Best cover. Play all the time here in my pub! People love it. Greetings from Brazil, brothers!
Thank you for spreading the music. I look forward to coming back to Brazil, hopefully soon. 🇧🇷
This is the BEST version of a breath-taking song that has EVER existed.
I'm not a huge fan of accoustic covers in general, but there's tears in my eyes. You guys are fucking great. I always listen to this cover coming back home at night...after a shitty day this piece makes me feel good again. Thank you.
I always come back to hear this masterpiece
Amazing.
From Indonesia with love.
Sou do Brasil e posso falar de boa ,esse é o melhor e maior cover de dessa música.
concordo plenamente, eu tenho isso de ficar ouvindo vários covers tbm kkkkk
Tem o da Lady Heroine também
holy crap, you guys murdered that song, that was AWESOME!!!
like shit my pants amazing, the guys at that bar watching your act are spoiled. i don't normally leave comments, you guys are the balls!

Tears in my eyes.
RIP David.
Really good :) Great harmonies.
kjjmusic planet earth is blue
This melody is space poetry
Great song! Perfect performance! Cheers from Moscow, Russia 🤗
The best version I have ever heard in my entire life. And I’ve heard a lot of them. Wow
I'm from China, and this is the best cover I've ever heard!
I thought RUclips is banned in China? 😂
@@ssiu yea go on congratulate the spaceman
When the two voices came together, just wow. Trippy.
Its honestly on the level of Lennon and Maccartney almost imo
Escucho esta versión hace muchos años. Alucinante.
2024: Listening this beautiful cover and enjoying this incredible music. Amazing cover guys!
This is amazing. Your voices are amazing together.
Not just the best cover of this Bowie classic... But I feel one of the best covers ever, any song.
This blows all other covers out of the water!!
I knew this would be the best version of this song before even listening to it. Mike's songs are always the best.
Truely believe David would be looking down on this with his cheeky smile and say well done chaps.
Probably the only best cover of the song on internet..
Hey Mike and Jeff, this comment is from a very remote Island of India, in Bay of Bengal, called Andaman and Nicobar Islands (google it). My God what a performance. One of the best cover I heard recently. Don't know how many time I played it in loop. Mike you got fantastic voice and Jeff you were wonderful. God Bless you both....
great to see Jeff and his booming beautiful voice soaring in perfect harmony to Mike!
Melhor cover que vi dessa música
This is the best cover of this song - I mean utter classic - I've ever heard!
Mike it's fabulous! Ever make it to England?
Dude, beast mode harmonies. Damn. Great overall.
And David Bowie is smiling...that took my breath away.
You guys absolutely kill every song you cover. 14 years later and you're still killing it
Glorious 🙌😭
I listened to this in high school and I still listen to this day. Mike Masse and Jeff Hall are the best.
Jeff totally nailed those vocals! :)
Simplesmente o melhor cover dessa música que já tive a alegria de ouvir! Parabéns!!!
Amazing.
Soooo goooood omg
10 years i've been listening to this masterpiece of a cover. wonder what these guys are doing now but just want to thank you for getting me through school on hard days
omg is like david bowie is singing in the video. amazing voice.
The sound of this acoustic is other worldly!
Best Space Oddity cover I've ever heard or watched..... Kudos Mike & Jeff
brilliant 👏
Perfect.
More amazing than these great performers is their audience. I mean, there should be standing ovations after every of their covers.
I've felt this deep right now. This harmony with Jeff is magnificient ! I'm so happy to have found someone who can cover all of my favorites classic.
Mike has live virtual shows on You Tube every Friday and Saturday night at 7:00 pm (Mountain time). They are alot of fun. Tune in this weekend.
Been watching these covers on and off for a long time (because they sound amazing) but it floors me how each one is better than the last.
best cover
Wow... I would have thought this was David Bowie and his band. Excellent!
I know this cover was from 10 years ago, but it’s still one of my absolute favorites..it’s so good! Wish I could have been there to see it! Right on guys.
Hoooly shit man, this cover is just AMAZING. Who the hell can dislike something like this. Greetings from Perú.
La mejor versión de esta canción, increíble, viva el Perú carajo!
wow. outstanding performance !
❤ love it
This song has a strong melancholy feeling to it I love it
the best cover I have ever heard of this song
That was outstanding! You guys guys nail that. Awesome.
Unbelievable. This is the most amazing video I’ve ever seen, and I was moved by your voice. I’ll support you guys from Japan 🇯🇵
素敵な歌をありがとう。
Those harmonies are honey to the ears. Awesome performance.🙏🎸🔥💯
That was F-ing Awesome.
