I've watched a lot of Mike's videos and enjoy reading the comments. People comment frequently that they are amazed of the lack of response of the patrons at "The Pie" where he's playing. I don't blame the pizza goers. The pizza must be pretty good and that's why they are there. But all the while here's a dude who loves to play and sing music. That's the beauty of these videos. Mike's giving each song 110% no matter what the response may be. The really cool thing is that Mike recorded 100's of these things and became this UA-cam Cover Hero.Think about this for a while. I bet in 30 years the next generation will be coming to UA-cam or whatever it might be called and discovering this guy playing this great music using nothing but his guitar and voice at "The Pie". Mike's interpretation of these classics will outlive us all! Now that's cool!
Thanks. The new UA-cam audio compression still bugs me. It's very apparent during the intro (the way the audio level jumps up and down). I hope they reconsider and get rid of it. I know a lot of people have complained.
The applause was good! I'm sure it was a small but reasonable crowd there to eat dinner. He's bringing it and they put the pizzas down to applause. That's meaningful for us acoustic performers.
The great news for everyone is that Mike and Jeff are becoming known and renowned across the globe. Took a while, but pure talent will always get noticed. Abd they in London perforing in 2016.
Sitting down to play and sing this song, I was cursing Pete and Roger for their performances and wondered if there was a good cover ... and I'm blown away by this. Outstanding bloody good.
This is the best acoustic cover I've seen, or probably will ever see of this song. I'm trying to learn this on acoustic and will be referring to this video a lot. Keep it up Mike!
This guy can literally play anything, what an immense talent he is a true professional who does great justice to some fantastic songs, even to the point of making them better, keep doing what you're doing Mike you're are an inspiration.
Yeah i can dig it I'm doing Pinball Wizard and your by far one of the best cover versions ive heard "sure plays a mean pinball" is definetly the best set of notes
Mike has all aspects, plays a mean guitar, can sing REALLY well and nails the notes.......highs/lows and plays with emotion. I can honestly say I have never seen anyone cover songs as well as he does........NEVER!
Absolutely amazing! For some reason I've become slightly obsessed with this song and I've recently listened to versions by The Who, Demos, Cover versions from well known artists and covers by unknown artists. I must say that this version stands up with them all! It's really difficult to play like Pete Townshend in strumming terms, let alone sing it live! Well done.....it's also helped me nail down certain guitar parts. Cheers, from Manchester, UK.
Awesome, you are so talented, I've been trying to learn this on acoustic during lock down, so I know how hard it is t play, you make it look effortlessly easy, great job, you've inspired me to keep at it though..
Fantastic! A performance like that with so much energy should have brought the house down. i m a converted fan now and will check out your other shows. thanks
This is fucking fantastic. Such a beautifully pure, piercing--but not shrill--upper register. Clear as a bell but with enough power and intensity that it isn't cloying. Thank you for sharing this.
I know the feeling - you put everything into the performance, and the audience just don't get it! Well... hey.. your UA-cam fans get it, so keep rocking .. we hear you!!! (and big respect to Pete Townsend of course !!!)

What a pathetic round of applause at the end! He just played his heart out and nailed it to perfection. Unbelievable!
Yes crowds can be weird - he was great. Sometimes you play badly but they like it. The best are when you play good and they like it.
Dude it's a puzza joint. They go there fir Pizza. Mike is the bonus
Needs to smash his guitar at the end to get the crowd pumped up.
True mate. It’s most likely the millennials that gave this fine lad the pathetic applause as they dint know good music without autotunes.
Wow, super excellent. Never heard a better acoustic version.

I go JUST for Mike.
You should also consider the fact hes recording it and there are no ambient mics for picking up room/audience noise....
I wish I could go there but I’m too far away
That pizza pie performer sure plays a mean acoustic guitar.

jesus christ. KILLER COVER
Cheesus Crust
Sitting down to play and sing this song, I was cursing Pete and Roger for their performances and wondered if there was a good cover ... and I'm blown away by this. Outstanding bloody good.
Not just good but the best.
Best cover of this song by far.
Pete Townshend would be proud of that! Brilliant Mike
This is the best acoustic cover I've seen, or probably will ever see of this song. I'm trying to learn this on acoustic and will be referring to this video a lot. Keep it up Mike!
Excellent interpretation, fantastic playing and superb voice !!
Agreed!
I'm watching this so i can sell my soul and the tips of my fingers to play it perfectly every time :)
Is there anything Mike can't sing or play and sound Absolutely FABULOUS? I don't think so!
This guy can literally play anything, what an immense talent he is a true professional who does great justice to some fantastic songs, even to the point of making them better, keep doing what you're doing Mike you're are an inspiration.
Man, when you hit those high notes with your voice, damn good man, damn good.
The best Pinball Wizard cover I've seen all my life, amazing!
Magic interpretation. Guitar great vocals great!
Yeah i can dig it
I'm doing Pinball Wizard and your by far one of the best cover versions ive heard

There's like 26 chord changes in that song.... Amazing job.
Mike has all aspects, plays a mean guitar, can sing REALLY well and nails the notes.......highs/lows and plays with emotion. I can honestly say I have never seen anyone cover songs as well as he does........NEVER!
Mike I like your take. A unique singing version that suits it perfectly. Very talented
