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.
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!
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
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.
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 !!!
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...
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.
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.
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.
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...
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
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....
absolutely blown away, i dont know what i expected but it definitely wasnt this... and 14 years ago!?! i was 5 when this cover was recorded, but if someone told me it was uploaded yesterday i'd absolutely believe them
Awesome! I watched this at least a dozend times, this is really one of the best versions. A bass, a guitar and 2 voices - nothing more is needed to match the vibes of this great song. Cheers from Germany!
What an arrangement, most artists wouldn't be able to pull this off even in a studio. That countdown seq is EVERYTHING!! I'm over the moon that I discovered your music b4 I die Jeff and Mike.
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!!!
Dear God... I am 68 yrs old, went to see 2001 Space Oditity, blew me away, love this song and the movie, TY... amazing!!! ❤❤❤😢
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!!
Who’s still watching these guys in 2024!? Clearly masters of their craft
Meeeeee
2025 now 🚀🌎
Dude, beast mode harmonies. Damn. Great overall.
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
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
This crowd should be ashamed of themselves not appreciating this incredible display of art and talent.
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
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.
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?)
Why they're so perfect for the pitch. Amazingggg❤❤❤❤❤
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.
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
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.
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 !!!

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 UA-cam. I would pay money to see them here
@@xwinglover rightly so..
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've lost count on how many times I've watched this cover. It's just so darn good!
Still going!

So sorry for your loss, Sandi. Thank you for sharing that.
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!
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.
This has been in my favorites for years and it NEVER gets old.
13 years to the day and still one of the best covers i've ever seen!
A masterpiece! They killed this cover!
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.
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. 🇧🇷
Here caused Venom 3, still ringing in my head. Best acoustic cover of this song. Thanks❤
2024: Listening this beautiful cover and enjoying this incredible music. Amazing cover guys!
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?
1:30 Bass solo - 1:33 Bass solo over
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 always come back to hear this masterpiece
Its crazy how many people come back to this everyday... this song is masterpiece!
They are the reincarnation of Bowie, his soul divided in these two guys💫❤💫
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
I'm from China, and this is the best cover I've ever heard!
I thought UA-cam is banned in China? 😂
@@ssiu yea go on congratulate the spaceman
Glorious 🙌😭
Melhor cover que vi dessa música
2022, and still the best cover on the market!
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.
This is the BEST version of a breath-taking song that has EVER existed.
This melody is space poetry
Escucho esta versión hace muchos años. Alucinante.
Listen to this at least once a month for the past 5 years now!! Love it!!!
Samee
I started to listen to David Bowie thanks to this cover
Bowie should never be covered by 99% of artists out there. You sir are in the rare 1%. Absolutely crushed this.
Those harmonies are honey to the ears. Awesome performance.🙏🎸🔥💯
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
That was really beautiful!
I know
Yes really BTF
This is amazing. Your voices are amazing together.
I listened to this in high school and I still listen to this day. Mike Masse and Jeff Hall are the best.
OUTSTANDING !!!
This must be the best cover on the Internet
Without a doubt!
great to see Jeff and his booming beautiful voice soaring in perfect harmony to Mike!
Who's listening in 2025?
Me
Me.
Me 🇫🇷
Me🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Simplesmente o melhor cover dessa música que já tive a alegria de ouvir! Parabéns!!!
Still keep coming back to these older videos. Love them so much.
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...

I knew this would be the best version of this song before even listening to it. Mike's songs are always the best.
You guys absolutely kill every song you cover. 14 years later and you're still killing it
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
That was incredible
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

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....
Not just the best cover of this Bowie classic... But I feel one of the best covers ever, any song.
Incrível incrível a performance do Jeff Hall.
Absolutely brilliant.
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?
Amazing.
A rendition to be proud of. RIP David Bowie ..the enigmatic, eccentric genius
❤ love it

The sound of this acoustic is other worldly!
You guys are fantastic! Your voices fit so well together.
Amazing.
From Indonesia with love.
Absolutely phenomenal rendition, well done lads, peace from UK
Everything about this is amazing. Harmonies are so close together. Both of you have legendary voices.
Best Space Oddity cover I've ever heard or watched..... Kudos Mike & Jeff
And David Bowie is smiling...that took my breath away.
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.
absolutely blown away, i dont know what i expected but it definitely wasnt this... and 14 years ago!?! i was 5 when this cover was recorded, but if someone told me it was uploaded yesterday i'd absolutely believe them
Mike and Jeff...
Y'all NAILED IT!!!

That was outstanding! You guys guys nail that. Awesome.
You guys are some of the best singers I’ve ever heard, and the playing is phenomenal. Insane talent.
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。
Awesome! I watched this at least a dozend times, this is really one of the best versions. A bass, a guitar and 2 voices - nothing more is needed to match the vibes of this great song. Cheers from Germany!
I'm doing seven shows in Germany next month. 🇩🇪 Come see me! mikemasse.com/concerts

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.
Jeff's 'Lift-off' baseline is so good!
Probably the only best cover of the song on internet..
Just discovering this now. Fantastic cover guys wow!
2022 and still giving us wows. Amazing.
