    If you listen carefully at the end, you hear me tell Jeff, "UA-cam's gonna be pissed," meaning that I expected to get some comments about the lack of audience response. We've sort of grown used to it. Some nights we get more vocal crowds, but this wasn't one of them.
    Thanks for the comment!

    @Scottinrichmond I'm capo'ed on the 4th fret, playing it in G (actually B). The studio version of the original is in C, so you'd capo the 5th fret to play it in C. But U2 never played it live in C, so I feel justified in lowering it a little, too. :) The chords I use are G, C, and F. Three chords and the truth.

      I don't have a capo ,lazy of me for not getting one , and I can't reach the high notes at my age , so play it in A , one of my all time favorite songs , it feels like a sad goodbye , those Cellos are so deep , and the last phrase is like a warning for all of us humans , incredible !, you do a great job on vocals , thank you.

    This is the song that almost every hard-core U2 fan that I know - including me - lists as one of their best pieces of work. That said, this is the best cover of OTH I’ve ever heard. Brilliant work, mate.

    I have been a fan of U2 since I was 13 (am 38 now). I have never once liked a single U2 cover....until today. I stumbled upon this after watching a clip of One Tree Hill from my hometown Auckland. Unbelievable cover, you absolutely nailed it. Stunning.

      Check out Mike's other U2 covers. Check out all of his covers. He is the best cover artist in the world imo. He actually impersonates the singer but at a muuuch higher level of voice quality. He sounds like a 22 year old Bono. The Radiohead covers are just ridiculous as are the Zeppelin covers.

    This song is great. When I was young I use to listen to this cassette every night to escape the bull s**t from my alcholic dad thanks for doing this song. It reminds me of who I am and where I came from.

    From a massive u2 fan who is a professional musician fro Glasgow, Scotland that was brilliant. I was so dissapointed for you that the audience didn't seem to appreciate how good that was. If I ever find myself in Salt Lake City I'm coming to see you. Superb.

  • @ldschmidt2367

    Mike Masse appears in my UA-cam feed periodically. This was the first time One Tree Hill rolled through. It is one of my favorite U2 songs and these guys did amazingly well. I hope people in the audience that night have discovered this video and realize what they were missing that night. This was simply awesome. If I'd lived in Salt Lake City at the time, I'd have been at the Pie Pizzeria every time Mike and Jeff were performing.

  • @Nostalgic_Neel

  • @blank5390
    @blank5390 10 років тому

    Everyone is so into their own conversations and drinking at this place they forget a band is playing. Put these guys on a stage in a unplugged setting and everyone would be astounded by their ability of awesome music !!! I would be so happy to pay and watch these guys all night !!!

  • @MissDistarr
    @MissDistarr 10 років тому +7

    Hadn't been by for a listen in a few months so thought I would stop by for what I believe is one of your best covers. As I listened to you, I realized how extremely hard this song must be to sing. Hard notes to hit and it has to strain your throat and voice. Of course this is my musically uneducated opinion, but this particular song has your vocal chords getting a major workout. And you nailed it.
    Lastly, I have to mention Jeff Hall. I love watching him play. Especially in this song. He starts rocking out, closes his eyes and his head gets to rocking out. From my perspective, he looks like he is genuinely loving that moment in time and he is a true joy to watch. Thank you for sharing your talent with us and please know we are grateful and have a great deal of respect for the talent of all the members involved in this band. Making music is your bit in life.

    Watched 100 of these videos (some 100 times) and just noticed the 5 string bass.
    Forgot all about this song at the end of the Joshua Tree. Great album that evokes a time of youthful hope that the world will change and a suspicious fear that it won't.

    Good job, guys. This is such a beautiful and moving song, a fitting funeral tribute for a man who must have been a beloved friend to the original artists.
    As many have said, the crowd's talkativeness and seeming indifference to this song is baffling and disappointing. So often this is the experience of gifted and talented people, to be casting their proverbial pearls before swine. Please don't lose heart for that, the world has always needed good music and art, whether we admit it or not.
    Kudos to that one applauder in the crowd lol

  • @maryannfryar8289

    Each time I hear this song it reminds me of living on the intra-coastal waterway in Wilmington, NC where they filmed the series One Tree Hill. One evening they sat up a barge w/ light because they were using my n'bors house and pool to shoot a scene. Of course the lighting was so bright that I didn't have to use my lights in the cottage. All the actor had to say was "damnit Patton" and I think it took 50 takes! I truly love this song and hope that you play it in the U2 Stream you are planning. Wheeee

    and grab them and shake them and say what is wrong with you?... lol
    Mike you do such an AWESOME job on your covers. I really hope you back it to the big time, Your voice is fantastic.
    Please do some more classic U2. :)

I was in college when the Joshua Tree was released, and saw U2 twice on that tour (at Wembley and Cardiff). This song brings back so many memories for me, and you absolutely nail it ...btw why do women ALWAYS have to talk when musicians are playing?
