As a high school kid in the fall of 1986, I heard a new song. It’s one of the most vivid memories I have of hearing a song for the first time. I was sitting in my room, listening to the radio, waiting for them to play this new release, anticipating the first song in a long time from a band I adored. The song began, and I was entranced. It was like a reunion with an old friend. Such a strange blending of the new and the familiar. It was more*-more of that thing I loved so much as a kid in the 70’s. Yet still new. Then the chorus hit. And it hit me *hard*. The sound of that voice and those harmonies-it was one the biggest natural highs I’ve ever had. It had *that sound-that sound unmatched in music anywhere still to this day. I had tunnel vision-or at least tunnel hearing. The room around me disappeared, as I closed my eyes and was transported again on that guitar-shaped spaceship. If I’m in the right head space these days, and I hear that old song they used to play, I find myself again launched into space aboard that city-saving vessel, piloted by the immortal Brad Delp. Thanks so much for your work on “Amanda”, Brad. It will always be a special song to me. I offer my humble rendition in tribute to your unmatchable talent.
Oh, and the Rush shirt was for my friend Connie Goudreau, who is the biggest Rush fan I know. ;)

Recording notes:
The vocals chain = Neumann KMS 105 to UA 6176 to UA Apollo Quad to Cubase Pro 8
The guitar chain = Neumann KM 184's (stereo pair) to Great River ME-1NV x2 to UA Apollo Quad to Cubase Pro 8
I also recorded the pickup signal and processed it with the UA Sound Machine Wood Works plug-in, and blended it with the stereo mic signals.
Video was shot by Valia Masse, edited by Mike Masse. The camera was a Canon EOS 70D with a Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art lens. The video was edited in Sony Vegas Pro 13. - เพลง

Already bought 4 for April 30.. Nice evening in the city with Mm..
Great song and peformance. Theres a Amanda in my life right now and im facing the same dilema.
Love the Rush shirt!! Connie Goudreau - any relation to Barry?
@@LudwigSC93 His wife. I was actually trolling her, because she can't stand Rush. 🤣
I have never heard anyone nail Brad Delp's vocals like that. If Tom Scholz isn't aware of you, he damned well should be. That was absolutely amazing my friend.
Amen brother 🙌
I was thinking the same thing… If they are still touring, I don’t know why they don’t bring him on board. He has an unreal range
Scholz is the reason Boston broke up. He doesn't deserve another band.
@@eddie195777Scholz is Boston. He wrote 99.9% of the lyrics and music. The first album is all him recorded I. His basement with the add of Brad Delp on vocals.
This guy should be the new lead vocal for Boston.
You had me at the Rush shirt.
earworm of the century award winner
I was totally named after this song
Your parents kick ass.
+Amanda Owens Me too! Go us!
Amanda Strain Well..I Love You Amanda!💋
I’m gonna take you by surprise and make you realize Amanda.....I LOVE YOU
Amanda Strain did you ever get told you were conceived to this song? Parents do that sometimes lol
it simply doesnt get any better than this
The Rush shirt completes Mike's awesomeness
my wife's name is Amanda and this song has gotten me out of hot water more times than I care to admit lol.
Mike's so good, he can sing three-part harmony alone. Great cover, as always.
There's a device out there called the harmonizer by boss, run your mic through it and can program to add second, third, or even a fourth Harmony I believe. That's what I'm hearing you're right, either way he's good.
He tracked the parts himself
I never thought anyone could ever cover Delp.
You should do Can't Fight This Feeling// REO Speedwagon. Your voice is perfect for it! Big fan, love all your videos!
Man I thought I was listening to my CD. Perfect! Wish you lived here. We could be a new Boston. And this aint my first rodeo.Wonderful
Dear Boston,
JUST GIVE HIM THE GIG ALREADY!!
It really does not matter what song Mike does, he pretty much owns them all, and makes them his own! This man is an amazing talent! Truly flat out------fantastic!!!!
Brad Delp is a super tough vox to cover. Mike has the chops for it though ... great job!
Awesome version Mike, that really took me back to a great time. Thankyou v much.
Awesome talent. Nails every cover he does almost better than the original.
"It had *that* sound-that sound unmatched in music anywhere still to this day." Mike, I feel the same way. Great cover👍👍👍
sa rote le sang 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Literally clicked like 15 seconds in. Awesome.
wow,best cover I ever heard of this song.
You know the problem with music today is that most of it runs through an audio box and gets auto-tuned making people like Brittany Spears sound great. Perhaps that is why I enjoy music from the 70's and 80's because the artists that made it big required an incredible amount of talent. Mike you are a refreshing example of that talent and I love supporting you. Keep up the good work man.
Dude, freakin' awesome. Really enjoy how clean your vocals & production are. I'd love to hear more original stuff!
that voice...totally awesome.
I love hearing you do Boston Mike. Brad would be impressed and proud. Awesome job as always. ✌🏻😎
Great work Mike, this ranks right up there with "Africa".
Sooooooooo amazing - I love Boston and I love ............. the Voice of Mike Masse.
Thousands Thumbs up!
Love this! 😍♥️😍🥰🙌
I only have seven words, YOU ARE A PHENOMENAL VOCALIST and MUSICIAN!
It's uncanny how much you sound like Brad, especially on those high notes, what a wonderful tribute!
Going....Going....GONE! Another one out of the park! Well done sir! As usual😂
Ahh, another feel good song of the 80's! Brings back a ton of memories. Great cover!
Great cover! Everybody knows "More than a Feeling" but next to no one knows the other great Boston songs like "Amanda", "A Man I'll Never Be" and "Hollyanne"
Jesus, man...this is very much Delp. Time to scroll through and see which other Boston tunes you cover.
Thanks! There's a few others.
Awesome mike
Astounding!
Louis C.K. you sing and play great!! amazing talent!! ...seriously mike you rock, :-)
Your voice is so strong and so clear, and your cover was honestly breathtaking. Not the first song I heard from you, but this was done perfect. You conveyed the emotion, and hit the high notes with such ease. I can't even reach those notes, and I'm a woman lol. Definitely a fan! 😘
OMG-chills
Goosebumps!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a fantastic track. I think I’m right in thinking Mike laid his own harmony vocal tracks for this - just as Brad Delp did for much of Boston. I produces such a tight, perfect, pleasing sound. This was so good…
Wow!
This is like magic.
So beautiful!
This is a rather old song (not like i'm listening to Boston), but my father just happened to show me this video. Yeah! my daughter is called Amanda, an epic one when she grows up!
Simply Outstanding!
I'm a grown ass man that probably hasn't cried in over 20 years, yet here I am, lying in the dark with my headphones on and tears streaming down my face over the phenomenal sound of your vocals. Outstanding.
Beautiful!
Absolutely perfect
Great cover Mike. I was so bummed when I heard Brad Delp’s story. What an amazing voice and kind soul he was . Great to have you do justice to such a great song. I never got the opportunity to see Boston and its one great regret I’ve had. Life is here and gone . Tell people how much you love them while you can, you’ll regret it the rest of your days if you neglect to.
Blew my mind away..
Hell yes!!
Brilliant.
Wow!!! This guy is in his element!
sheer joy is an emotion that your songs provoke in me every time you strap on your guitar and let loose with your vocal talent.Thank you for every time I listen to you it is like a gift.
Beautiful.
Legend!
Fantastic voice!
wow just wow.
Bravo!!!
Awesome !!!
One of my favorites and you do a great job of it!
Magnificent!!
Awesome job Mike, you always nail the Boston tunes ... Brad would be proud!
Boston Boston was the first album I ever purchased. They remain my favorite band. Mike, we are not kiss'n-up when we say you hit Delp dead on. I would pay to see you with Boston...and so would every Boston fan. You would get a standing ovation.
All of his songs are great!
Mike, you are such an incredible talent! I was blown away the first time I heard you. I've never heard anyone even come close to Brad Delp. You absolutely NAIL it bro!!
Boston should be pounding your door down!!
Bravo!
