I have been a live sound engineer for over 30 years and I am completely amazed by the quality of your performance and overall talent. I have worked with everyone from James Brown to 40s Big Band and could listen you all night. Amazing, please don't stop sharing your talent, its a gift to everyone who hears you.
You guys are wayyyyyyy too good to be playing in a Pizzaria....it should have been a jam packed stadium with thousands of screaming fans....Mike your voice is something else
Some of the critical singing techniques didn't come naturally. So I had to unlearn some things when it came to vocal placement and vowel modulation, breathing, support, etc. A good teacher can spot your trouble areas and help you correct them. Some people just figure that stuff out naturally. I figured out about 70% of it, and needed guidance on the rest. Mind you, I've "unlearned" some of the things I was taught, too, so some bad habits persist.
Your hard work is so humbling Bless you - this is one of my favorite songs to sing - and you breathed fire into it I’m gonna use this as my practice track to try and one day reach 😅
Someone help - I have fallen into a click hole of Mike Masse stuff and become unproductive at work. Mike, you and your bandmates are crazy talented. Whatever level of success you've reached isn't high enough. Keep jamming.
I was 40 when that was posted, and I'll let you do the math.... I started singing in 9th grade, and I was pretty horrible for a few years until I learned how to breathe and support properly.
Mike Massé Wow... so that’s how long it takes! It all makes sense now. I mean...I can reach the notes, but I can’t play guitar for shit when trying to play & sing at the same time.
Mike it still slaps me as absurd to watch these wonderful covers ring out across the pizzaverse to a quiet audience. I would collude with homicidal aliens to have your voice.
I think some of the credit should go for writing the song . that goes for Bono :-) nevertheless as i always say, they are the best cover band in the world ! moreover, anyone who has been to a U2 concert knows they give one hell of a show.
This is so freaky - I was thinking the EXACT same thing when watching the One cover just now - Ain't it funny ;) - The EXACT same thing - Although, you can't fault Bono - The reason he made it, is a combination of luck and raw determined will power with a great band
First time I ever saw U2 - in SLC - was with The Alarm as the opening band, and I thought the same thing about The Alarm. Only luck of the draw made U2 a bigger band, because in 1983, the Alarm was a better band... and they are still touring too, by the way.
One of my favorite things about the Internet is watching my friends' reactions when they see a Mike Massé Live At Pie Pizzeria video for the first time. I also find it incredible that U2 has to play this song live in a lower key because Bono can't touch the high notes, but Mike nails them with ease. Legend.
I can't believe it's been 13 years since i first heard this cover. And even today i still come back to this, listening to it while drinking a fine glass of wine and just get lost in this on loop, amazing work ❤
Vocals aside, the best thing about this performance is the guitar work, especially The Phil. The delay and the tone are absolutely perfect. It honestly sounds like Bono, Adam, and The Edge sat down in a pizza place to play a show (Larry wasn't invited...). I continue to be blown away by every performance you post. Please keep on doing what you do, because the world is a better place with your covers in it.
I wonder where those 48 dislikes came from.. probably from people who don't know anything about music or at least feelings. This song was amazing either way, but you guys made it incredible. Wish I could see you guys perform this version real life some time. Speechless..
This is one of my favourite songs, ever. Not many could pull off a cover, but this is stunning! Mike's voice is perfect and the guitars and bass are flawless. I'm in awe of these guys.
You do realise you would literally be worshipped in the UK, amazing work you two. Literally is incredibly inspiring and amazing to listen to. Part of my daily routine from now on.
If I ever win the lottery/Euromillions I'd reach out to Mike! Free holiday, bring everyone along all on me but you've gotta play a couple gigs for us all!!
This is the best part of working on a computer all day at home, I get to listen to the best of everybody. Downside is I have to watch because it's so unbelievably excellent.
There is so much talent out there and then I hear Mike for the first time by simple accident. I spent 3 hours in the middle of the night listening to you and learning about you because I could t believe what my ears were hearing. The only thing I can possible conclude is the difference in listening to you is I hear a voice who is backed up with love & passion towards authenticity for music that inspires. I will certainly watch you for the next few years to see if you make it anywhere near Texas because I will be front row. Anyone hearing this man, please tip him!!!
Best cover of any song I have ever heard live or online. Have shared with my entire family. Its absolutely absurd how good this is. Just incredible. Other-worldly. -Cheers
I have now found what I am looking for! I stumbled upon this on accident. I rarely post comments but how could I not do so. The vocals, the bass, wow! Amazing.
If there is a better singer on youtube, I don't know who it is... In fact, Mike is FAR better than 99% of the "rich 'n famous" singers out there today.
Im from Ireland and seen U2 a bunch of times and bono really can hit those notes live. I sing and play lead guitar in a band and I know how hard it is to sing in bonos register. Honestly Mike masse is without a doubt the best and most impressive vocalist ive heard. so many singers cant sing their studio best live and it shows when they perform. Mike is in a league of his own really strong clear clean and soulful vocals. A true wonder :D Keep it up you are inspiring millions!! myself included:D
Wow! That is a stunning cover. I think my plans for this afternoon have now changed. I'm watching all your videos instead!! :-) Thanks for such great music.
This cover of one of U2's most iconic songs is absolutely beautiful! Mike Masse, Jeff Hall and The Phil did a stunning job of capturing the emotion of the song while adding their own unique spin on it. Incredible performance!
I don't know what brought me here but all I know is that I just got the ticket to see you in Boston in 3 weeks after spending the whole night listening to your mind-blowing songs!!!
Sign to who? He seems happy not needing to be signed by anyone, same with countless others in this age and good for them, corrupt. Talent carries itself with hard work and this guy looks like he really knows hard work. The problem is covers can be appreciated for years but how much will they bring you, you need to create something yourself to leave a mark, talent or not, you have to write something beautiful and have a sprinkle of luck.
This audience don’t seem to realise that they’re witnessing true god-given musical talent. These guys should be performing at Madison Square Garden to a capacity crowd!

Until now.
I've found what I'm looking for.
Points!
Gracias Mike👍
Mike Masse best I ever heard !! all the way from jersey. You should play here in the capital @Mill Hill Saloon in Trenton, NJ .
Mike Masse You are amazing!!!
+Luke C well played

It's very good
@@michpackfanno, it is fckn amazing
very accurately stated@@DaeViZ0n3
São artistas de primeiro gabarito o vocalista canta bem demais .👏👏👏
Every now and then I come back to this video. What an amazing cover of my favorite U2 song.
Scattered claps in a bar? Geez. This needed a standing ovation from a full house at Madison Square Garden!
Polpiv4tifish so true...
its like they are preforming at Moes Bar from the Simpsons :(
LDP Guitars t
Its Utah what do you expect lol
Perfect!!!!!
You guys are wayyyyyyy too good to be playing in a Pizzaria....it should have been a jam packed stadium with thousands of screaming fans....Mike your voice is something else
Anybody just keep coming back to this song time and time again? The harmony of all 3 of them playing together. Just amazing.
me
At least 100 times now… they never get old!
Some of the critical singing techniques didn't come naturally.

Know of any good coaches in Utah?
Your hard work is so humbling
Bless you - this is one of my favorite songs to sing - and you breathed fire into it
I’m gonna use this as my practice track to try and one day reach 😅
Mike, your higher register is seriously flawless. absolutely stunning vocals.
Spot On!
Yeah his voice reminds me of John Cowan. Beautiful!
It's crazy how good Mike is with the high notes, just wow
On Linger his harmony was unbelievable
Someone help - I have fallen into a click hole of Mike Masse stuff and become unproductive at work. Mike, you and your bandmates are crazy talented. Whatever level of success you've reached isn't high enough. Keep jamming.
When he started singing the first words, I already knew he was going to nail the whole thing.
I was 40 when that was posted, and I'll let you do the math.... I started singing in 9th grade, and I was pretty horrible for a few years until I learned how to breathe and support properly.
Mike Massé Wow... so that’s how long it takes! It all makes sense now. I mean...I can reach the notes, but I can’t play guitar for shit when trying to play & sing at the same time.
Just discovered you tonight, June 30, 2020. You are a wonderful talent, Mike. Hope you come to Cleveland/Akron some day.
you are something else bro. Perhaps the best vocals I've ever heard. Sweet\
Mike it still slaps me as absurd to watch these wonderful covers ring out across the pizzaverse to a quiet audience. I would collude with homicidal aliens to have your voice.
your voice is wonderful, mike! keep at it!
In an alternate universe these guys are playing to 80,000 people and Bono is slinging pizzas
I think some of the credit should go for writing the song . that goes for Bono :-) nevertheless as i always say, they are the best cover band in the world ! moreover, anyone who has been to a U2 concert knows they give one hell of a show.
Man this is the best comment I've ever read on youtube! Quality
This is so freaky - I was thinking the EXACT same thing when watching the One cover just now - Ain't it funny ;) - The EXACT same thing - Although, you can't fault Bono - The reason he made it, is a combination of luck and raw determined will power with a great band

Bono has a great voice -if these guys were writing songs like this they would be in a stadium full of fans . Best cover on the internet by far
One of the best voice i’ve ever heard in my 34 years of existence.
I have no idea why U2 have never been able to get this song right live. This is literally a perfect recreation.
If I arrived in a pub with musicians like this, I really would applaud them.
One of my favorite things about the Internet is watching my friends' reactions when they see a Mike Massé Live At Pie Pizzeria video for the first time. I also find it incredible that U2 has to play this song live in a lower key because Bono can't touch the high notes, but Mike nails them with ease. Legend.
Truly beautiful, as I sit awake unable to sleep in bed, earphones in. Truly beautiful.
I can't believe it's been 13 years since i first heard this cover. And even today i still come back to this, listening to it while drinking a fine glass of wine and just get lost in this on loop, amazing work ❤
This is a success story. Mike has made such a career for himself through hard work and talent. I couldn't be happier for you Mike.
I found what I was looking for today 10 years later.
This cover 😊
This man deserves vocalist of the century! Don't know how three musicians could possibly do any better.
I literally would have screamed had I heard this in person. What an amazing cover.
Jesus christ Mike, your voice is an angel in disguise
This is why I love the internet's light side. Listening to this from the southern side of Africa. Absolutely magical.
Vocals aside, the best thing about this performance is the guitar work, especially The Phil. The delay and the tone are absolutely perfect. It honestly sounds like Bono, Adam, and The Edge sat down in a pizza place to play a show (Larry wasn't invited...). I continue to be blown away by every performance you post. Please keep on doing what you do, because the world is a better place with your covers in it.
He's awesome. Edge alter ego
Mike your voice is absolutely stunning. Beautiful cover. Thank you to all musicians. No matter where you are we still listening the perfection
Undoubtedly the best cover on TH-cam so far.
This would make Bono blush. God DAMN!! This was absolutely perfect, this brought a tear to my eye. Rare reaction for me! Juat blown away by this one ❤
What a range of vocals this man has; incredible
Utah...you are so freaking lucky to have these guys!!! Where the hell is the applause?!!! OMG! Makes me so mad! You boys are amazing!
whatever delay or tone he has on that strat is absolutely perfect. and the higher register vox is phenom. fuck this is a good cover
I think I enjoy their U2 covers the best, but I'm still listening to their repertoire, and I like it all!
I wonder where those 48 dislikes came from.. probably from people who don't know anything about music or at least feelings. This song was amazing either way, but you guys made it incredible. Wish I could see you guys perform this version real life some time. Speechless..
You all are wonderful. Thanks for finding our hearts with your music🩵
Probably the best cover of this song that I’ve ever heard.
Plain and simple, Mike Masse should be a star, best singer on TH-cam, bar none
Just...stumbled across some of the best covers I've ever heard. Mike's got some pipes!
I can't help but keep coming back here. The chemistry is magic.
I could listen to these guys all afternoon, and sometimes I do. Best acoustic act you'll ever find. Thanks Mike and company for the great vibes.
This is one of my favourite songs, ever. Not many could pull off a cover, but this is stunning! Mike's voice is perfect and the guitars and bass are flawless. I'm in awe of these guys.
Just wanna walk up to the singer and tell him what an incredible voice he has. Really is special, won't find another voice like that!
Magic. with the hearing I have left I choose to listen to this
absolutely incredible
You do realise you would literally be worshipped in the UK, amazing work you two. Literally is incredibly inspiring and amazing to listen to. Part of my daily routine from now on.
If I ever win the lottery/Euromillions I'd reach out to Mike! Free holiday, bring everyone along all on me but you've gotta play a couple gigs for us all!!
The guitar, bass, background vocals by Phil & of course Mike's killer vocals were on point! Somewhere Bono is watching this in awe.
10 years baby still my fav cover
So lovely to see a number, that Jeff actually are completely in to..
Seriously guys I cannot stop listening to you. Your music is infectious!
This is the best part of working on a computer all day at home, I get to listen to the best of everybody. Downside is I have to watch because it's so unbelievably excellent.
HOLY SHIT...I did not expect that voice. Well done!
There is just something awesome about this. No beautification and props. All about the music. Damn well done.
Mike you are definitely a guy that does a lot of justice and then some to most covers you play, well done again! you are a great musician.
speechless. This is the simplest and finest way of expressing what music is all about.Perfection Mike.
Goosebumps all over, amazing performance Mike. Such awesome talent, I've been a fan for a while now, brilliant work
There is so much talent out there and then I hear Mike for the first time by simple accident. I spent 3 hours in the middle of the night listening to you and learning about you because I could t believe what my ears were hearing. The only thing I can possible conclude is the difference in listening to you is I hear a voice who is backed up with love & passion towards authenticity for music that inspires. I will certainly watch you for the next few years to see if you make it anywhere near Texas because I will be front row. Anyone hearing this man, please tip him!!!
I can feel the passion in his voice!
Wow. I saw this while in Coronavirus lockdown.
Good job guys! Loved it!
Now I've found what I'm looking for.
Mike. I love your covers. You change your voice to sound like Bono ,Elvis, Elton John etc. Excellent!
Your fantastic talent diserves better public...THE BEST covers on the world...
I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and i really wanna fly to Salt Lake City to see you in the Pie Pizza!! Your performances are Legen......DARYYY!
The original is a great songbut this is a whole league above that. Everything is spot on
Best cover of any song I have ever heard live or online. Have shared with my entire family. Its absolutely absurd how good this is. Just incredible. Other-worldly. -Cheers
I have now found what I am looking for! I stumbled upon this on accident. I rarely post comments but how could I not do so. The vocals, the bass, wow! Amazing.

Wow! That is a stunning cover. I think my plans for this afternoon have now changed. I'm watching all your videos instead!! :-) Thanks for such great music.
Mike, you're so talented, you are helping the snow melt here in eastern Canada. !
That blows the roof off!!! AWESOME!!
Can't avoid shedding a few tears every time i lay down, and listen to this...
Just got here and am absolutely stunned. Great vocals especially for a higher pitched song. Plus the harmonization parts are killer.
This cover of one of U2's most iconic songs is absolutely beautiful! Mike Masse, Jeff Hall and The Phil did a stunning job of capturing the emotion of the song while adding their own unique spin on it. Incredible performance!
One of me favorite songs - great cover really great.
the voice of this man ... like an angel
Dude you make me happy!
That's the most I could hope for. Glad to hear it.
Mike Masse
Mike do you have any plans on possibly coming to western Canada?
Very very nice job on the vocals
The best cover I've ever seen in youtube. Hey Mike, your vocal range is like the original song. Freaking awesome, Mike and Jeff !!!!
OMG! I'm going to cry! The guitar intro...holy cow! I LOVE this song!
I can so tell how much music means to you and you are AMAZING I have listened to this so many times haha.
Almost 7 years since Mike posted this. It is the 1st time hearing it for me tonight. This goes into my favorites. I hope to find more :}
I found what I'm looking for! Great cover guys!
Absolutely perfect cover one my favourite u2 song .Good luck friends from USA
Loving your work from over here in New Zealand!
Even though it isn't your own song, but with this performance, you should be in an musical hall of fame !
Thanks Mike (& friends)
"I'm not a man who likes to swear", but Mike , you are (freakin') sensational!!
I don't know what brought me here but all I know is that I just got the ticket to see you in Boston in 3 weeks after spending the whole night listening to your mind-blowing songs!!!
best cover there is, of this song
WOW...no words to describe such a talent...I looooove it...Mike...you're my man!
Awesome guys. Just awesome!
What a voice
Mike, I've said it before, how the hell are you not signed? Travesty! Still watch these regularly!! You should do a full band album!
+Matt Willis Video Productions Thanks! I actually did, and this song is even on it. :) www.cdbaby.com/cd/mikemasse1
makes me sick that this dude is not in the hall of fame
+merc731 agreed

Excelente...really nice performance..sound..and professionalism..👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This audience don’t seem to realise that they’re witnessing true god-given musical talent. These guys should be performing at Madison Square Garden to a capacity crowd!
unbelievable! i still haven't understood how to live without you...
I found more than I was looking for. Thank you for this piece of perfection 🙏🙋☀️🇸🇪.
Very good, your voice is pure feeling. True musicians, rock and roll forever friends.
Here I just found what I was looking for. I can't believe in this performance!
Why aren't you a famous musician? Extremely talented
