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.
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...
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.
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.
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 !!!
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.
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.
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...
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
I'm not a huge fan of accoustic covers in general, but there's tears in my eyes. You guys are fucking great. I always listen to this cover coming back home at night...after a shitty day this piece makes me feel good again. Thank you.
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....
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!
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
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.
I don't mind accepting that there are people far more brilliant than I am! David Bowie being one of them! If we just relax and accept thing we so often feel so much better!
I had my doubts about anyone ever doing this original justice.. But Mr Masse Surely did this right as with his other covers when adding another performer they were perfectly paired!!)) Anyone new to his music like me check all his songs out incredible!!))
You boys nailed this as if it were the final cut on the original studio production. The harmonies were perfect. The arpeggios on the guitar were perfect. Everyone in that bar is getting an amazing deal hearing live music like this for what might just be a casual afterwork beer.
kristijan kalafatic wait... not that your name is pronouncable, but are you taking shots at me? lmao, i was paying the musicians a compliment for being awesome, and you come at me in some foreign jibberish, then call me ugly... are you 12? i thought people didn't act like that anymore. re-read what i wrote, and learn english better before you go throwing out your pointless internet anger, and i'm actually not ugly, but thank you "shit of my ass" who talks like that? lmao
maybe in your country, but here it doesn't mean ruined, it's a compliment. wtf is wrong with everyone? i am paying these guys a damn compliment for being awesome, and everyone is attacking my phonetics? you know, where your from, they probably call cigarettes "fags" right? jeeze, everyone just pay attention to them playing...
*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!!!
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.
Dear God... I am 68 yrs old, went to see 2001 Space Oditity, blew me away, love this song and the movie, TY... amazing!!! ❤❤❤😢
Who’s still watching these guys in 2024!? Clearly masters of their craft
Meeeeee
2025 now 🚀🌎
The brief smattering of applause is embarrassing. These guys absolutely killed it!!
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
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
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?)
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
Dude, beast mode harmonies. Damn. Great overall.
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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 !!!
Tom Cox
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 TH-cam. I would pay money to see them here
@@xwinglover rightly so..
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.
This crowd should be ashamed of themselves not appreciating this incredible display of art and talent.
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.
I've lost count on how many times I've watched this cover. It's just so darn good!
Still going!
A masterpiece! They killed this cover!
Here caused Venom 3, still ringing in my head. Best acoustic cover of this song. Thanks❤
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.
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.

So sorry for your loss, Sandi. Thank you for sharing that.
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
13 years to the day and still one of the best covers i've ever seen!
Its crazy how many people come back to this everyday... this song is masterpiece!
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'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.
That was really beautiful!
I know
Yes really BTF
Great song! Perfect performance! Cheers from Moscow, Russia 🤗
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. 🇧🇷
I started to listen to David Bowie thanks to this cover
This is the BEST version of a breath-taking song that has EVER existed.
Bowie should never be covered by 99% of artists out there. You sir are in the rare 1%. Absolutely crushed this.
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
2024: Listening this beautiful cover and enjoying this incredible music. Amazing cover guys!
2022, and still the best cover on the market!
They are the reincarnation of Bowie, his soul divided in these two guys💫❤💫
Listen to this at least once a month for the past 5 years now!! Love it!!!
Samee
I'm not a huge fan of accoustic covers in general, but there's tears in my eyes. You guys are fucking great. I always listen to this cover coming back home at night...after a shitty day this piece makes me feel good again. Thank you.

And David Bowie is smiling...that took my breath away.
This must be the best cover on the Internet
Without a doubt!
Man, if only I could’ve heard this in person.
Escucho esta versión hace muchos años. Alucinante.
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
A rendition to be proud of. RIP David Bowie ..the enigmatic, eccentric genius
I'm from China, and this is the best cover I've ever heard!
I thought TH-cam is banned in China? 😂
@@ssiu yea go on congratulate the spaceman
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
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
I always come back to hear this masterpiece
I knew this would be the best version of this song before even listening to it. Mike's songs are always the best.
The best version I have ever heard in my entire life. And I’ve heard a lot of them. Wow
You guys absolutely kill every song you cover. 14 years later and you're still killing it
Melhor cover que vi dessa música
Not just the best cover of this Bowie classic... But I feel one of the best covers ever, any song.
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?
Dude, beast mode harmonies. Damn. Great overall.
And David Bowie is smiling...that took my breath away.
Wow... I would have thought this was David Bowie and his band. Excellent!
I listened to this in high school and I still listen to this day. Mike Masse and Jeff Hall are the best.
Jeff's 'Lift-off' baseline is so good!
great to see Jeff and his booming beautiful voice soaring in perfect harmony to Mike!
This is amazing. Your voices are amazing together.
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.
Absolutely phenomenal rendition, well done lads, peace from UK
Amazing.
From Indonesia with love.
I've felt this deep right now. This harmony with Jeff is magnificient ! I'm so happy to have found someone who can cover all of my favorites classic.
Mike has live virtual shows on You Tube every Friday and Saturday night at 7:00 pm (Mountain time). They are alot of fun. Tune in this weekend.
Probably the only best cover of the song on internet..
Incrível incrível a performance do Jeff Hall.
Those harmonies are honey to the ears. Awesome performance.🙏🎸🔥💯
Back for my weekly viewing.
ryatat dam, u can wait a whole week!?
And I’m back again.
Rolando b still coming back?
This is Ground Control to Rolando b.
still here! one of the best covers ever.
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.
When the two voices came together, just wow. Trippy.
Its honestly on the level of Lennon and Maccartney almost imo
Soooo goooood omg
Glorious 🙌😭
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.
More amazing than these great performers is their audience. I mean, there should be standing ovations after every of their covers.
David would be proud of you guys.
Tears in my eyes.
RIP David.
Nice Job, guys. After 15 years. It's a very good quality audio and video for TH-cam. Congrats
How in the world have I never heard these two guys until tonight. I live outside of St. Louis. If the city opens I plan to see them play. WOW!!!!!!!!
I'm coming to the Kirkwood Performing Arts Center on December 6, 2024: www.metrotix.com/events/detail/sss-mike-masse I hope you can make it!
Simplesmente o melhor cover dessa música que já tive a alegria de ouvir! Parabéns!!!
I don't mind accepting that there are people far more brilliant than I am! David Bowie being one of them! If we just relax and accept thing we so often feel so much better!
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
This song has a strong melancholy feeling to it I love it
I had my doubts about anyone ever doing this original justice.. But Mr Masse Surely did this right as with his other covers when adding another performer they were perfectly paired!!)) Anyone new to his music like me check all his songs out incredible!!))
This is hands down the best cover in all of the internet
Best Space Oddity cover I've ever heard or watched..... Kudos Mike & Jeff
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。
