Liner Notes: This video was initially and instantly blocked when I uploaded it in 2017. But at some point, KZbin decided to unblock it (but didn't notify me). I just noticed this, and have now made this video public. Enjoy Stairway! The tour dates at the end are outdated, but I'm glad this is finally available on my KZbin channel.
Liner Notes from 2017: We wouldn't be denied! Jeff and I have been doing this one live for a little while, so I'm glad we finally got it recorded. He recorded his part at my house when he was in town (Denver) recently, but we recorded our parts at different times (thus, the split screen). I hope you like our rendition.
Thanks for listening/watching, and for helping spread the music,
-Mike

[@butterboy5621]

Huge Zeplin fan here. I'm like 99% sure this is the best Stairway To Heaven cover ever done. Maybe even better than the original.

[@CaptainApathetic]

Only one that compares IMO is Lexington Lab Band's cover IMO, but the fact 2 guys can play this and compare to a large tribute/cover band says a lot about Mike and Jeff

[@77fxtrader]

100% bro, no doubt 🔥

[@Soccox]

This is a fact, no matter what song mike touches turns to gold.

[@RobertLundien]

You should hear starry night

[@thepepperlanders]

I tuned in just to see if he could hit those high notes. This guy is one hell of a singer.

[@นิเวศน์กุศลพรไพศาล]

I agree.

[@josemolero7204]

I remember this song when I was 16 years old nice ok

[@mauriciocarvalho4122]

He is a hell of a singer.

[@flightofthebumblebee9529]

Check him out back in his pizza parlor days when he covered Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For by U2. It brought tears to my eyes. His cover of Africa by Toto did as well. The guy is amazing.

[@elcondorpassa]

YES 👍 Cette version est juste magnifique ☀️❤️

[@bijankhadembashi1016]

Man he hits those highs at the end. The best cover artist I've ever seen...

[@SunriseLAW]

Agreed, except Mr. Masse improves upon most of the original art. Check out his version of 'Nights in White Satin' for high notes that will send shivers up/down your spine.

[@ara1156]

So jealous of his vocal range/control

[@jamesa5720]

I was getting ready to make the same exact post now three years later...amazing range. Fabulous cover.

[@CorruptSnypah]

This song was played at my best friend’s funeral when he was killed at 16. We were learning to play this song at the time. Such an epic cover. Thank you Mike and Jeff.

[@themoonlord8953]

I'm sorry for your loss, may he rest in peace

[@cuttlerfish]

This guy can sing anything, respect

[@joebananas1100]

72 yr old zeppelin head here. Love the passionate way Jeff Hall embraces the bass lines . Great cover by a great duo.

[@Mrbuckaroonie..]

The high vocals are absolutely brilliant.

[@guidder]

Jeff's smirk at the end alone was worth the whole video, and that's quite a deed.

[@MikeJohnson-bb6ry]

I can't stop watching Jeff play that flute line at the beginning. It's so simple, but most bass players I know wouldn't have never thought to do that. They would have just waited for the John Paul Jones stuff to play.

[@sofarsogut]

you're right

[@TheBasje1993]

John Paul Jones is actually the one who plays the flute line😉

[@Winterstick549]

But JPJ plays the flute line on a keyboard (I don't know what kind)

[@jedhermit4519]

I have just found this dynamic duo. How could this much talent not have been shouted from the roof tops. clear , precise, timing, all fantastic. thank you.

[@markdavies981]

This is outstanding. We all know by now that Mike has a great voice, but the bass playing, and the whole package, is amazing. I think we just saw another "Africa" moment here!

[@matt12251975]

Couldn't agree more Mark Davies!

[@khanatkinson9810]

Agreed! Africa is what hooked me but this just soared to another level!

[@jenirambrothers2781]

Amazing rendition..I am 57 years old have listening and playing this song since high school and you nailed it like a perfect 10..Amazing..

[@bm1098]

Ten years after Africa, another incredible cover. Without percussions, but it doesn't seem. Amazing bass solo. I expect millions of views again.

[@tommyjcoogan]

This is the best cover of this song ever and probably one of the best covers of any song ever. Mike's vocals and acoustic playing are incredible and Jeff was brilliant on bass.Thes would be as good or better than the original if it had the electric solo. I never thought anyone could do this song so good. Definitely 10 outa 10

[@GiorgioVVVV]

I guess this one's perfection as-is. The solo part is held together by the bass, that's really unique, they managed to really keep it acoustic. It's at the same time faithful to the original but different. Genius.

[@JH-jx1hs]

@@GiorgioVVVV I thought exactly the same thing listening to it. I was waiting to see what they did for the the solo. I would have loved to seen them do both, but it worked as is. The vocals were amazing.

[@WynneBarnwell]

❤🎉

[@DarinCampbell72]

One of the most difficult songs to cover and you did it flawlessly. Incredible!

[@markshane8910]

You knock it out of the park everytime, Mike. Your range is insane.

[@kienna.a]

my dad has always been a fan of mike masse. went to a bunch of his cover concert thingos and even got him to say happy birthday to me on my birthday when i was younger. safe to say hes always kinda been apart of our family (music wise bahahah)

[@frequencyreport]

To play this and sing it expertly is something else!

[@ianchampagne566]

Ok. This is September 26th 2024 in Varennes, Québec. This is my favorite cover, ever. I watch and share this every 3 to 6 months with friends because it is so good. I get goosebumps still, almost 15 years later. Félicitations pour une magnifique performance. It is out of this world.

[@cruze1953]

I need friends like you have. I share music with my friends, music that touches your soul, music that sends chills down your spine, and not a single "like" They are music snobs regarding covers. Pathetic eh?

[@Sebassie]

Jeff straight up looks like a wise old wizard. "YOU. SHALL. NOT. BASS!"

[@Mastersan]

LMAAAOOOOOO

[@andiputra6377]

BASS, YOU FOOL!

[@vonj8539]

Lol

[@u.r.awesome2500]

Agreed! I came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed the same thing. Gandalf is a wizard on the bass! 😊

[@robrussell5329]

That chord at 2:16 (G/B?) is my favorite chord ever in rock n roll. I love how Paige uses it to bridge into the up-tempo strumming. Any other songwriter would have just started with the regular chords all over again, as with your 12-string. Masterful songwriting.

[@chrissmith2987]

This chord is also played in Over the Hills and Far Away. It's an inverted G major with an added 7th.

[@pianoekket]

Damn Mike.. your voice just seems to be perfect for all these classic songs you give us. Can't get enough!

[@ageingviking5587]

It's so good to see Jeff ... Don't get me wrong , I like everyone you play with but, Jeff just reminds me of the quiet dude that just enjoys being enjoyable ...... Maybe Like George Harrison was with the Beatle .. Jeff Rocks :-) Have a happy days dudes !

[@scubajay11]

Bravo Mike and Jeff. That was hands down the best cover of Stairway I have heard in the last 20 years. I was blown away by it. Thank you.

[@95ZR580]

That subtle bass solo leading into that explosive ending touches my soul in ways I can not explain

[@mikesims9695]

Outstanding. Jeff Hall has to be one of the best bass players I've come across.

[@vk_o2540]

WOW! Just: WOW! voice, little voice cracks exactly where they should be - emotion, then guitars, 12string, bass ... Jeffs solo and amazing fills. Bass sounds so clear .... WOW! AMAZING! GOOSEBUMPS! This goes on loop. Thank you Mike and Jeff.

[@roadgeneral]

Unbelievable cover!! Mike and Jeff for the win. And Jeff, that bass line...you killed it.

[@Uslogisticsman]

When I listen to your music Mike and crew… you make me feel good inside. Released when I was just a boy my piano teacher Mrs. Jones let me pick a piece I liked. No doubt it would be Led Zeppelin. She was aged and when she looked at the sheet music for a bit.. she said oh my.. this looks interesting and played it first time flawlessly

[@steveleavy4608]

Mike & Jeff tread on Rock's Holy Ground....and....well....WOW!

[@jeffdishman9991]

Jeff is emulating confidence I've never seen... Salute... The new look (Hair & Beard)... looks awesome.... Great job Brother!!

[@tcwaha]

Amazing rendition Mike and Jeff. Using the bass to play the lead was a stroke of genius. Glad they let you release this.

[@EddySrour]

I just sat in my car watching this whole thing. I just started learning how to play this song on the acoustic. Im simply in love!😊

[@marseatay]

Now were talking some good 70's music, forget today's music ! Great cover, the kind I like to hear !

[@susanwhite5839]

Is there no song he can't do to perfection? What a brilliant talent...amazing!#

[@danielchacko521]

I salute his singing skills and is no less in handing rhythm so beautifully. Great duos...don't know how I missed watching them so long.

[@PauloRoberto-fk6ec]

Simply incredible, Very Nice, really the best cover I've ever heard, hugs from Brazil.

[@mikespink1965]

Incredible. Hats off again and again to you Mike and Jeff.

[@rkb3573]

Jeff rocks that bass. Love it.

[@danielong879]

Everytime Mike & Jeff perform, magic happens. Thank you two musical soulmates for your many wonderful covers over the years. Looking forward to many more. God bless you both

[@pedrosmits]

Tomorrow my brother passed away 20 years ago. I’ll play this version many times that day. Thank you for the great music

It's really hard to find a Stairway to Heaven cover with no dislikes in their first 5 minutes of existence. Really god job!

[@tiletom9118]

Just found this. Can’t stop checking out their flawless covers!

[@sharylgamble9981]

Any version of this makes me cry. Its one of my favorite songs!

[@optimusdadimus1251]

I have seen Mike and Jeff twice @ the Viper Room. Caught Mike and Bryce in Long Beach before the world came to a halt. I just saw this video for the first time and boys, holy smoke! You both brought your “A” game. Just Beautifully done. Mike & Jeff are just pure magic together.

[@evantwede787]

Utah's loss is the world's gain. This is just amazing.

[@AliOsman1]

So authentic, I half expected you to say, “Does anybody remember laughter?”

[@a.g.santos]

Ali Osman I'm glad I'm not the only one!

[@mikemasse]

Yes, I'm always tempted to mutter that phrase when I do this live, but I've fought the urge thus far.

[@edgarzambrano9636]

Mike Massé and Jeff Hall are the best duo ever!!!

[@tusharray1494]

Ohhhhhhh superb, the high notes, you hit those with prescion Mike..

[@michaelgrueber4576]

Great to finally hear this great cover on KZbin!

[@jimott7342]

Chills.... yeah... chills

[@VintageValium]

Looking through, was like, wonder if Mike ever covered Zeppelin, long and behold! You and Jeff, give me goosebumps with the vocals and overall musicianship.

[@manfredopablolopezmolina1619]

Magia pura, alucinante, emocion extrema, siempre quise escuchar un acustico de esta canción, gracias man.

[@Dave_Hrabosky]

My goodness, this is an outstanding performance!

[@lnhislmage]

On behalf of guitarists young and old, I would like to thank you for all your videos . Which clearly show everything you are doing on guitar. Having such masterfully crafted songs to listen to and learn from is a priceless gift.

[@Bugkiller666]

AMAZING Mike !! loved to see Jeff again. he is the BEST !!

[@hmanaloto58]

Sent this to my older brother who’s recovering from covid. He loved it. First smile after nearly getting intubated. Thank you guys!!!

[@ArchFundy]

Awesome. Been hoping you would start doing collab vids this way. Great to see Jeff again.

[@michaelwaters5831]

This was another ‘cover’ that I am completely hooked on. Others have said it and I agree- there is magic afoot when you two are together.

[@ThePriceIsRising]

If y’all have not seen him in concert, you are missing out. Do yourself a favor and go see him. A few days ago, wife and I saw him play for the third time, this time with Jeff Hall. Unbelievable !!❤

[@ghomerhust]

yet another stunning cover. holy poop on a stick, these guys are GOOOOD

[@sicsempertyrannis1849]

Holy cow! Excellent rendition.

[@brendonmartin1658]

Yes! The duo is back! Please record more of these! Both playing so beautifully, thank for you this!

[@seanhealy9671]

Mike and Jeff are definitely the best combination, they just seem to fit together

[@niklas1937]

completely insane. it gave me goose bumps the whole song

[@daneelolivaw1976]

Breathtaking

[@GuillotinedChemistry]

Zeppelin. And add some Hall. Thanks again for all the music! Best 8 minutes of the day!

[@rocco...]

Me ears are bleedin' with heavenly bliss! Two thumbs up we shan't forget Jeff. Still the best all around singer that this planet has ever heard.

[@Mrbeast0099]

This will be your biggest video Eva!!! Anyone agree??👍 brilliant

[@joey398]

Just when I thought it can't get any better, the solo part and the vocals after that came. GOD! ❤

[@kino_vel]

Beautiful rendition. You never disappoint Mike. God Bless.❤👍

[@randyallen2966]

Killed it!

[@HempsteadGaz]

OMG, Mike and Jeff, that is truly stunning. Listened through quality headphones, you don't know just how good that sounds. Mike, your voice is better than ever, Jeff, your bass is sublime.

[@georgegagnon4566]

Never get tired of listening to this version

[@cw6304]

Fantastic cover Mike and Jeff! Nice to see the colab again :)

[@stuartschnare152]

Wow, couldn’t have imagined how good this song could be in an acoustic version. Amazing!

[@mariselymaldonado9789]

This songs means a lot to me, watching this cover is amazing but.... seeing this performance in person, WAS OUTSTANDING!!! WHAT A TALENT!!! Great concert in Clermont FL!!!!

[@mikemasse]

Thank you for being there! It was fun to play with Jeff again, and it was a great crowd and venue.

[@sharongeorge7319]

Bass solo is so wonderful

[@rostumbautista5242]

Another great cover of Mike of one of the best rock and roll bands of all time Led Zep!

[@robrees8382]

So Happy to see Jeff Hall again. I believe that you two make beautiful music together. I like all the other guys but you two are special together!

[@markhartnett8000]

Once again - you kill this song. Beautiful.

[@swtorytimeadventures7880]

These guys just absolutely blew me away! Mike Masse's vocals and guitar is a masterstroke of perfection and I am absolutely riveted by Jeff Hall's bass performance! It's truly a rare treat for me to see such rich nuance coming from the bass. I could feel the heart and soul interwoven with that instrument and his playing. Fucking beautiful!

[@ulrichweil2486]

I love you both for years.....thank you very much!

[@katjau5608]

Well, there's not much to add. Everything's been said already! It's just awesome! I'm glad everyone can enjoy this fantastic piece now. Thank you both!

[@neilmuir2752]

Top draw cover. Guitar, Bass, Vocals. . . everything about it was first class.

[@theaviator3863]

What a superb Version! Mike’s voice is perfect for this song. And Jeff using the base as the lead guitar in the last stage was pure genius! Simple but brilliant!

[@EduAurrai]

So glad to see you and Jeff together. You guys are the best duo on youtube. Ever! Love you guys. Best wishes from Brazil!

[@Tomikingi]

Brings me back to the best days ever! 70’s. I was in high school in SouthernCal and played a helluva air guitar with this blasting in my under dash Kenwood Supertuner! And weed of course! Great job guys.

[@legendaryTMNICO]

Mike actually sounds better than Robert plant.

[@ironman-mu2xh]

had more fun listening to this than the original, just wow, and thank you.

[@vanhelsing4623]

Wow... I'm glad to see Jeff back.

[@moparman1962]

Mike...you and Jeff just rock whatever you do together. It's a good thing you and he met and became friends, for all of us and for the two of you as well. Also, what FSAPO and Mike Johnson said below, definitely. You two nailed that. ;)

[@Scratchingforcash]

Thumbs up before I even hear it. Mike, you are amazing brother. Your music gets me through tough times. Thank you.

[@c.l.sherman211]

I was a senior in high school when I first heard this song, it blew me away….

[@TheSaemkael]

Just... incredible! Bravo

[@timdaugherty6660]

It's a true pleasure to find you. Thank you, just thank you.

[@sichlfireants5275]

DAT BASS! Amazing cover, guys.
