your great

[@Cheek1969]

This is probably my favourite song of all time....you did an amazing version

[@MoeMuzic13]

I'll do Cheek1969 one better, this is my all-time favorite song. This unique twist was very impressive, awesome vocals and Jenny's violin work is extraordinary. I do have to echo several others who find Ms. Baker very lovely to look at as well ......

[@dalesmth1]

Very good cover! No hall effect like Tom used on Brad's vocals, but still clean and precise. Sub'd.

This video has been getting more comments than usual lately. Thanks, algorithm gods. Welcome, new viewers!

[@Predikant]

Actually I went in search of the original (and got this pleasant surprise) after adding the word cover!

[@nettudky1]

This is one of my all-time favourite song!

There is no knowing the mysteries of the algorithm. This just came up top of my feed nine years after publication.

First time hearing this ... AMAZING job.

I second this comment!

Thrice this comment 😂

[@timfaries6527]

Quadruple. Fantastic take!

[@prospector14]

I saw Boston perform this song live- at the risk of dating myself - and it has remained one of the favourite songs of my life. This is the first cover of this song that evokes the same feelings and memories I have of this song. My brother and I used to play this song: he on drums and me on guitar. He died tragically in 2020 so this song is particularly heart wretching for me, but you did it proud. I hope you realize that beyond doing a KZbin video - you touch people’s hearts and take them to a place they can never go again… except in their memories.

[@LeftCoastBias44]

Dear KZbin algorithm: It took 5 years for you to suggest I watch this vid??? Are you kidding me??? (Meanwhile...) Stunning cover you two. Brilliantly played. I remember exactly where I was driving the first time I heard this Boston track played on a SoCal FM station decades ago. I'll now always remember first viewing of this impeccable cover. Bravo, Jeff & Jenny... #subscribed (both of you) #liked #shared #amazed.

[@fernandoc.campos8842]

[@deancoburn944]

Thinking the same thing! What a talent!

[@pacard33]

I was just thinking that too. Where has this song been for the last six years? I've always like Jenny Oaks Baker. She's phenomenal.

[@sprintmiles]

No kidding!

[@drayprescot43]

Took a song that's almost impossible to cover properly and just nailed it and then some. Beautiful tribute to a beautiful song...

[@davidjensen4702]

Ms.Oaks-Baker nailed the guitar riff!

[@amrtek1215]

This is one of my favorite songs ever and you two covered it beautifully. Having been in a deep depression for some time, I let my music go. But when I saw Ms. Baker blow the dust off of her violin case, open it up and start tuning that lovely instrument, I cried like a baby. All is not lost for me - I still have my music - and nobody can take that away. So I just blew the dust off of my guitar case, tuned up that old Martin and started playing again. Thank you from my heart, and blessings to both of you.

[@mikemasse]

I'm so glad to hear it! We all need to dust ourselves off once in awhile, too, I suppose. And having a guitar nearby is a good way to do that. 👍

[@ianhinrichsendrummer2113]

Way to go dude - never give up.

[@Nevada_Dan]

Reading your post made ME cry like a baby.

[@bobjenkins1757]

You have a Martin sitting in a dusty case ? That deserves a slap, but I'll let you slide, my friend...LOL Deep depression is a bitch, indeed. You have a talent many only dream of....making music. Please keep making those strings vibrate.....it's good for the soul. Tesla is right......frequency and vibration is EVERYTHING. Remember that cosmic secret, amrtek1

[@mikewray6387]

keep playing bro..im the same, playing every day again now

[@publikenemi49]

I’d be hard pressed to find a harder cover song to sing. Wow. He nails it. And she is a fantastic compliment to this piece 👍🏼👍🏼

[@jimwilkey7294]

I’ve been playing for over 40 years. These two are so good, I might use my Guitars to start a bonfire 😂

[@D1it4FN]

He's got a great set of pipes but modern times have produced helpers to gain and hold pitch. This is perfect.

[@zoebug1003]

THE VIOLIN ON THIS IS AMAZING!!

[@kipponi]

I think same great arpeggios AND counter melodies and it goes higher than a voice ha ha. Singing is great too. This is hard to sing 2 and half octave raise in melody. I have to transpose it a bit lower...or begin very low from my voice register.

[@plumbelect]

And Jenny is beatiful!!

[@bcb2555]

All the Boston songs should b done this way

[@jeddolsen5938]

Well it is Jennie Oaks Baker...

[@4774jas]

The singer is better. Fucking crazy

[@toddtheref]

I'm a pretty harsh critic, and you guys should be damn proud of this. Just the fact that you can approximate Brad Delp's tone and range is amazing. The violin was great (when Scholtz started using his Rockman, people thought he was using violins). Excellent work on one of the hardest songs in rock to cover.

[@aaronherbison7316]

100% agree

[@dasboot5903]

@@aaronherbison7316 Agree !!!!

[@cmr58]

Yes..that was pretty amazing. Not many male vocalists can hit that high. That was a special period of time of rock in the 70's 80's when lead singer vocalists could nail those highs. Brad was one of them, Steve Perry comes to mind too. This was pretty special too.

[@arlobandersnatch6244]

It's not only an awesome cover, it's got to be the best music video I've ever seen.

[@mickjaegerguano4809]

I play in a band and our singer can nail skid row and journey, but couldn't hit the highs on MTAF. kudos ..

[@LocalMachine]

The best rendition in the history of Boston covers.

[@charlesphillips1468]

I've heard this song thousands of times over the last 45+ years, and this is really good. I was impressed by the extent to which Ms. Baker was able to imitate an electric guitar with the violin.

[@LM-qn2ve]

Tom Sholtz would try to imitate a violin, so it makes perfect sense! Great job!

[@channel8888]

Jenny Oaks Baker stole the show on this one! Amazing!

[@Kjernekar]

Why isn't this guy more known? He beats the shit out of 99% of the srtists on the billboard top 100 in terms of vocal performance and skill.

[@internettoughguy]

Because music is a business and has nothing to do with skill. It's about how much product you can sell. He's too old for mass market appeal. Anytime you have a question and can't reason out the answer logically....think money!

[@paulcardsfan]

@@internettoughguy He is doing pretty well now . Musicians just need to market themselves forget the thief's that take advantage of them.

[@craigharris41]

@@paulcardsfan going to see him in St Louis. Hope Jenny is with him.

[@brianeckes7minutesermonser840]

in a way, I am kind of glad (sorry Mike!!!), I would rather he be less known and extremely good at his craft rather than be well known and swamped by attention and fame and no longer good at his craft. Some of the best artists and musicians were really not well known for their time they were active. Still, if he can be famous and still retain his quality and craft, more power to him!

[@flyurs1675]

it's beautiful, haven't noticed that before this comment

[@williamderickjohnson3986]

Do you know how rare you are, Mike Masse? How you actually hit the high notes with such Grace and ease puts you in the 1%. We’re not worthy😀. Great job to both of you.

[@shipoftunz9754]

I don't comment on cover tunes, but good Lord this one is exceptional. You owned it! Not only did you cover the voice with impeccable accuracy but added a hauntingly mesmerizing instrument that I never believed would fit this tune. My hat off to you good sir. And a tip of the hat to the fair lady.

Stunning. Absolutely brilliant.

[@robertlevesque1466]

It is w/the greatest of sadness that I find myself here due to the fact I just lost my little sister last week.i am here because I introduced her to your music and everytime she came over she had me play your music videos because she as I do get such joy from not just listening to your music but watching the accompanying videos.She so loved how expressive you are when you sing.The joy she saw on your face while you sing lit up her face and she was so touched by your voice and your arrangements "More Than A Feeling" became her favorite song these last few months and I have decided to play it in her memory at her funeral this Saturday.I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your music and how it has touched everyone that has ever heard you but expecially my little sister.Thank you so much for your music because it does really touch people in ways you probably. are not aware of.

[@mikemasse]

Robert Levesque Wow, Robert. So sorry to hear that. Sounds like you two were very close. I lost a sister a few years back way before her time, so I can relate on that level. My deepest condolences, and thanks for sharing that.

[@robertlevesque1466]

Mike Masse Thank you so much for your words. I have been sitting here listening to your music.I have been a fan for about a year now and I couldn't begin to convey to you what your music especially 'More Than A Feeling' meant to my sister. My sister was disabled and endured alot of physical pain.Every Saturday I would bring her to my home w/other family and friends for BBQ etc... Her name was Vera Lee by the way. Every single time she came over the first thing she wanted to do was go to your site and or you tube and watch and listen to your videos. She so loved them Mike. When I played 'More Than A Feeling' she would smile and literally shed tears because it touched her so deeply and the wonderful playing of Jenny Oaks combined w/you became her favorite song hands down. I cannot thank you enough for the gift of your music that truly took her away from her pain everytime she listened to you. She asked me if I could download the music for her and I told her the next time she came over we would go to your website and she could pick and I would purchase any and all the Mike Masse songs she wanted . This was something I decided to do for the first time; that is using my credit card online because of fear of stories others have told me of having there accounts compromised ( and the fear did not extend to you) but hackers. My lord I didn't mean to ramble like this ....She passed away 2 days before she was to come over that day. I intend to support you and your music and I have turned dozens of family and friends on to your music. Once again I want to thank you so very much. .

[@mikemasse]

Thanks for that, Robert. I would have loved to have met Vera Lee.

[@jaylkeene8236]

Mike Masse You could send him a copy of your most current CD. The one that you just wrote...

Greatest Boston cover I've ever heard!

[@atanasdotsinski5666]

Agreed!

[@atanasdotsinski5666]

Never thought anyone but Brad Delp could hit those notes and sound so good

[@WrestlingErnestHemingway]

@@atanasdotsinski5666 Nobody can and ever will. This guy did a great rendition though and came pretty close. He'd be better as the new Boston's new lead singer than the current guy. But anybody in music industry that is smart wouldn't/shouldn't work with of for that egomaniac Tom Scholz who basically totally RUINED his own original "rock & roll band" and broke them up and screwed over ALL his original band mates when they had pure unique MAGIC as "a rock & roll band" that Tom dismantled and totally destroyed into a lame mellow music ballad crap cover band with garbage musicians.

Wonderful arrangement……….you made this song all new again

[@williamkeogh710]

When I first watched this ( some 3 months ago now ) and when Jenny began to pull out her fiddle, I nearly turned off the video, as I believed that a fiddle does NOT belong in this classic imo... however, remembering that I have been suprised by the unexpected before I decided to listen to this version once, and by God am I glad I did! Both the vocals and Jennys fiddle are superb, and this cover is positively masterful! I have listened to this dozens of times since then, and plan on doing so indefinitely. Bravo and my full complinents to both Mike and Jenny! I love this cover and I thank you both for giving it to us!

[@drakey82]

Bloody Hell that was perfect. That Vocals and that violin. The violinist cannot get hotter :) Thank you for that.

This is without a doubt , one of the coolest videos I have seen in a long time. You two need to go on the ROAD! Good God, I am surprised people aren't knocking down your door to sign you? Maybe they already have? I remember when I first put the needle to my new Boston Album back in 1976 and this song played. I haven't heard any cover do it justice since then but this just did it nearly 40 years later!
