05. Slow Dancing in a Burning Room - Live in New York City

--------

This year has been devastating to so many people around the world. Everybody has been affected by this pandemic, wherever you live and whatever you do. For the live music fans, we miss that energy, that connection. Shows and Distancing, my third album and first live album, has arrived at a time where I hope at least some sense of relief and nostalgia can be provided to you.

Recorded throughout last year on the road in the USA, this record takes you through support sets with Justin Hayward (Moody Blues), headline shows, a live duet from Los Angeles and even excerpts from my first ever headline concert from over the pond. New York, Florida and California, three of my favourite places. I hope to return soon!

I'm incredibly proud of this record and the quality of the audio captured. Josh Clark's mixes are SUPERB. I'll be releasing live videos every week for the foreseeable future so don't forget to hit 'SUBSCRIBE' to be notified x

Wow shaggy is insane! from exposing monsters to jedi in guitar.

[gnaagren]

2:56
Sound engineer: Do I need to set up a mic?
Mike: Yeah.
SE: What are you gonna use it for?
M: I'll headbutt it.
SE: Whatever.

[tulmar]

The balance you've found between techniques is amazing. Never too much, never too little. Sonically amazing. Cheers Mike

[johnbarron]

Imagine if you were at this venue with a broken heart...You’d wish this never ever stopped

[rcba]

If John will see this amazing guitar cover, for sure he's proud.

[nmaxfield]

@4:34."You still out there New York?" Crowds been transfixed in stunned, mesmerized silence for four and a half minutes!

[Rahman]

It sounds crystal clear with humane vibe!

[slackocaster]

Unreal, goosebumps... I've been paying guitar for 30 years, played in a few bands and did some touring. This is how it's done. The way he playfully headbutts the mic, or how he gets the audience to finish the song... some people have it, some people don't. This guy wrote the book on it! Bravo

[lukeraynorguitar]

The only dude allowed to play this song in a music store lol

[prajwalgyawali]

This is totally unrealistic. As a JM fan myself for over a decade, I am stunned by the amount of work put into this and how wonderful it sounds.

[BCBBCL]

And he's only using 2% of his power

[natecodplaya]

if mike's rendition of somebody i used to know didn't convince me to stop playing guitar, this one sure did

[Rouge]

A true shame that Youtube doesn't have a "love" button. This is beautiful.

[fredrikfb]

This is honestly the greatest cover of this song ever. Literally better than the original in my opinion

[GuusMusic]

Amazing, Mike! Glad that I've been able to watch you perform live!

[brendenkucken]

Dude… your talent needs to be shared with the whole world. End of story. Your name needs to be in the conversation with guys that changed what the guitar was used for. No longer is it used for solely melodic purposes, or even percussive. You’ve headed this new genre that has made the acoustic guitar the band. I have no words.

[AttilatheThrilla]

The “We’re going down” parts are pure perfection

[myopinion]

This man’s ability is something I believe can be the sound that brings ALL OF US (world) together.

[AcousticNick]

This is exactly what music is meant to be! You're so connected with the audience. Everything about this is so beautiful! ❤️😭
