Liner Notes:

It was fun to dust this one off. Sterling and I used to do it way back when. This is the first video on my channel where Sterling actually plays bass (he's usually seen playing guitar). Turns out bass was his first instrument, and he played bass in his first band. I know so many bass players. :)

I hope you enjoy this. It took us a while to both have all of the lyrics down. It's trickier than you might realize, until you start attempting to recreate it with 100% accuracy all in one take. :) But the trial and error allowed Sterling and I to gel even better on the harmonies and timings of the unisons, etc. I think it turned out nicely.

A big thanks to Ovation Guitars for providing the lovely 12-string. I'm using the Collector's Series Legend Plus model:

And another big thanks to Wild Dog Stomp Boxes Australia for the excellent stomp pedal. I'm using the Bunyip model:

And a big thanks to you for listening/watching, and for helping spread the music,

-Mike

The harmony is incredible! Definitely the best Brain Damage cover I’ve ever heard. Really wish I can see your performance live.

Thumbs up to the bassist with his backing vocals on eclipse

Been a forever fan Mike. As a retired musician who was professionally involved for over 20 years, unfortunetely cut short by illness. So now I at 60 "Sing" (self taught) and it brings me peace, contentment and happiness since my hands no longer work well enough. Bottom line, "Thank God" for your gift of music here Mike (so enjoyable) and to inspire me to continue to enjoy my end as well... It's also saved me many times through out my life. My best to you in "Rock on"!!

Mike Mike Mike!!! You guys killed it. Perfection. Roger Waters will be astounded. What more can I say.👍👍👏👏👏👏

There’s no dark side of the moon, really. As a matter of fact, it’s all dark.

It's like hearing this song for the first time again. You didn't just nail it, but also brought out its essense, making me wonder, "why didn't I hear that part before?"

[unhandledexception]

Hands down best duo vocals for acoustic Pink Floyd 🥰🥰

[boydlu]

Great! Please do more cover of Pink Floyd and Dire Straits!!!

[jamesbellar]

2:41 👏🏼 You shout and we all hear you 💙

[jenniferbrodkin]

This is underrated. This guy is underrated! Pure Talent!!!!

[cozyslor]

I had to pause to let the blotter kick in. Thoroughly enjoyed.

[longgrayline]

Absolutely topnotch. Your covers are so good that the original artists would thoroughly enjoy packing your venues and love hearing you play their favorite tunes as well. That Ovation sounds tremendous too. Zero string distortion and balanced across the range.

[mikespink]

You guys are simply the best duet ...IN THE WORLD!

[gtyellojacket]

Damn! You guys nailed this one. I thought having no drums was going to mess it up, but it didn't even need them. Great job.

[thresherklier]

That 12 string sure gives it an interesting dimension! Great job as always Mike. Thanks so much for being so awesome!

[christianwhitmore]

Ive been listening to this non stop for 2 days. Its amazing

[siddharthpanchal]

A Pink Floyd cover done well is so satisfying.

[dorkknightgamer]

This album is so ingrained in my head that I memorized literally ever bit of instrumentation and lyric! It's simply a masterpiece!

[mamefan]

Two of my favorite musicians (and all-around good people) and one of my favorite songs. Perfection!

[IronFury]

I will always appreciate more Pink Floyd covers from you. Awesome stuff!
