Stairway to Heaven (acoustic Led Zeppelin cover) - Mike Massé and Jeff Hall

Mike’s 80-song collection, “Covers (Mostly Live)”:
Mike’s 30-song collection, “Covers, Vol. 2”:

Liner Notes: This video was initially and instantly blocked when I uploaded it in 2017. But at some point, YouTube 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 The tour dates at the end are outdated, but I'm glad this is finally available on my YouTube channel.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

To play this and sing it expertly is something else!

[Soccox]

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

[thepepperlanders]

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

[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.

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.

[bijankhadembashi]

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

[ianchampagne]

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.

[jedhermit]

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.

[jenirambrothers]

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..

[guilhermeduarte]

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

[MikeJohnson-bbry]

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.

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

[markshane]

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

[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

[markdavies]

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!

[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)

[ageingviking]

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 !

[DarinCampbell]

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

[Sebassie]

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

[ZR]

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