Thanks for the Love brother! A friend of mine sent me this. Great playing and tone, keep up the good work.

Micheal: "ok obviously the dude is a looper. incredibly well rehearsed..." Me, knowing the song: "oh dear, you have no idea what's coming for you. I just wait for your jaw to drop through the floor."

I've seen Mike Love live twice and he is just truly channeling while playing, you can see the energy entering his crown chakra. TRUE SOUL MEDICINE!!!

Wow that harmony stuff they was doing like 11:00 -13:00. Chills. Hair raising. Every couple seconds into tears of Love. Beyond unique.

Oh my goodness!!! Starting down the medicine music road. Welcome home. Mike Love is amazing!!!!

I used to see Mike at O'Toole's in Waikiki every Tuesday night for a couple years - "The dude has obviously played a lot of solo gigs" I was always blown away. Music just flows out of him.

I’ve followed Mike Love to 5 states over the course of the last 10 years and I’m overjoyed to see him being shared more and more everyday! We love you, Mike! 🤙🏼

I'm a Jamaican first time hearing of mike love he is a very talented artist I would listen to him all day i just subscribe like your content

So glad to see Mike getting some love. I can’t recommend more his “Babylon Control” live session. Its hard to put into words just how good it is

His reaction to Mike Love was the best! I love seeing people so passionate about music. This hi sessions Permanent Holiday & the Be Thankful recordings are my favorites 😊 Mike Love is on another level

I have never heard anyone like Mike Love! His music helped me in a very hard time back in 2017 when I lost my brother Mike Grabow. RIP bro. His song No Regrets touched my soul. Grateful for his music. Seeing him in concert is like going to a whole new dimension.

Found Mike Love during quarantine - this song has become my quarantune! Was waiting to see your reaction to the acapella part... one of the most creative, genius expressions of sound I’ve ever heard. At first you’re like ‘what?, what are you saying?’ then the layers and harmonies come in and it’s mind blowing. Absolute beast of a tune and great message too.

Mike love is amazing live! The set is as perfect as this take. Hes an amazing musician and and incredible human being! Love seeing he's appreciated! Thanks for your take🙏

Not even part of the phrase. He's doing part of the word. And it just goes together like a jigsaw. I just started watching Mike love 2 weeks ago and he is unbelievable!

I am so happy you've seen Mike Love! That vocal loop part blows my mind every time I see it. Looping 1/3 of the syllables at a time. I can barely think about he does that, let alone do it.

Saw mike love solo act last year in Phoenix. He literally moved the audience to tears. I've been to a lot of shows and never had an experience with the audience like I did that night. A truly magical experience I will never forget. Hopefully he comes back with the full circle!

Love your genuine reaction to his music. Hard not to smile at Mike and Sam's performance here

I can see in your eyes you have much fun listening to mike love big up brother

@Michael Palmisano This is awesome man. I am glad you enjoyed it. Some really good reggae musicians out there! I love what you do on here. Great for us trying to understand songs that we love. Keep it up!!

I went to a Mike Love show in Boston this past year. After the concert mike came out to the crowd and there was a huge line of people waiting to meet him. He took time with each person, hugged them, listened to them, and was just so present and happy. I waited and got to hug him. I could feel love pouring out of him. It was INSANE. this man is on to something. One love all.

I saw Mike for the first time at the rumba Cafe in Columbus two years back for $16 me and my girl were the first ones in the venue after soundcheck and Mike comes up to us "you're already here!" He said and immediately gave her and I a big hug. Mike you're a beautiful force of love keep up the mission 🖤🖤

Thanks for doing this one! I suggested it. Your reaction to the beginning of the vocal loop was priceless! So Good!!!! He is still going strong!

Every video I've watched you have posted has been a band I've never heard of and I love them all. You have introduced me to so many great musicians. i just wanted to say thanks!

2023 still playing live I got to see him. It's even crazier live. His slide guitar... dude if y'all haven't seen song Babylon control..... watch it now

I used to love going to his solo shows at Hawaiian Brian’s every Wednesday 🤙🏼

Hes a beast bro love him alot.. he loves what he does.. he has more soul than most..

Loved me some Mike Love and Nahko when I was livin on the big island. Definitely should do some Keller Williams now since that was on repeat around that time too.

I listen to Mike Love everyday!!!! Stick Figure is another amazing under rated solo artist.

Don't think I've ever seen one of your reactions where you looked so excited and eager to play along. Love it!

I am a huge Mike love fan and I saw he shared this. This is so awesome man I will be subscribing for sure!!!

I got to see Mike Love by total chance playing in person in a health food store in Hawaii like 10 years ago!!! He’s incredible and a super nice guy!

What an epic video! This is the first video I’ve seen on your channel and it’s outstanding. I know very little about guitar but I’ve been a music collector for a long time. I can respect and appreciation your passion for music

Teacher was taught by Love. JAH RULES

Having listened to this dozens of times, to see you crack it open with no idea is priceless!

Just saw Mike Love live here in Melbourne Florida and was blown away!! Check out Cas Haley’s version of walking on the moon! He played the same night as Mike Love and I can’t stop listening to his collection of work.

Been listening to mike love for years! He is a pedalboard wizard

One of my fave reactions of yours...especially know what's coming up, and just sitting here with sheer excitement waiting for you to experience it.

Hell yeah dude, Mike Love is the man! And so are you! Loved watching your reaction

Enjoyed this reaction so much my man!!! Very well done 👍🏽😁

Wow... This melted my mind!! Such incredible talent!!

That was great fun to watch you listen to this great track. I've heard it heaps of times so I knew what you were in store for. Amazing song and performance from Mike Love.

It was so fun watching you watch him, and feel him

I honestly think mike love is going to explode in popularity within the next year! Gotta get his name out, we saw him live in Hawaii last year in July!

Mike love’s music has changed my life... check out his other videos too please please please do it, there is so much skill and emotion and amazing looping

Never heard of him before. Fan of his music now just after this. Thanks for this video.

Loved how you picked it apart the way you did. Appreciate you.

So happy you found Mike. He is an extremely talented musician and super humble human. And I see he found you. I really enjoy just watching your excitement as a musician watching and describing what other musicians do.

Love this dude. Your improv solo near the end sounded awesome

This breakdown of Permanent Holiday is great! Had the amazing opportunity to see Mike at a small venue a few years back. He and Sam (the drummer) played for at least two hours only stopping long enough to thank the crowd occasionally. You've got to check out this live take of Jon Gomm's Passionflower. Talk about an inner ear. Thanks for all you do! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pL9netFy1py-nqs.html

I am happy you discovered Mike. He is pure light.v

Yeah, Mike Love! A flippin hero. My friends say that that he could be one of the best guitarists today. Watching your video I’m staring to believe it’s so

Brother, you have earned yourself a sub. Mike love out here getting love ❤️ your approach towards this was amazing ... keep it up

Been listening to Mike Love since 2015 ♥️💛💚 one of the greatest Reggae Artist alive 👌 Jah Love

This is like my favourite performance ever. I am so excited to see your reaction. Such talents right there!

Super awesome ! Mike Love is a musical genius! Love his music, it moves the soul ! Thank you thank you thank you

Mike love is one of the greatest. Glad you’ve experienced his amazing style, everyone should. Guys so talented it’s unreal

Holy crap this guy is good ! Thanks for reacting to him. Love finding music through your channel

Hell yes Michael - seeing that you chose this tune just made my day! We lived on Oahu from 2014-2015 my wife and I went to a ton of Mike Love gigs, solo, duo, trio, full band etc... Seeing him play a few gigs around that time with Paula Fuga and Sam (the drummer) at Boardriders on Friday nights in Kailua was absolutely incredible. I highly recommend everyone to explore more of Mike Love's music as well as Paula Fuga and Dubkonscious.

This is such a big change for these reacts! Love Mike Love

Most down to earth guys ever too 💕🙌🏽

I have been a fan of mike for years now, and I was lucky enough to see him twice within a few days while I was travelling as a 19 year old in Hawaii in 2015, and he is as loving/kind person in reality as you might imagine! (Lucky enough to meet him after his shows) And he has truly shaped the person I have become today with his music. He is also the musician who got me into learning guitar. And I will be a fan of his as long as I am here on this rock. I can never thank this man enough for the good he has done in my life ❤️

I love all the songs you are reviewing!

Dude. Watch his video of song Humble. I could let it play all day. Met Mike last year at a fortunate youth show in Petaluma. He’s a sweetheart. Nicest human I’ve ever met.

PRICELESS REACTION, brother! I had a very similar reaction the first time I saw this video. ♾❤️ for Mike’s hard work and the message he’s sharing.

Distant Travelers by Mike Love really showcases his pickin skills! Very very good song!

I saw Mike Love live a couple years ago. Seeing him loop this live was crazy! He was also one of the most soft spoken and sweetest humans it was amazing!

I'd completely forgotten about Mike Love! He's super talented and humble. His loops are crispy and tasteful, his voice is angelic. He even rocked the hell out of a ukulele in the first video I saw him in. "No Regrets" is another great tune to check out!

All of his albums are beyond amazing front to back. Loved to see your reactions on this video.. a timeless masterpiece.

Dude you just interacting and joining in like that was so exciting. lol very good, you'rea favorite yo for sure. 🤘🏻

Great vid. So cool to see people getting excited about Mike Love. A note on reggae rhythm playing - everyone always wants to play reggae parts with upstrokes but pretty much every reggae guitarist (including Mike in this video) plays that rhythm on the 2 and 4 with downstrokes, and with full chords across all six strings. When you start playing a ska rhythm on the offbeat ( 1 AND 2 AND) that's when you want to use the upstroke (which you see Mike doing about here 5:10).

Mike Love is a daily fix. Glad to see him receiving the love. I hope you checked his recent rendition of Peter Tosh. "You can't blame the youth"

Bro, mike and sam gettin the recognition they need to have. Thank you for this. ❤❤❤

Subbed because of this!!!

Isn’t this just one of the coolest songs? I’ve been obsessed with it for a few months. It was cool to see someone break it down like this. Thanks!

In about 2011 I walked in this bar in the Chinatown of Honolulu and this guy was playing. I got to see him play his weekly shows at another bar about a block from my house. His music has been a blessing to me ever since. Distant Travelers by him was mine and my wife’s wedding song. I still get goosebumps listening to this song.

This was so entertaining. Permanent holiday might be the best video on the internet. Life changing.
