Heartbreaking that so many people perform this beautiful song without the vocal counterpoint. These guys nailed it, best cover I've found.

Mike's getting a lot of love, which he deserves, but I thought Jeff killed it in this cover. His harmony is spot-on.

I hope that pizza joint has room to accommodate about 1.5 million new fans.

Jeff Hall belongs in the KZfaq Music Hall of Fame. So underrated.

How can people have so many subs and fans in the world and have no talent like most of the pop stars today, and these guys playing in a pizza place ? I don't understand it. These guys gives me the chills and I would love to see them live ! Greetings from Denmark

to be honest this cover is just as good as the original

and the sign flashed out it's warning in the words that it was forming and the sign said: "Pie Pizza"

One of my favorite hippy songs...brings me back..

Jeff's backing vocals are fantastically tight yet again. In many ways doing the backing harmony is the more difficult part, but he nails it!

You 2 are actually equal among the greatest musicians in the world❤Let none tell you otherwise

Jeff the bassist has the voice of an angel

Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share And no one dared Disturb the sound of silence "Fools, " said I, "You do not know Silence, like a cancer, grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you" But my words, like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells, of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls" And whispered in the sounds of silence

Beautiful harmonies Jeff, you don't get enough credit for all these tunes. Your bass and vocals are always bang on

These guys are RIDICULOUSLY GOOD. Pure voices, beautiful harmonies, fantastic musicianship. Would love to see them play someday.

Mike Masse and Jeff Hall are the new Simon and garfunkel. Man Its good to hear people who cover a song with passion

How could I surf the net for 14 years and this never came up?

The only duo I know that consistently does it better than the original pair.

As a musician & singer I can say that was one of the best covers of the song "The Sound of Silence" I've ever heard in my life time. I give that song a 10+.

As breathtaking as the masters themselves. Lucky if you walk in for a pizza an stay there all night to just soak this stuff up.

that bass comes in so heavy... love it

These guys deliver this stunning performance and afterwards one guy in the audience goes "Yeah!" Come on!!!

I'm sad that it's taken me this long to find the amazing music of Mike Masse and Jeff Hall. Such gifted musicians and singers. Just a perfect rendition of a classic. Bravo.

OMFG these 2 are unbelievable

As I return and listen to this for the 5 th time I can't help but wonder how 433 people could give this a thumbs down. This is an absolutely outstanding rendition and performance.

If you’re reading this, Mike, you and Jeff absolutely nail these songs...awesome vocals and tasteful musicianship. In another era, you would have been massive. Thanks for doing what you do, Sir!

That moment when you realize you found this acoustic cover after 10 years as the best one you ever heared in your whole life. Greetings and much love from germany

Recorded in 2009 before it became fashionable to jump on the Disturbed bandwagon of dark and brooding versions of this song. Awesome version.

Wowww

I'm mesmerized by Jeff's bass playing…..well done!

I miss these days when Jeff and Mike played together, it was like magic. Jeff must be pissed because I haven't seen him do anything with Mike since he went on his own. It's a shame Jeff didn't move with you Mike or you didn't stay in Salt Lake with him.

Jesus. Im broken... thankyou mike... you opened up my emotions id forgotten about

The slides on the bass!!!!

I've always found it very difficult to sing along to those harmonies. That's why I love their ease and beauty of singing!

This is just a haunting and beautiful cover ! What a shame that the music industry has chosen to promote garbage and image instead of the brilliance and talent of guys like this.

Wonderful! It's also nice to see another Lefty that plays the guitar right-handed.

...and here I find myself again...gotta say chaps, that is 'kin unbelievable.🇬🇧🎶❤️🇬🇧

Holy shit. Those people at the pizza parlor are really lucky.And that little bass slide is a really nice extra touch.

Am I going too far when I say that this guy can sing the song better than the original composer?

This song video makes me SOOOO HAPPY!!! 💖💖💖 I LOVE YOU BOTH LOVE FROM THE PHILIPPINES

I'm supposed to sleep now, but i can't stop watching these vids

Excellent 10/10

You have an uncanny ability to get to the musical heart of a song, and tease out the real beauty behind the melodies. Makes me wish you would do a cover of 'Take Me Home, Country Roads'.

What's so impressive about the bassist is he let the guitarist (I don't know who's who) just sing the melody however he wants and then adjusts EVERY harmony to him. Which is not how Simone and Garfunkel did it and is much harder. Bravo

Big fan of Simon and Garfunkel, and now, big fan of you two.

that bass! that bass!

That is magical... So little people can really apreciate real music. Good thing we have KZfaq so more People can hear it. ❤️❤️

Above amazing, I found the true singers to follow from now on.

This is so good I got goosebumbs! Good job, wow!

2009 video with 1080p quality and superb audio. Wow!

That deserved a WAY BETTER round of applause! awesome!

So good! Awesome duo 👌✌️

Okay, I have to say it. The fact that people are talking during this performance shocks me. If I were in the room while this was going on, I would be floored. I play music almost every weekend and there wouldn't be anything that important to talk about while this bitchin performance was happening... Great work guys....

Only guys who have done the cover worthy of this song genius. I wish Paul and Art could hear this - they would be quite touched. On another note, Mike I wish you would perform theatres and stages - you have a following :)

Louis C.K, you've always impressed me!

perfect vocal harmonies, thank you.

Best version ever! Took me two days to finally find this. So soothing. ❤

This song makes you want to go and travel somewhere beautiful

It breaks my heart to hear how small of a crowd you performed this for. You deserve all the recognition you've attained on here.

Thanks Pie Pizzeria! You made it happen. Been listening to this for 8 years now!

The most underrated duo in the world. Look at their other covers.

That harmony tho!!! Spot on !!!

One of the greatest compositions of all time; a brilliant work of art. And a worthy cover.

私は日本人です。２人の演奏歌声、最高です！！

Never was a huge fan of the original cut. Then I heard Disturbed and it was a whole new song. This one is a close second to that one, and is probably the best uptempo version I have heard.

Your covers are honestly my favourite on KZfaq, you manage to make the songs just as equally as beautiful as the originals, but still your own. So much respect for you as a musician :)

I never heard of these guys until five minutes ago and they're great!

Everytime I watch the performances (any given song) recorded at the pizza joint. I can't help but think just how clueless the people there must be. They're entirely disconnected perhaps unaware of just what it is they're being treated to. These are amazing covers of timeless songs and these people respond to it as if they were listening to a jukebox. (maybe, that's it...these guys are so good folks think it's the jukebox) Seriously, it's mind boggling...the one thing I do know is I wish I lived nearby...pizza, beer and these two guys (save me a seat at the bar) I'm there and I'm making damn sure my gratitude and appreciation is obvious, loud, and clear.

TOP, TOP, TOP, FANTASTIC.

Hey These guys are great! It just goes to show there are great ones that Don't make it big as there's just so much room at the top everyone can't be there all at once. Music is about making as many people happy around us as we can possibly find, even if it's a handful of folks, it's a special gift to them.

How does this pizzeria in UT have better music than most venues by me in NYC?!?!?!

Jeff Hall I'm still here man... your a beast. love ya mike you guys ROCK !!!!

Sometimes there are voices that simply but beautifully compliment each other...this is one of those times. It's not as impressive as 'Africa' but this is still seriously good. Am glad Mike and Jeff met each other.

I’ve watched/listened to literally thousands of cover songs here on KZfaq,,, and this was no doubt one of the very best!! AWESOME JOB!!!

Jeff is amazing. You guys together were the best cover duo that has ever existed. Love to both!

I can't watched just one song! These guys are from another planet or something like that.. AMAZING!

Take your "disturbed" and ram it! This is the only cover required,......... Outstanding

I would not have thought it possible to cover that song in a matter that does the original justice. You just proved me wrong. That was simply amazing to listen to.

I'm still shocked when I find videos this old that are this amazing. How did I never come across this musical perfection before now?

Im listening while im confïned at the quarantine facility in legaspi city, phils. Your music cured atleast my anxiaty. Keep on singing !!

Am I really listening to a cover? If this is played on a radio, no one would even notice it's a cover. Been listening to you guys since 2017 💗 still the best!

you guys ROCK!

woah goosebumps.... OUTSTANDING!

As far as I’m concerned, Mike & Jeff are genuine superstars. They deserve so much more success, and hopefully that has happened. The harmonies are bone chilling!!!

Terrific❤

Are you serious??? I thought I was listening to my all time fav duet. You guys are unbelievably amazing!

Perfect! Nailed it!!!

Wow!!!! This is a real MUSICAL COUPLE . . . so good that make the audience revive the music they professionally and beautifully perform and make us feel in the 70s and 80s when it was created!

masterpiece.

You guys are so talented. The harmony is breathtaking!

Phenomenal performance. Just discovered this incredible guy and love his song choices.

Jeff Hall is awesome as Mike is.

I know he'll be getting to sing on my wedding day 💪❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

one of the best covers of this song! excellent vocals, even at a cafe! and that bass work!

this is the best cover ive ever heard, of any song, ever

You guys are worthy of a Royal Albert Hall invite. I have no doubt that they can recognize the musicianship. And they truly appreciate a good acoustic number👍

Hello Mike Masse. My name is Danny I live in Queensland Australia. Well my friend I just ran across your music on KZfaq by chance wanting to hear acoustic songs. Omg!! Where have you been 4 ever? Absolutely you are the most awesome singer/ songwriter with little publicity over here mate.You need to come to Australia and tour here. No joke. You’ll be loved over here my friend. The genres of songs you sing are amazing and extraordinarily pitch and verse perfect. The Gem in the soloist and duo’s world. I applaud you Mike. Keep up the fine work. P.s. I’m saddened also for your family losses. Cheers mate👍👍👌👌

Bloody fantastic fellers!

Great job, you guys are awesome.

Incredible. Beautiful.
