  • Well done, guys. Great cover and sounds like I'm in the room with you xx

  • Great job guys, sounds spot on!

  • good job

  • Incredible cover.. 

  • Hey guys, watching a couple of the videos you guys shot here in this room, was wondering what kind of mic you guys are using in these videos? Sounds great! Keep rockin' \m/

  • @destroycarthage For the videos in my den we used a Rode Stereo Video Mic. It uses a 9 volt battery, and plugs into the camera via a standard mini headphone jack with an extension cable overriding the built-in mic. The mic will pick up the sound of you wrinkleing your shirt from 3 to 6 feet away. The stereo effect is very apparent on playback. They are really nice for situations like this one.

  • you guys are great

  • wow... very nice!

    but.... sorry for the second voice it doesnt blend. im just saying

  • la tab de donde la puedo encontrar?

    the TAB why have?

  • @OMGSWANTON Lo sentimos, no tenemos TAB. Utilizamos los oídos. Hay otros que enseñan en YouTube esta canción.

    

  • I love this song and you sing it and play it so beautifully! : )

  • You sing and play beautifully. Loved it ! :D

  • Nice to see New Mexico boys gettin' it done :) Nice job!

  • Hey the bass player looks like caption KERK, nice job BTW

  • Nice love it really 

  • that dude on the right kind of looks like william shatner.

  • i like listening to this one better than the original. nice guys

  • Dude, your voice is so beautiful... 5/5.

  • Loved it! You guys rock!

  • Que voz tan linda

  • by the way is that a washburn bass? what can you tell abut it? plays acoustic too? ad how does it sound unplugged? i was thinkin to get a dean performer for acustic bass, ill apreciate your comments, best regards

  • @cerojase Yes... it's a Washburn AB-20. It feels and plays Great, but is not very loud unplugged. Most others aremuch thicker bodied and clunky but perhaps a little louder acoustically. I've not played a Dean, but my rule is "if it feels good and sounds good,,, get it". You might check out the Breedlove series.. I got one recently... feels good, and different from the Washburn (check them all closely for buzzes near rthe 12th fret)

  • Nice nice :) gonna try it

  • Oh Man! Just discovered this! APPLAUSE! Very Nice!

  • WOW! You guys rock!! I looooooove this song! A great old song!!

  • Wow, you guys are awesome!

  • wow this is a really great cover :) im a big fan of crowded house

  • Damn it, its amazing.  I would you guys take requests for acoustic covers?

  • Hey I like that rain song, great guitar i have one, great job as well

  • That was really good! I definitely was not expecting that voice to come out of you! And I liked the guitar. The only part I was a little iffy on was the duo vocals in the chorus. Other than that, this was an awesome cover!

  • GEEEEZZUS best cover guys can you upload the chords for this

    

  • @rzamilla Don't look at me ...I'm just the bass player. There are actually several videos out that teach this song...

  • Not bad....

  • Sick! You guys totally made my day!

  • Suena muy bien, y encima disfrutais. Gracias.

  • I have been coming back to Jeff and Mike's work to show my two musician children 20 and 22 the standard they should try to meet. You just see the highly advanced musicians in both these men, and what has had to be years of hard work practicing and developing these skills such that they are able to roll out these jewels of performances one after the other. Your work is a pleasure to view, but also very inspirational and sets the bar high for everyone else. Thanks for keeping us coming back!!!!

  • @tapper49 Thanks tapper... that sorta cracks me up. We're really just a couple of old guys that do this to keep active. Still we appreciate all the positive comments and we're thankful that people actually bother to listen to us (and hire us to play now and then). I'm surprised that a lot of my musician friends from the 80s don't really play much anymore. The ones that do are playing a lot and sounding just great!

  • OMG you are awesome!!!!!!!

  • simply awesome. guitars are tuned well, bassist has a great voice and both voices blend great, love the solo being done on bass different yet not distracting from the original.... over all a great cover and it looks like you guys enjoy it and have a fun practice space. keep up the great work!

  • Awesome!

  • отлично мужики , круто просто !!!

  • great video

  • Nice vocals! As sure in your nodes as Don Henley :) Specially the high nodes are aced!

  • @MIKarlsen Actually you should hear him do Don Henley, especially Desperado! Too bad the Eagles in their arrogance and greed made us pull all our Eagle covers off Youtube, and after I spent more than $100 a ticket to look at Joe Walsh's ass all night. bastards!

  • its never better than crowded house dont be silly but its gd i liked it

  • Awesome! Top stuff! =D

  • I thought you guys were the actual band at first :). Really awesome you guys!! It brings me right back to the 80's... Keep playing :D

  • zajebiście veeeerrrrryyyy good !!!! pozdrowienia z Polski :-)

  • Just so you know, I used media converter to rip your version of the song to play it in my car while I drive. Excellent job guys, from one musician to two others.

  • that was smoothe!

    a couple of seasoned old schoolers showin the young'uns how its done ;-)

    i enjoyed that very much, thanks guys

  • talented yet humble, u guys r true musicians at heart!

    (respect)

  • You guys beat 95% of all the groups that I hear perform!! Yall need to get a manager and get out out. I know you could make it if you sound that good on here!!! Good Luck!!!!!! Enjoyed It !!!!

  • @abbey2772 Thanks Abbey, we're just a couple of old guys messing around with no real interest in much more than playing for free lift tickets and an occasional pizza. We actually get out and play 4 to 8 times a month in public settings, and that in itself is making it for us...

  • i wish there was a Love button just for this video!

  • Look of this hit! It's ever the best opportune duo!

  • you two are amazingg :D <3

  • good one guys , great vocals Jeff , and a great job on the bass !!

    I think you guys are better than you think !!

    You guys would go down a treat here in Aussie !

  • awesome version!

  • Great cover! Awesome job.

  • @Kikalani Thanks!! I've enjoyed going through a bunch of your vids as well... looks like we do a lot of the same sorts of gigs. We just came from a really nice party gig in the Albuquerque foothills... I love being paid and very well fed just to run through songs for fun on a warm summer evening as the sun sets on a millionaire's deck! Life could be so much worse!

  • Perfect best vie seen

  • Very nice .... excellent voice, professional guitar arrangements.

  • I've seen a few covers of this song on YT, so for yours has to be the best, and one of the only few who can play the intro well.

  • @gsf67 Thanks!! We appreciate the compliment... we are working on Solsbury Hill, and hope to eventually record it...we played it at a bar last night and finally got it to sound fairly presentable... singing while playing in 7 is an exercise for sure...J5

  • Love saw your new video with the girl are good. But none like this. I think you're horn ariginal vocalist, I love your beautiful voice.

  • @pattisantita Thank you for listening... we are just 2 old guys having a little fun.

  • Love saw your new video with the girl are good. But none like this. I think you're horn ariginal vocalist, I love your beautiful voice.

  • muy buena tios....

  • The bassist is very super and has a fine voice, wonderful your two!

  • Great stuff chaps keep em coming

  • That was very good.

    Professional music and voice.

  • great job

  • Sweetness, i found the full translation in another video, but thanks anyway. I love this version, a big kiss and success for both are handsome.

  • Hey Jeff...sitting here at work...ready to pull my hair out, and had to bring this song up again...just love it. and brings back a good memory. I should learn it on guitar as well. LOL. Looking forward to the new videos. Michael

  • @mdonohoe22 Hey Michael...glad you like it. I'm uploading a couple live vids for fun, but the quality is not so good. I hope to do some in the greenhouse soon. Hope all is going well....Jeff 5

  • Me encanta un monton este tema y eso que no se ingles, alguien que por favor me lo subtitule en espanol.

  • @pattisantita

    El título ... No sueñes que se ha terminado ...

    Hay libertad dentro, hay libertad sin

    tratar de atrapar la gran cantidad en un vaso de papel ...

    No creo que se traduce muy bien, y mi español no es muy grande

    tienen una maravillosa Cinco De Mayo.... J5

  • Very nice guys, this is great!

  • very nice

  • LOVE IT!

  • Really cool, guys. You had me at the first vocal harmony.

  • simplemente genial!!!!, lo hacen muy bien amigos, son excelentes musicos y jeff tiene un gran feeling, excelente arreglo del bajo......saludos desde mexico.

  • ¡Muchas gracias! Me alegro de saber que han disfrutado de nuestra música. Siempre el amor recibir mensajes desde lugares muy lejanos. Me gustaría estar en una playa en México en este momento .... Jeff 5, Nuevo México

  • WoW... that was dope!

  • Another great song.. I swear im gonna figure out how to put u 2 on my ipod..

  • I know I've commented on here before, I just love coming back this cover is simply incredible a surprisingly good accompaniment to walking home over the Brooklyn Bridge in NYC.

    Is there any chance we could get a non bar room version of "Free Fallin"? Also more U2, and I know a long shot for sure but maybe a cover of "Hallelujah"?

    Long shots I know, but something about you guys just keeps me coming back for more.

    Well that and the Kirk thing, thankfully you dont sing like Will Shatner.

  • Thanks for the good morning laugh and for stopping by! Lets see.. on Capt. Kirk... I've lost 25 lbs since this video was shot, so I am now more like the Kirk who fought the Gorn and kissed the swanky green girl (She packed my bags last night...Pre-Flight... I was given the Shatner/Nimoy CD for Christmas).

  • We do plan more videos soon, waiting for warmer weather to shoot in the greenhouse or by the pool...Hallelujah is a possibility (Hmmmm), but we also have some other new stuff... Goo Goo Dolls etc. My brother Rob lives a couple blocks from the Brooklyn bridge on the Brooklyn side.... far from my home in the Wild West. Take care...Jeff 5

  • how could i comment that it isnt good? it was awesome obiously.

  • Thank You for the compliment! I notice that you like Rick Springfield. He is a really nice person. My former roommate and band partner Derek plays keyboards in his band these days. I've seen them play many times.

  • @PecosMtJeff woo that sounds so cool.

  • I like so much !

  • oh my god. this is simply amazing. both instruments and vocals. singing while playing bass guitar is the hardest thing to do. Nicely done. Keep making more videos like this one!

  • Echt cool, superior!

  • great vocal!

  • bravo! good performance guys! what chords did you use???

  • Hey... I'm just the brainless bass player... I think there are some YT links that teach this song.

  • Really good performance :)

    And the singer...just amazing!

  • good work guys.

  • BRAVO very good job guys great sound I am trying to get this down on my guitar and you helped so much I did not realise its capoed Thanks Russ from Colorado

  • Thanks... Mike's guitar is tuned down a half step, so keep that in mind as you capo. A lot of our covers are from bands that tune down.

  • @OBAIDY Nice to hear from you! Thanks

  • great

  • Really love your songs.  Guess I'm now a FAN!

  • Thanks Tapper... we really appreciate all the comments. This week marks a big milestone in a six month saga... hopefully we'll be back to recording again within a month or two.....with me as a much skinnier Captain Kirk-looking bass player...Jeff

  • beautifully done.
