I'd never get tired of listening to you, guys. Nor watching you singing and playing music. You're delightful.

Wow , I am almost 59 years old and this took me back in time instantly , that voice is perfect for the old school songs , so good !

You two could sing my hardware store shopping list and make it sound like paradise! So, so good!!!!

Fortunately for us your both here and on top form with one of my favourite songs from back in the day. Great audio quality from those microphones with such clarity that both your voices really shone. More please :) .

Really beautiful cover! Big like!

You two are sounding great as always. Loved this.

Very nice. One of my favorite songs you’ve done.

Beautiful!!!

I've seen lots of your covers, and this is definitely one of your best! Your voices really suit this song. When you record your own album these are the types of songs you should be focusing on, slowish, easy listing songs. Congrats guys! 👏👏👏👏

Not that long ago I was thinking you would do a great job with Joni! Beautifully done!

Perfection

Really nice cover. Well done.

Brilliant! As usual beautiful vocals and guitar all mic'd so it sounds absolutely stunning. Well done!

your Version and the counting crows Version are both awesome!

Sweetest voice in history

I love this song and you really did it justice, thank you :)

Ooh this is perfect! Best cover yet I think.

Joni Mitchell used to babysit my mom in the early 60s in Fort Macleod, Alberta. 🖤

Well done! 👏👏👏👏

Великолепное исполнение! Обожаю вас ребята и то, что вы делаете!👍👍👍

Super 👏👏👏

Cristina it says on the video details above. Gravity mic stands. Model is posted in the description. I agree these look awesome! I have never see white stands before

Boo to the thumbs down...GREAT JOB GUYS 👏👏

2:36 is so funny with the guitar pose

Download everything yall put on spotify!

Awesome Cover guys! You both have such great vocals. Keep up the great content! :)

My favorite guys

I was hoping you did the new addition, where they add ooh-pa-pa-pa. Or was that in the original ? As always, this is perfect pitch and I envy the guitar playing. I was adopted at 12 and my new bedroom had my new dad's D-28 hand-made Martin (about a 1964 model?) I messed with it and found the chords on my own , only I didn't know what they were. At six months I was rocking, and I thought maybe I was some kind of a natural. Nope. I sound just like I did in 1972. But for now, playing guitar is better than playing a harp. Great Video !!

I'd love to hear these guys teamed-up with Pentatonix. Oh holy Jebus!!! A collaboration like that would slay, slay SUH - LAAAAAAY !!!!

I really adore your voiceee Pls do case of you by Joni Mitchell next 😍

🧘‍♀️ Close your eyes and just breath.

Muito bom gente gostei muito cara vc toca muito parabéns e vc canta muito 🇧🇷🇧🇷

Anyone else weak when she sings “gone”?

She's a tough one to cover. Great job.

Can you do Chelsea Morning? Its my absolute fav Joni Mitchell

Did he say, 2, 3, 5 at the beginning? Sounded awesome guys!

The lady mate will kill doing songs for animation and cartoons; like Sofia the first; Frozen typa soundtracks

Could y'all please do a cover of any of your best Bob Marley?

Did i hear 1 - 2 - 3 - 5 lovely sound.

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone They paved paradise and put up a parking lot Ooooh, bop bop bop Ooooh, bop bop bop Don't it always seem to go They took all the trees, and put them in a tree museum And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them No, no, no Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got 'till it's gone They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot Ooooh, bop bop bop Ooooh, bop bop bop Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT I don't care about spots on my apples Leave me the birds and the bees Please Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got 'till it's gone They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot Hey now! They paved paradise, to put up a parking lot Ooooh, bop bop bop Ooooh, bop bop bop Escrito por:Joni Mitchell

When are. you going to put this on iTunes? I really enjoy your interpretation of this song. It's great.

Wow!!! Beautiful song and voice! Nice set up with the white mic stands! who makes them??

Se vcs puder por favor canta uma brasileira??

You really looks good together...:-)

bellissimi

Can you do A Case of You by Joni Mitchell? :(((

Julie should tune up a guitar in open D and do it like Joni did. :) Easier to play than you might think in open D.... and FUN!

So good, I really love your work. New setting is also very cool (better lighting). I'm curious, do yo record all mics at once? If so, any tip how to avoid phasing issues and doubling on the other mics? Your sound is just so clear, when I tried something similar I had issues with parallel recording. Thanks and keep up your brilliant and constant content ;-)

The music is good. But how come when I watch this dual perform, I want to say, “Sheesh, get a room already.” ?

Personal (probably unpopular) opinion - I've always really liked this song but I got tired of the original recording of it because of the the falsetto followed by low register singing followed by the weird laughter at the end of it. So this is one of the rare situations where I like the cover version of a song better than the original. Thanks for doing this one.

Intro sounds like Kiss Me

It starts exactly as "kiss me"

Was Spencer using an open tuning ?

they paved paradise and put up a parking lot with a pink hotel, a boutique and a swinging hot spot don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone they paved paradise and put up a parking lot. they took all the trees and put them in a tree museum and they charged all the people a dollar and a half just to see 'em don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got, till it's gone they paved paradise and put up a parking lot. hey farmer turmer put away that DDT now give me spots on my apples but leave me the birds and the bees please don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone they paved paradise and put up a parking lot late last night i heard the screen door slam and a big yellow taxi took away my old man don't it always seem to go that you don't now what you've got till it's gone they paved paradise and put up a parking lot

love your voices but... guitar needs to be in open D tuning... looks like you can play so tune it up mate

It's lockdown in Belgium . just saying 😅
