Worth It For One Song July 7, 2008

On Any Given Thursday, I discovered Covered in Rain. Seven years later, that is still my favorite song of all time. On Where The Light Is, that song is In Your Atmosphere.
Mayer Rides Again August 5, 2008

I've been lucky enough to see Mayer in concert. Add to that a couple appearances on Austin City Limits and two at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Festivals. For a little variety, throw in an appearance with Brad Paisley on CMT's Crossroads.
Mayer never disappoints and never ceases to surprise. It would be easy to dismiss him as a purveyor of commercial accoustic romantic ballads if the only only material one ever heard were from Room for Squares. In fairness a couple of those tracks were overplayed to the point of causing an allergic reaction.
Taking in his live appearances and the various concert shows one soon realizes that Mayer is a virtuoso. The only personal analogy that I can make is Winton Marsalis. The complete command of technical capability is eclipsed only by an instinctive 'feel' that transcends the notes on a page.
Mayer was wonderful with Double Trouble. His Austin City Limits cover of Empty Arms was a worthy tribute to Steve Ray. His performance with Buddy Guy was probably the surest sign I have ever seen that race no longer has a place in sports, politics or even music. Was that really a kid from Connecticut outdueling the legendary bluesman?
Where The Light Is delivers. Production quality is good, the play list is expansive and extends well beyond the customary radio roster.
The cover of Tom Petty's Free Fallin' made the DVD for me. It's a simple three chord song. I was just stunned that Mayer could develop a different and interesting arrangement, play it so perfecftly and exhibit such enthusiasm doing it.
Don't wait. Idolize this guy now. Most of the artistic geniuses labor in relative anonymity until way past their prime. This guy is the read deal and this DVD shows him in his element.
As evidence of my objectivity, I have to remark that the vocal on Belief is a little flat. It's one of my favorite songs and the version on the most recent Crossroads disk is much better. It's a little like a bad hair day for Heather Locklear. Hard to imagine throwing her out for a momentary lapse!
Enjoy

Brilliant work here. I was fortunate enough to see the show last December and this is almost as good as being there.
Stunning use of film - John & the gang never sounded better.
Buy it, you won't be disappointed, and like a reviewer recently said, "He plays like his life depends on it".

Having been a John Mayer fan since I first heard his Why Georgia song two years after it came out I knew there was more than meets the eye. So I explored and found all the JM info I could..and then Any given Thursday came out and City Love and Covered in Rain proved me right.. So needless to say I was waiting for him to come out with a lengthy live DVD, and people this is it.John Mayer approaching his prime, this is a great performance(specially Paparazzi part) and you won't regret this purchase. Mayer can shred with anyone out there alive right now.. BUY IT or and...

Virtuoso in action July 19, 2008

Discovered JM four years ago on a trip to the US at a record store in Dallas. Had absolutely no idea what I was buying, but I got caught by the fresh and young image at "room for squares" record. I am guitar fan, and watching this young guy reminded my of the time I also discovered Kenny Wayne Shepperd, also by pure intuition.
My intuition about John became one of the greatest personal discoveries that I have ever had, the amount of joy I get when listening to JM and by watching his concerts, is just beyond great.
The talent to handle both hands on a variety of guitars is like he invented the instrument; it seems that he thinks and the instrument translates into sounds, sounds that are new, intelligent, creative, profound, full of love and of course, full of meaning.
I bought, at the same time, both the DVD and the CD, knowing I was making the right thing. Now, having watched the DVD I am thinking of buying a dozen more for my friends, for the people I love I want them to feel the same emotions and admiration for this creature of nature that positively completes in an intelligent and enjoyable manner, any situation of our days life.
This material is definitely a valuable piece for any collection, from cinematographic perspective, music or poetry, is a must have.
Saludos from Mexico!
