My favorite live performance of all time. When I fall out of love with music, I just watch that performance and instantly get chills and a the desire for music comes back.

[@Mundylore]

Same. I roll my eyes every time I know that advertisement comes in as soon as John is about to come in.

[@Guitargate]

Yes!!

[@OnAeeir]

should check out their other performance together of aint no sunshine the audio isnt the best idk what happened to the one with good quality but still good

[@StonerCreek74]

Almost made me spit out my coffee when I heard him say that lmfaooo

[@NickJardine]

These two songs are basically masterclasses in how to write perfect pop songs.

[@garretpeeples7744]

This performance is literally my favorite video on the internet

[@Mark-bl6oe]

16:00I I love how immersed you are in the music that you teach "Please welcome, John Mayer".... Mr Palmisano sitting in his studio forgets he's not at the concert and almost claps John onstage too. Love it 👍

[@placebo5466]

This has been one of my favorite live performances for years now. The way her and John go back and forth, her singing and him "singing" back with his guitar is such a great live moment.

[@Blakepurcell14]

My favorite phrase in this whole performance is Alicia saying “we’re just vibing”. Hits my musician heart

[@kerrihennebury7616]

She’s got a true, honest, creative soul. It shines through in her music. And John Mayer is equally amazing.

[@woody1755]

My favorite part is Alicia's giggle when John starts signing...true joy in music

[@kevenlefrancois1453]

One of the best live performance of all time. Sooooo much vibes

[@cmatte82]

I’ve seen him live many times. But once was right around the Trio/Continuum album. And gravity had become my obsession. Anyway I was at a show at the “starplex pavilion” in DFW. And he went into gravity. And he just killed it. And then he got to “keep me where the light is”. And it was like there were headlights just blaring from behind the stage. It was so epic. I’ll always remember that performance.

[@ReyFromCursedBuilds]

Yess. I've loved this performance for years. Great video Michael.

[@Guitargate]

Oh yeah. This is the one.

[@daa5249]

@@Guitargate I wonder why Alicia Keys deleted her pro Palestine tweet supporting the attack on the Jews?

[@waden404]

1) she is absolutely beautiful 2) this collaboration/song gave me the chills!!!

[@lam-thai-nguyen]

I absolutely don't know a thing about music watching this guy analyze every second of the song. Huge respect.

[@blakecampbell5751]

This is one of my all-time favorite collabs... two powerhouses of soul from their generation. I think I have listened to this rendition for hours. You did a phenomenal job breaking this down! Thank you as always, Michael!

[@EricTheSwede]

This is so good. Questlove of The Roots on drums is just making everything so much better!

[@jeffrey.a.hanson]

Alicia Keys’ Masterclass on songwriting was more interesting than expected. She’s unbelievably talented vocally and can play a piano with style! They’re a great pairing.

[@MickaelVest]

I, too, fall completely in love with Alicia Keys every single time I watch her live performances, no matter how many times I've seen them

[@tylerlevibald420]

Was singing this to my niece in the kitchen earlier today and got on KZbin to see this. Love your channel

[@SukitTrabeck]

So glad you covered this one. This performance always makes me just smile!!

[@alexwalsh3516]

Man, I can't think of any piece of live music that moves me more than this. Exceptional! Great analysis Michael.

[@kibon8387]

this is when musician get in the zone. you can feel how much they just having fun, dont care about any tempo or trying to be perfect or anything. its just pure fun.

[@emediongumoh1053]

The bassist crushed this🔥🔥

[@jokerstratos3464]

ONE OF THE BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE!!!

[@PlumbingArkansas]

I remember being a young kid hearing this play on mtv and just being so impressed by this song. Even though I was a die hard rock fan at that time. It was a guilty pleasure of mine for sure. Definitely wouldn’t have let my friends know I loved this song lol.

[@macdaddyns]

I didn't think it possible to like this performance more, but, your commentary and enthusiasm and love for music made it so much better. You are the best!

[@mooshafesterbone1645]

I cant explain it but watching this performance makes my eyes well up and I don't know why. I aint sad, but something about melodies that pretty with people that joyful in what they are doing is emotional to me.

[@makkerfelix]

true, it really makes you appreciate life and all the simple pleasures

[@micahf0]

Beauty of music, sometimes it can bring out emotions that you need to expel

[@komsanboonde2599]

I love this show so much.

[@davidkuda]

Man Michael, I love your videos, your passion and enthusiasm, for music and teaching. This was a joy to watch.

[@melissajcacaw]

I loved seeing you geek out to this because I, too, geek out every time I watch it. Two of the best artists out there and easily one of the best live performances of all time. I will forever envy those who got to experience this live!

[@colonelchubbers]

You know it's good when Michael is teaching every single phrase.

[@Konscious311]

Your videos give literally words to why i have been loving certain songs or performances, without having all this music theory knowledge and understanding exactly why i love them.

[@GadgetAddicted]

While so much of what you said went over my head, it's videos like these, listening to your analysis, that made me become a lifetime Guitargate subscriber. It will take years but I can't wait to fully understand exactly what you're saying. Thank you for making these videos, especially one on one of my fav live performances!

[@redrum482]

I agree - TREMENDOUS! So much to learn no matter if you play guitar, any other instrument or sing... This performance is a Master Class.

[@seandunbar]

Man I love how you explain your thought process. Keep up the great work! Earned my sub!!!

[@Guitargate]

Awesome, thank you!

[@crlujan]

What I love about Alicia Keys is that, when she sings, you can tell that she means every single word. She’s the truth.

[@esalazar425]

literally have had this video as my youtube bookmark just to get to youtube for at least 5 years already.

[@ththejackjumper]

You gave me an idea: what would be really cool when you have a guest is to pick one of their live tracks and go through it with them to see what they were thinking in the moment.

[@PiotrSamek]

Long awaited video. It doesn't get better than this.❤

[@SK8RIPSaBa]

Man, i have heard this song so many times but because of you i have heard this song different again. But not only this. also you brought me a complete diferent perspective on the guitar (i have just bought one). I liked your video so much and now i decided to show it to my dad (he loves music, this song/video and authentic people) we wanna tell you that yo seem to be a very nice, authentic and symphatic person. you really know what you are talking about. you feel seems to feel music on a different dimension. greetings from me and my dad from germany/poland. keep it up

[@albert0F]

Great knowledge here. So much to learn and appreciate from this. So much in fact that we all most times forget to watch whats happening on stage behind the leads. If you watch the faces and reactions of the chorus girl, the bassist, the guitar, and the ... orchestrator, dont know what to call him, they all know they are witnessing greatness in the making, and those are the most trusty witnesses of whats going on on stage. What a show.

[@tutszs1]

Yes!!! This is probably my favorite song mash up. Such an amazing performance. Love it

[@marcokoneke2727]

Watching this video for so many times for a couple of years now, it is so beautiful to see how much everyone on stage enjoys every single second of greatness, simply amazing an so powerful. Made me cry so many times🥹❤

[@mikem668]

The smiles are amazing.

[@Smittefar1]

This is such an amazing performance - I wish to got to see this side of Alicia more often, where she lets loose and lets her amazing talent shine. I love John Mayer, but he is playing second fiddle in this one.

[@waden404]

While the 'theory-speak' language is Spanglish to me, watching u disect n learn it (while showing us) is WAY COOL!!!

I love this performance

[@sunshynff]

OMG!!!!!! I have been trying to get a reactor to check this out for AGES!!!! It's in my top 5 live performances of all time!! Not sure how this reaction slipped by me, but you just made my Halloween!! Ok, just got done watching it, man It's so nice to see someone appreciate the raw talent those two bring to the table, and shout out to Quest Love, he is such the consummate drummer, rock solid no matter what the occasion! Tell Tyler I said thank you too if he's the one that picked this. What seems like a lifetime ago, I used to play a little, was even in a band for a while and gave lessons for extra money. I think it would be good for my soul to start again, not quite there yet though. Regardless, I always find new appreciation for a song whether it's my first listen or a song near n dear to my heart. Thank you again for all you do!

[@johnmcelhaney8490]

dug this performance seen it many times. she is a goddess, john was ok this performance to me. Great vid

[@itsiansu]

i will comment at 16:40 that the minor licks in a major key is something he is definitely still doing.. and doing well/tastefully! watch his recent performance with ed sheeran at foxborough.

You love her dont you! 🙂 I know I do and have for years! This is such an amazing performance!

Great video and reaction. Alicia is a legend, they jammin' that vibe so hard - i love it.

[@theplourde]

I remember showing this video to ex friends of mine who were like "mmm kay we'll humor you" at first and by the end of it were like "thank you" and would randomly put it on while playing some inane board game. Its stunning musicianship top to bottom.

[@builderphill1361]

Dont sell yourself short on your bends! They're like everyones voice, all are different but beautiful in their own way!

[@BarrackObamna]

Yeah, but I didn’t start learning guitar til I was 24 but when I started my bends sounded closest to joe Walsh, pretty harsh stabs with a quick pull and slow release. Now I can kind of copy most peoples bends, it usually is just where they like to anchor the bend at. And I’m no expert, so I don’t see why he feels stuck on that.. I’m pretty bad but I guess I’m weird in that I can copy bends almost perfect? I can’t play that well, but have been playing long enough to know when I’m in tune with the bends. I’m not a metal guy so Dimebag bends are the ones I can’t really do.

[@akwamarsunzal]

OH MAN! This is one of my go to tracks that I use to try and learn! Aside from the fact that Alicia has the most perfect voice, this is a beautiful, beautiful song! Sadly, as a grandpa minor pentatonic kinda guy, I love noodling over this! I normally stick with Em Pentatonic as, well, its what I know! But man, thank you for breaking this down! I have not much of an idea what you are saying with your music theory but thank you! This is going to be one video I will come back to time and time again! And, you have got another subscriber just for featuring Alicia! Thank you!

[@Shawneverette]

YEP!!!!!!!!!! She is really great!

[@johnnyg1914]

So Good SO GOOD!! Thank you so much! You really do make me wanna pick up a guitar and , if nothing else, get at least One Note better

[@DerSpalter]

Hi Michael, here's a tipp for you. Dancer by Idles is an absolute banger with the simplest of riffs you could imagine!

[@adamcrawford1346]

Hey Michael. This performance is all passion. Alicia’s voice has that power to grab your heart. Wow she’s amazing. I’d be terrified to play alongside. Lucky Johns not a shabby player. All the talent set aside for me went missing in the mail and went to John. The timing is sensational. It’s unbelievable. The breathing. Good to hear from you Micheal. Nice tone by the way.

[@adamcrawford1346]

I’ll follow up. I was lucky to have lessons from big Jim Sullivan and he helped me with solos I had to have prepared. He always said I should sing it first and then that was the right path. Thanks so much for your vids Michael, they inspire me.

[@ronaldwood5715]

the flow and groove of this for guitar reminds me of always be my baby by mariah carey. that would be great to dive into.

[@carsongreen3181]

This is the song where I finally really “got” diatonic harmony. And the 6-2-5-1. And diminished passing chords. It has all these classic moves in one beautiful, digestible song. Check out James Bay’s cover for another amazing take on this one.

[@DChame-jh6hl]

Here to support the love of music for all, you in yours and ability to teach, and the rest who understand to some degree the intricacies.

[@joespeer8825]

When John Mayer won the Grammy for “daughters” he broke his award in half and gave it to Alicia keys for this song as he believed she deserved it. He was right

[@NickJardine]

Did that actually happen?

[@tokotams]

@@NickJardine There's a video of it on KZbin, the 2019 Grammys I believe where they put it together for 1 night. It was a special moment for sure. :)

The tone I drives to get from my amp came from Johns tone in this video. The only thing I could describe it as when I was looking for it was “I want my amp to sound like a pop not a ping” 😂

[@Glenuig]

As if you were going to give two of the best live performers of the last 20 years anything less than a 10/10 :P They killed this performance. Sad that people nowadays forget there are performers at this level. Love that she reminded him singers run thing at 27 mins as well :)
