JOHN MAYER "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room", "Gravity", "Assassin" and John's little Joke @ LA Forum 3/15/2022 0:00 "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room" 6:36 Band introduced by John 8:02 Gravity 16:30 Assassin 21:07 Assassin (Part 2 - video picks up again) 21:51 John Joking Lenny Castro (percussions) in also on a video I recorded in 2018 with TOTO. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXW4Y6qcnKaVaZI Pino Palladino (bass) can be seen in my video from 2022 with Eddie Vedder at the Ohana Festival. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3_SeJJugddshdk I have a few more clips from this John Mayer show. If enough interest (comments, likes) show up for this video, I will do my best to upload them. Back story: I was up all night and into sunrise working on this video. When I got home from the show, I always back up my files 2X. Before copying the folders, I deleted these unnecessary "xml" files generate for each video and for some reason all my videos got deleted! So I spent $50 to purchase software online that could recover the files on my SD card. That was a 2 step process that took about 2 hours! I was planning to put all the videos onto this YT upload but the sun was already coming up! It took 1 hour to render the video, about 6 hours to upload (4K 29GB file) and hours for YT to process! It's 4PM now and it's still processing. Tired :) So I have the videos to watch myself, but I really do want to share with others if people are interested. One thing that is time consuming is cropping in (zoom in post) when I edit because it takes time making sure he stays in the frame and I don't cut his head off, ha ha. Please let me know if that is something you'd like to see, or if it is find just the way it is without post-edit zoom. Thanks for watching!

[@rockmusicvideoreviewer896]

The zoom crop looks neat! I don't notice loss in picture quality. But even without it, video is still very enjoyable to watch. Don't sweat it, just keep rocking \m/

[@3VAudioVideo]

@@rockmusicvideoreviewer896 Thanks! I do my work with 27" monitors so I get thrown off when people comment that they can't see well. I forget most people use their cell phones for viewing KZbin videos. I guess I am just old school, ha ha :)

[@rockmusicvideoreviewer896]

@@3VAudioVideo LOL! I'm old school too. I use my TV to watch KZbin videos.

[@rexsterling7346]

Incredible video! Thanks for posting!

[@kierstinchambers8346]

Would love to see those other videos you have! This is great. Thanks for sharing!!

[@KyleDavisMusic]

God I love Assassin

[@rockmusicvideoreviewer896]

Me too! I keep coming back to this video to watch it, and sometime I don't even watch it but just listen to it through my home theater speakers. John sounds so soooo good on this recording!

[@bluesenthused7244]

I’ve never seen John play at this level, his musicianship just keeps getting better and better. This is prime Mayer

[@Lea99Jones]

his time in dead & company did no harm!

[@toogsx6980]

HE PLAYED ASSASSIN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 12 YEARS I AM SO JEALOUS

[@3VAudioVideo]

Yep! So fortunate to have seen and heard this amazing song of his live!

[@franklindelanoroosevelt9177]

Would’ve cried

[@Brandon-youtube]

Do we have any leads as to why he hadn't or why he chose now

[@transamination]

Pino Palladino looks like he's so in to it in every one of these videos.

[@palamoi]

John sounds great. The best he's sounded in years. Maybe because he is a little older, more at peace with himself. His band is always top notch. I love Lenny Castro since he played with Stevie Nicks. So glad he played Assassin. An oldie but goodie.

[@kimberlykairo]

What a John Mayer trifecta. Three of his perfectly beautiful works of genius musical art. I love it. I love this master artist

[@yaroslavtarnavskiy7721]

I’m glad to hear song “Assassin” Nice memories.

[@relyks8645]

Almost feels like a lost gem for some reason. He should play it more.

[@3VAudioVideo]

@@relyks8645 I was told he hadn't played it live since 2010! Such a treat for everyone that night. He also didn't play it the next night. Wonder when he'll play it again?

[@relyks8645]

@@3VAudioVideo Such a great song

[@fatimasahermohammed2507]

Thank you for sharing this! Incredible sound & video quality. Assassin is such a great song! 💜

[@3VAudioVideo]

It really is a great song! Hasn't been played live since 2010. Thanks for the nice comment!

[@NeoMental]

This is awesome. John is one of those musicians that I absolutely love his live stuff more than the studio versions. I really hope we can get a new collection of As/Is

[@3VAudioVideo]

I totally agree about his live stuff! He was awesome!

[@millerjd001]

Great audio. Thx!

[@rockmusicvideoreviewer896]

Outstanding performance by Mayer and with so many great legends on stage! Great video capture too, looks and sounds as if I was there.

[@steveb9325]

Guitar players out there: tell me you don't here Stevie's (SRV) licks in there (Gravity) big time influence. Awesome playing. Listen to "life without you" by SRV.

[@3VAudioVideo]

SRV is what I was thinking all throughout the show.

[@sirhilaryflange]

Bringing Albert King licks to a pop audience, love it!! Much like Stevie did with Bowie 🔥🔥

[@waynewoodger3820]

Mr Palladino himself!😀

[@3VAudioVideo]

I just learned about him after video taping him with Eddie Vedder last summer, and now I see him everywhere! He kicks butt!

[@lucraucoules4642]

Awesome footage, thanks so much for uploading. I was also at this show, the set list was incredible and he was shredding. Would love to rewatch any and all footage you upload

[@Billyclapton]

many thanks

[@Alexander-sz1jh]

I could do with some more Mayer, if you've got it 😊

[@carriebprice]

So good!! Great quality ….Thanks for posting!

[@3VAudioVideo]

Thanks! John was AWESOME!!

[@hiurixD]

wow, amazing quality, what gear do you use for film and audio?

[@livehead16]

Thank you for this great video! I was there, too, and I was so stoked to hear "Assassin". I would love to see more of your videos - the audio is so great. For me, personally, I don't need the crop-zoom, but to each their own. :)

[@fofori7392]

With Aaron Sterling the drums is on another level. Slow Dancing master in the middle solo , Who is this drummer here?

[@3VAudioVideo]

John introduces the band at 6:36

[@BlackStar-ol4hw]

OMG the audio is crystal clear in this video. Video looks real good too. Are you using a Blackmagic camera?

[@3VAudioVideo]

RX100vii

[@fade6hg]

Love the video and audio. Man I’ve never heard john mayers drummers be off but this one def off. :/ I know he’s a legend but his fills are rushing on “slow dancing in a burning a room” I wonder If that’s why Arron Sterling is back.

[@JAHarry6]

19:45 is why we're here.

[@mintyjang]

What section and seat were you in and how far did you have to zoom in? The quality is still pretty good.

[@3VAudioVideo]

8X optical zoom. 2X digital zoom (in post) on a few clips. I was on the floor, about the 75% away from the stage. The last 25% of the floor there are bleacher seats set up. I was at around the 4th row bleachers. Close to the sound engineers. We just saw another show there a few hours ago, seats in the same area. Video will be up in a few hours. The lighting was not as good (which is key to quality) so this new one isn't quite as good, but ok ;) Tears for Fears with Garbage opening.

[@daileeeeeee]

​@3.V Audio & Video 15:57 did you know how far was your position from the stage in feet / meters? sorry for such a noob question. 😅 i'm curious how far 8x optical zoom can reach, i'm going to a concert next month and my seat seems will be 30-40 meters far from the stage.

[@3VAudioVideo]

@@daileeeeeee Hi Fajar (and the other person who's user name I have no keys to type out ;) ) I posted my answer for you in the COMMUNITY section in my YT channel. I don't know the distance, but I put a seating chart to show you were I was for this show. And then you can Google actual images for LA Forum to get a n even better idea. Sometimes YT filters out links so that is why I didn't paste them here, but there are so many to look at. Let me know if you have any more questions! Oh, btw, tomorrow I will be at a new football stadium for the 1st time (recording) and be ever further away so it will be interesting to see how it turns out.

[@karl07777]

oh my even Vai and Paul Gilbert couldn't make a guitar look that small. how tall are you really

[@jerrychiemeke7525]

He's 6'4

[@smurfman4442]

did you shoot this in 4k30 or 60?

[@3VAudioVideo]

4k30

[@IniDim]

I’m sorry but that drummer just is not it. Steve Jordan >

[@jemerysim]

aaron sterling was also amazing on his last tour

[@jerrychiemeke7525]

Steve Jordan is the best drummer for songs on #Continuum and #BattleStudies

[@blankfaceduser3596]

He painfully Overplays his Solos. Just an observation.

[@transamination]

He doesn't always get it right, but when he does they're brilliant. Some of examples of Slow Dancing... on this tour are incredible.

[@franlevine2755]

Ok and it’s his concert he can do whatever he wants

[@unclecrips]

Watch Slow Dancing from this tour with Maren Morris. His playing in that video is perfectly underdone
