John Mayer - No Such Thing (Live at the Nokia Theatre)

Music video by John Mayer performing No Such Thing. (c) 2008 SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT

That bass line is what keeps me here and the lyrics and the guitar. Everything actually.

totally!

i love the piano

[@emaper]

@Rigor Mortis David LaBruyere's tone is massive and extremely elegant...

[@pechy88]

Excelente!

[@valenbidart]

It's amazing how EVERY FUCKING SONG he performed on that theatre is even better than the original one. I wish he had done "Another Kind Of Green". Today we'd have a killer version of it to play on repeat over and over again.

[@Luismayer77]

Valentin Bidart I’m a huge John fan but I think this DVD is edited cause John vocally is this good but I doubt he can sing better all the songs live, he usually goes up and down at the same concert. Sorry for my shitty english

[@lancebangle]

Luis Suárez He goes up and down nowadays because he had surgery on his vocal cords a few years ago. However, I do think the vocals are edited a little, but that happens to nearly every dvd recording.

[@kyranlewis4759]

Pretty much every single song in that set is better than the studio version. Not many artists can claim that, such a great live performance.

[@fabiangonzalezreyes]

I was a huge John Mayer fan back in the days. Now I appreciate his music (while I hate some of his work), but this concert is just perfect. One of the greatest live recordings of all time. It's flawless.

[@lapelcelery42]

That's true, but it was also all processed in studio before the release - there's autotuning and note correction. It's still an amazing performance, but it sounds a little more superhumanly accurate than it actually was if you listen to bootlegs of the same night.

[@ianferguson_]

JJ Johnson messes up at 3:15 and goes out of time, disguised well by world-class musicians who allowed for his mistake, you'll allso hear John rush a couple of words because of this.

[@marklastmark3763]

No the song tempo starts speeding up at 3:04, all of them are progressively going faster, nothing is out of sync, looks a stylistic climax done many a times. It actually starts at 3:14. The drum lead in at 3:14 leads to the transition at 3:18. The bass follows too. They all do actually start at 3:14. No mistake.

[@breakinglight9422]

Even if the song was played perfectly, I reckon No Such Thing still doesn't make it into the album. Apart from the acoustic set, Where The Light Is on the whole is very blues-focused. A lot of the songs from his first two albums weren't even performed here. The more rock and pop-type songs are omitted in favour of the more bluesy sound. No Such Thing and Bigger Than My Body, while played in this concert, probably were removed because they didn't match the feel the live album was going for. This is all just speculation from me, I've got no evidence to back this up, but it feels like this is the reason.

[@reverseosmosis32]

@@breakinglight9422 he played Bigger Than My Body too? What's the actual setlist of this show?

[@marcusalx]

What the HELL? This is from Where The Light Is and they cut it out!?! My life is a lie.

Marcus Alexander he surely didn`t like the way it came out.

I guess not.. I can't blame him for being picky, I'd be the same.. But this is brilliant! :(

+Maximo Mastrolia I don't understand. This is perfect I mean, probably better than any other no such thing live

[@maximomastrolia]

who knows what JM would be thinking when he cut this take out. I like it.

[@marcusalx]

Deryck MENG Nobody can see it through his eyes unfortunately.. Like Maximo says, he was probably unhappy about some element of the song! :/

[@boshliwangkhem5808]

I've never known an artist like Mayer.All his songs are good.There's no bad Mayer song. Honestly.

[@JoshuaCelisMedia]

John had always been the type to sound good in recording, and extremely fricking good live. Wish I could ever go to one of his concerts.

[@marcpuyuelograndas1005]

This did not make it in the final album release because Mayer messed up in a moment singing the wrong lyrics but, appart from this human error, this live version is fantastic

[@wendisukmadarmawan]

which one is it?

[@marcpuyuelograndas1005]

@@wendisukmadarmawan what do you mean?

[@leonardocurti9219]

He said something that sound like "i never lived the CREAM prom kings". Even though they tried to fix it, i think that mayer thought that it wasn't good enough. Sorry about english errors, i'm not american lol

[@bhimaadhiguna5332]

I think there was a slightly messed up-tempo starting from 3:15 - 3:23. That's probably the reason this fantastic version was not included in the release.

"Welcome to the real world", she said to me Condescendingly Take a seat Take your life Plot it out in black and white Well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings And the drama queens I'd like to think the best of me Is still hiding Up my sleeve They love to tell you Stay inside the lines But something's better On the other side I want to run through the halls of my high school I want to scream at the Top of my lungs I just found out there's no such thing as the real world Just a lie you've got to rise above So the good boys and girls take the so called right track Faded white hats Grabbing credits and Maybe transfers They read all the books but they can't find the answers And all of our parents They're getting older I wonder if they've wished for anything better While in their memories Tiny tragedies They love to tell you Stay inside the lines But something's better On the other side I want to run through the halls of my high school I want to scream at the Top of my lungs I just found out there's no such thing as the real world Just a lie you've got to rise above I am invincible I am invincible I am invincible As long as I'm alive I want to run through the halls of my high school I want to scream at the Top of my lungs I just found out there's no such thing as the real world Just a lie you've got to rise above I just can't wait til my ten year reunion I'm gonna bust down the double doors And when I stand on these tables before you You will know what all this time was for

I am so confused right now... I've probably watched/listened to WTLI over 200 times now. I bought a PS3 JUST so that I can buy the blue ray DVD of the concert. I've typed in "no such thing live" probably 50 times because I love the version he sings at the record store. And I don't think I ever seen or heard this song during the concert before. Apparently KZbin decided today is the day lol

I think one of the other reasons why this isn't on the album is cause at the end, they started to speed up a lot. You can try to keep track of the tempo but it does speed up a bit as the song progresses (especially after the bridge) (3:04)
