John Mayer & Phillip Phillips - Old Love (Baltimore 12/14/13)

John Mayer joining Phillip Phillips for a surprise performance of Old Love at the Baltimore Arena on 12/14/13.

[@tricko2286]

Mayer is clearly once in a lifetime artist - he uses space as much as he uses notes and it is just genius. Really don’t know if anyone is as talented as JM (including Clapton, Hendrix, etc even though he would probably be the first to say they are better). JM obviously practices a lot but he is also a natural.

[@pawelzabicki7785]

At last, someone has said it! :))

[@DDHawkeyes1206]

What he does from 4:13 to 4:25 is unbelievable. Not just technique-wise, but the melody in the notes and the soul in it. Overall a great solo by John. Whoever was playing off on the side of the stage sounded great too.

[@vinibarretos]

This is one of the bests John Mayer solos, incredible!

[@mikepalethorpe]

this is one of his best - you can see the recent influence of Derek Trucks

[@Jugs_TV]

+mike p you mean the slide he does? hes been doing that forever man. he destroys pentatonics and makes it look super easy. i think he does it in a performance during his live in la tour. same slide.

[@mikepalethorpe]

Yeah around 4:13 - 4:36 - the slide phrasing...

[@Solanaman]

One of his most basic solos really haha, the song is just dope af. Classic

[@timporter6112]

I was at this show...AWESOME!

[@JohnCarterification]

Really good juxtaposition of a self-made master musician who worked his way from the very bottom and a kid who got thrown to the top with a contract made by a show that's been around for way too many seasons. Mayer just kicks it, he was completely in his groove for this performance.

[@blok31092]

Definitely a good point but Phillip Phillips is very talented himself. I'm not a huge fan of American Idol but when it gives a genuinely good guy the opportunity to get his music out there like it did for Phillip, I support it

[@soonerred22]

Phillip's guitar player is really good. Then mayer stepped back up and put him in his place. Nice.

[@elvanmcm]

That's Errol Cooney. They've been touring together for 6 months at this time. I was there. John was nothing but humble that night. They had a great time jamming together.

[@imsura3554]

I actually enjoyed mayers first part of the solo more than Errol's very nice but typical or a little boring pentatonic licks. granted, mayers was also pentatonic mostly, but it was not the typical licks

[@brunotrindade9584]

@@imsura3554 he literally does the eric old love solo at the end

[@TwoBucksShy]

that awkward moment when you try to cover Clapton and John Mayer shows up.

[@MrMusicM67]

you really think John just showed up? lmao Also He probably came cause Phillip Phillips was going to be on his tour next (which he was his starting man for his 2014 tour)

[@elvanmcm]

They have been touring together for 6 months at this point lol. I was there. They both cover Old Love, together it was spectacular!

[@javiersilva5409]

It's good...but not as good as clapton live at Albert hall about 6 years ago.

[@BenSmith-lw8we]

Mayer bossed it!! Excellent guitar solo!

[@dreadlockbanana]

POINT THE FUCKING CAMERA AT THE SOLOIST

[@richardchambers1124]

Crazy how much better he got after the hiatus due to his voice problems. His style is the same, but different at the same time. Me likey!

[@caspervanhelvoirt]

yeah! :)

[@not_THAT_karen]

great combo of two wonderful singers. I wish i was there to see in person.

[@jodycrawford2841]

Old Love! John Mayer & Phillip Phillips

[@KamyGG]

Sweet moments.. Both visual & musical.

[@catheyharris1004]

Out shined Phillip for sure!

[@geraldinevarela6950]

John Mayer is the king!! The very best!!

[@Charlleyw]

All y'all drooling over Mayer's Clapton influences. . . go back and listen to ROBERT CRAY who wrote the song along with Clapton.

[@robertwellington2616]

Charlleyw thank you. Robert Cray is constantly overlooked. He definitely co-wrote this great song with Eric Clapton. 👍

[@TheGuitarislove]

I was at this show. Brilliant

[@gabrieltsiry]

you can tell he's visibly surprised at how good the other guitarist's solo is.

[@elvanmcm]

They've been touring together for 6 months by this point time. John Mayer heard Errol Cooney's killer guitar solos many a times!

[@gabrieltsiry]

I did not know that! Funny thing is, it sounds like something Mayer would have played, ... a few years back.

[@mikealbert5509]

Gabriel RAKOTONAIVO Hes been there and done that...he played circle around that other dude!!

[@imsura3554]

then proceeded to flex on him right after... damn, technically that slide solo he did was insane..

[@Gydh]

Awesome..Oh! God....

[@dreadlockbanana]

5:40 when he does the Quagmire

Sitting here alone in my apartment eating eggs and making the nastiest guitar solo faces

[@kazemaik2315]

Jeff Beck's spirit is on guitar... Drummer's groove is huuuuuuuge (what a kickdrum, sound tech!) nice :D

You mean Clapton's, right?

hey John nice song

its a clapton song tho...

+csanchezcuba so....

[@sebastianparris8209]

Phillip Phillips cant escape Johns Groove

[@propmaster101]

Idk why whoever was holding the camera didn’t put on the other guitarist while he was soloing. It’s not all about John🤣

[@sherwins9308]

Mannnnnn

give me continuation!

Big solo from john

OH MY FUCKIN GOD

stay with someone the way philip looks at you at 2:12

[@fucu41]

Omg I didnt Know John Mayer was a Soul Singer too, well my job jus got alot harder

[@la196]

Always has been from the very beginning. Blues is where the man shines!

[@fucu41]

I know but if u look at the Chord changes, that is not standard blues

[@fucu41]

***** I know but that is not standard blues,that is mixed wit a lil soul and R&B

[@la196]

Was talking in general not necessarily just this video. Try watching when he's jamming with Clapton, Buddy Guy, all those blues specialist. He's hangs tough with em like he's been doing it as long as the old dogs.

[@fucu41]

Blues is his thing

[@matthewchappell6453]

Clapton's version is so good! but mayer takes clapton's style and modernizes it!

[@ljones81]

I was at this show. I love John but I was VERY impressed by Phillip Phillips. I found myself enjoying him more than John. John was still good though as you can see.

[@VictorKMayfield]

+Judah Fist Phillip is a very amazing artist...Music comes out of him in a very intersting way

[@jennypennypocket]

I remember being stuck on old boyfriends, but in recent years, the flame burnt out on day 7 when my ally turned into my enemy. Boy was that a memorable scene.

[@dreadlockbanana]

So easily could have turned it to slow dancing in a burning room, or i dont trust myself

[@srijaljoshi3421]

Slow dancing is not in the same key though

[@gatitaprinston]

No one like Eric clapton´s guitar sound and his voice

[@amandalamb5724]

This is annoying. such good audio quality and this person obviously didn't know how to use a camera right.

[@leinoey4132]

the mic stand just to high for Phillip.. but for John it's fine.. :D

wISH THE DRUMMER WOULD have taken off with John at the end, into a full blown out snare and bass drum outro.....I think John was trying to get him to go there......

[@niallmorland]

People are aware this is a cover right ?

[@biancabiondi9969]

I hope hahaha

[@handicap17]

wow even with john meyer u sound ecellent

[@MrDT543]

Saw this show. John was pretty wiped at that point in the tour. Didn't seem himself. Still a great show, but not as good as his one a few months earlier in Virginia.

[@sigd]

Why does he look like a substitute teacher

[@jennyfleming622]

Amazing musicians but very annoying video with the people's heads in the way

[@houston20nyk]

I've seen Mayer and Clapton live multiple times, but that's somewhat irrelevant to this comment. This cover is a B+ at best. Before you respond, search the Clapton live versions with Tim Carmon killer keyboard solos after the Clapton solos. There are 4 or 5 great ones. MSG / Hyde Park / multiple South America vids from 2011. Blows this cover away. You'll be happy. Trust me.

[@ddesa123]

Agreed 100%. This is great but nothing will top 24 nights, MSG and Hyde Park. Peak Clapton!!!

[@ritacelia5357]

Esse sujeito ja foi embora?Se ja foi otimo!tolerancia zero pra estrelismo e arrogancia.

[@DogVIFI2001]

Phillip's voice destroyed the song

[@mom6701]

If you don't know how to record and hold your stupid phone still, what else in life can you do? LOL

[@floepiejane]

Sloppy tone and boring, unoriginal solo overall. Those pops that lead phrases are just cringy.
