JOHN MAYER & RYAN ADAMS : "Come Pick Me Up" / The Forum, Los Angeles (April 21, 2017)

[@championhairpuller]

Ryan is the best singer/songwriter of his generation, IMHO!

[@johnthornton4266]

Jason Isbell has my vote. ...I'm not going to go to dismiss your opinion. It is a subjective thing

[@toddhoffman4169]

These are our modern day prolific artists. Anyone who goes thumbs down - I ask you to reconsider. Labels mean nothing. Just great music.

[@Aardvarked88]

A dislike means even less, focus on something important.

[@shadygroves8252]

so awesome this happened. two modern legends #heroes

[@mattgrimmer9909]

Love either or hate either, Shady Groves isn't really wrong.....these two are both first round hall of famers now.

[@dfrancer]

marxxmann Go back to sleep.

[@theindiediary5950]

Both are indeed at the top of their game. If you have any rock n roll in your bones. You know Ryan Adams is legit. And John Mayer is the perfect musician.

[@theindiediary5950]

My favorite modern solo artists are John Mayer, Ryan Adams & Jack White. So this was just like a dream. Had Jack White came out as well I would have dropped dead. :P

[@philcilia4482]

Ryan’s solo is sympathetic to his song and understated...

[@bentskies]

RIght? That solo was beautiful

[@PhatBoi911]

Yes

[@mattgrimmer9909]

I consider both of these guys to be vastly underrated. It's nice that two guys who seemingly are musical opposits have enough of a mutual respect for one another to play together like this.....very very cool. I'm a huge deadhead, and so is Ryan, and apparently now so is John (enough so to do a quite serviceable turn with the Dead). Nice for those to see that Ryan can more than hold his own Solo wise (in service to the song that is) with John, who's own songwriting is vastly overshadowed by his typically flowery playing.

[@likeanantelope1842]

The connection is the dead. Both heads in their own right with Ryan playing with Phil 15 years ago and Mayer doing the dead and co thing. Both amazing songwriters from different points of view brought together by Jerry.

[@MP-wb6gz]

Opposits? You don't really know them..

[@nickandrews3834]

I gotta laugh at peeps calling musicians who sell out stadiums, tour internationally and sell millions of units "underrated".

[@kellismith376]

Two of my absolute favorite contemporary artists on stage together... fantastic!!! I would have loved to be there. Saw John a few nights earlier.

[@babibu5380]

Kelli Smith definitely agree

[@stevemccown1903]

Love this ! Also glad i have all of the Whiskeytown Records & cd's ! Hope one day they can have a re-unite tour when they can finely forgive each others feelings !

[@daviddavisproject]

Magic. Pure magic.

[@newpurplerider9802]

Weird, never thought I'd see this happen, but I love it.

[@Pope2501]

My dream concert would be Adams, Mayer, and Corgan, with a guest appearance from Guy Clark, at Antone's for three hours drunk almost out of my mind.

[@tarquindufresne7172]

weird combo

[@-Swamp_Donkey-]

Mike Patton, Enya and PJ Harvey for me

[@AcuJM]

Antones shout out 👍

[@evademarchi6746]

Love from France i love them!!!!!

[@jencarahaly3460]

Oh my GOD! How awesome

[@anthbraith]

John Mayer owns Hendrix, Clapton, SRV, modern day genius. It doesn't hurt that he is playing with one of the all time greatest songwriters and voices of all time in Ryan Adams.

[@Pope2501]

anthbraith I saw him.play with King and Clapton and Buddy Guy on stage. The stopped and watched Mayer play. Legendary performer.

[@Asjemenou-d3j]

anthbraith, You mean owns their records. lol

[@williambenthal8989]

I've seen Clapton and met SRV in July 1990. I wouldn't let Mayer carry SRV's gear. However, among modern players, he is good.

[@pawelzabicki7785]

Well, SRV was pretty limited - superb clean and fast technique, but in terms of musical versatility, adaptiveness, creativity, Mayer is above, not to mention his successful writing in completely different genres. And saying he is good among other players is just out of any objectivity. Watching him playing with his heroes and in general guitar heroes, he trumps at many levels.

[@itsjusthammy]

Disagree. Very talented to say own, is wild to me. John Mayer is the musician he is because of the musicians you claim he owns.

[@PhatBoi911]

Ryan Adams is just so deep. Like, his music is literally more prolific than John Mayer. Wild

[@rachelfleming2007]

Omg Jonh Mayer is so damn cute!!! Love me some Ryan! Love this!

[@tylermcswain9760]

Wow! Why did I not fly out to see this?

[@forbesy8568]

this just made my day

[@rikard.h]

This is all I ever wished for... Stunning! :)

[@seanorourke5090]

Thank you for recording this!

[@runnerup9786]

Is that.....Pino Palladino!? Man's a legend, he's played with absolutely everyone!!

[@jljonesar]

It is!! Check him out with the JM Trio, he’s phenomenal.

[@volkwino]

great song!!

[@thalles5406]

Next Step: invite Damien Rice

[@alexcover1348]

4 year old reply, but HECK YES

[@TheEllsworth8]

Late reply as well, but this would be awesome!

[@Cruzosaurus]

Damn. I got Shawn Mendez at his Toronto show....would have died if I got this!

[@tHeXeKuter]

how i'd love to know what John's favorite RA album and song are. or better yet what unreleased album of his is his favorite. he has to know most of Ryan's unreleased stuff

[@josephmccafferty199]

There's a reason that Adams doesn't always like people "noodling" all over his songs, and that's because they never do it as expertly as Mayer does here. Where they often detract, he adds. Great collaboration, but not nearly as good as the version of Elton John's Rocket man, I got to hear Adams and Counting Crow's Duritz do at a concert (I think it was to support Gold) I got to hear in Boston. I've been to a lot of concerts and that is still the best moment of them all!!!!!!

[@fannyingabout]

Excellent.

[@kaiserjay4530]

My dream come true.

[@timothychristopher9307]

The Best of Generation X right there on stage together.. Damn, if Jenny Lewis was there Nirvana would happen

[@JulianFernandez]

Ryan should do an album with Steve Jordan!

[@tbngeorgetown]

one day I'll be there, some day some how. Georgetown Alabama usa

[@Psyrn74]

Nice!

[@ParadoxKismet]

Yes. This.

[@kfadez88]

GREAT SEATS!!! i was there also! tomorrow I'm uploading my daily vlogg and its when i went!!!

[@chelseabrennan1439]

I think I would have died

[@ddust102]

me too.

[@lentas08]

These boys are the chidlren of the DEAD, or Jackson Browne, Neil Young, Clapton, etc, so they grew up listening to the Greats, no wonder they sound derivative, but they are not, this is a new sound, at least twenty years if thats new, thats pure rock and roll/ americana/ blues , its totally generic, and honed to the point of brilliance. Fabulous music

[@Sonicdiary]

Keith Turner I could not have said it better 👏👏

[@johnthornton4266]

JM adds his bluesy style to this timeless tune. So glad this was caught on decent video..... BadAss

[@johnthornton4266]

Also glad JM is a recovered ego addict. Those are his own words

[@malagon310]

I was there too!!

[@ErinDay2]

Epic

[@Tennessee1981]

This is an example of very "Underrated" vs"Overrated" Obviously Ryan Adams is the KING!

[@jessiejane3392]

John is playing by invitation with Ryan who wrote the song. Stop whineing and hating art is taking place.

[@adamcoe]

I believe it was John's show and Ryan was the guest but yeah. Super cool.

[@ginalopez7915]

This was a leg of John's Search for Everything Tour. Ryan was his guest. Fabulous!

[@JordansTake35]

Yeah, Ryan can't sell out the forum. This was John's show

[@swansinthesea5381]

John Mayer: Wow.. i get to play with Ryan Adams.....! .. i wonder if il ever write a song as great as this?.....

[@TheRomeerome]

Next...New Album please !

[@georom]

Rock ain’t dead yet

[@michaelwtapp]

JOhn Mayer can't stop noodling

[@Grant_Ferstat]

I think Mayer was a little excited but I thought he could've stayed out of the verses a bit...Still, ya know live music means you don't always make perfect choices on the spot.

[@nocaster9]

And that just happened

[@Steve-up5zn]

Pino Palladino on bass, looking like the Big Friendly Giant he is. Not sure I get the John Mayer thing though.

[@TheDrummingWarrior]

I like your profile picture

[@mano1971music]

Lloyd Benson ....mods forever!

[@mikesmith5381]

ryan knew way earlier that his jacket did not fit him

[@omarb2637]

😲😲😲😲

[@mattthrun-nowicki8641]

Fender-fest 2017

[@ScottR31]

Thumbs down?!?🤦‍♂️

[@BrandonOsborn404]

Nobody gave a "Bass Up", too bad.

[@ricardogutierrez4361]

Mayer fucking the song all up with his guitar...should of just let Ryan do his thing on the harmonica...other than that,it was cool.😊

[@adam-bailey]

I thought they should kiss , like Britney n Madonna . Can't be only the women who push that liberation /art form

[@Duncanlinc]

The drummer should've listened to the fucking song once or twice.

[@ChizM]

that is steve jordan he plays the way he wants! the dudes a god

[@bngibbs7494]

Seriously. Accolades for TwitShit mayer? Ryan Adams owns his ass on lyrics, harmonica, soul,and style.

[@rufusdelux3222]

...Pino...the main man

[@chrisattigliato1]

Everyone’s probably like “who the fuck is Ryan Adams?”

[@citizenerased1955]

I knew this was doomed. God.. nails on a chalkboard

[@srv1959]

Depressing

[@StashRiders]

It was great until Mayer started singing.

[@ginalopez7915]

Yeah, he does tend to sing at his shows ha!!

[@TeenDaad]

Was cool till Johnny boy fumbled through his lil blues dad scales

[@bluesk7835]

Jeff Roalson you can't ruin an already trashy song. The concert was great without Ryan.

[@colleenpate1484]

Exactly. This song is unadulterated garbage. Not even sure why it was played here tbh

[@blackfrancis55]

Obviously Mayer doesn't agree with you. He rates him, and his song.

[@redmondpanic]

😂 my thoughts exactly, absolutely horrid. Felt sorry for him. He was thinking about it too much.

[@tofromks]

The only thing wrong with this is the greed of thinking this music sounds good in a sports arena. Two really great talents, one thinks he’s a rock star though and this tour was a big arena money grab. Shame on you John.

[@ginge82]

When you want to ruin a classic song invite a kermit voiced cheeseball to 'white guy blues' noodle all the way through it. Awful.

[@martinshaw3408]

👍

[@SimMaster]

this is not a cool fun song, this feeling is pathetic

[@xKegz]

SimMaster shut up
