[@joshuabuesa]

The fact that John stopped the important song for a fan that needs medic, it's just another level of care and make him more legendary. Man, you've earned my respect a thousand times more.

[@nuendo2496]

They probably were dying of boredom.

[@mexicofly]

There should be a dedicated person doing this with a birds eye view of the whole crowd. Seems silly that the star of the show has to stop for something like this be attended to. Not fair for the people who bought tickets

Not like.. you know.. Travis Scott that stood there singing "dead... deaad" over and over in a satanic ritual while his fans were dying and getting carried out. Bit more human response from John 😅

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

That solo was so nice. Love how he improvised and then played the original recorded solo.

[@alexousky]

Yours are also incredible Ross 😊 So good to hear the master indeed.

[@selliantuttimusi6735]

He does it more often than not. You are amazing BTW ;)

[@Aaronius_Maximus]

@Ross Campbell Oh yeah, that was super tasty for sure.. Such an exciting player to watch perform. Ross you are also the f*kn' man too btw! ;)

[@Umuliuz]

Johns Slow Dancing solos as of later years has varied amongst interesting/experimental and good. But some evenings he hits that Glory Chord, and man….

Bro I'm getting a Fender Custom Shop 1960 JourneyMan Relic in Fiesta red because of you

[@chris.richard]

Low key the percussionist playing the tambourine is CRUSHING this. No joke it's such a fucking dope part he's playing.

[@woodypernell416]

We're going to set you up with $100,000 percussion rig on a riser... Cool, thanks! .......but we want you to just play this $50 tamborine. Don't worry...you'll have "the LOOK!".....oh, and put these sunglasses on.

[@Alfram]

It really does tie the percussion set nicely.

[@j-milz]

Agree. Lenny Castro is a boss. The mix was also dialed in really well to hear it.

[@neilfisher7999]

Saw him live several years ago. He keeps getting better and better. He has become my all time favorite guitar player. I also saw Clapton back in the 90's. In my opinion, John has surpassed many of the all time greats.

[@MrSongwriter2]

He’s far less of a knob than Clapton. Clapton wrote some great songs but mainly in the 70’s and 80’s

[@f.i.l.d.e.p.s]

was easy during clapton era, any lick you would play back then was kind of new. when you play a lick now and even if it came out on your own, chances are the lick was already played dozens of times by someone famous. point is, the fact that meyer could still come up with a good song despite used licks without getting bored. i know this because it struck my interest to play sdiabr live in la.

@@simpsimpson5175 - Thanks for the tip. At what point - of ever - does it stop being heresy to say that people can eventually become even greater than the previous legends even as it's always acknowledged that they stand on the shoulders of those that came before? Hendrix - 3 studio albumsover 2 years, 3 live albums all released on '70. Untimely death but the catalog is what it is. Mayer - 8 studio albmis (and counting over a 20 year period, 7 live albums (and counting) released over a 5 year period in his mid-early career Which doesn't mention his work with Dead & Co. But it's not just about quantity - I get that completely. It's also about breadth of work. Not everyone liked Room for Squares. Or Sob Rock for that point. But as bookends of the career right now, if you take into account what's in the middle - from the Trio, so Born and Raised, and you honestly look at (OK listen to) the sheer variety of the music Mayer has explored, at this point I think it's hard to really say that he doesn't deserve to be listened to. But it's also not just about breadth, and this is where it's all subjective. I find his playing more nuanced and interesting than either Hendrix or SRV (gasp, I know). His studio albums are - for me - the runways from which to get comfortable, before accessing his live work, which takes me away and has reduced me to tears on many more occassions than I can count. For me, he is the single most important guitar player of all tme - for me and how I listen. I think maybe Knoplfler would be second if I tried to make a list because - again for me - at the end of the day it's about the impact the music has on me. It seems silly to try to pick who's a "better" guitar player from any type of technical perspective; they're all the best after a certain point aren't they? I think it's about what the music does, and means to the listener. So Simp, thanks for the suggestion, I had actually listened to Mr Hendrix before, and I'm willing to say if not for him, maybe Mayer isn't what he is today. Maybe absent the inspiration from hearing Hendrix, Mayer is a lawyer, or a plumber. I have no idea. But the argument that what comes after can never surpass what came before flies in the face of human achievement and progress, and for me it's not convincing. Peace from NYC and take care.

Steve is great for the sob rock songs but man, Im not feeling the nuance on the older material that people like Sterling or Jordan would bring to the table. Also am I crazy or is Steve sight reading the whole set?

First of all respect for stopping the song, of course. Those were some wonderfully inventive solos, particularly the first one.

[@dtoure4953]

Amazing. All it needs is that mid solo section dynamic drop from the band like in the 2019 and born and raised tour. I hope he adds that back in is such a great moment. Also big respect for stopping on the outro for medic attention.

[@cosmonaut9942]

Mayer's tone is so great when using that Two Rock for his clean playing. He should stick with it.

[@BeefNEggs057]

Yeah I noticed it was back there too. Nothing beats it. Best sound. Guessing his dumble is there somewhere too. That beats it probably. Supposedly close in sound to each other. Who knows with unobtainium amps like that. One things for sure. The PRS amps just weren’t as good for classic Mayer songs like this.

[@HanfM]

respect!

i seriously don't understand why john doesn't get J.J. johnson back? out of all mayers touring drummers he is easily the best, he sits in the song and sounds identical to the records

[@MykWazowski]

I think he left the TTB to join Gary Clark Jr. Don't quote me, though. J.J. definitely has a style and pocket of his own.

Playing all those Dead songs has only expanded his typically blues-based solo-ing.

[@haydenmorehouse4864]

Nice an all, but when is he going to drop that PRS and pick up a real Strat again? Fender Strat was better in every way and suited him better.

[@msgoines]

Lmao. You mean the guitar that was designed and built to be better than the vintage Fenders he used? Ok booboo. Fenders are great and all. Classics no doubt, but that's like comparing the horsepower of a Ferrari (PRS) to the horsepower of a 50 year old horse (that'd be the Fender). It has a much broader range and usefulness. Which suits him better than being pigeonholed into one sound.

[@TheAaronp17]

You know that’s his signature guitar. He went to prs because fender wouldn’t make the changes to a fender that he wanted on his signature guitar.
