Am I the only one who thinks we should get an album of all John Mayer released and unreleased covers? Imagine being able to have “Going down the road feel in’ bad” “Route 66” “Promises” ,etc in the same album 🤞🏻

John Mayer is a Big Dude that strat looks tiny in his hands. And a very excellent player to be sure. Miss Jerry's tone on this tune. Especially above the 12th fret.

[@robinorrorr1828]

Love to listen to John play his electric guitar and sing his songs.

[@SecondCasey24]

It's a grateful dead song not John Mayer's.

[@MysticMonkeyMiracle]

@@SecondCasey24 The Dead covered this too. It's like an early 1900-1920's song. I believe Delaney and Bonnie showed the Dead this song during Festival Express. Toby and Davvy on KZbin do much better than ol John Mayer over here tbh.

[@tusk779]

Woody Guthrie wrote it, then Doc Watson popularized it, the version which Jerry took to as he grew up playing bluegrass with the legends

If you’re not movin and groovin to this jam session...you’re not listening to the music, you’re just being selfish.

[@kenhedoityeshecan]

Nothing like the Dead starting a set with “Going down the Road Feeling Bad, the energy goes through the roof.

[@g_rr_tt]

I watched it live about 10 years ago and I still keep coming back. It's decisively the best recorded version of this song.

[@treintagrados9566]

How can someone be this good?

[@UnequalTemperament]

John Mayer is of course fantastic, here, but props to the band -- the bass player, especially, but the backup singers, steel guitar, and everyone else, too, laying down such a groovy, many-layered foundation -- they really add a lot and make the song.

[@mikeday2393]

truth

[@nuclearcarnie]

What a transformation John Mayer has been through! I am so glad he spit out the bubble gum. He is becoming a living legend guitar player!

[@Johaneeeek]

Becoming? He's been a legend for quite some time now

[@DickMittens]

He's been playing Hendrix and SRV masterfully since he was in his teens.

[@davidmorrow9583]

nuclearcarnie agree...good job John!

[@joe22589]

He is nothing less than a great musician - arranging, writing, singing, performing, playing. It is simply not fair to shorten it to "guitar playing". He is the absolutely complete package

[@alexhaggar2657]

@@DickMittens thank you!!!

[@karenholliday2703]

Mayer is so incredibly talented most don't realize. I've watched Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, and Doyle Bramhall all just so very happy John's talent will carry on the blues rock bad ass guitar playing.

In 2022, whenever I hear JM do this song I always hope that he is not feeling bad as he sings about being treated. No one should be treating this man badly at all, anytime. He's a true gift to us all, to be appreciated. I really hope this is not a reflection of reality for him, but rather a song that he enjoyed jamming for pleasure. Love him madly, don't want him really hurting ❣❣❣

It's an old American standard. Been covered by countless artists. Most notably the grateful dead, of course. Check out their version. Especially their version of "not fade away" into "going down the road". It. Is. Sublime.

[@TheAndrewBFlanders]

Boozoo Chavis the guitarist makes the rig sound good, not the other way around... Kinda like just because I have the same clubs as Tiger, I'm still not a PGA TOUR player. He could take your Squier strat, shitty line6 amp and melt both our faces off with it. He can be an acquired taste, a little easy to hate on, but no matter what anyone says about the dude he is a brilliant musician and one of the top 2 or 3 guitarists of his generation.
