this has to be the best live act i have ever heard... hands down. no matter what. i still have yet to see why people hate on John Mayer's music. its amazing <3 this is absolutely flawless. :D
I love this song! I like both versions, but I can see John Mayer has way more emotion put into it. Even though it came from Tom Petty, John Mayer has made this song his own here. The guitar in it is amazing!
People try to put into words that which is John Mayer... He's in a league of his own. Free of judgement and immune to hate because humanity can't deny this god in human form.
Tom Petty's version gives the impression of a "bad boy" trying to cover his feelings while explaining what happened, trying to be tough and to cope with himself. John Mayer's version, on the other hand, is basically an all out emotional outpour. Both give the feeling of devastation, but they're simply presented with two different point of views.
Most musicians tend to make weird gestures when they perform (drummers are very notorious for this). I find it's a matter of devoting your concentration to multitasking and not realizing what your facial gestures are doing.
this is amazing, i love his voice, its so awsome, i usually listen to punk and heavy metal, but when i want something soft i always listen to john mayer
Thank you. John Mayer has been my favorite for a while. (Three years) Waiting on the World to change was what started it for me, that song just blew me away.
Your Body is a Wonderland(2002) is when I feel in love with his music. I was 12 and Ive seen him in concert twice since then! Im such a JM junkie! lol
I hope those guitars are atleast 18...

This guy single-handedly made me go from always wanting to learn to play the guitar, to actually going out and buying one and starting to learn.
Words cannot describe how awesome John Mayer is.

I've tried so hard to hate this guy.
But he's too talented, too self-aware, too funny, too smart, too good.
He's won me over, despite my best efforts at loathing him.
He's the guy who'll f*** your girlfriend, then take you out for beers and make you love him for it.

He's playing with Robbie McIntosh (the white guy) and David Ryan Harris (the black guy)...both play guitar with him on his tour.
McIntosh used to play with Paul McCartney on his solo tours. Any time that you hear slide guitar on a John Mayer live track...it's McIntosh.
