John Mayer - Live on Letterman[11/19/09] - 2. Vultures

[sketchplay]

Seeing the audience makes me depressed. Just sayin' man...

[OldskoolGP]

What was this episode? Did John just play for the entire show or did he put on a concert for the audience between commercials?

[AmTheBestDamnThing11]

Omg John Mayer is epic I LOVEEEEEEEE HOW BY THE END OF THE PERFORMANCE THAT EVERYONE WAS GOING CRAZY :) THAT'S HOW TALENTED JOHN IS HE CAN MAKE PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT ARENT A FAN OF HIM BECOME A INSTANT FAN AFTER SEEING HIM PERFORM ^_^

[whouston8]

lol see the audience bobbing thier heads

[metalligeek093]

I love how into his music he is. Shows he plays with true feeling. I'm a male and I'm not afraid to say that I love John Mayer to death

[giuseppesourkiwo]

@cassandre2468 He is Robbie Mcintosh :D

[hildylima]

I love this music.... I love he more...

[cassandre2468]

What is the name of the back up guitarist?

[enjoyflow]

it's truth. The drums sound aren't great, but probably it's the sound mixer guy - "live to television". the drums kit it's good (for what i'm seeing) maybe i'm wrong :) but, like always, this is great!!!

[greendayvirtuoso]

incredible you never know what hes gonna do next in a live performance!!!!!!!

[lazysquirrell2]

jordan's kit sounds real bad for this song. Just my opinion

[swopwhop]

Super hot 2:56!

[55485143]

John Mayer is a great musician!!

[Mad88666]

drums sound like crap...what a shame

[shavethebravedave]

@Mad88666 your opinion.. think it fits very well in the whole sound

[ThatsMyHummingbird]

Wouldn't change anything about his performance.

[rananggana]

the bassist is still david labruyere or who?

[iliachulsky]

@rananggana It's Sean Hurley, wish it was Dela though :(

[rananggana]

@iliachulsky so where is david labruyere?

[iliachulsky]

@rananggana According to wikipedia he is now touring with dave barns

[Hengelothijs]

2:54 (L)

[Dennis6744]

Bit slower than usual, but relaxed as always.

[guitarplayer1994]

Oh my god is Mayer tall

[The12aerosmith]

Great bassline by Sean Hurley..really stepped up, did it well but nobody beats Pino

[TobyEllisSongwriter]

to all the haters that don't like that he has a screen with his lyrics rolling up: better safe than sorry! especially on TV! Whilst a lyric fluff can be endearing, why not give your fans a near perfect performance? This man used to suffer from severe panic attacks: give him some slack!

[TheDVDGamer]

@TobyEllisSongwriter  if its ok for presidents to do it with a speech, then its ok for an artist to do it who has hundreds of songs.

[wendel88]

@TobyEllisSongwriter haha what ? everyone uses those screens nowadays..Paul mccartney even...its normal. no need to talk about panic attacks hahaha

[TobyEllisSongwriter]

@wendel88 ahh, but hyperbole is so tasty! You can scrub that bit from my comment tho and i basically said what you said, i agree with you wholeheartedly :)

[jaymbee00]

Absolutely remarkable guitar playing skills!

[Alhambrattp]

This guy sucks, his voice makes me wanna kill him.

[MJGirl94]

I LOVE HIS STYLE

[stowe2546]

I dig that he has the lyrics scrolling on a screen in front of him. Well played John..

[Braddockmanne]

Good video, good groove, good contest...but played better with the trio Jordan-Palladino. However Cool!

[bgoodrick]

@Braddockmanne I agree with you, Bowery Ballroom comes to mind!

[deathcabforjessie]

i feel like SUCH a creep for saying this, but i love how you can see his defined with his shirt he's wearing.

[MarquisdeSade13]

LAME WHITE BOY BLUES

[deathcabforjessie]

no wayssss

[qba5775]

Generally I preffer SJ over JJJ, he plays like in the good old days for acts like X-pensive Winos and other cool acts.

But in my opinion JJJ fits this song better. Don't know why to fire him and DeLa!

[KeirJames]

meh, Steve recorded the track but suppose JJ does play it better, JJ is better on belief ! and i feel bad for sayin it D:

[FreaquedeMusique]

@KeirJames jj and steve both play on belief where the light is....

overall steve is much better in technique en prob feeling...

[KeirJames]

@FreaquedeMusique i know they do haha :P but you can hardly hear steve :P

[FreaquedeMusique]

@KeirJames yea and its such a shame haha

[KeirJames]

@FreaquedeMusique haha yeh it is :P

[tannerleudy36]

robbie macintosh is simply amazing!

[metiron77]

@tannerleudy36 I agree, he's quite underrated imo, just as David Ryan Harris btw... :)

[tannerleudy36]

oh yeah!

[UniFiedRekorDz]

OMG indescribable....so dirty

[Sonny208208]

those two singers only sing ina few songs, i don' see necessary have them, i prefer jjj jhonson in the drums,

[tannerleudy36]

JJ johnson is amazing! I find steve's playing a little unorthodox but i still love him ! both great players

[20firstcenturykid]

John was way better when i saw him on jan 15th. So much energy and the band was absolutely rocking!

[trance183]

Wish Pino was there. I woulda had no choice but to move real smooth across my cheap wood floor with my cheap cotton socks. :D

[JesusFreakRevolution]

I would have to agree... the excitement of the crowd is rather lackluster considering it's JOHN MAYER!!!

[GARETH9]

Ps I love the moment John and David Ryan Harris have during that jam at the end haha. Precious.

[GARETH9]

Those backup singers are HORRIBLE! But a great performance.

[fredagsedb]

Seriously! Can somebody tell me why people are sitting down yawning at this concert?! Did they only invite people who don't really like John Mayer?! Somebody needs to appreciate.

[dm7grade]

i love the transition from 2:55 to 3:00

[FreddyFilur]

If he quited thoose girls and putted in the saxophone and the trumpet and got pino on the bass it would a GREAT live band, besides i think Steve Jordans is way better than J.J Johnson !

[alyssatheamazing]

Why is no one standing up and rocking out?! They are all middle aged parents sitting down. However they are all working the head bob....John Mayer deserves more than a head bob!

[EdestavMusic]

i wan't to hear this set play Assassin!

[Hengelothijs]

2:54 so funky!!

[rubertmcg]

Steve co-wrote vultures with John and Pino back in the Trio days, and then later produced Vultures as part of Continuum (with Mayer and Jordan as producers) in 06.

[ivanyhy]

i think steve jordan helped to produce vultures actually

[Follow20091]

what happend to j.j johnson?? steves unreal bit like j.js sound was second to none...

[minkuce]

His voice is not in best shape here, though

[chinosingson]

@minkuce probably a bad monitor mix.

[yummyomummy]

I think it is strange to see everyone seated. NOBODY sits when seeing JM perform live! It is almost impossible to do. They must have bee told they had to sit....

[TheDVDGamer]

@yummyomummy see the last song of this set

[seniorgomez666]

hey i'll hand it to john's new bassist sean, soundin real good

[tyfs663]

really wish it was pino though

[alittleinbetween]

@tyfs663 Come on his groove was pretty awesome!!

[bmprebelo]

that's an opinion. i prefer pino any day of the week or Dave (his first bassist). He had groove.

[TheDVDGamer]

Pino's probably gettin paid more on some other tour or recording right now.... I agreee....

[Markssu]

awweesome...
