Mayer shows his depth of talent and his obvious intelligence and sincerity in his music. The film/concert is a little over 2.5 hours and is definitely a keeper. Perhaps my favorite is the I’ve Got Dreams to Remember intro into Gravity:
Lastly, Mayer brings his entire band on to complete the concert with many hits from Continuum and otherwise. He also performs the great Hendrix anthem Bold as Love with the trio with a very heartfelt introduction, as well as some pretty frank dialogue in the middle about living his life and love - that “gotcha back kind of love” I would like to see other artists begin to produce concert movies like CDs, particularly when the concert is as good as this one.Īfter the acoustic set, John brings on Steve Jordan and Pino Palladino, who are part of the John Mayer Trio to go down and dirty blues and jazz. While I try to make several concerts a year, I just can’t make all the ones I’d like to, but putting up $12.99 for a kick ass, high quality, extended set concert that I can watch on my HDTV? Done.

This movie really gives you the feel of a concert without the hassle of getting good tickets, parking, fighting the crowds and bad sound. There are many great angles including those from in amongst the crowd. The cinematography in this film is awesome.

Mayer captures it beautifully and runs the gamut of emotion from fear to happiness to contentment.Īnother acoustic gem is John’s cover of Tom Petty’s Free Fallin’, when he’s joined by guitarists David Ryan Harris and Robbie McIntosh of The Pretenders, who also has served as a session musician for Sir Paul McCartney. He touches on that every once in a while you’re all together and everyone is there and it’s all just perfect and you just want to stop time and have it last just a while longer. The lyrics really touch on the progression of life and the realization of aging parents and that we are ever closer to there being no buffer between us and death. Perhaps my favorite of this set (and any other) is Stop This Train: I really dig the added whistling, as well. Johnny Boy starts off with an acoustic set that is simply brilliant in its simplicity. For the life of me, I can’t understand why every artist doesn’t produce a live video of a concert like this. Now, being the Mayer lovah that I am, I downloaded the movie on iTunes and I must say, I LOVE IT. Basically, this high-quality DVD was a recording of Mayer’s December 8th, 2007 concert at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. On July 1st, John Mayer released his extended play CD and DVD, Where the Light Is.
