this is when i profess my love for john mayer. i picked up “where the light is, john mayer live in los angeles” yesterday. 2 disc live cd and dvd. he kind of goes through this evolution of his career so far on this album. it starts with him and an acoustic guitar, continues with pino palladino and steve jordan covering some of his trio songs and some hendrix, and ends with his more popular full band set. it’s like 3 mini concerts in one.
if you don’t like john mayer as a songwriter, i might understand. but you should go see him live. i think he’s one of the best, if not the best guitar player of my generation. i mean if he can convince pino palladino and steve jordan to waste their time with him, he has to be good right?
not only is the music awesome on this album but the dvd is sweet. it was shot with super 8 film and steve clinch did an amazing job with the photography and editing. you feel like you have a backstage pass and get to see the band transition between each set.
if you like him, you should pick it up. if you don’t, well, pray about it.
