Just here for my regular dose of John Mayer before I go to bed. Times are crazy but, I hope everyone is doing well out there. . . . Edit: Thank you for all the likes & the lovely responses people. And congrats to all my fellow JM fan-mates, we finally hit 100M on this one! :D
Wait .. Are you seriously comparing him to Ed ? I don't mean to be harsh but, do you realize the wide difference between their voice ranges and guitar skills ?
joost Houterman Welp. Him and Ed are completely different. he has a band. Whereas Sheeran has his voice and a loop pedal with no one else. and their style is completely different apart from a couple of songs.
Yeah right. There is literally *nothing* special about this. *Anyone* can sing this exact version at any crap coffee house. Its talentless and bland. John Mayer's just a dork who girls think is hot, so people buy into him. John Mayer and Jack Johnson are dorks that are a literal dime a dozen and can be found on any college campus. I can go to a coffee house and find a guy who can strum a guitar halfway decent and tell everyone "Oh look how talented this guy is!!!!"
It's December 15, 2021, Kolkata, India, 5:48 a.m. It's been almost 6 years since this song introduced me to John Mayer's music and my whole career on guitar studies changed once and for all. Tired after doing my engineering assignments for the entire night I decided to take a break and suddenly this song popped up in my head and as I came to check it out for almost the 1000th time, the nostalgia hit me like a running truck. The tears I shed through this man's music, the healing this man caused me incomparable to nothing. I hope every single person who's watching this video may find mental satisfaction and peace in their life. Hang in there.
Hello from your South Asian neighbor! It's interesting how common the engineering major and guitar student combo is, in our part of the world at least. Mayer really is one of the biggest inspirations as a guitarist.
pnut3844able not pretentious man, it just might not apply to you. I struggle with putting on a face for everyone to try and show them that I’m “mature for my age” when in reality I’m not and it has cost me enjoyment to just live in the moment. I’m happy that I’m realizing it now. What is pretentious to act like you’re “all that” to impress people and have them think highly of you, you’re lying to yourself and those around you, and you make yourself seem less approachable. ( I’m not talking about u when I say “you”, just talking in general)
@@pnut3844able ... I don't think you know what pretentious means. It's actually much closer to the opposite of that. A pretentious statement would be that people didn't care at first until I change their mind. Not really in the same realm that his comment was... he was just saying that he invested a lot of time and energy into setting things up/creating things for certain people who didn't care. Wasted energy doing things for people who don't appreciate it in the least. That's not pretentious... its closer to self-deprecating in that he's saying he was very naive and got taken advantage of essentially which caused him no shortage of misery just worded in a different way.
After hearing this, he is, at least, famous, for taking something that is/was not broken and breaking it, into many various and sundry bits, in my opinion.
Mayer looks like he's having a blast during this song, his vocals and playing are amazing, backed by not only two great instrumentalists but singers as well. Imagine making a cover of a song more popular than the original, and completely worth it by the way. Not only that, the camera quality is brilliant for 2008 and whoever mixed this deserves a seat in heaven. Blessed to be able to come back to this video again and again. Hope the rest of your day is great, and if it's night where you are, sleep well :)
Yes, just imagine him making a cover song more popular than the original. Because that’s what you’d have to do. His somewhat effeminate, nasal moaning version somehow managed to reach #51 on Billboards chart (have to admit, I’d never even heard it before and he did his cover almost 13 years ago.). So, yeah, super popular. Mr. Pettys version, which just about anybody with the slimmest of links to music and pop culture is more than likely familiar with, on the other hand, made it to #1 in 1989, So, I really have no idea what you’re talking about. Perhaps that was just your considered opinion it was better. That I’ll grant you.
I'd be honored if some John Mayer fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of his early masterpieces CLARITY and LOVE SOON on my YT channel in tribute to the boss. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and peace out.
I agree man. The way he performed this song, is otherworldly. The guitar sequence in the beginning of Shallow by Lady Gaga reminds me of this record for whatever reason.
This dude is by far one of the most talented individuals I history In my opinion that is no exaggeration His vocals , compositions , cadence , presence , playing is in a league of its own
You do know that this is a cover right?? John Mayer is talented we can agree on that... but dont forget the fathers of real guitar music... Eric clapton, mark knopfler, BB-king, the eagles, Steve vai i think that no One from nowadays can match those Guys......
@@p.a.lifewithdrewmsc. Uhhh. It’s not a cover it’s an original song he only played live . And I’m speaking for his compositions both vocally and on guitar. Check out Andy James , Tim Henson , Tosin Abasi I won’t say anything insulting but good God I’d love to .
Not edited people. Myself and 2 of my buds were there. John's on par with Dave Matthews. He does blues now, btw. That's why you haven't heard Mayer on the radio. He didn't sell out.
Joseph Printy City Limits show (same year) is as good as this one. Less magical, but in terms of performance, it's the same. afther 2009 he got a bit tired and then he got the troath problem. Saw him in Oct. 2013 and it was amazing as hell! No false note came out of his mouth, let alone his guitar
***** i think you are right you can kind of tell it's edited. I saw one republic at Jimmy Kimmel, i live a few blocks from where they tape it and they sounded SO BAD live omg. I was very surprised. Very few musicians sound good live the lead singer of Queen etc.
yes!! Not some dumb song like work or call me on my cell phone, but a cover of an amazing song by an amazing artist. also John Mayer can sing amazing, I love his voice, but the way he plays the guitar is mind blowing!!
Started to listen to this song because of a special person in my life🥹♥️...eventhough he's not in my life anymore still listening to this song and really grateful, if he didn't send me this song I don't think I'll ever get a chance to listen to this masterpiece ❤
That's not necessarily true, Bob Dylan's 1967 album contained a song titled, "All Along The Watchtower." Six months later Jimi Hendrix covered "All Along The Watch Tower" in his album "Electric Ladyland," where Hendrix’s version became a Top 20 single in 1968 and was ranked 47th in Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

+Phil McIndoe I was there, it was a cold rainy night in LA. And this whole show had everyone's jaws on the floor. Still the best "listening music" concert i've ever been to. I was a 17 year old pup, who didn't know what he was listening to would one day become pretty damn iconic.
Every artist has the one performance that absolutely stands out and becomes timeless. Not to take away from the many many amazing John Mayer performances but there is an eclectic quality to the acoustic section of this concert that is simply outstanding.
I feel like every passionate musician ever, literally HAS to appreciate this sort of musician-ery. It's literally beyond such a level of artistry, the way he plays, its beauty in its purest form.

@@elidaniel5939 Its not about the number of chords its about the way you use those chords. I have been playing this for last 8 years and i don't think anything more beautiful can be made by just keeping it so easy.
I disagree since the main hook in Tom Petty's was done with a 12string which gives it that distinct tone. (When I play the song, I always use my 12 rather than the usual acoustic) John's voice has a certain quality that Tom couldn't do. (Not to say Tom's original is less that John''s cover, both are brilliant)
i ignorantly thought for a long time that john mayer was a pop douche but after actually looking at his videos and hearing more of his songs i think he is a massive talent in the music world.
I found out he was talented few years ago, he did a song at a festival and dedicated a song to bb king. "Crossroads festival" and the song is "believe" after that I got hooked

It's 1:25 a.m. and I have my finals in 7 hours and 4 minutes. I can't sleep due to anxiety but somehow I came here and listened to this masterpiece and now I have chills all over my body. What a memorable yet scary moment in my life embellished by this song. Thanks John!
I found your comment. Got a presentation and an exam tomorrow, in less than 10 hours. Still have to sleep and i'm still studying. But what am I doing also ? Listening to this !! :D
@@RobbyBoy167yea that’s silly. I went to this show and a number of shows on the 07-10 era and that was when his voice was at his best. Man was the king of falsettos

I have watched this performance so many times; I have forgotten how many. But in my opinion this is the best live performance ever, John’s stage presence was otherworldly, his vocals didn’t overpower the guitars and vice versa it was absolutely frictionless. Like I really couldn’t find one flaw with this. And every time I listen to this it just puts me in this state of euphoria where it just makes me feel like everything is gonna be alright. John Mayer is the epitome of talent
I'd be honored if some John Mayer fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of his early masterpieces CLARITY and LOVE SOON on my YT channel in tribute to the boss. Live acoustic with no digital enhancements. Thanks and peace out.
He has this relatable, down to earth quality to him. He is a world renowned superstar, and yet, every time I listen to him, be it his songs, his interviews, whatever, I feel like this guy is just a more successful version of me. He could have been this friend we all have from high school, talented but too shy to make it. He could have been this brother who guides you through life with words of widsom and neverending support. Very few artists are able to navigate and stay themselves without being eaten alive. Mark Knopfler comes into mind as a bit of the same type for me. I flew all the way from France just to see Mayer live last year, and will also see him in Paris in march. He's become, through his songs, a dear friend to me rather than an artist.
I'd be honored if some John Mayer fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal interpretations of his early compositions CLARITY and LOVE SOON on my YT channel in tribute to the boss. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and peace.
In my opinion this is the finest cover ever done of this classic song. John Mayers voice was made for this song and accompanied by truely talented support. Thank-you 😊
I'm only 16 years old, but i know for a fact that at my wedding, this is the song for father daughter dance. Me and my dad are obsessed with john mayer and this is our favourite.
its true.....men have become soft these days our ancestors will be ashamed! men need to go back to when men were men, ate, drank worked 7 days a week, woman slaved over the kitchen whilst we men made love to them and bore our children then left and returned weeks,months later with a wilderbeast strapped to our backs back to the days were men did not cry, were men were men and woman were woman.
My 3 month old son loves this song and it’s the only song to calm him down when he cries. I used to play this song when he was in the womb and it’s funny how he responds to it. He just totally relaxes! Thanks John Mayer!
Update: he is now 16 months old and still falls asleep To this song. I wish John could see this message I’d love to share some videos of my son asleep to his music
He was my favorite when my mom showed me and when i found out about tom dieing and i cried myself to sleep that night. Nice people like you make life bearable for people. So nice.

Yeah, guys it's not Tom Petty, it's Robbie Mcintosh. He played a lot with Johnny back in the day, he plays a bunch through the live in LA album.
Am I the only one who thinks the quality on this is incredible for being live
It’s John Mayer man.
yo, they made an album out of this live perofmance !
Not to be that guy, but it’s autotuned
It is, really...
It is auto tune but still John mayor is hell lot better and many of the top pop stars

I would die for this!
No please leave the original to Tom petty
Just saw him at Madison Square Garden-He did it again and actually pushed it a little harder with the high vocals. He outdid this one. Epic.
@@Laura-ck3bp do you have any Video? Is it possible to see it somewhere ? Lucky you!!!
This is one of the few live performances that gives me goosebumps no matter how many times I listen to it, simply outstanding performance by all.

Listen to his live in Birmingham when he was just starting. Best live performance I’ve seen in my life.
Same
you need to listen to more live acoustic performances.. they usually slap way harder then studio versions
The back ground singers really did a great job on this one
Can you imagine being in that crowd that day listening to this live like omg
+Phil McIndoe I was there, it was a cold rainy night in LA. And this whole show had everyone's jaws on the floor. Still the best "listening music" concert i've ever been to. I was a 17 year old pup, who didn't know what he was listening to would one day become pretty damn iconic.
+TheJordaddy35 dude not to be mean or anything but you look like you are 40 or 50
+Phil McIndoe with a woman/man you love

I can only imagine
What a banger!!!

Every artist has the one performance that absolutely stands out and becomes timeless. Not to take away from the many many amazing John Mayer performances but there is an eclectic quality to the acoustic section of this concert that is simply outstanding.
very right man .
Mine is - slow dancing In burning room - from this same night live in concert!!! It's BEST ♡
This performance is untouchable. The passion, talent and execution are the best I've heard. Amazing
@@stayimmortal17 so fucking amazing

Oh look at that, I'm in love now
Anna Woods he's one of the best guitar players in the world And i Love this song too ( very special)
Anna Woods it's damn great music
Cant blame you
Anna Woods cool
but he is free falling.
I feel like every passionate musician ever, literally HAS to appreciate this sort of musician-ery. It's literally beyond such a level of artistry, the way he plays, its beauty in its purest form.
+quincywho This doesn't impress me. He's just finger picking. Finger picking can sound really pretty though so I see where you're coming from.
+quincywho LITERALLY
You are so pretty😍
+Tyler Hartley LOL you told him.. i'd like to see him try it
+Timi Olokode why thank you
John Mayer is such a talented musician.
I'd be honored if some John Mayer fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of his early masterpieces CLARITY and QUIET on my YT channel in tribute to the boss. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and peace out.
This isn't his song, it's Tom Petty's song
@@willritter4076 I looked for it ?? What's ur link ?
hi Michelle, TH-cam doesn't like links in comments, but if you YT search my name with John Mayer you should find me easily. Or just tap on my photo there to go straight to my channel. Thanks for asking.

How cool to have an eternal impact on the human race with your art. Thanks John Mayer ❤️
Lyrics
She's a good girl, loves her mamma
Loves Jesus and America too
She's a good girl, crazy bout Elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too, yeah, yeah
It's a long day livin' in Reseda
There's a freeway running through the yard
I'm a bad boy 'cause I don't even miss her
I'm a bad boy for breaking her heart
And I'm free
Free fallin', fallin'
And I'm free
Free fallin', fallin'
All the vampires walkin' through the valley
They move west down Ventura Boulevard
And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows
And the good girls are home with broken hearts
And I'm free
Free fallin', fallin'
Now I'm free
Free fallin', fallin'
Free fallin', now I'm
Free fallin', now I'm
Free fallin', now I'm
Free fallin', now I'm
Free fallin', now I'm
Free fallin', now I'm
Free fallin', now I'm
Free fallin'
I wanna glide down over Mulholland
I wanna write her, her name in the sky
I wanna free fall out into nothin'
Oh, I'm gonna leave this, this world for a while
Now I'm free
Free fallin', fallin'
Now I'm free
Free fallin', fallin'
And I'm free
Free fallin', fallin'
Now I'm free
Free fallin', fallin'
Free fallin', fallin'
Free fallin', fallin'
Free fallin', fallin', yeah, yeah
Thank you very much
We'll see you in a few minutes
I always thought he said I wanna ride her 😂😂😂

The background music is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.
You mean, the music?
I'd be honored if some old-school John Mayer fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of his early masterpieces CLARITY and LOVE SOON on my YT channel in tribute to the boss. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and Happy '020s to all.
Mike Msssé sing this much better.
Seriously this is the best background music you ever heard? It’s only a few chords lmao
@@elidaniel5939 Its not about the number of chords its about the way you use those chords. I have been playing this for last 8 years and i don't think anything more beautiful can be made by just keeping it so easy.
There's something in John's voice that makes this song a bit more amazing than the original.
Bartman954
I'd say guitar more that vocals
I disagree since the main hook in Tom Petty's was done with a 12string which gives it that distinct tone. (When I play the song, I always use my 12 rather than the usual acoustic) John's voice has a certain quality that Tom couldn't do. (Not to say Tom's original is less that John''s cover, both are brilliant)
Bartman954 well said.
It's herpes
Thanks dude
Found this song in lockdown and still listen to it today great performance
What an incredibly respectful crowd
And the good girls are home with broken hearts
Hoes at home you mean. The good girls are wifed up!
y u harsh m8
The good boys too
Thanks for loving my music
May God almighty bless you
Thanks for being my fans

Every song of john is meant to be heard at night.
this is not john's song
❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉missing the tunes great 👍 👌 😢
I physically cant understand how amazing he is at singing
And even Eric Clapton is amazed at his guitar 🎸 proficiency
@John Mayer lol faker. Gtfo
G O D
Don't know why John Mayer's voice hits even closer to the heart at night time. I always come back to this amazing performance
So true ;)
Same
Hahah!! Right on.
So true!
Hi sis
i ignorantly thought for a long time that john mayer was a pop douche but after actually looking at his videos and hearing more of his songs i think he is a massive talent in the music world.
Same. He is insanely talented.
Crazy Horse
I was same
Then I heard a song on radio was gobsmacked when I heard his name
Exactly how I felt once too. Now I'm so glad I gave him a second listen one fateful day.
I found out he was talented few years ago, he did a song at a festival and dedicated a song to bb king. "Crossroads festival" and the song is "believe" after that I got hooked
POP ROCK! and most of his guitar playing is either funk or blues
*My husband was abused physically and had cancer as a child, when i met him he stuttered so bad he could barely state his name. Today he speaks clearly, is cancer free, and a great father to both our children. The victory belongs to Jesus!!❤❤❤HES ALL I NEED!!!✝✝✝✝✝✝🙏🙏🙏*
It's 1:25 a.m. and I have my finals in 7 hours and 4 minutes. I can't sleep due to anxiety but somehow I came here and listened to this masterpiece and now I have chills all over my body. What a memorable yet scary moment in my life embellished by this song. Thanks John!
Living Life did you pass the exam?
Ye how dya go
I found your comment. Got a presentation and an exam tomorrow, in less than 10 hours. Still have to sleep and i'm still studying. But what am I doing also ? Listening to this !! :D
You´re welcome hahaha
Did u pass ur finals?
Credit to the fellow guitarists tho. This is a beautiful symphony
Jacob Hellelund Exactly. Quite overlooked that part.
Yeah.. robbie mcintosh with his sweet little slide licks and David Ryan Harris with his beautiful voice to back up John Mayer. ☺️👍🏼
It’s hard for a cover to beat the original, but this is done beautifully, his vocals are SO GOOD
No cover can ever beat Tom Petty’s masterpieces. Ever.
And this cover beat the original
@@sandrokokhreidze8525 ha that’s funny
Love this cover 100x more than the original
@@Saviol1509 Disagree
Whoever got to see this live, I envy the hell out of you. You witnessed a masterpiece before your own eyes.
Voofdoochile
Favorite song. Mayer not only did this classic justice, he made it his own.
DEAR JOHN Mayer couldn’t have picked a more perfect song😛😛😛

I want to apologise to this man for not listening to any of his songs any time soon. Such a beautiful voice. At 3:15👌🏾
TH-cam should have a section called "Perfection". This video should be at the top.
Tom Petty's version, yes. But this? This I hot garbage 😂
Clinton Huebert one of the dumbest comments I ever heard in my life, and I had to listen to a lot of bullshit in my life
His voice is everything...
Saw him in Pittsburgh last night and he played this during his acoustic set… it was absolutely unbelievable live. What a concert and what a guitarist.
Was there. Unforgettable night
Lucky butt. I lucked and got in backstage in a Tulsa concert a couple days ago. I just made a wrong turn.,😁
funny that there are still people who believed that this was "autotuned"
Hello fans thanks for supporting my music carrier this is my private account you can chat me privately
@@RobbyBoy167yea that’s silly. I went to this show and a number of shows on the 07-10 era and that was when his voice was at his best. Man was the king of falsettos
Nov 2024 never give up…love this guy. Anyone else?
I’ve been taking in this song like vitamins; at least once a day
ramesh anand haha this was good to read!! 😂🤣

same lol
I have watched this performance so many times; I have forgotten how many. But in my opinion this is the best live performance ever, John’s stage presence was otherworldly, his vocals didn’t overpower the guitars and vice versa it was absolutely frictionless. Like I really couldn’t find one flaw with this. And every time I listen to this it just puts me in this state of euphoria where it just makes me feel like everything is gonna be alright. John Mayer is the epitome of talent
I love it
There's just something about the way he sings this. You can tell he's just feeling it.
Now watch the Axl Rose/Tom Petty performance
3:26 that “Fallin” is killer
Man , listening this in Loop 🥰🥰I just can’t stop watching haha
Arguably the greatest cover of all time.
Grew up on Tom Petty and I love this cover. This is a master class in how you do a cover. Familiar yet entirely new at the same time.
No argument.
Is all along the watchtower cover by Jimi Hendrix of Bob Dylan song
The smoothness of its delivery sounds like it's a studio version not live. Best live performances john has IMO
BRANDON so much so this became the album version.
I'd be honored if some John Mayer fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of his early masterpieces CLARITY and LOVE SOON on my YT channel in tribute to the boss. Live acoustic with no digital enhancements. Thanks and peace out.
John Mayer is like a dose of the best medicine that cures any illness.
The original is a masterpiece. There have been other covers. But this one, this one is my favorite, thanks John
tom petty ?
Anyone else still here in 2020 and still watches it every day of there life or just me
Forever on my TH-cam homepage
Coleman King yess forever
still here in 2020 :)
Meeeeee 😘😘😘😘😍😍😍😍
wow it's not just me that's great... and like I got a jean jacket that says freefallin by John Mayer but I'm the only one who cares heh
I was lucky enough to see both the original artist play this live and then Mayer years later.
Awesome
That’s pretty dope, I’ve met Tom Petty and John Mayer two different occasions. Miss you Tom.
Wow. Nice experience I love this song this is my favorite version. How are you Mexicansage ?
Hello beautiful how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
One of the few talented musicians left today
I know John Mayer personally. He is one of the nicest, most genuine people I know. Extremely smart, articulate and genuine.
He has this relatable, down to earth quality to him. He is a world renowned superstar, and yet, every time I listen to him, be it his songs, his interviews, whatever, I feel like this guy is just a more successful version of me. He could have been this friend we all have from high school, talented but too shy to make it. He could have been this brother who guides you through life with words of widsom and neverending support.
Very few artists are able to navigate and stay themselves without being eaten alive. Mark Knopfler comes into mind as a bit of the same type for me.
I flew all the way from France just to see Mayer live last year, and will also see him in Paris in march. He's become, through his songs, a dear friend to me rather than an artist.
How do you know him may i ask?
Watching on October 2, 2017... RIP Tom Petty, and thank you Mr. Mayer for breathing new life into this song.
*Are you sure about that*
John Mayer sees colors when he plays. So beautiful. :)
I'd be honored if some John Mayer fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal interpretations of his early compositions CLARITY and LOVE SOON on my YT channel in tribute to the boss. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and peace.
John Mayer's voice is the only thing that can save my lonely ass from depression
In my opinion this is the finest cover ever done of this classic song.
John Mayers voice was made for this song and accompanied by truely talented support.
Thank-you 😊
I'm only 16 years old, but i know for a fact that at my wedding, this is the song for father daughter dance. Me and my dad are obsessed with john mayer and this is our favourite.
Cute
@Eve Tyler You should listen to Boyce Avenue's cover of this before you get married =)
Hello fans thanks for supporting my music carrier this is my private account you can chat me privately
You can't studio record this. It wouldn't sound right. This version, this moment, this place. It's absolute perfection that you just can't duplicate.
Hi appreciate your love and support thanks for been a true fan . Reply me here .
This entire performance “where the light is” is still killer from start to finish
Soul connections can’t be denied my beautiful friend. I thank GOD FOR YOU!😘😘💕
If this is actually his natural voice with no effects I think this is the best male vocal performance I’ve ever heard
True 💯❣️

its true.....men have become soft these days our ancestors will be ashamed! men need to go back to when men were men, ate, drank worked 7 days a week, woman slaved over the kitchen whilst we men made love to them and bore our children then left and returned weeks,months later with a wilderbeast strapped to our backs back to the days were men did not cry, were men were men and woman were woman.
+Joey Deep
I think we are all crying, listening to this rubbish
Everything about this is beautiful and I've probably watched/listened to this video more times than I should admit lol.
hehehe
Same😍
Liz Schultz so true, one of the great song written, and that puts every doubtful part (so true to me) at the peaceful place
Ugh I just released ur a wamen. Still im a man of my word
His channel 14 on Sirius Life with John Mayer is awesome. I'm a LIFEr
My 3 month old son loves this song and it’s the only song to calm him down when he cries.
I used to play this song when he was in the womb and it’s funny how he responds to it. He just totally relaxes!
Thanks John Mayer!
so cute
Awesome
That is very wholesome 😊
