    John Mayer is so good. the other guitarist Zane Carney, who is no slouch, can't hide the expression of how much he is digging and is impressed by the solo at the end. And then you see the white hair sound guy or whatever his job is. And he is just so impressed he can't stop himself from smiling. Well done John. Well done.

      @usnhotcarl 4 ปีที่แล้ว +42

      I think it's because of the surgery he had on his vocal chords - he's no longer able to hit some of the notes on the songs written prior to the surgery. You'll notice that his backup singers now sing the melody line of studio version of the song, while he adds a lower harmony. You're right - it's nice touch.

    This man's solos sing like no other. So many solos are just loud noise without direction. I honestly never understood the point until I heard him solo. His solos are full of soul and actually take you on a journey. Love it. For a real treat, listen to his cover of Jimi Hendrick's All Along the Watchtower. His solo during that song will spoil all the rest. It's downright masterful.

      Yep, it's the subtle things that really make him stand out from other guitarists of his generation. The variation in his licks, the often times exotic scales and modes he uses, his sublime phrasing...I guess what I'm trying to say is that he's one of the all-time greats, but people don't seem to see it. It becomes very obvious in his performances with Keith Urban, who his by no means a bad guitarist. But Mayer is just so much more creative and innovative. Well, haters gonna hate, I guess. We'll probably appreciate him as a blues great a few decades down the road. Till then, spread the word and fight the good fight!

      The lead guitar goes into playing the riff without changing his sound set up, you can see his reaction as the guitar starts to resonate as he steps on the peddle to save it buts too late. Mayer who hears this happening changes his pick pattern to a strumming riff to smoothly adding an extra two bars to the interlude to the next verse. props to the band to keep up.

    Great version of a great song. The band is amazing. Aaron Sterling on drums and the great Sean Hurley on his Fender P-bass laying down an absolutely solid groove over which everyone else just kills. Such a pleasure to see and hear this. Must have been amazing to be there!

  • @korky6898
    @korky6898 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    This performance is pure gold and belongs in a vault!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But let's be honest, the best part of this whole song is when we get to see John's Guitar tech and Sound guy at 7:26 jamming the fuck out.

    john mayer has been one of those few artists
    you can really appreciate how far along and wide his career has been
    he's spent plenty of time in that real blues american roots and tradition,
    all the way up there with pop radio in the 00s
    and landing somewhere in between since then
    its great. this song really captures that

    Goodbye cold, goodbye rain
    Goodbye sorrow, goodbye shame
    I'm headed out west with my headphones on
    Boarded a flight with a song in the back of my soul
    And no one knows
    I just found out her ghost left town
    The Queen of California is stepping down, down
    Hello beauty, hello strange
    Hello wonder, what's your name?
    Looking for the sun that Neil Young hung
    After the gold rush of 1971
    I just found out her ghost left town
    The Queen of California is stepping down, down
    If you see her say, "Hello"
    Just don't tell me, "I told you so"
    Joni wrote Blue in her house by the sea
    I gotta believe there's another color waiting on me
    To set me free
    I just found out her ghost left town
    The Queen of California is stepping down, down
