As a guitar player this gives me chills, as a music lover the horns, flawless band leading, harmonies, groove and soul makes me shed a tear, as a long time musician, seeing Mayer being a real band member makes me proud, as an improviser the next level keyboard/vocal solo busts me open, as a man.... who the hell is the petite redhead with the amazing voice and attitude?!

    Your discussion of the band "getting" what John was doing after the 23 minute mark is what Duane Allman And Dickey Betts did every night. They'd jam on songs they knew and when one of them wanted to go somewhere new, the whole band went right with him. When they had someone sit in with them, the band acted as if the new guy had always been with them. It's a skill the best develop from endless playing and jamming. Most of us have work lives, home lives and personal lives...then guitar/music. For those people, the music is first. Makes all the difference.

    Wow, that is one tight group. That is what you get when you put together a group of people that are playing because they love music and not focused on their own ego, fame, or money. They hear the whole groove and not just listening to their own self. You can see how they are all connected to making music and not showing off. Mayer solo was not only just killer by itself, but the way all the others were perfectly involved in the groove made it extremely rare. The ending of Mayer’s solo was mind blowing. The first song I remember ever noticing a band being perfectly synced was the Allman Bros Whipping Post. I get more impressed every time I see/hear Mayer play. I can see that he is connected to the music like you pointed out SRV was it you reaction to his.

    It's so cool to have someone point out some of the theory and understanding. I can say I was born with music in me and feel everything these guys are doing but I cannot contextualize it like you. It's a feeling I've had since childhood to hear the music, the notes and the band. I play too but am just after 20 years starting to learn more theory.

Since then I have owned a Gibson f9 which is bare bones craftsmanship with none of the bells and whistles and it was easily the winner of the two instruments as far as play and sound goes. I just wanted to tell that story because it happened in Memphis and it almost turned me off to their whole line of 'new' instruments.. oh yeah the f9 was a steal at $2500 cash money.

    David Ryan Harris often shows up playing guitar in John's touring bands.

The classic cover of Tom Petty's Free Falling is part of that set.

    You hear David Ryan Harris say, "This is the last Train, the last Train Home" then Johns ears prick up with that being the name of his single this year a year and a bit later. Maybe it was a tip of the hat from David because he had already heard it way back then or John got the idea in that moment. Ahh I love Music, Mayer & Musicians in general. Thank you Michael.

As Sharky is playing, I found myself numerous times just laughing out loud at the mastery of it. You can tell who the musicians are in the audience. Especially the guitar players, lol.It makes me sad, in a way, becuase I have no one to share my love of this and jazz with. Everybody i know is like, "Yawn," lol. I need more good-music-loving people in my life! Sigh.

My friend and I immediately bought all music he had at the merch table. We got lucky to catch him twice on his limited East coast tour a few weeks ago. We did VIP each time. Musician god and all around nice guy with a great vibe too. Enjoyed your reaction!
