And it's so much about what he isn't playing. He is taking up just the right amount of space in the song, his dynamics when he needs to take a back seat during the singing, and the embellishments between the words. The call response is like another voice singing it as a duet.
@@cordia One of the reasons why John has remained a favourite guitarist of mine. Very rarely is he trying to showing you everything he is capable of doing and shredding. He is catering to the song. Giving the song whatever it needs to be the best it can be. Not trying to feed his guitarist god ego like some guitarists
I was there! First concert in over 40 years! The entire thing was magical. Of course the music was sublime. Ed’s energy and showmanship was breathtaking! I was amazed at the quality of the production. The digital art added so much. This was a bucket-list item for me, since I’ve been a huge fan of Ed’s for years! My daughter gave me the tickets for my 64th birthday. Best birthday ever!
That's awesome man!!! Need to start going to more concerts.....music is life and makes me happy!! I'm 67 and my wife and I have been to almost 30 concerts in the last five years. We even went to Taylor Swift in Tampa it was awesome!!
John Mayer is one of the greatest guitarists of our generation. Never thought those words would ever be uttered from my mouth, but his pursuit of numerous styles along with pairing up with the Grateful Dead has truly made him one of the greats. Not Hendrix or Santana-esque just yet, but getting closer!
I love watching John and Ed play together. You can tell Ed is a legitimate John Mayer fan. The way he smiles and stares at John. Yet, at the same time. The performer in him still wants to entertain the hell out of the crowd. So you get these amazing back and forth with their singing and playing. It really creates an amazing show. The chemistry is next level when you can trust the other guy not to f*** it up.
You can really tell that they're good friends who are having a lotta fun performing together (you can even see Ed's face at John's licks and John overplaying a little cause he's just having fun). Honestly such a magical moment between two talented musicians
Bruh where does John not get enough praise😂. Selling out world tours in big stadiums. Touring with Grateful Dead.. jammed with all the greats like BB King. Even Clapton says he's a phenomenal guitarist. I don't know a guitarist from these days that's more praised than John Mayer.
I think a lot of average people assume he's just a pop star, but most musicians know he's got serious chops. Anyone that respects music theory knows he's legit.
@@7arzan yeah nobody can deny that but he is also in the top10guitarists of the history for his skills and his influence in the pop rock and blues music of nowadays.
I had a friend there, and John was a last minute replacement that worked out beautifully. The higher level seats are still available at upcoming shows. They're pretty affordable, if you can get to one of the stadiums. He's doing smaller auditoriums on Friday nights followed by stadium shows the following night in the same city throughout the summer 😄
@@hellobethel7464 I wish I could. I live halfway around the globe from the US so that’s a bit tricky 🥲 Wish he would announce an Asian Mathematics tour.
Thank you for recording and posting this video. Love that JM stepped in for his friend even though he's in the middle of a hectic tour himself. Pure class! And the guitar work was exquisite here. ⚡⚡⚡
Ed Sheeran should give John Mayer another 8 bar for his solo. I can feel John hasn’t build up this solo yet and wanted to go with another 8 but got no chance. 😅
Uauuuuuuuuuu. Fantástic. Ed cheeran and John mayers. Fantástic. Very Very fantástic. Music beautiful. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👍👍👍👍👍👍
Oh I love how my two favorites are in one frame.... what a concert it must have been. Getting the vibe even from the video ...can't imagine how good it must be to witness it live. I wish John also revives his career once again.❤👏🙏
Revives? He's still going very strong. He may not have radio hits anymore but the dude has a massive fanbase. He's about to jump back into a sold out arena shows tour by himself. 20k sell outs, I think he's still pretty relevant. Sob Rock, his most recent album is still genius. He has reached legend level. He ain't going anywhere.
@@polyphony72 I'm sure he still is doing great but a talent such as his should be encouraged and genuinely enjoyed by masses instead of the negativity that surrounded him at the peak of his career.... he had so much going on some few yrs ago. Wish he return back to topping charts once again.❤️🙏
I was there, too! You are much closer than I was. Thanks for sharing this! My husband is a John M fan and was very glad he stepped up to help out here! Great collaboration. The guitar work is extraordinary! And the singing is always top notch from Ed ❤
I was also there, and like the other poster, you were much closer than I was! I am a bigger John Mayer fan than Ed Sheeran. Regrettably, didn't find out that John Mayer was opening until we were driving up from NY, and didn't arrive on time to see him open. 😞 Was happy to see him for just this little cameo though.
Such a beautiful performance! I strive to be like current day John, not caring what others think, just living in the moment and adding all that necessary JM spice! You can also tell that John and Ed have a very deep and meaningful friendship and to share it with the world, that's something special!
A lot of people don’t know that Mayer played guitar uncredited on Ed’s second album ‘divide’ on a track called how would you feel. Eric Clapton also appeared on that album under a pseudonym. All 3 of them played guitar on eachothers albums under false names
Epic’ just epic. with John’s silver sky sound just awesome. And with that little blues touch added a new flavour into this most loved song frm Ed. Please make it studio version.
Yeah, I think he can basically show up for any artistic event live and solo guitar, sing backup vocals and do whatever necessary... He will literally elevate any event he's at whenever he wants.
This is FANTASTIC. THANK YOU FOR SHARING IT. I HAVE LOVED ED SHEERAN FOR A LONG, LONG TIME, AND TO SEE HIM INTETACT SO GENUINELY WITH OTHER FAMOUS ARTISTS, SAYS A LOT ABOUT HIM. ❤
Thanks for recording and sharing this! Awesome performance. That part at 7:06 when the crowd screams and John immediately reacts because it's too loud even in his in-ears... lol
Definitely agree. Hes versatile AF. Just recently saw him with dead and company at the sphere in Las Vegas. Was incredible. Seen him with John Mayer trio….solo acoustic.,..and with his more recent band. Always incredible show.
Ed really brought one of the most talented guitarists of all time along to sing his 'infamous' song to date ever, just to prove the case is ridiculous lol

Man Ed's lead guitarist is soo good. He should have his own solo career
Fr!
I had the same impression. So much potential he could be a star one day!
He should also have a trio and maybe become part of a band too
Are u kidding??..who the hell is ED before John Mayer
@@Iyam565 I think they're all kidding.. lol. John Mayer is a legend, Ed Sheeran is not (yet).
Ed should make an official performance of this version featuring the john mayer guitar licks! It's just soo goood!
YESSS
up
Yes, pleeeeeease!!!
yes !!
You can tell Ed is so jazzed when John shreds. Very cool to see.
aren't we all?
I see what you did there.
@@jesusisking3814 Sorry bro. I believe in a universal energy and interconnected nature. Preaching to the wrong dude.
@@jesusisking3814 Amen 🙏
John can sure play that guitar!!

@@GroovyGranny2233 You will love it! Happy Birthday.

@@BlasterJunosEd Sheeran’s melodies are a pentatonic player’s dream.
John doesn’t get near enough praise for how great of a guitarist he is.

@@7arzan yeah nobody can deny that but he is also in the top10guitarists of the history for his skills and his influence in the pop rock and blues music of nowadays.
John has insane talent. Around 2:30 he plays rhythm guitar licks, then he jumps into lead and then solo as necessary. Completely vibing.
That John guy is good! Hope to see him make it big one day!
uh haha John Mayer as big or bigger
Haha love the John Mayer intro of the new light”reference, where JM makes a dig at himself making it big some day🙏🏽🤣
@@robbielynmccrary872haha the guy was joking but course he isn't bigger than Ed sheeran what you talking about 😂
@@Jay-lr3mehe is and always has been bigger than Ed. Come on now -_-
@@Jay-lr3mebigger in fame? not. Fame is for commercials and low talented. Bigger in music level? John is 5km above.
5:30 I just love Ed's reaction to John letting it rip haha
I love Ed's face, watching John take his music and run with it... fantastic!
omg. their harmony gets better and better :)))
See that at the end, the genuine thank you john said to ed? The man is such a gem, always will be.
Love John's t-shirt!
@@MsWarriordiva I know!
If you don’t know this song, you’re at the wrong concert. Love it!!!:)
Seeing John step into a stadium and shred with that sweet sweet guitar tone, just incredible. And Ed is such a great vocalist and showman.
I love how happy Ed seems while he is touring.....after such a rough 2022. This makes my heart happy.
John Mayer is the man
Holding that last note out to sustain while he hugged Ed 🤌 MUSICIAN
Their voices are a unique overlapping. Such different voices but it works somehow. Two artists that sound even better live.
Seems like he’s singing that lower harmony
I have to disagree. They don't make the nicest tone together at the same time I really like both guys but John's voice is really uniquely low
@@prince-xw3ip dont get me wrong its definitely odd, but i like it. Maybe because i like both artists so much
@@prince-xw3ip it put me in mind of when I think I’m singing along to a song in the car, then when i play it on guitar and sing I’m lower 😂
John always accompanies so tastefully.
Ed says to John “let it rip”! Who doesn’t love Ed!
Two of the greatest talents of our time. Looks like Pure joy at that concert.
This!
I was at that concert…absolutely AMAZING and one of the best concerts I’ve ever gone to
Seeing ed giggle at John’s skill is so wholesome
John shredding the guitar is just 😍 And I wish I can attend one of Ed’s concerts, he’s just a magnificent performer!

The most beautiful thing about this is that they are BOTH having Fun! Talented musicians realize this with each other,,they "appreciate" one another
Thank you for recording and posting this video. Love that JM stepped in for his friend even though he's in the middle of a hectic tour himself. Pure class! And the guitar work was exquisite here. ⚡⚡⚡
john is just to good man
I'm thinking about...Ed popping in at Mayer's concert in Atl in October!!
Ed Sheeran should give John Mayer another 8 bar for his solo. I can feel John hasn’t build up this solo yet and wanted to go with another 8 but got no chance. 😅
10000%
That last bend really set him up for a sweet ending to the solo, he knew exactly where he was going.. 8 bars more could've been so gooood haha
This was best part of concert. I was so surprised and yelled whatttt! I love this!!! Thx for taping this close. I even got his shirt design.
Love john’s face when he plays ❤
Sometimes he looks like he's having the greatest sex of his whole life!
And I enjoy that!
Uauuuuuuuuuu.
Fantástic.
Ed cheeran and John mayers.
Fantástic.
Very Very fantástic.
Music beautiful.

God johns noodling in the back really changes the song so much, takes it to another level! I’d love to hear a sheeran album produced with Mayer
This is wonderful. Ed plus John. What a great duo singing a great song❤❤❤❤
I love how their Boston accent comes through. Ed tells them to "Say YEAH" at 6:05 and because of the accent it sounds like "YAHHHH".
John is just such a legend with that guitar it's insane.
Oh I love how my two favorites are in one frame.... what a concert it must have been. Getting the vibe even from the video ...can't imagine how good it must be to witness it live. I wish John also revives his career once again.❤👏🙏

This is one concert that would be worth the money for sure.
Looooove John swoooning music comes out of his pores and through his guitar doesn’t get better than that man. So sexy geeez

Great tone John. It must have been an enjoyable gig
Why can’t I be there. 64yr old still can feel the beat. My goodness so beautiful these two
Awesome! I love John Mayer!!!
Epic’ just epic. with John’s silver sky sound just awesome. And with that little blues touch added a new flavour into this most loved song frm Ed. Please make it studio version.
Ed Sheeran and John Mayer performing together my all time favorite song from Ed Sheeran.There is nothing better than this . I hope both will collab .
John’s guitar solo! Is everything
I like John’s blues rifts the best. ❤
John Mayer can flat out slay the guitar. Up there with the very best.
Truth!
John who is on final tour with the Dead had a night off. The guy is a monster on guitar and a good guy.
Such a stunning collaboration 😊😊
Yes, to everything about this!
2 Phenomenal Performers!!
They are so naturally gifted, no lip syncing here. It would be great if they recorded an album together❤🎶🎸🎶
John Mayer shreds sick... legend
I was there. It was amazing!! Great video. Thanks for sharing. Hard to record with Ed running all over the place. 🩵🩵
2 concerts in one, a bonus of greats singing their best!
favourite version of this.
John Mayer just blows my mind. I saw him in Boulder the night after this.
Ah! Saw Ed in May and seeing John in October. What an absolute dream moment.
I WAS THERE AND IT WAS SO GOOD
both rockin their g-shocks 🤘🏻
Just pure joy from both performers!
I absolutely need them to release this version as a recording
Having john mayer as a backup vocalist is crazy
Yeah, I think he can basically show up for any artistic event live and solo guitar, sing backup vocals and do whatever necessary... He will literally elevate any event he's at whenever he wants.
he showed up cause khalid couldnt
John Mayer takes this formulaic four chord song (no offense Ed) and turns it into a brilliant bluesy melody. Love it.
I was there and still cannot believe this happened.
john is so freaking good
Wow…absolutely gorgeous performance…
Love this, Ed's concerts are always fantastic. One day I hope. ❤
An incredible performance from two of the world's remarkable artist
❤Beautiful ❤
I love John He can play the strings and wale it out!
John always playing with guitars, Fabulous man, His voice coming out through Guitar, 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Such a beautiful song
Спасибо,Эд,за то, что ты есть❤❤❤
The perfect accompaniment to ed fr👏🏻
The ten year anniversary of this song is coming ….all I’m saying this version recorded will be a hit all over again!
God damn, John is so fine. 🔥 😊
This is FANTASTIC. THANK YOU FOR SHARING IT. I HAVE LOVED ED SHEERAN FOR A LONG, LONG TIME, AND TO SEE HIM INTETACT SO GENUINELY WITH OTHER FAMOUS ARTISTS, SAYS A LOT ABOUT HIM. ❤
cool matching watches too. G-Shock!
Two legends💙

What a bonus having them both on stage together. Thanks for the post😊
The. Best. Love more than I can say.
Great music 🎶🎶🎶🎶♥️♥️♥️
Love this!!!
John Mayer is the greatest guitarist of our time. Idgaf what your opinion is. That statement is facts.
he is in the top 10 of the history too
Definitely agree.
Hes versatile AF. Just recently saw him with dead and company at the sphere in Las Vegas. Was incredible. Seen him with John Mayer trio….solo acoustic.,..and with his more recent band. Always incredible show.
Thankyou Edward and John I really do appreciate it
2 awesome talented guitar players,nice to see enjoying the two together performing and take eachother to another level🎸👌🏻✌💟
Calling Ed a "talented guitar player" in the same context as JM is a crime! 😂
Ed really brought one of the most talented guitarists of all time along to sing his 'infamous' song to date ever, just to prove the case is ridiculous lol
Wow 🔥🔥Double fire in concert. A m a z i n g.
It always makes my day I ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏 you even more. 👏👏👏 Ed and John keep on YAH YAH YAH
Love the pair!!!!
You two sound, fantabulas! Beautiful
Fantastic looking group/crowd! Beautiful
LOVE LOVE LOVE< Saw John's solo tour in Toronto in March, and Ed's tour in Toronto this past June, so great to see two greats together.
Thanks for sharing this special moment with us may 𝘼𝙇𝙔𝙐𝙃𝘼𝙐𝙐𝙃𝘼 The Heavenly Father Keep you always💕
This is so wholesome and sounds amazing. A new version with the licks would be insane!!!
