@@jcaylor3312 this year marks the last tour together w/ the dead and mayer so the trio tour is a definite future possibility cuz once that's over, johnny gon' wanna play live & I'm sure it's gonna be hard to go back to playing solo after you are basically the modern day Jerry Garcia muse
I’ve been waiting for this for years. The trio is where he shines. That doesn’t mean he can’t play stuff other than the blues. It’s just that the trio is my favorite.
it’s more of an issue with the way he plays now… it’s not an equipment issue. he plays slower and with less intensity. he never takes it to that next level with his soloing like he used to. his hands often look fatigued, just an observation.
Monterey strat with the fender strap is so 2007 and I'm here for it. Kenny Wayne Shepherd showed his on rig rundown and gave Mayer props for also playing the priceless artifact.
Mayer played like butter on the Monterey Strat. The PRS seemed to fight him a few times. Regardless, very grateful to hear one of the best Trio’s in history play again. Thanks for the upload!
Depends on the genre, the Silver Sky is a very versatile guitar (its pickups are based on a vintage 64 Strat) But for the trio performances, the monterey has its own charm
My grandfather told my mom, years and years ago, when John Mayer first came into the light, that John was going to be huge. Here we are in 2023 and I think this is about as good as it gets folks. I hope to see him live someday like my mom did in Los Angeles for the continuum album.
I was there. I got last minute tickets. Worth every penny. I've been to many concerts but I've never felt a bigger wall of sound come my way than when Pino and Steve joined in on Who Did You Think I Was. Also John's tone was MASSIVE both on the beautiful Silver Sky and the Monterey Strat. Incredible performance and a night I will remember for the rest of my life.
I was there - flew from London for it - and I still feel like it was a dream. Best live versions of these songs I’ve heard, and the night had incredible energy. And what a great charity cause too - GLWD is a unique organisation delivering free medically tailored meals to people who need them.
I suspect he’ll eventually go back to his roots. The FENDER STRAT. Which we all know is his true love. PAUL. You’re just a business venture. And that’s it. Yea Paul that’s all it is. I bet if Fender asked him back he’d leave streak marks from Paul’s factory.
John without a doubt is one of the best live guitar players to ever do it, but when he sings it goes to a another level and the master level of complexity in his guitar and song writing its mind blowing how easy he makes looks. I live in Vegas trust me he is best live show I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen more than many.😊
l agree with you, indeed John Mayer is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style, he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days..
1000% and he has totally become a better guitar player from it. He was amazing before, but a lot of his electric solos were blues penatonics. Now he's throwing in all kinds of stuff.
He definitely wanted to end the song around 17:57 but Steve Jordan didn’t pick up on that cue so he had to just seamlessly continue soloing and end and try ending again at 18:15. Such a pro! That’s the beauty of live music.
John sounds incredible here! I love the trio. I hope he puts out another CD with the trio and I want to see a tour doing that. Love his take on Hendrix material!

No slight against his PRS but for me his sound had so much more color when he picked up the Strat. One thing about Mayer that separates him from some other elite players is the way he builds leads, they are very rhythmic and musical. Great stuff.
The PRS is a deeper sound. This makes me wonder, Mayer is 45 years old now. Ears change as you age, especially if you stand in front of a monitor half of your life. Gotta think this might play a part going for a PRS sound, the musicians ear has changed. Just my two cents. I'm more excited to watch him tour with the Wolf replica this summer with the dead. That guitar has soul.
I was only pointing out that" I "had not heard him sing these. I gave him accolades .You really didn't need to say anything. I love "Where the light is"@@landoctor94

The groove that they launch into at 12:27 is utterly nasty, each band member is literally perfect. Steve and Pino holding down that rhythm section so effortlessly
The comment i was looking for! No one talks about his extraordinary ability to do all sorts of fingerpicking stuff while storing a pick in his hand, that he seamlessly brings up and puts away as needed.

Thank you 🎸💫
Thanks for your attention ...OK
Not many know that Pino Palladino’s evil twin brother “Dino” is also a monster bassist…
😂
shit i wanna smack the ol man

Haha someone in the crowd shouted out “Dino!” before Murray said his name like that. Not sure if he was playing it off like that lol.
@@Jake-sj4mz could also be a handwritten cue card with large loops on the P to make it look like a D… we’ll never know.

They’ll be playing at the 2023 Eric Clapton crossroads festival
I’d pay top dollar for tickets idgaf
idk man, steve jordan is a full time drummer for The Rolling Stones now
Anyone else notice how much fun he looks like he’s having? John Mayer trio needs to tour again!!!
I’ve been waiting for this for years. The trio is where he shines. That doesn’t mean he can’t play stuff other than the blues. It’s just that the trio is my favorite.
I think this is John’s favorite project. He loves playing with Steve and “Dino” lol
I'm ready!
Its going to be tricky, as the drummer, Steve Jordan, is a full-time drummer for The Rolling Stones now
I'd love to see the Trio play and tour again. This is so awesome!!
i'm just happy to see john playing a strat in 2023
So funny hearing Steve come in like “No, that is not the tempo. THIS is the tempo. Catch up, John”
Haha, noticed that too. 😂
Yep
I was looking for this comment lmao
Hahaha yea
"COME ON FELLAS - I ain't doing overtime for no charity show."
Steve Jordan, 2023
This is John doing what he's best at.
holy shit, that last solo with the monterey strat... It's just THAT SOUND!! He still got it and never lost it.
We were blessed fellas, that's an old school John Mayer guitar face at 5:30
Guy is a master. He’s getting better every year. I’ve never seen him have this much fun playing guitar. I want more trio stuff.

the wait until tomorrow solo was the best one i’ve seen from him
Agreed. It blew me away. He was really feeling himself tonight.
His version from NYE at The Joint is way better.

Hey now It looks like a Paul Reed Smith guitar,could be the John Mayer Silver Sky model FYI peace ☮
Oh shit now I see the Stratocaster!!
1997/98
Hendrix Redux
Isn’t the the prs silver sky?
It looks and feels like John has secretly been waiting for the trio to make a comeback. 🙏
(and so have we)
Mayer played like butter on the Monterey Strat. The PRS seemed to fight him a few times. Regardless, very grateful to hear one of the best Trio’s in history play again. Thanks for the upload!
Agree. Sounds like he wants to speed it up but it won’t do it
This just shows no matter how good the silver sky is it just cant beat the sound of that strat.
Depends on the genre, the Silver Sky is a very versatile guitar (its pickups are based on a vintage 64 Strat)
But for the trio performances, the monterey has its own charm
He's an amazing player and all 3 songs sounded absolutely great, that said...the Fender sounded especially awesome.
I was starting to love that Silver Sky tone but then the Strat came out and reminded me…
His silver sky tone on this one sounds too gritty. Im sure he can easily tweak and replicate the strat tho. Must be a deliberate thing.
The way he plays rhythm and lead parts AT THE SAME TIME is incredible. JM3 is where he really shines.
Yes. I love the trio.
Yes - that is something he learned from Hendrix and Vaughan.
not to mention doing the lead vocals 🙂
And sing on top of that
Like Hendrix, right?
John's solo during "Wait.." was epic, but on the second listen pay attention to Pino's bass work...Goddam, that's amazing.
Pino is always cooking in this trio. On fire.
Fucking absurd

Man it's so good to see The Trio back together.
The best Mayer lineup ever. Those guys are modern era CREAM
Absolutely!!
John. Mayer. Trio. Fucking magic!! These guys need to go on the road 💣 Best. Band. Ever.
That solo of wait until tomorrow was mind blowing🤯🔥
Man he has not aged one single day. So good to have the Trio back. Hopefully we won't have to wait another 6 years!
Yeah, he has ))))))
They are playing the crossroads festival this year as well!
I just witnessed pure musicanship and truly feeling the music. That was magical.
I was there - flew from London for it - and I still feel like it was a dream. Best live versions of these songs I’ve heard, and the night had incredible energy. And what a great charity cause too - GLWD is a unique organisation delivering free medically tailored meals to people who need them.
I love this version of John Mayer!
John might be a PRS guy nowadays, but he always has and always will sound best with a strat
Sounds like a lot of bias and nostalgia to me
Seeing him bust out the Strat after so long, especially the Monterey Strat for wait until tomorrow brought a high smile to my face
I suspect he’ll eventually go back to his roots. The FENDER STRAT. Which we all know is his true love. PAUL. You’re just a business venture. And that’s it. Yea Paul that’s all it is. I bet if Fender asked him back he’d leave streak marks from Paul’s factory.
Oh look a Fender amp. Hmm 🤔
@@Utubewrk123 he willingly left Fender because they couldn't match his vision, it's not just a "business venture".
that Dino Paladino is one heck of a bassist!
that Wait Until Tomorrow solo was EXPLOSIVE! almost felt like some Dead inspired runs towards the very beginning of it. absolutely killer
MORE of this Johnny! MORE BLUES.... MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE ....and more
John is growing not just musically. I can tell by his posts that he is on a huge rise consciously. Keep rising John. We are loving you more each year.

I feel like playing with the dead has really influenced his choice of notes in his solos now and I absolutely love it
I feel like you are 100% correct, Liam.

Whenever he starts the show saying “good evening”, you instantly know it’s gonna be great.
John sounds incredible here! I love the trio. I hope he puts out another CD with the trio and I want to see a tour doing that. Love his take on Hendrix material!
Listen to the search for everything. It is essentially a JMT record as only one song doesn’t have them all together.
@@burningblueskyband I will definitely check that out!

No slight against his PRS but for me his sound had so much more color when he picked up the Strat. One thing about Mayer that separates him from some other elite players is the way he builds leads, they are very rhythmic and musical. Great stuff.
Spot on, the black Strat had way more bite and soul.
The PRS is a deeper sound. This makes me wonder, Mayer is 45 years old now. Ears change as you age, especially if you stand in front of a monitor half of your life. Gotta think this might play a part going for a PRS sound, the musicians ear has changed. Just my two cents. I'm more excited to watch him tour with the Wolf replica this summer with the dead.

I think he's probs more comfy holding the prs neck as its his custom design unlike the fender srv neck. At least his playing hasn't lost its touch
I think he picked up the strat (with the Hendrix paint from Woodstock, I think) because he was playing a Hendrix song.
not even close - so much richer sound from the strat
That Vultures was SMOOTH
I just can't get enough of this style is perfect for his voice
4:12 Who Did You Think I Was
8:52 Vultures
14:41 Wait Until Tomorrow
Thanks!
big thanks 🙏
Johns firmly in Prince territory now. Him and the guitar are one 🙌🏻
Great googly-moogly!!!! G*d damn they need to tour again!
Really wish John boy could bring this energy to dead and co.
He does
Thanks for upload. Great to see them playing together again. John never disappoints
Love Dino
Felt a bit rushed to me, but dang it’s so good to see the Trio playing live again. Count me among the many that would love to see them tour again 🤘
yup they shoulda warmed up more
I thought the first tune was speeding up, but what's up with the time signature?
@@Lea99Jones rare to see Steve Jordan not just fall into the pocket Mayer created
@@juasauga80 Mayer started way too slow and Steve brought him back into reality.
John started pretty slow then Steve really pushed in aye. I get it though. Felt a little rushed
That PRS sound is awesome but man it goes up a level when Mayer switches over to a strat
Spot on
Actually here i think the prs doesnt even sound that amazing.
Amazing how much better the Strat sounds.
for real. like night and day. more open/top end once he switched to the monterey
Unbelievable. It was like rebirth.
I love this man❤ and I love this trio. So much talent in one place🙏
Thank you thank you
Good'old guitar playing John Mayer... Nothing like it.
If I could turn back time. I love this band. They are the juice personified and John is the cherry on top. All good.
Thank you so much for the upload. That solo on Wait Till Tomorrow was so good! 🔥
Never have heard John Mayer sing this music but he is definitely in his element!!!!
Oh really? He’s sung these songs a thousand times. Go look up his live album “Where the Light is.” It’s incredible.

I don't know this John OMG that is just FABULOUS!!! This is the first I've seen I'm in Awe so amazing
Amazing performance John, loved seeing the Monterey strat again :)
I love this trio so much. And that solo on Wait until tomorrow was unreal.
So great to see the trio live again. The Strat is so much more dynamic than the PRS imo. It’s like listening to vinyl vs Spotify.
YES!! A total different and much better monster :-)
Totally agree!!
I agree, the PRS sounds sterile to my ears.
The entire mix on this is sterile. Compressed to high heaven.
I'm back and did not realize he busted the Strat out in THIS set. I agree it sounds fantastic.
We came here to be amazed once again. And we were
Hopes renewed again. Please God do another tour.
Anyone else notice Steve increase the temp on the opening of Who Did You Think I Was? Like “John lets gooooooo”
This ain't D&Co!
One of the best guitarists ever
Great performance. Some of my favorite JM material. He sounds so much better on a strat. Night and day to my ears.
Fantastic!!🎸
Oh yeh baby! That Strat tone! That's the trio right there. The PRS still sounds awesome 👌 something about him with a Fender though! WORLD TOUR PLEASE!
The Best Trio EVER!!!
He is back with the fender
The Fender sounds much better imo. Leaves more space for his Vox to cut through the mix.
That's a PRS John Mayer Silver Sky 🎸🎶✌️

Those verses on Vultures were incredible. Really great performance
Middle aged John Mayer is the best. He's aging like a fine wine.

Thanks for sharing the video
Great to hear these guys let loose. Way to go Johnny
Anyone else miss the tone and the way he used to solo from like 2009-2014? it’s not even the PRS, he just plays different now.
April Wines Marc Parent shared this. Wow, so glad he did. Pure talent right there!!!
Tone coming out of that strat is just unreal
To this VERY FUCKING DAY I envy how quickly he can switch from pick to fingers and vice versa…truly a beast
