5.0 out of 5 stars John Mayer is a genius, July 1, 2008

I saw this on the big screen at a theater where I live, and nothing beat hearing it in Dolby Digital Sound somewhere like that (except for seeing the man live in concert, which I'll be doing later this month). It was your standard rocumentary in that it contained his philosophical moments, mixed in with a lot of amazing live footage from the Nokia Theater performance. What made it one of the most impressive concert videos I've seen as of late though is the format he used for the performance. It was all his various incarnations on one stage for one night: acoustic, the blues team he assembled for Trio, and his full band. It's as if he opened up for himself all night, and it really gave you a great perspective on his incredible range as a young musician and how much he's grown since Room for Squares. At times, the guitar solos seemed clearly to be meditative moments for him, and you could really see how much this dude loves The Music. It will be very interesting to see where his talent takes him in coming years, because he has come so far already.

I have never seen John Mayer perform live. This two disc set is the next best thing to watching him play live in the Nokia theater. He performs most of his hits here. I love the acoustic versions of "Daughters", "Neon" and a lesser known track entitled "Stop This Train". Mayer's cover of Tom Petty's "Free Fallin'" John can jam on the guitar like no musician I've seen this decade. I love his performances of the bluesy track "Vultures" and the fast pace of the track "Who Did You Think I Was" My other favorite tracks are "Waiting On The World To Change" and "Why Georgia". This are such happy songs that John performs with his band. I also love the song "Gravity". It is a slow paced track in which John displays his vocal skills. I love the music of John Mayer.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great live album, July 3, 2008

I really love it when artists give you your money's worth (as opposed to overpriced "double albums" or throwing in an extra DVD and charging more money for it, etc.). Here, we have an excellent 2-CD live album for 10 bucks (I paid 12 at a store, but close enough). I love the presentation of this CD---you get an acoustic set, an awesome blues set from Mayer's trio, and then an entire disc of his full-band stuff. The sound is great (I wish Rush would mix one of their live albums like this) and Mayer plays his butt off, especially with the trio. There's a gorgeous version of Free Fallin' which I think would make Tom Petty proud, and overall the musicmanship on here is at a high level. Not really much criticism to offer for this disc, other than there were a few songs I would have like to have heard here, but overall...100% worth your ten bucks.
