Who Did You Think I Was- Steve Jordan & Pino Palladino Multi-angle Cam
Having been born in the middle of the last century my guitar heros have all been the usual suspect, Clapton, Hendrix, Page, Beck etc. but I am encouraged by the work of this young man and his guitar. In the midst of a myriad of dance bands and pretty faces covering other peoples music it is truly refreshing to see an excellent singer/songwriter of John Mayer's caliber putting out CD after CD that seem to get better as he matures. This DVD show him in three different settings; solo, with just his guitar and michrophone, then with his trio of ace session players Pino Paladino on bass and the amazing Steve Jordan on drums, and lastly he segues into his full eight piece band. The videography is tastfully done in the vain of the Band's Last Waltz, with John talking to the camera in between sets.
All in all an excellent video that's well worth the time and money.
As soon as I ripped open my "Where the Light Is" Live DVD I watched it all the way through. John manages to capture the audience with new tweakings of his top songs. The man continues to amaze me because he is his own worst critic and he is never satisfied, which ends up being a treat for anyone willing to be a fan for years. This DVD contains numerous songs in which he expands and elaborates his vocals..top notch John, top notch. Buy this- you won't be disappointed.
I recently bought this blu ray concert. He's the newest guitar hero, the John Mayer performance in this concert live in LA is absolutely incredible. I have followed John Mayer from his musical beginnings. I can recommend especially the first piece, where he plays acoustic guitar with great talent and personality. Another excellent piece is Out of my mind, where he demonstrates a great mastery of the electric guitar. Others especials songs are: gravity, vultures, etc. This concert is simply spectacular, all the songs show something special that we liked. So don't hesitate to buy this spectacular concert, the production quality and audio are awesome, you will not regret.
John Mayer displays more than his 'pop' performance abilities in this hi def concert. His separate solo, trio, and full band gigs truly show how gifted he is with his guitar. He is the modern day Jimi Hendrix.
Video and sound quality are as good as any bluray. Plus, the ladies love it. :)
I was on the fence about getting this concert on Blu-Ray since I already had the DVD. But the difference is remarkable -- so yes, get the BD.
