Synopsis
John Mayer fans can expect the singer-songwriter to come in three action-ready poses in this concert release: an acoustic set, a rare John Mayer Trio set with Steve Jordan and Pino Palladino, and a full-blown set featuring the entire band. As always, this performance is part bluesy, part electric, and all Mayer.

He should shut up and stick to playing
Difficult. Great guitar work but only in small doses for me because it is interspersed with insufferable interviews - Mayer undoubtedly has great talent but humility is not apparently one of his qualities. I generally prefer music DVDs to CDs but in this case it is the other way round. For a role model of a true guitar wizard who remains very humble and I would imagine very approachable look no further than Mr 335, Larry Carlton.

Guitar/muso heaven
I've slowly got into john mayer over the last year or so, being introduced to him by guitar students. there's so much good about this.

for any musician of my generation pino paladino and robbie macintosh are well known. Real quality pedigrees. for those of you that don't know the names, they've played with everyone...and the reason is they're perfect. Each of the band line-ups present a lesson in how to play the right parts for the song. Which is why paladino and mackintosh, and the others got their jobs.

mayer's own guitar playing is of such good quality, referencing any great guitarist, including SRV, Clapton, Even a little of Beck. His song writing is great quality. (i transcribed Neon for a student, and it still takes me an age to work it up, and then trying to sing to...oh dear).

The bad bits - ok...at times the 3 piece section sounds like his voice and playing are too SRV. but imo he rescues it with some great mayfield/hendrix rhythm playing.

Er...he's too handsome.

If you like guitar playing, have an open mind, and want to hear someone completely classy - get this.
