If you're not a John Mayer fan, this dvd will make you one. Outstanding concert, and the highlight was the trio set, smokin' hot.Bottom line, you will not be dissapointed.
There's some great tracks for testing out the high-end and mid-range of your system as well as the low end. If you are a John Mayer fan looking to test out your Home Theater system this is a great benchmark. This was the first disc I popped into my system to test out my Definitive Mythos STS speakers. The Blu-ray version does a pretty good job of capturing the whole performance, and the audio quality is superb. The guitars sound crisp and melodic, although you will hear some reverberation effect, especially in the vocals.
There isn't much but music on here and I like that. This is a great blu-ray and I'm very happy with my purchase. Some videos on musicians have a lot of cut scenes with them not playing music. It is longer than I expected which is always good. I do with the full acoustic set was a bit longer, but the JMT, and Mayer and his full band are really good. Some may not like this, but I bought it for the music, not to see John driving his car around and talking. A great show, don't hesitate if you are a Mayer fan.
John Mayer obviously suffers from some of split-personality disorder, but so what. You may not like all of it, but will absolutely like a lot if you appreciate exquisite guitar playing. This BD, absolutely stunning looking and sounding, shows us his acoustic stuff (set 1), his trio material (set 2) and his more pop-oriented band at the end. AT well over 2 hours, you certainly get you money's worth. You may criticize his frequent SRV, EC, BBK and JH guitar impersonations, but he openly recognizes them as key influences in his music, and he can surely play like the best. He will be a great artist once his finds a final, more personal, place.
My daughter's are fans of John Mayer. I happen to be in Circuit City and purchased this dvd for one of my girls. I decided to listen to it and was amazed at his singing and guitar playing. I now am a fan and decided to purchase this dvd for myself.
