JM Live

Friday night. July 20 2007. Tweeter Center. John Mayer in concert. For the third time.

James Morrison started the show around 7:30. The only song I know of his is "You Give Me Something," so that was of course the only thing I could sing along too. His performance was short but pretty good, and I might give his CD a listen.

After James Morrison, Ben Folds took the stage. Again, I only know a few Ben Folds songs, and they didn't play any I knew. He's really great on the piano though and I am most definitely giving their stuff a good listen.

John Mayer came on around 9:30 maybe. He started off with "Bigger Than My Body," which I think was a great choice to get the crowd hyped (though we already were). Next was his first single "No Such Thing." Although it's hard to choose a favorite song from Continuum, I have to say the next song he played, "Belief," is definitely up on that list. "I Don't Trust Myself (With Loving You)" was next, followed by my Trio favorite, "Good Love Is On the Way." Johnny went back in the past a little to a song unknown to a good portion of the crowd, "Covered In Rain." His politically-charged "Waiting On the World to Change" came next, and the crowd helped to fill in after John sings "So we keep waiting..." (then the crowd - "Waitinggg!") "...waiting on the world to change." A new song of John's that he seems to be playing at every show is "I Don't Need No Doctor," and though I couldn't sing along I liked what was presented. More Heaver Things material was added on when JM sang "Clarity," but then switched back to Continuum for a little "Vultures" goodness. The set ended with an obvious crowd-favorite, "Why Georgia," and probably his best material yet, "Gravity."

Knowing that John wasn't done entertaining us yet, he came back out to sing an acoustic version of "3x5," then an acoustic solo of "Who Did You Think I Was." He ended the show with a song he performed on Good Morning America that morning, "Crossroads."

Amazing, amazing, amazing show. I'm already waiting for when John comes back to the area. Plus, for the first time at a John Mayer concert at the Tweeter Center, it didn't rain! Us listeners on the lawn enjoyed the great weather as well as great music. Thanks, John.
