 My 2nd Favorite Guitar Player. Amazing concert! October 12, 2008
Russ L. Grubbs (Burbank, CA USA)
Great interview by the Hollywood Sign. He's the next great guitarist of this generation.
Great concert split up in three parts. Acoustic, Trio, and John Mayer Band.
The Blu-Ray looks amazing.

Best Freebe ever! September 24, 2008
bunnyrabbit4 (New Orleans, LA USA)
I got this Blu-ray as part of a free offer with my new Sony Blu-ray player and I have to say it is a purchase that just keeps on giving. One reviewer complained about the sound and image. I think the sound is great. The image was also as good as get for an on stage performance. Yes at times you see a bit of grain in the lights but that is more ambiance than defect. Low light recording does produce artifacts even in high defintion. The amount of music on this disc is huge as is its diversity as he plays solo and with two different bands. Great buy!

I suspect that most people who are considering buying this disc are already familiar with John Mayer. Then again, I'm sure I'm not the only one who got the disc with Sony's promotion for their Blu-ray player.
One review panned the disc because of bad video and sound quality. The quality you get will depend on your equipment. I have Sony's top end current generation TV, and their newest Blu-ray player, so I assume that I'm seeing it as they intended it. The video quality does not rise to what you might expect from blu-ray. Because of the concert hall spot lights, faces were washed out and lacking in detail.
As for the sound, a good recording can sound bad on bad equipment, but you can't make a bad recording sound good on good equipment. Top quality equipment will reproduce every flaw. If others heard good sound, there's a reason. The sound is excellent.
But what's most important is the music and presentation. If you are already a fan, stop reading and buy it. In my case, the audience members looked closer to my children's age than mine, so he obviously appeals to a younger fan base. But if you grew up listening to guitar, and enjoy the music of guitar heroes whose music is rooted in blues, you can be 60 and still like this music.
His singing is very good, and his guitar playing is excellent. I wouldn't use the word virtuoso, but I would say that he plays with feeling and emotion. His music is compelling.
His guitar style is a blend of originality and channeling classic players. His acoustic style shows originality and his acoustic set is quite good. He then goes to an electric set with a trio, and starts with a classic blues song. On that one, his playing lacked originality, but had plenty of feel. If you liked the original, you'll like this because the feel is there, but I think he is capable of more.
He then went into a Hendrix cover, but he made it his own. It showed his talent. Later, he played some blues songs where he seemed to channel Hendrix in his style, and there are also hints of many other players in his playing.
His blend of styles, song writing and playing show that he is not somebody whose songs will sound the same or be stuck in a narrow genre. The video quality could have been better, but it's the music that counts.
Great Concert! September 7, 2008

I've watched this one several times and I have only had it for a week. It is great to see John Mayer as more than just the pop star. This show includes a large variety of his musical interests. I highly recommend it.
