Last night was definitely one of the greatest nights of my life! Anyone that knows me, also knows John Mayer is the only man I love more than my husband! This year, I had 5th row tickets on the left side of the stage. I was so incredibly excited and grateful to again experience the talents of (in my opinion) the greatest guitarist and musician of our generation!
I have 3 faves that I hoped he would perform... Covered in Rain, Good Love is on the Way, and In Repair. He performed none of these last year but last night he did perform Good Love is on the Way! It was a little overwhelming for me to hear live! 
He was really on his game last night! The music was just as fabulous as last year, but this year he seemed to enjoy it more and was much more personable. He smiled a ton and spoke to us alot about things like... leaving our troubles in life outside these walls and just living for the moment and in the music for the next 2 hours. He also spoke about how he has never been influenced by drugs (not as a teenager or an adult musician)... he believes it is because he was influenced by great artist and great music his entire life... mostly SRV... these influences kept him grounded... and in being grounded came the lyrics for Gravity. I found a great video clip of this at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbOKJWLUhoc
He thanked the audience over and over... and his appreciation actually felt pretty sincere.
My video clips were too large to post on this blog so I uploaded them to YouTube. They are not that great but if you want to take a peek, here are the links...
He ended the show with Gravity... AMAZING! Here is a great video of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJqIuLGj5T8&NR=1
"Keep me where the light is..."
Every time he looked in our direction, I completely freaked out and snapped a picture without waiting for the camera to focus. :(
I didn't have my blog last summer so I also added some pics that I took at last year's concert. I was 8 rows back on the right side of the stage.
Gosh, I miss that hair! :(
