I HAVE TRIED NOT TO LIKE JOHN MAYER... I am a loyal fan of all the greats. But, alas, I have failed. Hendrix, Santana, Page, Vaughn, all giants. I have refused to believe that the torch can ever be passed. John Mayer is simply the heir apparent to the throne of those Guitar Gods. This album is a well colored canvas of artistic courage and supreme skill. John is a fearless composer/performer and everyone with any doubt about his soulful guitar supremacy should listen to this album from beginning to end and prepare to be blown away.

Excellent 70s Throwback
It has a 70s throwback sound with with some very good musical jams. If you're into artists like Eric Clapton or Steve Winwood, then you will enjoy this CD. John Mayer is an accomplishted guitar player that can hold his own with other well known musicians (see youtube CrossRoads video with Eric Clapton).
The CD is broken into 3-distinct sets of acoustic, trio and full band and has a nice flow. If you listen to the CD take a couple of hours out of your day and listen to it end to end to get the full concert effect.
The trio set has some good blues like the old standard "Everyday I have the Blues". There are also a number of songs on this CD that really come life as live performances like "Good Love". .
Excuse me, Amazon reviewer...
Ummm. . when you say that we get nothing new on this CD, I assume that you mean other than different amazing live performances of the songs that are from previous albums, AND the first recording of "I Don't Think I'm Gonna Go To LA Anymore"? Which, incidentally, is the best track on the album.
Buy this album immediately - you will not be disappointed!.
Best live album around!
Awesome live album. . live albums show the artist's actual talent and John has great talent, in spades!.
How dare him
I have never liked john gayer and he goes and ruins one of my favorite songs sung best buy Tom Petty . How dare him to ruin a great song like Free Fallin. john gayer cant sing he just sounds bad he has no voice.
