Movie Reviews of John Mayer: Where the Light Is - Live in Los Angeles [Blu-ray]Movie Review: Everything the concert was and more Summary: 5 Stars
I have known who John Mayer is for a number of years and have owned a few albums, but was never overly impressed. Just not my style. Then I caught a few minutes of his performance at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Festival. Mayer's performance there was very reminiscent of SRV. I didn't realize he had that style or ability in his repertoire. Then the music service I use featured this album on their homepage and, after previewing it, I was hooked. I purchased the Blu-ray recording of it and have watched it repeatedly. The audio and video quality are excellent and the presentation is great. It is more then just the concert. It is a more private look at John Mayer and he seems to be a thoughtful and decent person. As for the concert itself, it is three unique sets. The first one is acoustic, some of it solo and some with one or two other guitarists. The second set is the John Mayer Trio. I love this set. It has strong roots in the blues. The last set is with a full band, including a horn section and covers John's more well known hits. Slow Dancing in a Burning Room and Gravity are fantastic. I discovered that I probably had not been paying close enough attention to the albums I had bought. Mr. Mayer is a good lyricist and has things on his mind that he shares well in song. The whole show is very enjoyable. I've spent a fair bit on a nice home audio system and the recording sounds great coming through it. If you're already a JM fan, you're sure to love this performance and recording. If you're new to this artist, I think there's a fair chance you might soon have a new favorite.
