I LOVE YOUR MUSIC I KNOW EVERY SONG! I'm a big fan!
@@Urmom-zm4xm i am also a big fan, every time i also want to get a 👉 "❤" from him.. But 🙁
@@mdsohardo160 I know I want a "❤️" from him 🥺
John is so egoless here, just complimenting the song perfectly... he's so much more humble than he gets credit for
When it comes to music. Mayer is really serious about it. His ego shows in other aspects of his life but never in music. He respects the art.
Yea
@@Zahiimchen Well said.
so true, Its really saddening as to how underrated he has become nowadays. He truly is and will be the greatest Singer songwriter/Guitarist/Musician/Performer of all time. I LOVE YOU JOHN MAYER
kaushik ravindran now that’s a lil much to say he’s the best musician of all time especially to say in every aspect of music
Love how Mayers solo didnt overwhelm Alecs performance. Melodic and balanced. Mayer is a living legend. Alec lesssgoo!
Agreed. Mayer's solo was in perfect balance with the song. That's one of the reasons Mayer is a legend!
so true
Robert Falani most of guys would do a sick shred, but John didn’t, John is John
i’m happy i was your 1k like
John's solo was basic af because the song was basic. If he did 10% of what he can do it would've overwhelmed this chump
Am I the only who thinks that their voices kind of reminds me of Alec being the innocent side of our childhood and then Mayer as the matured adult reminiscing of his times as a kid? I dunno seems like it to me
and I cri to their harmony :')
Omg that makes me cry even moreeeeee
Me too it's beautiful
♥️♥️
Wow you put it so beautifully :')
This is one of the coolest things i've ever done :). i woke up the morning of the show and my voice wasn't working .. i was afraid i wasnt gunna be able to sing but we got through it !!! hope you like it :) tix for my world tour avail here: alecbenjamin.com/tour/
Thank you for your music❣️
I've my tickets for Belgium ❤ I'm just soooo happy love you
I wanted to go but the tickets sold out before i got one...😭😭
We definitely need an official studio recording of this version, it's just so great!!!!
Already done. Me and my friend got a ticket front row to see you. Couldn't be happier!
Alec vocals plus John Mayer’s guitar skills and voice can mean only one thing = PURE PERFECTION 👌
so true
Angelicelephant ! I’m glad you agree :)
@@annathecreativeindividual3648 😊😊
so trueeee
Am I the only one that's going to say how stunning John was here? Alex made the song complete on himself but John made it perfect without taking the fame at all he just stood there and made such beautiful harmonies mixing his voice with Alec and the guitar softly on the background gave it a new vibe but didn't ruin anything from the old one. JM is my fav artist and here again he shows why. Alec you're amazing keep doing what you are doing hopefully this will be placed on spotify.
Yeee-es and I certainly can hear why he loves this song. It's great!!!!!!
M IJ that’s john for ya. he’s always magical
The solo is like the perfect icing to such a gorgeous cake.
M IJ Spot on!
The hell you talkin' about? It's John Mayer. He always kills it.
"It's 2019 and a crowd of a couple hundreds of teens cheered at the BEGINNING of a guitar solo. Everything is not lost."
So it's almost 12 years now?
@@adesignerlife 12 years since what happened?
@@azuredragon4978 JM said while playing one of his songs in Where the Light is LA Concert "7000 people in LA going nuts over blues - Everything is not lost"! That happened
@@adesignerlife sons was iut of my mind
@@jigarchavda2045 it was indeed out of my mind from where the light is
This was amazing to see live. You deserve the world man. You are such an inspiration to millions including myself
Never stop being you!
Okay Gabe
You're here.
Now I don't know who to stan.
Um I was just watching your video before this 😂
Gabe Erwin Wow someone actually famous watched this!!!! Amazing
Omg, hey Gabe!
8nk
3:09 for the magic
John's vocal and guitar solo is just right on point. what an amazing guy
I automatically had a big smile, the moment John hit the first note! ❤️💯
*John's incredibly mature humility here is something of a true living legend...*
Even when this dude Alec introduces him, John doesn't wanna take the spotlight off the young blood, instead he just wants to _add new layers_ (all in a balanced fashion) _of profound feelings that the song can now give_ --- thanks to him. Man, John Mayer is one of the greatest artists of our time. We just don't realize that yet; hopefully future generations do :)
Esteban Talero exactly!
Yessssssss
pefectly said!!🤍
Truth 👌
Superman is alive! He came to play guitar with Alec Benjamin 🎸
Ha, ha so true and Alec is Robin. Okay, so I switched, ahem, heroes, but you get the point.
YoniTzafrir love this comment❤️
I remember when Alec mentioned in an interview that he wanted to collaborate with John Mayer and finally he is doing it. I live ur dream with you Alec.
Congrats!!! U did it (Y)
aww
John's solos always kills me dead. This one was so beautiful and so well integrated to the song. Well done too Alec, must've been huge to play with your idol and hero.
sicboi Right!? I felt every note form the very first to the last!
My favourite part is JM’s little lick at 1:48 and how a select few of the crowd knew what a treat they were in for!
I love how subtle it was. I noticed this too, I totally didn't scream "whoooooo" at my computer screen.
So tasteful , fantastic. And something catches his attention right after. wonder if it is the piano..
John Mayer's solo always takes things to the next level!!!
I'm a simple man, I see Alec Benjamin I click
Same
Especially if I also see John Mayer
SAME
Well.. it is his account. You generally do see Benjamin here.
I see John Mayer I click
I love u so much Alec , your voice is so unique!
Brazil? 🇧🇷
@@joannecaloi nope
Also John Mayer
@@lucifero9077 absolutely
Him wearing a pink hoodie and lime green pants is the confidence that I need 😂 btw he has a wonderful raw (in-auto tuned) voice
I'm a simple man, I see John Mayer, I click like
Bring it in my man!!
No
Don't forget to subscribe to Alec
"The Blues don't change" - Albert King. For 20 years Mayer has been introducing Blues to a different generation of people and by the looks of things, He ain't stopping anytime soon.
That’s a bloody dream team if I’ve ever seen one!!
Love your vids man ❤️
Alec : One of my friend is here.
Audience : hoo!!!
Alec : his name is John Mayer
Audience :wooo hooooooooooooooooo
Fucking cool! It’s so so cool that John supports all of these upcoming artists taking over the game (like Shawn Mendes). All of these kids look up to Mayer and Mayer is like a mentor to them and he lets them take the limelight and is just there killing it and supporting them.
"My good friend..John Mayer."
Those beautiful background vocals with Alec's voice
John just casually like, rocking out to 'Death of a Hero'
That amazing electric guitar solo.
Alec Benjamin
John Mayer
Beautiful
I love that he managed to do it with john Mayer.... Well done bubba
*2 OF MY SINGERS OF ALL TIME 🥰😍😍*
They truly are the two of the singers of all time
@@rottenpotato9445 i agree, there some of the two probably ever
Lmfao definitely two singers of time
Yeah 2 singers of all time
Gostaria de ver uma colaboração do Alec e Jimin . Com certeza ficaria lindo a voz dos dois são suaves e doces combinação perfeita.
My god...fucking incredible
HAHA I saw myself in that video and it was just a reminder of how powerful that performance was and the joy in that theatre that night. Thank you Alec for such a memorable night. Keep up your amazing work and stay true to yourself.
cosmo and wanda thought they were slick hiding as alec's outfit
PFFFF
Who loves Alec❤️
MEEEEE
Meeeeee
"He's one of my best friends" I WAS SCREAMING INSIDE WHEN ALEC SAID THAT
M Agustina wtf are you talking about he said one of my friends not best friends haha dear god
Timm Spencer some people just love to embellish 😂😂
I was in Pittsburgh when I saw Superman in the backroom
He was doing lines or something in the bathroom
I barely recognized him at all
I saw him doing things you shouldn't do with all that power
I wish someone would have thrown him in the shower
I barely recognized him at all
That night I put my youth in a casket
And buried it inside of me
That night I saw through all the magic
Now I'm a witness to the death of a hero
I burned all the pictures in the attic
And threw away the magazines
That night I saw through all the magic
And now I'm a witness to the death of a hero
I tried to look away but you can't look away from a trainwreck
The things you said to girls, well they were shameless
I barely recognized him at all
I tried to help but he said he was just too far from saving
And nothing I could say was gonna change him
I barely recognized him at all
That night I put my youth in a casket
And buried it inside of me
That night I saw through all the magic
Now I'm a witness to the death of a hero
I burned all the pictures in the attic
And threw away the magazines
That night I saw through all the magic
And now I'm a witness to the death of a hero
The death of a hero, he couldn't be saved
Now I'm cutting the grass and I'll cover his grave
I'll cover his grave
The death of a hero, I'm turning the page
Now I'm cutting the grass and I'll cover his grave
I'll cover his grave
That night I put my youth in a casket
And buried it inside of me
That night I saw through all the magic
Now I'm a witness to the death of a hero
I burned all the pictures in the attic
And threw away the magazines
That night I saw through all the magic
And now I'm a witness to the death of a hero
What a performance! JM’s solo is just pure perfection. Release it on a track and I’d buy it, and I doubt I’d be alone in this. My new favourite song. Awesome.
Absofreakinglutely. Me too.
Wright
John Mayer is a living legend.
Wow this is everything I never knew I needed
I knew I needed this but I never knew I would get it
This performance is literally perfect.
John Mayer featuring in the next album?? Please
your soul is so beautiful.I can feel it...
Adorable
This is so nice! Your have a great “raw” voice (no auto tune)
Lol. Raw voice? It's a teen's voice. No idea if there was pitch correction. The tech is so good now, that it's hard to spot.
Btw, this is not the live version. This is a recorded and mixed version.
colaboytje he is not even a teen anymore also they recorded it and published it directly also you can see his other vids when he sings to people they are like recorded in the studio you jealous idiot lol
@@colaboytje Teen? He's like 24
@@toomanyrats534 Alec is 28 now. Still great vocals
The Perfect Duo doesn't exis-
And then this concert came
The lick at 1:50 couldn’t be more perfect DAMN
you could almost hear the Gravity tone in it haha
Yo that was straight up PERFECT
YES!!!
That was lick and not riff😂
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU ON YOUR WORLD TOUR
John Mayer truly is a master of music. Incredible.
Could you put this on spotify please ? Its just amazing!
Alec you're very lucky. There are thousands of singer-songwriters dying to experience this moment with Mr. JCM.
John Mayer just Makes every song Better ❤
That's how heaven must sound like
Heaven sounds like slow dancing in a burning room.
Love seeing my idol signing with his idol ❤ Dreams can come true!
It’s crazy how posting a UA-cam video of singing original songs to strangers can lead to singing original songs to crowds of people with John Mayer.
Anyone listening to this, has got good taste in music
He is unique......his voice is.........
Damn, im speechless
Thanks, John, for giving an artist his propers. You're a class act...and that solo was damn sweet.
Omggg I just got my ticket and I'm so exited!!!! See you 12th November 💜😍😍
Same sooooooo excited
You are so lucky im lettarely crying because i cant go
@@maramrayyan2478 aww shame maybe next year

John for Mayer!!!!
Seriously that guitar solo gave me chills! Well done! 👍👏 🎸
absolutely wild..i'm so proud of ya dude
Woah you've been here for a while
hi, verified guy?
Am I the only guy that would be there in the crowd and loudly sing with Alec and all the other girls ? :D
Not at all
Congrats on coming out as a gay man.
@@thegorn lol not gay at all
I'm so proud of you, I'm subscribed to you for long, and you're doing great, it's fun seeing you getting better and better and getting noticed by bigger musicians, you're really amazing, and I love your music, i hope you'll get more famous
Live along with my fav dude John Mayer is a therapy for me. What a Colab. Legendary Souls Alec X John.💚
I love how his concerts are so quiet
i got goosebumps from my desk at home. love you john.
John Mayer just made a whole new generation fan of his music.
I LOVE YOU ALEC
That John Mayer solo and harmony kills it!
You see John Mayer and can just feel that he is a legend.
Mayer level guitar is the level of production Alec deserves
u both have a beautiful sound together , IT KILL ME!!
Mayer's guitar solo!!♥️♥️♥️
This is the single most beautiful chorus I've ever heard.
See you in London Alec cant wait November cant come soon enough!
omg the solo part instantly gave me goosebumps.
John Mayers solo and background vocals really complimented this song
Beautiful song. I have seen through the magic a few times. Now I get that I kept pretending I didn't. So I never put my youth in a casket. Now I have, but it took a very long time. I wish I had done it the first time.
Mayer has such good taste and tact as far as how much to contribute and how to let the up and comers have the limelight, but try to support the performance and song as much as possible and just add some dopeness to it. Love John
Love it!♥️ Two amazing artists!
JOHN MAYER"!!! 3:10 he's like, here son, let me show you how to play a solo on the electric guitar. With very few notes, but lots of timing and feeling... great song and great singing Alec !
Any man that does a duo with John Mayer is a lucky man
alec benjamin + john mayer = HEAVEN!
That outfit though😭😭😭😭😭❤️
Just by standing, John adds magic.
Death of a hero, Birth of a STAR! So happy and proud of you!
I want to hear this on spotify❤️
I love ur voice man! I Hope u come to Argentina 🇦🇷
These two should make more collabs. 'Cause both Alec and John are one of the most amazing songwriters, singers and overall musicians.
Genius performance as well.
The way John makes the guitar cry, makes me cry.
بحب صوتكك جداا😊💙💙👑
وبحب اسمعه دايماا 🇪🇬🙏
Iam proud of you👑☺️#egypt🇪🇬
YES YES YES YES YES!!! I have been listening to/watching this performance over and over again here on UA-cam - it is so perfect! My biggest wish was to watch it in a better quality - and here it is … My poor heart is melting. I love these harmonies, your beautiful voice and John's solo. THANK YOU!
I can't say a words, I just can cry all night long
Mayer- easily a candidate for GOAT. Great voice too.
*i listen to ur music no matter what mood im in bcos its just that good*
The solo reminds you of Alec Benjamin’s voice and lines in the song, what an endlessly creative artist John is, there is no limit to his musicality
Great things just get even better if John gets involved in any way shape or form. GOAT
I love I’m screaming
Ilove you and your music from Morocco 😊
Very inspirational video...love it
