    This is what I love about John. He is spontaneous and does this for music not for money. He is a fantastic player as well.

      +Daniel Russell He is featured very faintly on 'Paper Doll' off of Paradise Valley. Apparently DRH doubled a lot of what John was doing vocally due to John being worried that his voice wasn't fully recovered. DRH is quite low in the mix though.

    I gotta say! First off thank you so much to the uploader for documenting this excellence, I watched the whole thing in one sitting! I'm a huge fan of all the musicians involved and the whole loose impov setting was perfect. Now I'm laughing to myself with all the comments about Zane's playing, I have been a little jazz and fusion crazy the past 3 years and if you showed this video to me before that period I wouldn't have understood any of his playing, I diddn't understand any jazz or fusion once I stumbled onto it and then my ears became used to it after awhile and competley broadened my understandings and appreciation of music. I couldn't hear anything that was off-putting, and everyone's entitled to their own opinion, mine is that everything in this show was incredible! One for the books y'all, right here.

      @randyvanvliet226 5 років тому

      That's the idea.... give you a small teaser taste with a new studio album, and John records partially developed songs for sale. You like what you hear, then you get smart, and go pay up to see John Mayer play live.... and that's when you REALLY hear the song get fully developed with some jamming thrown in. Then you are hooked on the artist.
