I have listened to this song more than once a day ever since I discovered it over a year ago. I never get tired of hearing any version of it and he never plays the same solo. The dynamics of his solos and how he puts so much of his soul into it is just incredible to me. With John every solo is him speaking through his guitar telling a different story every time, not something I feel many appreciate enough. Enough rambling, just my thoughts.
@@2911sagar Probably because Gravity is relevant and relatable at every/any stage of your life but Covered in rain is specific to early 2000s. Also, I have yet to hear a bad song by Mayer that includes some bluesy solo
There are a few songs that JM rarely plays back then and nowadays, Covered in rain, Walt Grace,... The reason said by the man himself that he considers these songs "perfect" and he's afraid that he might ruin them if he plays live.
mmafan2223 i went to two and both that i went to he played this !! jersey and syracuse he played it live and i about died this in this video that’s why the camera pans up as soon as he starts cause i fell from excitement
i guess he felt the same way, "chasing my fingers around a silhouette "- probably happened to him before... way too common, this song its about a short romance with a girl that turned into a fuckbuddy experience
Heard a small reference to “sorry so sorry” at 3:51 that he played live with Howie Day some time ago. My second favorite performance by him, the covered in rain live in philly being the first.
shout out to the fan says: "I know this chord, it's covered in rain" in 0:20
This song is like a rare legendary skin that you can only get through expensive crates or giveaways.
Katsuno Sekki Hahahaha you are absolutely correct
I guess the kids have to relate it to what they know 😂
I wonder why he rarely plays it? It’s one of his best songs and solos.
I guess it's connected to 9/11 and that's why he doesn't want all those emotions to come back every show.
I think just to keep it special and not burn it out
And he always plays it on the same guitar
This is the masterpiece of John.
I'm dream to see this performance live, i'd die
I'd die if I see or hear john mayer play city of love with covered in rain in the same live set again
6:10 Wooooow! Oh my lord, what a freaking performance!
Jajajajajaj I love this part!!!
I go to two concerts of his this year. If i hear this live my life will be complete.

yes yes YES I can feel this comment
Rain just started to fall as he went into this. Sublime
i remember that dude. literally down pouring during the song
I've listened to Mayer religiously for 15 years and this is in my opinion is one of his best songs. Great performance.
Definitely, I don't know why he himself doesn't give the song as much importance as Gravity !

Agreed, timeless....

the worst part is that there's no studio version of this song, so basically every live plays are perfect!
I saw him play Walt grace! Unbelievable performance.
4:09 I'm sure that he remembered this part from Any Given Thursday, he made the same way
I bet he watched it again before performing again after not for so long
whoever thumbs downed this video you’re covered in rain
Must’ve been why YT removed the downvote count. That and well, Joe Biden of course.
Didn't know he still plays this
Michael Xz he doesn't - that's the beauty of it man !! that's why you lost hear me cry hahah
Kenneth Pichardo you are lucky. Even i am crying watching this right now.
Aria Tenna it was the best 7 minutes of my 2017

@@lishen9 i thought it was about 9/11… can someone explain 😂

@@Jack-jy1tt Yeah I don't know why I put come back to bed I was probably listening to it way too much and that line stuck
