Sarah and I were fortunate enough to enjoy a show at the L.A. Forum on Saturday night. John Mayer was featured with no opening act. He played for over three hours and filled two full sets with a wide variety of his new hits, a few old stand-bys (like Whiskey, Whiskey, Whiskey, a favorite of mine), Edge of Desire, XO, and Neon.
His second set featured a track-for-track play of every song from the album Continuum. This was an honor to attend, as he had only once before played this album whole. Continuum debuted ten years ago and is considered Mayer’s most prolific album by many of his fans. It signals a shift in his transition from pop-star to seasoned musician and songwriter with songs like “Gravity”, “Dreaming with a Broken Heart”, and “Belief”; a song about the epidemic of an adherence to dogmatic behaviors around the world.

Hey remember when we saw him at Mac World with Steve Jobs? And then Al Gore was outside in a Maybach.
