- This is one concert that I will never ever forget…
- So we drove up to Xcel Energy Center and there were tons of people walking to the concert cuz they parked far away…
- Almost ran a guy over
- Once we got inside to our seats, the air was kinda hazy but the atmosphere was electric.
- Eventually moved up a few rows cuz no one else did so we got a good view
- Bad thing is pictures didn’t turn out the best cuz it was so dark but I got some cool video clips
- Michael Franti opened up the night and he was pretty cool… Jamaican reggae style if your into that
- Mayer actually started playing an hour and a half after the start so I was very impatient the whole time…
- As soon as he came out, the crowd went wild and crazy.
- By the way, the lighting and effects were by far the best I’ve seen ever.
- There was no tiny screen to look on.. instead there was a super huge LED screen behind the stage that was insane. (good quality too)
- So the track intro to “heartbreak warfare” started and they projected a cool video clip on this thin screen that actually wrapped around the whole stage electronically.
- I felt really cool being in the same room as John Mayer.. he is one of the best guitar players alive, no argument there
- Its weird how he can sometimes say stupid things in tabloids and be a total jerk but when he’s on stage, he’s very nice and super smooth with his words….
- He would make a good worship leader (I’m prayin for him)
- Man he ripped up his guitar to shreds!!!! I don’t know how his hands don’t hurt..
- By the way, Steve Jordan is the king of the groove… that dude can slam the drums like no one else..
- “Waiting on the world” to change was super groovy (yana’s favorite song)
- Played “free fallin’ acoustically, sounded crisp
- Sound quality inside that xcel center was the best I’ve heard in my life for such a huge building
- Did I mention the lighting was off the hook???
- I’ve never seen mixing board as big as the ones mayer had… bigger than lifelight even.. one was at least 6 feet long!
- So after the last song, crowd kept getting louder and louder for him to come out and do an encore
- He did and played “who says” and finished with “no such thing”
- Threw out some picks after, I wish I was down there
- What an amazing concert… Its one thing to appreciate his music through headphones but a totally insane experience seeing him live..
- Lets be honest, the coolest thing about the show was that I was with the girl that rocks my world.. I love you baby!!! Lets do it again!!
