JM Concert = Incredible


This past weekend I was able to see john mayer in concert for the first time. The concert was this past Saturday in Edmonton, my brother sister and two cousin’s that live in Edmonton all went together. For those of you who don’t know john is a guitar god, he has the ability to play both acoustic and electric guitar like they are extensions to his body. His voice has progressed a lot over his career in particular his falsetto. The combination of his smooth and pure voice with his amazing ability to play guitar as well as his songwriting ability’s is something to behold. Rexall center was almost to capacity. Kathleen Edwards from Ottawa opened the show for about 45 minutes and after a 20 minute break. Him and his band took the stage.







Setlist:

Belief
Good Love is On the Way
No Such Thing
I Don't Trust Myself (With Loving You)

The Heart of Life
Waiting on the World to Change
Vultures
I Don't Need No Doctor
Why Georgia
Gravity

-- encore --
Split Screen Sadness
Your Body is a Wonderland
I'm Gonna Find Another You

My personal favorite part of the show was when he played his guitar while simultaneously singing the exact same note in falsetto, so basically it sounded like two guitars playing at once. It was incredible. He did pretty much the same thing in a loop intro to the song vultures. This is actually a video someone took at the concert in Edmonton, sounds just ok, obviously nothing compared to in person live.



Another was his first encore song which was split screen sadness, a personal favorite of mine. That was a nice treat considering he rarely plays this song because it is one of his older ones.



Before his three encores, as he was leaving the stage a girl threw her bra at him and he caught it looked at what he had just caught and then threw it at the ground with a dirty look on his face, it was pretty funny.

All in all, it was a fantastic night. If you he ever comes to Saskatoon or Edmonton for that matter again i'm definitely going and you should too you won't be disappointed.
