"Wow! What's that?" I said, and checking the iPod discovered it was one of the John Mayer Trio songs from the album that I had previously dismissed. As often happens when I don't have an inkling to listen to any particular album, I set my iPod to "Shuffle" whilst working one afternoon, and one song - with some great guitar playing - shuffled up and caught my attention. I forgot about the album for a while, and listened to some other bits and pieces. So, to start, I uploaded the CD into iTunes and gave it an intensive listening to on my iPod.īut, oh dear! "Oh my God, how am I going to review this?", I said to myself. As Mayer jokes in the DVD film, he is effectively his own support act. Each has the same track listing and is divided into three distinct parts in which we see John Mayer perform firstly an acoustic set, secondly a set with the John Mayer Trio, and finally a set with his full band, all recorded at a show at the Nokia Theatre, Los Angeles, last December. This double CD set and/or DVD would appear to be the perfect introduction to John Mayer. An easy answer would be to say that he simply isn't that big over here in the UK, but to be perfectly honest I couldn't tell you how true that actually is. Quite how John Mayer has managed to slip under my radar, I don't know. Had you mentioned him to me I would most likely have thought you were talking about John Mayall and that I had misheard you, or else you had developed some species of speech impediment. Let me just say right at the start of this review that prior to this, I had absolutely no idea who John Mayer was.
