His producer seems like one of the chillest people to ever inhabit this earth

I never wanted to play a harmonica until I watched this! Thank you John, you have been inspiring an entire generation of musicians to play with more soul and feel.

Queen of California - 8:50 Speak for Me - 18:47 Who Says - 29:00 Dear Marie - 45:23 Outro / Something Like Olivia - 51:25 you're welcome

John is one of the few muscians that didn't want to stay in the spot light and persued real music instead of embracing the new pop sound. I respect the heck out of him for being one of the last huge musicians to really keep real music alive. Give it everything you got on the tour John the world needs more music like yours!

As soon as people hear any kind of Lap Steel, they automatically say "AWP TOO COUNTRY," and leave. Born and Raised is not country. It's Americana. REAL, personal, honest music. BIG difference, especially with today's shit we call "country"...

that old guy is blazed

Don Was sitting in a studio with no shoes or socks is a mood.

If I ever got to meet John, I'd want to thank him for everything he's created. Not only has he influenced me immensely as a musician, created an amazing legacy filled with heart and soul, but his music is relatable, and has helped me through some tough times. You'll probably never get to read this, but thank you John, no one plays the blues like you can; cheers.

How can you not LOVE John Mayer? he is the best, the smartest, the most talented and funny.

Chills all over my body when the drums and bass kicks in. Incredible to have you back, my hero,

Love the Born and Raised album - seriously haven't stop listing to it since it came out. Still hearing new stuff everyday

John and his band are so good it gives me chills

10 years later, I returned here to ensure it was real. What an incredible opportunity to have spoken with this genius.

He's not a weirdo, just living a different way of life. Extremely peaceful dude if you ask me

I am so pumped to see him now!! Never had the chance to see him in concert in the last 7 years and now is the time. I can't wait, but I will!!!

I CRIED WHEN I SAW THIS! THAT IS WHY I LOVE HIM SO MUCH HE IS SO AMAZINGG! AFTER GOING THROUGH SO MUCH HE IS STILL SO POSITIVE! THE BEST GUY IN THE WORLD! JUST STAY WHERE THE LIGHT IS O:)

I love how relaxed he is, one of the best out there and now he's back! Thank you John Mayer

Wow!!!!Im just watching and listening to this in 2020...Its incredible.Thank you very much for sharing.God bless ya'll.

When you play all his masterpieces back to back there is no comparison. He’s the true GOAT of the last 40-50 years if not ever.

Dude, your Born & Raised album helped me through my own tough year. It's an astounding work of organic art. I love it and it's so good to see you back - and smiling. You are different. We can see it. Keep feeling that soul, brother. See you at the gorge.

I can't be the only fan who cracked an unstoppable smile when he rolled into this rendition of "Something Like Olivia" at the end...doing music for the love of music, welcome back, John!

Dear Marie is a great song! Just feels good to listen to, you know? Thank you for that John!

Could listen to that " who says" intro forever. Thanks as always john

John - You have already left a legacy & inspired many. If the best is yet to come, bring it on. Cheers

No shit storms, huh? I think Born and Raised is JM's triumphant masterpiece. I'm so in love with it and have never made it through the album without crying. It's gorgeous, heartbreaking, raw and honest...and brilliant...just brilliant. And now JM has a new album coming out this summer...so exciting.

All of this dudes albums rock! I love them all. I still listen to 'Room For Squares'!

A man who came from living in the woods with an acoustic guitar, now this is real country music!!!

Queen of California is definitely one of his most underrated songs, it gives that eclectic feel of ain't wastin time no more. So simple but so beautiful.

Really glad he is back. He is one of my favorite artists.

Enjoyed the full 54 minutes. Can not wait to see him

Rewatching this after 8 years! Still amazed!

that level of uncertainty when he starts plucking at the strings and then the sudden smile when he hears the music coming together. Thats a true musicians face right there. :3

I loved him saying: You don't go crazy when you know you cant! man! it broke my heart!

On Who Says he was playing a riff of On The Way Home, from Paradise Valley that, at the time this was shot, wasn't out yet :)

Don Was is awesome and, over time, Born & Raised will end up being one of John’s best albums. This show was a great to see and John and Don make a great team.

That song Dear Marie makes me appreciate everything in this world

Steve Jordan... Keith Carlock... and now Aaron Sterling. this is one of the many reasons why I love listening to John Mayer's records so much.

That man is unfairly talented. Yet it just makes me all the more happy to hear John playing and singing again

Landed here after watching your segments on California Typewriter. Beautiful to experience the initial moments of your voice's return. Glad you got it back, John. Glad you're going strong.

This guy pleases all, regardless of style, whether it be country, folk, rock, blues, ballads or commercial, he is a talented young artist who stuns us with his talent...full stop

Your vocal issues have brought an appreciation for my voice. Singing is something i wouldn't want to live without, so I appreciate the sacrifice you've had to make. You'll get back there.

The way he just pulls tune right out of thin air is spectacular. #mayerisback

I love John Mayer i cant wait to see him live he will always be my number one!

he is such a gifted artists! Being indian we are very much involved in classical music! But the day i heard John mayer i just knew he is something different ,unique , simple and deep..and universal! this guy is genius! he really makes music from heart. and his music touches hearts. love u john keep on rocking !

Tour will be very interesting indeed. Brilliant music and musicians.

He is such a great artist! It has been an absolute pleasure watching him evolve as a songwriter & performer

I am proud to say that he is my Idol!!!

Thank you John! Bless your health and continue to share your art as long as you live and your legacy will be forever passed down generations...

That's one of my favorite albums ....great lyrics...and the melodies are incredible.....great production...I listen to this album everyday. John ur an awesome musician.

John Mayer is an inspiring artist as is the rest of the crew. Thank ya.

I feel like he's introspective, he think about his feeling and thinking a lot, I found it cool, that part of him is what made him develop his skills and improve himself.

man just more respect for John Mayer, Everybody Digs Bill Evans and Boss Guitar are my favourite albums

He was born with a mouth meant to sing into a microphone or to... Thoroughly enjoyed his first stop in Tuscaloosa, AL. He's so freakin good!

I agree. I absolutely adore it. I've listened to it as much as I have continuum, perhaps more, and I'm tired of continuum. I still feel it from born and raised. Paradise Valley, his new one, is also incredible.

Thanks for putting out this video. It's not only just another video it's blessings.

John: This guitar aint supossed to be used jamming. Also john: Crushing solo in something like Olivia

Oh my god. Dear marie, is BRILLIANT! SO EXCITED FOR THE RECORD

This is some amazing teaching. Love the likening of music to speaking, movement, creating a Photoshop image and the interplay of practicing techniques and then learning to implement and "sing/create/make music" from the heart with what you've learned. Brilliant prophetic teaching. Well done, John.

Loved every minute & can't wait for the tour!

dear marie is so so good. "I got my dream but you got a family" really hits home

Wow! Dear Marie was a great performance! It’s towards the end so don’t miss it

Singing along to this and having John singing backing is pretty great...

A great thing to wake up to this morning. New song, great voice, great words. It's going to be a good day.

The "weirdo intervier" is Don Was. He co-produced this album along with John. So, if you're enjoying this album, thank him as much as you should thank John.

So happy to watch u sing again john ! I hope ur voice come 100%

I think I speak for everyone when I say thank god John's back!

he is so damn musical man. watching him helps me to just play from inside rather than the surface. its only occasionally that i can zone out and be very musical. hes amazing. i wish i cud jam with him 4 a month. i wud be light years ahead

Dear Marie is basically Queen of California's Bridge made into a full song.... Genius

Amen to "point of view doesn't matter" - action does matter! Thank you, John!

I absolutely love that JM mentioned jazz as a category for an essential record to buy. Bill Evans, hands down, great first choice.

I knew John would make sure we got to hear "Dear Marie"! What a guy. #MAYERISBACK

I just love listening to John talk about music. It would be great if he talks more about the music he listens to between songs at his live concerts. I'll be at his shows this year for the first time. Can''t wait.

THE GORGE!!! I'm there! Been waiting almost three years for this. Man I've missed him!

Thank you for making awesome music. Cant wait to see it in concert, and love your new song.

i have fought with liking john mayer but since I play guitar I could not help but recognize his brilliant playing ability. And now im a huge fan of his ability's. He seems like someone I could be friends with.

Wow, Dear Marie and that version of Something like Olivia were amazing. Mayer is back!

He sounds lovely. I can't wait to see him on tour. Keep it going, kid!!

He is the reason why I love music...

He's a good man, with a good heart, had a tought time with his voice out, but he finally made to come out loud... Now he's right here, and he's right now, John Mayer G+ Hangout! hahahaha

Don Was is so awesome. I mean Mayer is the reason I clicked on this video, but Don is so cool!

This man has a mind of steel! He really is invincible. Nothing can beat him! NOTHING. Proof positive that he is truly A Genius, A Master, THE Man and THE KING ❣️💡🌟💎👑

10/29/2020. I watched this live. In fact,, I remember waiting for the days from announcement to fruition. I realize now (seven years down the line) that I had no reference for these songs when I first heard you play them here. It is really only now, in coming back to this that I hear just how different your renditions were, from what I have come to know, -the songs from the record and renditions also from past (beautiful and sorely missed) concerts. All beautiful, no preference. 😊🐯. (PS: This was also the day I became aware and an admirer of Mr. Don Was 🤲🏻)

it must be so frustrating for him to not be able to sing how he knows he can, but in retrospect he should be glad he's on the road to recovery! i am going to watch him in october! can't wait

I fell in love with the way you play with the musicians that grace the stage with you. It reminded me of my early concert days in the late 60's/early 70's. In 2007 you began a rift and gave it to the saxophone play, then when he took the lead you hid behind an amp to give him the attention. You did this at the Lakewood Amphitheater. We are looking forward to your return tomorrow and plan to get there in time to enjoy Phillip as well!

Waiting until tickets become available for sale for the show in Chula Vista. Seeing him live is on the list of things I want to do before I die. His music means so much to me.

This man playing a gig with a Paul Newman Daytona on his wrist like it's any ol' Tuesday afternoon. What a legend.

John playing his solo at the end Queen of California with the bass and drums makes this the best version of this song. #mayerislife

Divine guitar playing and gorgeous voice.

i really liked this kind of programme! good job youtube, john and the crew!

Queen of California: After The Gold Rush Of 1971. Love the Neil Young reference.

always have loved his music.. and then i love him speak... just amazing!

This was GREAT! So good to hear John's voice coming back stronger and stronger, and that bluesy "Something Like Olivia" was a great little treat as well. Love the new tune, and can't wait to hear more :D

yesssssss! very cool format. woke up at 2 a.m. and couldn't sleep so i just watched the hangout. missed the livestream because of a first date. yes, real life took precedence, but thrilled to see this on youtube with young John revving up from silence to full voice. i wanna see red rocks or the gorge, but Irvine is closest. OMG, Phil Phillips opening thrills me! love that AI boy. rooted for him and still am. however, first love is of course JM.

True musician . True Artist . True music . Thanks for existing , John !

I have watch this like four times in the past two days.

yay! Can't wait to see him in August !!! :) So happy he can perform live again!!!

I honestly don't know what you're talking about. I still hear the old John in his voice. He may not be as powerful as Brandon Look stated, but the guy is recovering. And in my opinion he still sounds like the old John that I've loved listening to throughout the years.

I got to see him on his 1st concert date in Tuscaloosa, AL and he was awesome!!! Glad he's back!!!
