John Mayer and Greg Phillinganes perform the song Gravity for the crowd at the Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, California on April 6, 2023. (Apologies to Greg Phillinganes for the misspelling in the title graphic)
John's signature song 'Gravity' continues to be his flagship, and well deserved it is. I love this tune to pieces and always will. This version will hold a special place in my heart for the master.
That intro is so bluesy....starting from 0:55 may be one of the most hauntingly beautiful things that have ever happened in any renditions of gravity. Pure magicians. Thanks for the amazing sound quality!
This song is awesome when it came out. Something to be said when the song's lyrics and melody converges with time and place that gives it a special meaning. Instant classic.
@@rahulvig5298 that's still not RAW talent. It took him decades to develop this control over his vocal instrument. The guitar amplifier is probably 1-2 of his vintage fender amps, $2000+ guitars, sound engineers with racks of incredibly powerful gear processing the entire mix. There's nothing "raw" up there. It's all COOKED, refined and perfected. The exact opposite of RAW.
@@officialmoondancer obviously man. You know what he meant, so what's the harm. Not everyone is as technically or verbally focused on what they write. The OP used language as a tool to convey his emotions, if we start nitpicking on that, then I'm sure we can go on and on with a debate that leads none of anywhere lol
@@rahulvig5298 simply stating and defending that his talent isn't raw. It's refined and as an artist, it's a bit of a slight to discount the decades of effort put into defining a unique sonic signature.
I’ve grown with this song, from a 20-year-old kid who felt so lost and confused in the world, to the person I am now, who still feels lost and confused sometimes, but has more faith in myself. ❤️
Confused ???Don't you mean "out to lunch ?" YOU'RE A YANKEE FAN !....(I couldn't resist) Up here on the coast of Maine we teach our kids to say YANKEES SUCK before we teach them to say Mommy and Daddy !
I was 16 when I heard this first, I'm 33 now. I've grown with John, from his acoustic phase, right through every era of his genius. I started playing guitar when I was 12 or 13, mostly nirvana and green day stuff. Until I heard John, I knew I had to step up my game, that there was more to this instrument than power chords. Now I'm no virtuoso lol but thank you John for unlocking the blues in me.. The blues don't change 💙
40 years from now people will be watching John’s playing right next to all the other legends. And let’s set the skill debate aside - there’s one thing that’s going to set John apart from 99.9% of the rest…
This was an intimate and enchanting session. It was a treat for all who were in attendance; I will remember it for the rest of my life. I'm sorry you have different feelings, but I hope you enjoy whatever tour comes next! I decided to skip the second half of his USA tour. I got to go to one show, and I had great seats. I'd rather leave the other shows for other fans.
@@spdorsey A Solo tour is the difference between artists that rely on the show/extravaganza vs those that 9know the music can do the talking. Such an amazing opportunity to admire his absolutely insane guitar skills. No doubt one of if no the best contemporary guitar players out there.
well if you ever wonder why these musicians end up being so mainstream watered down versions of there selves. It’s because people like you don’t like them going outside the box. If you don’t like it cool, but you could tell he loved it. Why steal that from him?
