John Mayer - Pinkpop 2014 [Full Concert] 

I was looking for a live performance of him to play whilst studying. Turns out that none of them are suitable for this kind of purpose.. They're so good I can only watch and listen. I don't trust myself listening to his content.

I saw John Mayer with my wife last night in Paso Robles Ca. My wife has been a fan, ever since John came on the music scene. I was only going because she wanted to go. I was surprisingly taken a back by this guys guitar playing skills; he is under appreciated in the music industry. Intelligent musician, and great humor. I see a resemblance of Freddie King, And Jimmy Hendrix in John Mayers guitar playing style. Awesome Perfect time, and Excellent band!!

One of the finest Guitar players in the business.

Man! Aaron Sterling is one hell of a drummer! Always adding the right amount of swing, groove, dynamics and depth to the songs!

He was special always, but after 8 year's leading Dead and Company - he's also a cosmic traveler. Smart, funny, profoundly talented guy. Love him. (said by a Harley riding, fully tattooed, gun club secretary)

He is human after all! 1:00:59 bum note and his reaction. Not too often that you'll see this from one of our modern masters.

My theory about John Mayer is his heart is in the blues, you can tell that right down from the tone of his guitar every live show. But he doesn't want to limit himself and likes to see where he can grow in other areas. This is why his album's genres have gone from (starting from first to last album) pop, rock, blues, back to pop-rock, folk, and now finally country-folk. His guitar playing alone easily places him as one of the all time greats, but sadly he'll never get that recognition because he doesn't stick to a genre like the SRVs, Claptons, EVHs, etc etc etc had, which in turn affects his tone every album and nobody can figure out if he excels or not because while i'll boast about him cause of Covered in Rain, he'll be dogged on for Your Body is a Wonderland. This warps people's opinions on him, especially guitar aficionados. Mayer will never get the respect he probably deserves because of this, which honestly makes me feel bad for the guy. But one thing is for damn sure: pop, blues, or folk, he's one of the greatest guitarists out there (I'd go as for to say the most talented among active artists). I highly recommend watching the opening track to his Where The Light Is live album ("Neon"), this is what changed my mind about his abilities.

42:20 that guy looks like he's having the time of his life

He is a legend, dudes...

As a guitarist, obviously I appreciate John, but the the band behind him, especially the drummer……. Hats off

The band behind him was louder than normal. Can tell how complex each part is and mixed together sounds great.

He is the Mozart of the 21st century... All artists wanna work with him. Solo. Trio. R/B, Rap, The Dead, etc etc etc... Music flows through him like air in your lungs. On a simple breeze. He makes men wanna be him and women wet at just the thought of being touched like he touches his guitar. If you diss him you are not getting it and if you praise him its in his ear and out the other. He is him. And he loves it that way. I hope I can some day get another chance to jam along side him. I love him. He is my brother from another mother.

John Mayer the secret hero of the blues... slowly sneaking the blues back into pop

This man really knows how to write songs! He is an inspiration for every songwriter! Thank you john mayer!

He is a guitar god and isn't it boring to always be a "one trick pony"? I am born in the sixties and it is the glorious variety I appreciate with John!! And not to forget, he takes a stand! Nobody needs to strive to be everyone's darling! John, keep rocking on!!

A lot of people are complaining about his recent albums but have to realize he made those albums for him. Born and Raised changed my life and I'm grateful for that album. Paradise Valley was made in 2 months if I remember correctly and that album is much better than what I can write in 2 years. Mayer has made hit after hit and when he finally discovers a new chapter in his life everyone flips out. More power to this genius.

I can't believe I'm writing this ...but I'm new to John Mayer...well new in the sense of being in complete JM overload mode at the moment. A class act from the start to latest music on 'Sob Rock'. I love the different genres, it's what makes him great. His talent is mindblowing to say the least. The lyrics,the voice,the guitar ,the look. He has it all. Long may he continue to be spellbinding to me in his delivery of the music he loves.

one of the best natural guitarplayers in the world.

I love how John's whole face gets involved so intensely with the music. He is clearly in his zone. This grandma loves her some Mayer music. Amazing concert performance. There's a reason why he is still growing strong - his music always delivers and is relevant, relatable, varied, and always delivers. So glad I stumbled upon this hour of really good music. Thank you, John!

One of the greatest musicians to have ever graced a staged. We are lucky to have been able to experience his creativity.

Only morons who don't have an ability to understand the art of putting together amazing words to a beat think that John Mayer is ordinary. All the popularity he has proves he's is beyond genius. To express real every day feelings in poetry style is a real art, I know because I'm an artist myself and although I lived 59 years on this planet, I don't claim to have a fraction of the talent that young John has. Those who don't get it just need to analyze the words he puts together to create a feeling but even beyond that, he creates the mood of those words thru his music. The listener can actually feel himself in that moment. .Slow Dancing in a Burning Room is just one example of being able to visualize the fire overtaking the room as the conflicted couple slow dance to their death. Another example is "Dreaming with a Broken Heart." The most beautiful part of that song, in my opinion is at the end when he asks, "Why do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand? It can be left to interpretation which makes a variety of visuals for whatever the listener relates to. Some can even see it as a romeo and julliet type suicide where he loved her so much that he killed himself and is laying in the coffin with roses in his hand. John Mayer is brilliant. He's nothing else.

He's so fucking good it blows my mind. There are few like him anymore cause he's at the level of greatness of all the real greats of the 60s and 70s. I never tire of listening to him.

The sound the band had during the Born and Raised/ Paradise Valley era is hands down my favourite. This version of Belief is a perfect example of this. It’s open, wide, deep and spacey yet still focused and tight. And John‘s playing during this era doesn’t even need to be mentioned.

I just can't think that how much mental preparation one needs to perform in front of this huge crowd, with that much confidence that John has in this concert. Damn, that's insane !

He is the only musician/artist of my generation that has been able to broaden my respect for various genres of music. Was never a big Blues fan until I hear his Continuum album and JMTrio stuff... never cared too much for Folk Rock until I listened to his Born & Raised album (had that Bob Dylan, Neil Young, John Denver vibe)... he is GREAT at passing down the respect for the musicians/artists that came before him. Thanks John!

This man is so underrated. His talent ROCKS. And trust this old hippy, people. I've seen everyone from Janis to Bonnie. This man is the real deal. Enjoy

I don't trust myself is simply AMAZING. What a musician. The only one.

In 2022 appreciating John to the max in this time capsule concert! He's a consummate artist and timeless, timeless, timeless, the way art should be. I suspect fans old and new will still be adoring viewing this same concert in many years to come, and it will seem like it just happened yesterday. That's the way JM planned it. I love it, I love him! He's a A Genius, A Master, The Man and THE KING ❣💡🌟💎👑

john mayer is truly a modern day prophet of soulful music. absolutely love his music!

For those who are not happy about his vocals, consider trying to sing every day and you'll find out what happens to your throat and vocal cords. They get tired. John will recover in time. I just hope he isn't piushing himself too hard and thus causing more damage. This concert is awesome....love it !!!

Ah, the good ol' days... when people stood side-by-side at a concert with nary a care in the world.

slow dancing in a burning room, the way he ends his first solo from 47:29 til 47:33 with the 5 strums instead of an articulated lick for me is arguably the best version of it.

Full band version of who says.. This is epic

Grande Jhon continua così e facci sognare con la tua musica, sei il più fenomenale chitarrista del pianeta, fai in modo di programmare un tour anche in Italia, ti aspettiamo!!

Thank you so much man! One hour of Mayer a day keeps the doctor away

Man he’s got some chops, I wasn’t a big fan but seeing this live concert really shows his skills. Dude can really play, band sounds amazing too. Great listen on a summer day.

Ahh! The smile I got after I heard him singing the first words of Queen of California in its original melodic range. His range is coming back, baby!

Belief is one of the greatest songs by anyone ever both for its meaning and for the level of artistry that John displays playing it.

Amazing !!! Mayer is a legend. Permanent vocal damage. He is so amazing !! One of the best guitarists and songwriters !

Wow that intro to Half Of My Heart is the best thing ever!

Watching John is like standing in line for confession, with my heart racing and my conscience burnishing.

Я простая русская женщина, у меня никогда не было кумиров, но Вы Джон Майер меня покорили и просто свели сума ,как я хочу на Ваш концерт, я обожаю Вас и Ваше творчество, талантливей нет на всем белом свете, Вы мой кумир ,только слушая Вас я живу в этом мире, без Вашего голоса и музыки я просто умру ,дай Вам бог здоровья, долгих лет жизни .Я люблю Вас.Спасибо.

DAMN this makes me miss Steve and Pino so firkkin much!!!

His backup singers are on point

That intro for I Don't Trust Myself, incredible

Wow love every minute John Mayer is the King 🎤🎸

I wish I was there :( john mayer is the greatest musician alive!

Gravity is just amazing, love to hear it as the ending song for the show. John is such an incredible artist, the passion and vibe radiating from him makes me feel like i was at the concert too. what a beautiful performance

Man, this man has soul, AND the he knows how to give. Listen to this performance from about minute 40 and further. You know then you listen to one of the greatest singer songwriter guitarplayers ever. It's the whole package. Not his best performance huh? Still good enough to stand out against about everything else I heard in about 50 years. Be greatefull and say thank you to a true artist.

2014… little did Johnny know years later he’d be playing GDTRFB a bit more frequently😉🌹🌹🌹🤟🏼

John and Band Were Fantastic. He Always Delivers.

John Mayer has by far been one of my favorite artists of this time period. He has definitely had his share of ups and downs as well. You can tell from the progression of his music that he has gone from Pop, to Jazz, to a more Folk/Country style as his tastes have evolved. It doesn't mean he is a bad artist, on the other hand it is showing he is versatile and talented enough to venture out of the comfort zone that most artists stay in. With respect to everyone throwing a fit of his tastes changing, its understandable, but no talented and smart artist is going to linger around in "The Good Ol' Days" to make good music. Yes, his "Where the Light Is" tour in LA was amazing to say the least (which I have heard too many say). But there were multiple factors you have to take into consideration when comparing albums! For instance: - He was playing in a indoor stadium that was built for acoustics. You can't compare an outdoor venue and an indoor acoustic venue for the same sound quality, any experienced musician would tell you they will never sound the same - The venue in LA was his own concert, not a festival. Festivals are unpack, plug in, test, and play. The sound tuning going into his concert in LA I guarantee was way more involved than his performance shown here. - Vocal surgery is something you don't get over immediately. His concerts usually run over an hour or so. That kind of strain on vocals can wear on a person and I don't expect someone to be on their A game after a surgery to repair a very delicate muscle. I understand how people want to judge the guy, but its easy to throw blame and judgment at people when you are sitting behind your computer. Try getting on stage and being perfect when music alone is a very delicate lady.

His playing is so relaxed, laid back. Great to see and hear him playing

Just as great as always!

Finally! A concert I like more than where the light is! More variety in songs, more color from the band, and everyone on stage complimented each other so well. I loved what every single person was doing on the stage. Best John Mayer concert ever (so far)!

Everyone saying he sucks makes absolutely no sense. Wrote every single song on the track-list here, that should be more than enough to justify that he is a good musician.

I love so much John Mayer's music. He's a great guitarrist too.

À son peak! Tellement de soul là-dedans... Ce film est une heure de pure jouissance. THIS IS LOVE!

Thanks for uploading!

having seen him live many times and a devoted listener...this is definitely a return to the voice. Not trying to reach the spaces before!! Welcome back John

simply great.....great songs,great playing,great band....

I love his bassist and drummer, quite a groovy pair.

Bedankt voor de upload 🙏

He will be remembered as a legend. Sadly not enough people can recognize his genius or his mastery.

VERY underrated guitarist... A lot of his music is not my preference but he is crazy good!

Man this is amazing, thanks for uploading~!!

thank you for uploading such a wonderful video! it's an afternoon of eargasm well spent with Mr Mayer. what a perfect way to end the whole concert by playing his classic; Gravity. Please come to Singapore JM!!

couldnt hold my feelings back when i watched this. (i was at this concertand i was so amazed that he sounds live even much better than every record i've ever heard! it's incredible how many feelings you conect with someones music if you hear and play it day fby day.)

John is such an amazing artist.

Thanx for uploading this, i really think the going down the road/slow dancing is great in this video!

So sad for the USA that performers of John Mayer's caliber must go to Europe to gain recognition, which he has done hugely! Then he comes back home and people say "John who?". This guy is a gem, a national treasure! Look at this crowd in Netherlands. I wonder if he could sell half as many tickets in any US venue. Really a shame, but this is what our music industry does. They make us musically mind-numbed robots. Well, many of us anyway.

Can't get over this. Great concert! John Mayer is a guitar legend, song writer and great singer 🎸

When we were happy...and we didn't know!!

This was a gift to watch.

John Mayer is a true legend. Wish I had been there.💙🎶🎶

John Mayer fantástico perfeito😍

Beautiful concert, wish I could see him live.

I loved it.....thx for your beautiful voice.

Thank you! Very good concert, performance and orchestra. I am grateful to everyone. Well done!!!

Love him!!!!

That drop on Half of my Heart is EVERYTHING

thanks i was looking for this

He is so passionate about his music, and a little crazy. I love him for it.

So enjoying this concert. Wish I was there to soak in the live grooves, music and atmosphere

John Mayer, o melhor !!!!!

I can't get enough of this man

This guy keeps amazing me. Such beautiful guitar play. One of the best guitar players around!

If you weren't at the concert you'd still feel that passion. thank you for being compassionate.

Finally an video that really sound good! Thanks!

Muito bom! Esse cara tem sentimento musical.

The Grateful Dead brought me here.

I just love this setlist

working while listening to this... so good!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻I just get lost in this concert...this man is such a true talent with skills beyond the norm!!

It's all good, John Mayer in my opinion is an excellent artist. As a young musician, I wouldn't have checked out as many older artists if it wasn't for him. He respects his roots and continues to push for what he believes his music should be. At the end of the day, to each his own. Art is a totally subject topic, thank god.

best concert ever seen..thx john

I be listening to this all the time in 2023

You can hear his voice is weaker in this performance (still amazing). Just makes me appreciate how lucky we are that his throat healed and that we still get to hear new music from him today. Love this concert.

For me, JM's music is infinitely more creative and interesting than Bonamassa’s.
