He poured literally everything he had into that solo. That was truly inspired

Sob Rock is cool, but I truly miss that era…

I absolutely HATE they won't leave this video up. Just my opinion, but this is my number one favorite John Mayer live song performance. The solo is nothing short of other worldly. This is truly the hidden gem John's catalog.

He deserves to be in the same conversation as the all time greatest guitar players. Anyone who judges him by his pop music doesn't understand him as a musician

when i was a student, i really like his neon, and one night i was on a bus to see my girlfriend, and i saw the lights and buildings just flowing with the rain on the window, and i was listening to this song. can't forget how i felt that night, it brings me back everytime.

If you play guitar you realise how good this is, if you don't play guitar you need to know this is really good.

I don't know how many times I watched this, but today I almost cried.

I think John was tired after writing St. Patrick's day and having like 40 difficult chords... so he wrote a 2 chord song... and was equally as amazing...

This is one of the most tight solid back units you will hear. Incredibly complementary to Johns playing at all times

What I’d give to play like this just one time! Even if it was by myself, with no one to hear it!

This is the best live performance I’ve ever heard in my life.

The section after he sits down is soulful AF

Missing John’s raw emotions. Glad he shared this piece of his heart with us. This is a masterpiece.. years later I catch myself listening to this version to feel this

I will never stop loving JM

After all these years of us growing old together, I've found songs that get stuck in my head, I always end up back with John Mayer's Covered in Rain

I’d watch this concert over & over when I was younger. Obsessed. Always loved how this song grew out of City Love.

I’ve seen JM over 15 times live and still come back to this performance. The solo is just magical.

0:00 intro 0:54 verse 1 1:34 short interlude 1:49 verse 2 2:15 chorus 2:42 fast solo 3:30 chords part 3:54 slower solo 5:04 soft solo 5:39 transition riff 6:01 delay riff 6:27 rhythm riff 6:37 fast solo 2 7:22 tremelo strumming 7:37 transition 7:51 verse 3 8:17 chorus + outro 9:01 interlude riff again

I am overwhelmed with this performance. Now I know why John Mayer is a legend at 40, I have always loved his music but today is the first of seeing this and I am blown away. So young JM

There are few perfect things in this world, but that solo... lord, have mercy.

Every now and then there’s a song that the first time you hear it you just wish it would never end and this is one of them.

i remember about ten years ago i dedicated my life to guitar after watching this nonstop. coming back to it its still the greatest guitar solo ive ever seen.

Shades of Stevie in the tone and phrasing in the first part of the solo, but the best form of homage. John is a virtuoso.

it's like every note was perfectly placed in that solo, and perfectly flowed with the rest of the band. One of the best performances for sure.

Damn John Mayer is dope as fuck

Still one of Johns best and thats saying a lot, guys got an insane catalogue of live performances

This solo could cure corona lol

Damn, i always have chills and tears in my eyes when i see this performance. John's one of the best guitar players of the last 20+ years, u gotta watch it live.

We all rocked those jeans. Dont lie.

The phrasing in the solo is just full of emotion. It speaks in a way that we each will hear whatever it needs to say to us at the time all while saying exactly what he meant to say while playing it... Brilliant.

this song makes me cry just hearing the opening arpeggio.... then gives me the utter chills. spooky, "watching CNN" 9/11 in the backdrop "a silhouette I haven't gotten used to yet" is the skyline without the twin towers

My favorite guitar solo. My favorite song. I love this so much. An absolute masterpiece.

It’s cool to watch how he moves around when playing solos like this. Just playing by feel and letting go of control of his body and letting the music guide him around the stage

Best John Mayer song. Change my mind

20 years ago. He was what like 23. He had so much talent at such a young age. Incredible. One note missed throughout this that performance, with those licks, is otherworldly

I will never grow tired of this performance. Can't describe how good it is.

His creative light shined soo bright as a young man, fame and ego took that from him when he moved to LA

This performance precedes KZfaq. I remember watching this over and over again on Yahoo music or something like that.

The beginning of this solo is right on with the beginning of Stevie Ray Vaughn's Life Without You solo. Love it so much

Still one of the very best guitar solo ever. John blessed his strat a dreamy voice

God bless you for the upload! I was so disappointed when it was no longer in my KZfaq playlists. This version with the solo is just heaven.

Thanks man..searching for this since few years

My GOD those scooped pick-ups. The tone is monstrous.

And that’s why I will never play anything other my American made Deluxe Strat and a good tube amp. Love you John. Your the reason I took guitar lessons.

YT keeps taking it down, but thankfully some blessed souls keep putting it back up. This solo on the record sounds of the same perfection, but watching him perform his wizardry just adds so much more appreciation as to how that sonic beauty came to fruition.

Finally I've seen the video that goes with the performance, masterful.. no other words for it

Honestly when he calms that solo down just do go NUTS at the end of it… makes me laugh but only cause idk how else to react. He’s just other worldly on the guitar

I hear some Stevie influence. What a guitar monster! Love this!

He was like 22 years old or something, insane to have this level of depth in music and vocals. That perfect falsetto sounds like howling in grief, absolute emotion. So talented.

I have a copy of this full concert. Downloaded it back in 2010 I believe. It is still on my 1st Gen iPod touch. I'm looking for ways to transfer it to my computer so I can share it with you guys

Unbelievable feeling from John. Seems like he is sharing cells with he's guitar.

This song right here showed that he was a masterful guitarist he is musical genius...

This is the most beautiful song I ever heard, first time I heard I was in tears

This is the very first DVD I have ever bought! I didn't see the point since I had the cd's and asked my friend how many times would ever watch it? Oops, my mistake, I watched it so often that if it was a vinyl record it would had those white groves....

This solo is just absolutely spectacular. If I was stranded on a deserted island and could have only one song, it would be this one. You killed it John!

I can't understand why this video has been taken down so often, it has to one of the most extraordinary performaces that I have ever seen. Maybe John should upload this one himself.

those rare artist that you just have to see to believe it.. watching John performing is even better than just listening to his music. Amazing talent!!

John was already cracked out of his mind at guitar back then🙏

First time hearing this. I’ll be back everyday…for the rest of my life.

Let's see today's pop stars pull this off. Exactly.

I finally found the live performance. No doubts that’s one of the best John’s songs ever. Thank you for upload it!

These days, with the world getting colder, She spends more time sleeping over Than I'd planned. Tonight we're gonna order in, Drinkin' wine and watchin CNN. It's dark I know, but then again It's the brightest thing I got When I'm covered in rain Now, I'm covered in rain, rain, rain, rain From fireworks to fireplaces Summer stole what fall replaces And now we're people watching All the people, people watching us right back Standing by the missing signs At the CVS, by the checkout line She puts her quiet hands in mine, Cause she's the brightest thing I've got When I'm covered in rain Cause I'm covered in rain, rain, rain, rain Cause I'm covered in rain No I'm covered in rain And come December, Lydia left. She mentioned something 'bout it being for the best, And I can't say I disagree, and it's killing me. And now I'm standing facing west Tracing my fingers round a silhouette I haven't gotten used to yet, But it's the brightest thing I've got When I'm covered in rain Now, I'm covered in rain, rain No, I'm covered in rain, rain, rain, rain I'm covered in, covered in, covered in rain

Still one of the best Mayer performances and songs, such a powerful heart wrenching song

Best song ever made ! this is just too much for this world

DUDE THIS IS JUST EPIC. I JUST HAD TO LISTEN TO THIS EVERYDAY TO KEEP ME ALIVE.

this is for when people ask me why I like Johns stuff..nuff said

If you haven't - buy the DVD and watch it - then watch it with Johns commentary on. 👌🏻

我看到的是一个孤独的大男孩，自由娴熟地用尽全力表达他深邃的情感。不论是他身边带给他温暖的女孩、还是温柔的雨水，他是幸福的。感谢有这么美好的音乐陪伴！

Jesus Loves You

he should release a version of this solo, with quality, this is beyond awesome

I can feel SRV guitar all over the solo. Yep, the Best live solo so far .👍🏼

the best video I watch on a daily basis..lol

John was dressed like a teenage slacker but he played like a god tier musician that night.

His closest reincarnation of SRV in solo. Stevie would have been proud of that.

"The best live version of covered in the rain"

I listen to this song and it transports me to such a special moment where I enjoyed driving my convertible car so much, forgetting about everything and thinking only about enjoying the music and the road💓

Beautiful, intoxicating, & infectious .. makes my heart race....

I love how the solo has a story of it's own to tell!!

Stevie ray never passed away he’s still here and better.

Even John had to sit down for this 1!

One of his best performances ever

i have listened to this song for over a decade now, usually in my mornings with a cup of coffee and a smoke. thanks john for this tune, thanks for uploading again!

Incredible. Goosebumps.

This is the best thing that anyone has ever done with a guitar

Love, love, LOVE this song!

No words. Just beautiful

The best guitar tone I ever heard.

I get chills every time!

I've been looking for this video for years now. I finally found it. Gonna share it with my newest John Mayer convert. Just in time.

Been listeningt to this for years! I have the dvd. God bless john Mayer! 🎶🎶🎶

I can't even believe that now there's a video of this song, I was looking for it since a long time, and now I feel honored by this🤩 Thank you whoever has posted it❤️

I want him to play this on current mood so bad.

Beautiful song. Genius John. What else can I say.

Thank you for sharing! Love this version

I don’t know how ANYone can hear this and not consider him one of the best musicians of all time

just beautiful

I just love the guitar solo! One of the best! Thanks for the upload

Best solo. Period.

Breathtaking.

One .. if not thee one Favourite solo of my lifetime. So timeless.
