I feel so spoiled. I drove 5 minutes, and paid $10 to get into the bar, and John Mayer just showed up and played for an hour. Such a great surprise.

Extremely underrated ablum as a whole.

In 20 years this album will be a "classic".

it's kind of scary listening to these songs. they're so lyrical, it's just heart wrenching.

He broke my heart the first time I heard him sing the "I got a mom, I got a dad, but they do not have each other" part, so beautiful but yet so sad.

Born & Raised + Paradise Valley Era> my personal favorite era of JM

thats what I call UNPLUGGED.... ya cant get any closer to a modern folk ballad

This is one of my favorites, too. Of all the new songs, it has stuck with me the most.

I cant begin to tell you how much i love this song.. it reminds me so much of my childhood and makes me look back on all those found memories of being a little kid with such a strong love from my parents..im older now, with no mami, and no papi, and so unhappy, but oh so gladdddd

John Mayer is one of the few artists that manage only to get better with every album released. There will never be a bad John Mayer album, only bad tastes in music.

This vid should have so many more plays.. I come back to this one several times a year.. so good!

I love how he can write any type of genre of music... and it stills sounds AMAZING

I spent my whole paycheck to see this wonderful man! I have to travel across the world though, but its worth every penny!

I love Musical Artists… Mr. Mayer certainly qualifies. If musical talent were a medal… Mr Mayer would be gold. Nothing pop here just good music.

It's one of the venues where he sometimes tries out material. It's usually unannounced, or announced a hour prior. :-)

Can't wait for the new album i love this new bob dylan influence hes got going on!

I had a tragic computer crash and lost a lot of music from my iTunes [yeah, I know shoulda backed up]. The first music I paid for again and downloaded was John Mayer. :)

If you don't like born and raised, you basically don't like classic rock. Nothing but huge shout outs on this album to those who came before. Bob Dylan, Crosby Stills and Nash, and to me this album is great because it's exactly what he needed to do. He went back and found the grassroots to classic rock. Yes, Continuum is amazing, but so is this CD...and who says he needs to do complex guitar all the time?! HE'S JOHN MAYER! He's got nothing to prove to anyone. Great album John!

People really need to stop hating on him. If you can't look past the fact that he grew his hair out and didn't call this album "Continuum II" then you don't deserve to call yourself a John Mayer fan. The lyrics in this song are incredible. I'll be buying this CD the second it comes out because I know he's going to pursue an entirely new sound that's going to be absolutely brilliant.

Own stuff, jimi hendrix stuff, bob dylan stuff, bb king stuff, enz. He can do it all..I think he is the most talented artist of this generation. Mayer RULES!

Nice. Simple tunes that I can relate to. Thanks for posting this!

@TheCkindred Thanks so much. The last time I saw John, I was in the nosebleed seats in an arena. This was such an amazing surprise.

such a brilliant and beautifull album xxx

I've been listening to this live version endlessly. I cannot wait to hear the full studio version on 5/22!

Thank you so much for uploading this!

You are a very humble person. Thanks for being awesome (:

Thank you sooo much for uploading these!! I can't wait for his new album to come out!!!

I've always wanted to watch John in a smaller setting rather than a huge concert. Great song thx for posting

I WONDER I MAYER WATHCES THESE VIDEO'S ONCE OR TWICE?.. IM SURE ONLY THE GOOD RECORDINGS LIKE THESE.. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Thanks man Great job

I'm pumped! John has introduced me to SOOOO much music and playing music. I mean c'mon...how many people play harmonica today? What an incredible guy!

This is like the 3rd of these new songs that have made me cry. I've missed this man in my life.

I don't have words to say how great this song is.....completely beautiful is easily on the tip of my tongue.

I am so jealous. =] This is my favorite of his new songs so far!

Thank you so so much for uploading, and such an amazing version! If i was in the same room as john mayer, i know i would faint, def would be in shock and unable to hold a camera steady! this song has made me abuse the repeat button, you made my day :) favourited!

"It's hard to fake what I won't be..." Dam, John. You always have a way of identifying me with your lyrics. Thanks :)

Most talented man of his generation for sure, best music!

Best overall musical talent of our generation! Keep it up John!

I seriously am going to explode. Too much goddamn excitement. IT'S GOING TO BE SO BEAUTIFUL.

John at his best. With an acoustic, single mic, and a harmonica.

@madmusiclove You're very welcome. It wasn't easy, because I had to hold up the camera and hold it steady for about an hour. :P For all of the trash talk I've heard about John, he could not have been any nicer in person. Meeting him was the highlight of my year. Of course, it's only January, but still. lol.

just from the few songs I've heard off youtube, I can already tell this album is going to be great.

This song will definitely be a hit. It's the name of the new album. And I can already hear an incredible full band arrangement of it. I'm so stoked for his next album.

Thanks for sharing the video. :)

Glad to see we haven't lost this guy. He could have easily fallen into the abyss like so many before him, but he manned up. It takes guts to admit your misgivings and grow beyond them. Looking forward to great things from this now grown-up fellow.

with some songs.. i think he just feels it more than others.. and cleary with a song that hits home like this, you can cleary see all his emotion and him giving everything he has

ADORE THIS TUNE!

this album is incredible, one of the best guitarists in the world and yet his best albums come from simple acoustic melodies. Opened my eyes to genres which I've completely overlooked until now. Who else but john? fucking legend

i love you John Mayer!! i will see you next saturday at your concert 3

Oh how i love him, this is great!

I'm so excited about "Born and Raised".

Wow, this is such a powerful song.

I miss the MUSIC... With this album, John will bring the music backs

Ah, I'm in love with him. Seriously.

wow some of his best music yet

im so envious with u violetskyye..i wish i was there :-(,i love all ur videos and i cant wait for the 'born and raised' album

his voice is getting better!!

DAMN, I love it when he plays that harmonica!

I'm blown away by how good this guy is....

I can't believe over the years I've not heard this get any radio play. Exception of like Sunday mornings over easy , a program locally you can hear in Indy, & Bloomington, In. areas.

Nice. It reflects what I'm going thru as well. John must be in hard times...

this is going to be a hit.

BEAUTIFUL..LOVE YOU JOHN

im so envious with u violetskyye..i wish i was there :-(,i love all ur videos

Oh my God, how did I just find this?! It made me cry. So beautiful. I'm getting the feeling this album is going to at least rival Continuum.

This man is amazing!

@violetskyye thanks for uploading this stuff!! :D

this really reminds me of "Don't stop believing" version that he performed in New Orleans... great song, can't wait for his new album

I have a feeling this could be a huge hit!

Love this!

in 20 years john will be one of the best guitar players ever!!!!

One of my favorite days. Hahaha.

AMAZING

omg omg.. I can't wait..I can't wait...

John Mayer already is one of the best guitar players ever, it just might take 20 years for some of these damn people to notice.

Belief isn't just other popular one. Belief is a masterpiece

i cant wait till he comes next weekend to holleywood and highland!

i can't wait for his new album to come out. i've been listening to little clips of his new songs coming out on itunes. i hope he gets better soon.

I wonder how many gigs like this are never recorded, I'm gonna miss them all...

i reacted the same as the guy in the beginning! thank you john mayer, we have missed you.

An artist in transition...this is not fabrication; it's revelation. And it's good.

the chorus is so good

awake trying do an assignment but im glad this is what's keeping me from it. i love you, john mayer.

@silVa219230 hell yea bro! No matter what you can't beat the sound of John Mayer!

did anyone else cry?... so beautiful, but so sad

whoever disliked this song is crazy! this song is legit!

they god that clap didnt pick up. amazing performance

Such a better quality recording than the one at The Underground in NY! Thank you!!!!

john mayer + guitar + Harp is ♥

After Listening To This Song.. I Don't Know Why, But I Feel Like Starting Over And Changing My Perspective On Life :')

im going to that show!

I'm sad that there's probably not going to be any crazy guitar solos on this next album but the incredible amounts of heartfelt in these new songs totally compensate that. He may be an awesome guitarist but he will always be a songwriter at heart.

always wanted to write a song like this. never had the ability to put it into a song. feels like he's just playing for me. but thats what music can do for you..

I saw this video 6 months ago and I thought it wasn't good enough. I even forgot about it. But when I listened to it on the album, I went nuts. Favorite after Walt Grace's.

after my first couple of listens i wasnt overly interested in this song..then around lunch time today i found myself singing..''Born and raised'' ...johns only gone and done it again!!

this is for SURE where he's gotta go. suddenly after his hospital visits he has been thinkin just like that first time he was in the hospital and realized he wanted to sing his whole life rest on. we are gonna see a classical change for a singer songwriter. he got the led out in his blues, he got the exxxxxxxxxtra pop squeezed out with alll the heartbreakwarfare scene and now he has been listenin to old mid 70's songwriters and is gonna show us his wiser and real acoustic side bringing all home

As long as he isnt blues. Im a blues guy but love listening to pop Mayer.

blessings to you.

This songs verse chord structure (almost exactly the same as Lay Lady Lay) + the use of the harmonica tells me John has been listening to a lot of Bob Dylan and that's the direction he's headed. Awesome. Awesome!

3:56 "So ride on up..." IDK why but that's my favorite part of this song
