This..This is the real John Mayer. Not saying that he wasn't before, or that his Live in L.A performances weren't legit, they were, and some very good at that, but this..this is raw, this is him, just finally being who he is and comfortable with it. This is beautiful to watch. John, you've come a long way, and I'm excited to see what you'll bring us next. Cheers everyone!

for my buddy Cesar, if you ever come across this comment, I love you dude, brothers for life 6/27/2016

songs so good he named it 3 times

i've gotta say, i'm really digging the little harmonica he's throwing in these hotel cafe songs. amazing. this song is dark and fantastic.

it's more like neil young folk style and i think this is one of his best albums to date; he really brought out his "artsy" side on this one.

my favorite song in the album..wow he really poured out his heart on this one.

Love the new album. This is first time I'm hearing the songs from this show but they rocked. Glad to see him playing at a smaller gig like his early career. This album has such an emotive quality attached to it and you can feel it. The album was recorded beautifully and sounds fantastic. All the naysayers don't have the same record I guess...

I really cannot wait for this new album, his music really makes doing med calculation homework almost fun, he is simply amazing, gravity on his where the light is tour gives you goosebumps, just wow, he deserves his accolades.

John Mayer is the type of singer who does is good and most of the times, BETTER when it comes performing it live :)))

this song is so pure and sad. It is really getting me through a lot right now. Love it and May 22nd won't come soon enough.

Thanks lady. Been awhile since Ive listened to John. These songs remind me why I continue to stand by him. Thanks again!

He takes stop this train "Lying alone in the dark", and turns it into whisky whiskey whiskey....kind of like somethings missing and in your atmosphere

This one is really really fantastic. All the chord changes, simply fantastic!

love that first to second chord transition in this one.

This song is so awesome, his next album will be amazing!

I have listened to this way too much. Taught myself how to play it and just want to hear John record and release it.

Crazy, 13+ years have passed, seems like i heard this song like few days back.

Oh John. I literally want to buy another copy of this CD because I take it with me wherever I go...must add it to my ipod. I can't live without this album. It is John's Best since Room for Squares.

Love you ninja....famous people showing them self buzzed and unafraid

i can't stop to replay..

John is such an amazing artist. He is always reenventing himself, always keeping the quality of the songs and lyrics up. His albums are very different, but he always puts his heart in each of every song. I can't deny that the best album so far is Continuum, but he stills working towards giving the best of himself forhis fans (and for himself of course). Congrats on the new songs, and have a fast recovery John!

I love everything about this man. He gives me goosbumps. Thank you for sharing!

I love this new, deeper realistic John. It's a whole new side of him. I hope that some of these songs gets released soon, or on his next album.

Amazing natural musical talent, and mighty handsome as a bonus. I would save up to see him in concert here in Baton Rouge LA, but lately the ones I really like have their concerts in New Orleans.

WE LOVE YOU VIOLETSKYYE WE LOVE YOU, THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!

I love both the live and the recorded versions. I'm proud of my little point and shoot camera for even competing at all with the professional recording.

I hate the people that don't like the harmonica.It's fucking awesome.

I love John. He's the definition of perfection

Well, I bought this CD yesterday at Best Buy. ( yes folks, you can still buy something that you can actually HOLD IN YOUR HANDS) This song stood out to us (my band) from the first pass through as the song to learn. I bought the CD yesterday and we're covering this song tonight! I hope I remember to have my sleeves rolled up and my pick is usually already in my mouth anyway, so . . . Thank you John and I hope your lyrengeal issues clear up ASAP! See you on the road.

I love his new album, and this is quickly becoming one of my favorite songs. Something about it touches me. Thanks for sharing this little ditty with us, violetskyye!!

LOVE!!!! He never lets me down...

These uploads are amazing! Thanks

i was expecting a a bluesed out guitar oriented album like he promised. hopefully he'll deliver like he always does. either way, i'm excited as hell about a new record.

this is bringing me back to any giving thursday

I like this. Thanks for sharing.

I want to give him a hug for this song..

Yeah, its D harmonica. And Born and raised is a G harmonica in case you were curious. I had the hardest time figuring it out too! But I have both now and know for sure. Glad I can help

I'm glad he's back

This is probably my favorite song of all time in all honesty

I'm getting used to this song, it's addictive! First chord is incredible and I hope he puts this in the new record.

That guitar sounds so good.

It's in G with a G harmonica :) It's kind of in D mixolydian so a D harmonica could do but i'd recommend a G.

I dont know you...but you rock for getting these videos!

After listening to the album I'm going back and watching these and I honestly prefer these versions

Harmonica and guitar at the same time. That is some skills right there!!!

AAH THANK YOU SO MUCH JOHN MAYER AND VIOLET:D:D:D

Haha you're crazy, the break is awesome!

woooooooooooooooooooow!

i like this version better than the albums

now i like violet even more, thank you very much :)

My drinking song

really cool song and thank you for sharing violetskyye

BORN AND RAISED IS NO. 1 ON ITUNES IN ENGLAND. BOUGHT IT TODAY, AND IT'S MEGA-AWESOME.

looking so much forward to learning this on guitar :D :D :D

Amen , Brotha !

i feel you john.

@JManotherkindofgreen I agree. When I first heard this, I heard a hint of Neil Young too. This album is gonna be great. Every cd he releases is different. Can't wait.

@rallyraceface I thought no one else would notice that lol good ears

whiskey whiskey whiskey...........

This shit is hilarious in the beginning I watched it like ten times haha.

whnever im online,i cant help it to go in here and watch JM,thanks ms violetskyye

he is already much more than that.. hez always been.. i feel lyk i truly discovered music the day i discovered JM.. n m not a man.. :P

This early acoustic version sounds a whole lot darker.

you've made my day! wish there appeared something on JM website, there's been a lot of silence lately. I'm hoping the new record will be released in not so a distant future... any chance of sending these songs on my mail? I'm enchanted.

Its in D with a D harmonica.

omg kill me, so good

@MrDavidmarsden You're very welcome. I'm glad people are finding the video. Please share with all your friends. :)

"BORN AND RAISED" IS OUT IN THE U.K. AND IS NUMBER 1 ON itunes!!!!

Reminds me of Neil Young OMG!

Awesome shit

@violetskyye still very enjoyable, yes! all these videos are great. good job

Hey Violet! I loved this video. In fact, I loved it so much, I included in this Unofficial Music Video I made for "Whiskey, Whiskey, Whiskey." You're credited. Enjoy!

i love the people who hate the people who don't like ther harmonica!

i always prefer live songs than you hear the real musician and one thing is real this guy is the best musician i know

He's a good artist, so the live version will be better than the album. IMO

@thegreat4videos Thanks so much. I almost left my camera home Saturday, because I didn't feel like carrying it, and just grabbed it at the last minute. Phew!

Damn it... Now I have to get a harmonica.

This is like John Mayer's Nebraska phase

may 22nd!

he's gone countraaaayyy (...as everyone seems to be.) and i love it.

This song is so great, I mean all his songs are great but this one is a little bit deeper(for me).

@violetskyye is there any way I could convince you to send me a copy of all of these? Your footage from this show...you've done the music world a real service. Absolutely incredible.

it's about he goes back to what make him start playing in the first place

I love the people who love the people who hate the people who don't like the harmonica...

@Paradisecity1992 yes they are new

how comee he cant tourr? and alsoo i cant wait for the album! :)

@pearlude That sometimes happens w/ HD uploads with this camera. Usually, I'll delete and upload again, but this one had so many views already. Hope you can still enjoy it.

now i gotta learn to play the harmonica

Anyone know what chords he's playing in the bridge around 3:45? It sounds a little different than the album.

@vspot2505 clapton will always be my friend... jhon mayer is good though. his new folkish sound is fitting him

@GooseSS15 there's no "right" way to interpret art. that's why it's so powerful.

@PeterCRissKISSgod Well, Something Like Olivia ended up being played electrically with his band at Tiger Jam... and it's a G Blues. :D. So maybe there'll be a few bluesy tracks on there. Don't forget "Running Changes n.1"

yes these are better, i concur!

It's just a phase, it's not forever. :)

@Luuuukich Thanks. :-D

@postitdirty Thanks so much!

Had tickets may 4th :(

Born and Raised is OUT NOW!
