And Mayer looks like he hasn't aged a day since 2007.

I actually think this was a pretty rough performance lol. In "Who did you think I was" John starts at a much slower tempo, Steve comes on drums at a much quicker tempo to the point John glanced and was like "wtf??" lol. In "wait til tomorrow" there was clearly a missed cue after his last solo cuz it's one of the few times I could see John eating it on a solo section and stiffened up physically. Reminded of myself at one of my shows when something goes awry! @18:07. All that to say, I didn't think it was that tight of a performance at all, but I'm STOKED they did this again. Trios are so hard to pull off.

TIL that Steve Jordan is older than Pino. Never realized that.

"Tight" it sounds like he's racing the drummer most of the time.

@@crosbycofod5052still a great performance, but yeah could feel that it wasn’t as together as they might’ve hoped. John’s voice also sounded quite tired in some of those higher passages as well

I actually caught that. They definitely weren't as tight as they were in 2007, but they still hyped me up.

@@philstreak2628 me too; it was great to see them re united!

He ate shit on the Wait Til’ Tomorrow solo honestly lol

I think we all just prefer the sound of JMs old dipper pickups, even though the PRS sounds amazing.

@@DRMCC0Y I’m strat Guy all day. But you can just hear how on the PRS almost sounds like a blanket over the mids/highs (muffled) still a great guitar i tried one the other day too. The pick ups definitely are factor but not the only thing making the difference here.

@@ericescanes the biggest difference in this video is because he’s playing his bridge pup on the PRS and the neck on his Hendrix strat. I own both his of his fender sig models and two Silver skies (original + The new SE) and they are both very clearly “strat”😅 sounding. The biggest difference between his real strats and his Silver skies is there’s a wider and more precise range on the tone control of the SSky. Personally I think it’s more noticeable when he switches amps over switching between two single coil guitars

@@ericescanesprs has all the “hair” filtered out. From an audio engineering perspective it’s perfect… too perfect. Hence, i prefer the strat

playing one of the worst guitars ever.

facts.

Facts.

Hahaha. Right? We assume Bill did this on purpose???

@@jusflow9182 I thought so when he first said it, but the way he kept calling him Dino makes me thinks it was an actual mistake

i'd like to be positive so maybe it came from his pallaDINO just like some people have bits of their last names being their nicknames.

Thanks !!!

tks!!

Or at least trying to....took John a while to catch up.

It was a mess. Lol.

@@darrenmiffitt6353 yeah! I could see how it would still sound great at John’s tempo but Steve really ramped it up. Maybe somewhere in the middle.

:(

Can you send a time stamp to show us what you mean? Because I don’t have any idea what you’re talking about.

@@lloydsnyder7277 well , It's all around the solo mate and particularly at 17:14 . :)

Looks like someone hasn't heard of a little drummer called, Carter Beauford, DMB huh? only kidding. Steve is in my top three

definitely my favourite ever

Nate Smith would like to have a word

@@annakatakanna it's just a matter of taste and the "best" is a childish concept, but in my opinion the great drummers are those who have made great music, "history".

@@tommylee85 okay but why single me out though hahah

100% agree Ben! These moments are special

I believe it was in 2015… I went to see John Mayer with my wife in Tinley Park, IL. Halfway through his set there was an intermission. When the lights went back out they put up the Trio logo on the big screen on stage and I about lost my shit. I had NO idea there was going to be a set by them. I was absolutely blown away. The intensity of these three guys together, it’s really something special. These are the moments we are going to regard just like people who saw the greats back in the day. He will be regarded as one of them. This is sheer bliss.

@@electropicks he doesn't play an SE... Also, the guitar he plays on Wait Until Tomorrow is actually a Monterrey Strat and it sounds brilliant.

@@jeroenvk94 thats my bad i didnt see the second part until after i read this comment lol

@@jeroenvk94 I LOVE that guitar so much! Just seeing it makes me happy...takes me back to seeing the Trio in an aftershow at a teeny bar in Philly. I was directly in front of him and he almost kicked my beer over. It wasn't even really a stage....just a platform. Gah! Miss those days where he was still accessible. Now, it's only giant arenas. :(

Agreed 200%. One of the best live versions of this song for sure!

It's good, but similar to other performances like the Wembley video. And It's a brief set, so it lacks a great free-form intro like the incredible "John Mayer Trio Vultures with awesome intro!" video.

@@skierpage I love this version too

You can say that again. Sheer audio bliss.

Correct. The Fender Strat just feels right for the sound. I had the same feeling when I heard both instruments.

Haha! Well said

John started who did you think I was at a slower tempo than usual and Steve kinda forced him to play it faster lol .

@@nigel5634 i noticed this and thought i was triippin. whole thing sounded out of sync for the first 30 seconds

Yeah, there’s definitely an unpracticed edge to the performance, but you’ve got to imagine that Where the Light is performance everyone’s definitely comparing it to was recorded deep into a tour so they were polished to perfection by that point.

@@iswearnotme i agree, a little rough in the beginning.

The beginning is one thing, but John seems a little stiff in the beginning but the mix is also a little off. The guitar is very loud. But hey - it’s not a trio concert. They just get to play a few songs. Oh and wait until tomorrow feels so slow 😅

Probably didn't get much of a soundcheck with all the acts on that night. But yeh, Steve's BV's didn't even seem to be in the mix

might be a nickname like Short for Palladino? Nevermind. the music stand for itself. Their great!

face-meltingly epic, loved it!

Mostly due to the vocal surgery he had to have. Lost a couple notes off of his high end.

@@thetomatoist1 didn't know that. Thanks for the info.

this comment is stupid

It is only because he puts more drive in his sound

@@marc-antoinejean6428 this is it.

@@marc-antoinejean6428 I don’t think so, I feel even with the PRS if he drove, it more it would get even muddier. To me it just had a really mid boosted tone to it and the Strat just had so much more clarity and tone depth

@@freddymorales4932 yep PRS sounded weird in this clip for sure.

Yeah I think Steve thought he was gonna keep the solo going a bit longer and didn't catch that John had switched back to his clean rhythm sound. It all worked out though, smooth recovery by Johnny!

@@dr05guitar agree. seems like Steve's zoned in too much or something. Even the second and final attempt almost didn't work

@@captainbackfirejr haha you're right! he just about missed it the 2nd time too...I think he was just feeling the rock out vibe!!

He should really go back strats

Drummer is kinda weird/off the beat

I noticed that too

🦕

He was just sort of first in his generation of, i dont wanna say, white blues/ rock

Ridiculous and childish to even compare😅

Of course!!

Music ain't a competition
