John Mayer played a fantastic show at the Erwin Center on March 8, 2010. I was fortunate enough to have 7th row tickets. This was my third time seeing a Mayer show and I’d say this was probably the best. The show seemed short but clocked in at about an hour and a half. He played many of the songs off of the new Battle Studies Album but threw in some favorites from the past.
The set was incredible. A very nice laser light/projection show behind the band provided some interesting effects as well as some video footage. The PA was loud but clear and clean. Unlike much of the video footage I’ve seen on YouTube, he didn’t do a lot of talking but there was some good banter. Highlights of the show were definitely “Assassin” and a great rendition of “Aint No Sunshine”. Legendary drummer Steve Jordan also pounded out a memorable and masterful solo.

Aspiring singer/songwriter from Austin, TX. Would like to someday travel the world playing music and visit Las Vegas as many times as physically possible before I die. I love playing Texas Hold'em but don't do it very well.
I’ve been playing guitar since the age of 10 and am currently recording some songs at Wonderland Studio in Austin, TX.
Unfortunately, I do not read music and cannot provide you with any of the tabs to any of the songs I play. However, I will tell you that I frequently use a double dropped D tuning.
Influences: Glen Hansard (the frames, the Swell Season), John Mayer, Bob Schneider, Doyle Bramhall II, and Monte Montgomery.
