My most influential albums….

Although there are probably a hundred albums in between, here is a listing of the albums that got the most playing time in my life…

When I look back, some of these are kind of questionable… but I won’t make any apologies..

(If you’re a guitar player, and haven’t heard either Monte Montgomery album, go out and get one)

John Mayer – Austin, TX – 3/8/2010

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.
