Good Love Is On The Way

Saw John Mayer in Omaha last night. I will say that I expected a good show. I was not in the least bit disappointed. He was fantastic. To me, a decent concert is one where the performer sounds at least as good as the CD. A good concert is one where you don't feel like the CD does the music justice. A phenominal concert is where I found myself last night. One where the songs are expanded, improvised, ad-libbed. Where the musicians gel together so well, each note is played in such a manner where you feel like you're invited to join the most intimate of friendships. Where it is about more than just playing "the hits".... where the listener is infected with the drive, the passion, the force behind the song. Where the artist continuously finds himself in "that place" and then invites the audience in to where he is for milk and cookies.

I'm sure that doesn't really make sense to anyone but me, but let it be said that the concert last night far exceeded any hopes or expectations that I had. I would go see him again in a heartbeat. For once, I think Rolling Stone has it right.
