  • This is original early stage performance of John Mayer and David Labruyere. I have had this video since 2000, from when John's career was at the very beginning, and recently found it. It has some amazing songs, and I hope you all enjoy!

    I love how he messes up the beginning of the "Neon" riff but then saves himself. The ol' classic stage presence "I meant to do that" trick.
    Love it.

  • @EricPerkinsMusic
    @EricPerkinsMusic Před 7 lety +273

    That moment when you saw John Mayer mess up on Neon (26:57) then he covers it up to make you think he didn't mess up and you consider the fact that he may have did it on purpose......mindblown

      @goodtogo2876 Před 4 lety +1

      Well Jesus what is he supposed to do? Appologise to the audience and go off stage? Of course he's going to pretend that there was no mistake, every guitarist that playes on stage will tell you to do that.
      Now, of course the way John does it is awesome, cause he is such an awesome player... But it's not like the concept of hiding mistakes is new.

    • @mragunathan1627
      @mragunathan1627 Před 6 lety +13

      well this was in 1998, so hes roughly 21 here, and he'd been playing since he was 13, 8 years, i figured he would be playing around 20 hours a week(which is quite conservative), so i lowballed it to around 7000 hours, i reckon its very conservative, he probably already crossed 10k hours by this point

      David LaBruyere is one of the reasons why John has had success. Dela plays in a unique way, by including in the basslines instruments that aren't actually playing but would be great to have in the mix. And has great skills.

    I imagined I was in that audience, hearing him for the first time. Comfortable strikes me as a great song right off. I would be thinking, what a great writer. Neon blows me away for the incredibly clean and subtle guitar work. Funky and tight. All the elements are there in this performance but it would be 2 yrs. before the debut album would be released. So, even after the No Such Thing CD was released he had to perform these tunes for around four years or more total. That's 2 yrs. before the release, and a couple of years after the release. Incredible!
