Me and my wife used to talk about Bob Dylan all day before we got married. I took her to her first concert which was John Mayer and he played this. It was so serendipitous that me and her sat there and knew we were meant to be together.
He thought about it but decided it would be too close to directly copying Jerry. Wanted something that nodded to him but was still unique (Source: Guitar World Magazine interview)
+Singh's I don't think soulfulness is depleted by playing a guitar solo, let alone an electric guitar. That's the same type of criticism Bob Dylan first got upon going electric. Nothing wrong with doing things a bit different. I thought this was tasteful.
+Elcocotero I really agree with you guys, Mayer covers Dylan in the sense that Hendrix would cover Dylan. Im a huge John Mayer fan but cant bear to watch him butcher Dylan songs, personally just dont think this style of blues rock does his songs justice.

Dylan is awesome. . John Mayer is awesome. . I haven't enjoyed anyone covering Dylan so much since when Jerry was still alive. ..
Best solo of JM.
He's feelin this so much. I love to see such passion, especially from the man himself
Worthy tribute to the Great Man
This actually sounds like Jerry Garcias guitar sound at times.
That solo!!!
They didn't even do the last verse. It kinda ties the song together..
It's an Alembic Further guitar
hey i can't thank you enough to record this. thanks a tonne !!
Awsome!! Seeing him next fri
Ashley L
killer solo
What happened to the last verse?
Surprised he didn't use the Further on the dead and co tour at all

JOHN MAYER: 🥀 So talented... So cute! Just HAD to point it out. 🙄 🎶 (San Francisco February 25th, 2018)
Why try to imitate Bob?
thumbs down for showing us his back
This song should have been an unplugged version..too much guitar in it :(
+Singh's I kinda agree with you. This is a song that shines through it's soulfulness, not guitar solos and licks. Didn't like it.
