You feel cool as hell listening to it. The album art rocks. Clearly THE blueprint for both John Mayer and Eric Clapton.

this is one of my favorite live albums everrrrr actually probably top three but only bc i cant think of any others rn lol⌠my dad plays the guitar and has a love hate relationship with john mayer: loves him bc of his bluesy passion and talent and loves his songs and covers⌠hate bc he is jealous that it comes so easily to john and he was so young and talented and can create magic on a guitar HAHA but we love john mayer regardless⌠i grew up listening to this in the car on the way to kindergarten, on the house stereo system on the weekends, and eventually on my teal ipod nano. my favorites are obviously gravity, slow dancing in a burning room, vultures, and i donât trust myself loving you mostly bc the guitar in those is soooooo beautiful i donât even know how he makes the guitar sing but i melt every time i listen. i am obsessed with and possibly attracted to this album in a strange way i cannot understand but i fall to my knees spiritually everytime. i know all the adlibs and sing like i am the guitar and this is such a silly thing to be so passionate about but it truly boggles my mind. i never listen to studio john mayer anymore, only live. and thatâs all thatâs my rec. happy monday!

live session at paradise studios with Leon Russell. JJâs soft vocal on this session is much better than the record version.

This song makes me want to go full Heath-Ledger-with-a-marching-band.
Itâs the fourth track on Johnâs fifth album, Slow Dazzleâ a record of art rock and noir pop; gloom, glam and gore. Featuring, among others, Brian Eno and Phil Manzanera (then of Roxy Music), and Chris Spedding.
The album opens with an (apparently unappreciated) love letter to Brian Wilson, and ends with a revenge fantasy written after Kevin Ayerâs slept with Johnâs wife (also presumably unappreciated).
Beyond this point you will find: a psychotic interpretation of an Elvis standard, orchestral torch songs, âdirty-ass rock ânâ rollâ, murder and misery, snow sports and California wine. Enter with abandon. Welcome to the slow dazzle.Â
