John Mayer is on tour with his band, and played in San Francisco last night. He made reference to one of his new friends in the area, and brought out his Dead & Company band mate, big boss man, and chief, Bob Weir!
They were an enthusiastic, but very polite audience. While there was some chat during the show, not much boorish,obnoxious, or abrasive noise, just normal chat. I had an adorable young couple on a date in front of me, wasn’t going to shush their cooing.
The audience knew the songs, cheered when they started, and sang the right parts. I must admit, I barely knew two songs. Overall I thought the second set way more satisfying musically (even without Bob Weir). I am glad this pop music fan base like *guitar* music!
I thoroughly enjoyed going out to this event, and while it was not like going to a Dead & Company show, or most of the concerts I cover, I had a good time. I will give a more detailed review soon! Enjoy the photos, setlist is blow, and a full video of set II at the bottom of this post!
