John Mayer: Where the Light Is - Live in Los Angeles [Blu-ray]

If there's one thing that John Mayer makes clear on this concert release, it's that he's not just the handsome pop-rock star that he has been painted as throughout his rise to fame. Mayer is really a man of two talents: A knack for catchy singer-songwriter radio hits, and some serious talent on blues guitar to the point where he's played with the likes of Eric Clapton and Herbie Handcock.

"Where the Light Is" works as both a showcase piece and perception-breaker for Mayer, who plays three distinct sets in a single night in L.A. The concert holds an loose and intimate feel, filmed in an appropriately conservative manner to allow viewers to observe the nuances of the performance.

Highlights include a fantastic surprise Tom Petty cover to close the acoustic set, and a surprisingly rollicking trio set where Mayer pulls out continuous blues licks like a kid in a candy store.

The fantastic visual quality of this blu-ray release is certain not to disappoint. It will satisfy longtime John Mayer fans, as well as turn the heads of those who may have written him off in the past. It is an excellent value by any standard, and a standout performance.

I bought this for my wife she loves John Mayer. I liked a few of his songs but after watching this Blu Ray I have to say he is awesome very talented and gifted guitar player and performer.
I highly recommend buying this Blu Ray you will not be disappointed. You can listen to the tracks in PCM 2.0 or TRUE HD 5.1 both sound great. I preferred the 5.1 it was like we were at the concert.
The picture and sound is amazing. There is nothing from what I can see or hear the picture is clear and crisp and the sound like I said before it is like you are there.. If you have a good receiver and Blu Ray player that can decode the HD audio and a HDTV for the 1080p Picture and some good speakers you are set to go. Sit back and enjoy my family did and it is one of my best purchases this year.

Prior to purchasing this Blu-ray DVD, I didn't know a thing about John Mayer. After watching this BD-DVD, I can honestly say I'm a fan. His performances in each of his three "incarnations" are outstanding and the video and audio quality are also excellent (mind you I'm accustomed to watching regular digital cable TV without HD).

Awesome audiophile sound on this disc. Other than the Rolling Stones concert this is a great disc to use for showing off your home theater! Video quality , excellent as well.

I buy discs rarely. I usually just rent from Netflix, which is where I managed to find this gem. I liked John Mayer's music before, I appreciate the man's talent even more after watching this live performance.
If you like his album Continuum or the bluesy John Mayer Trio, you should definitely check this out. His voice and skills with the guitar shine in this performance. On Blu-Ray the quality of the video stands out as well.
I'm buying this one, it merits playing over and over.
