A John Mayer Experience

Michael, Ryan, and I went to the John Mayer concert on Wednesday June 30.  We had decent seats, although Ryan probably would have enjoyed being front row (just to be closer to his, dare I say, man crush).  I don't know, John Mayer does have his good days.  Anyways, we got to the amphitheater just as the the first act was finishing.  I think his name was Brett Dennan, who started at 7:00.  Colbie Caillat went on at 7:50.  She did a really good job and I like the sound of her voice.  It's relaxed and earthy, if that makes sense...but probably not.  And I'm not going to lie, I was pretty jealous that she was wearing a tank top and I wasn't.  It was HOT.  Enough said.  John Mayer was supposed to come on at 9:00.  Ryan and I both commented that we had never seen such long breaks in between acts.  At about 9:03, he came out in all his glory.  The lights went low and every girl was screaming like crazy...especially the girl right behind us.  A guy came out, put a guitar over his shoulder, and started to sing.  I was really confused for a few minutes as I tried to figure out who was singing.  Here is the description of the person who was on stage: shaved head, baggy black tank top, black cut off pants, and tennis shoes with the biggest tongue I had ever seen.  Well, it was in fact John.  I was expecting at least a t-shirt and jeans.  I decided later he was probably just trying to keep things interesting while on tour.  Dressed up or not, he was awesome.  He played "Say," which I really like.  He wrote it for "The Bucket List," a really good movie that made me cry, cry, cry.  John also played a new single (which features Herbie Hancock) called "Stitched Up."  It's a fun song and sure to get your toes tappin!  Ha.  But really, you should check it out on itunes.  Then, as if the concert wasn't enough, there was a potential for two fights to break out.  Both involved people standing while everyone else was sitting, making it hard to see the stage.  

It was a great concert!
