After seeing John Mayer for the eighth time, I can safely say I'd like to just go ahead and hit two more concerts this tour and make it an even ten. Too bad my current cash flow doesn't support my addiction to him. Opening act - Michael Franti - absolutely blew me away. His feel-good music had an overpowering ability to interact with the audience to make them (us, rather) feel like we had known each other for a good while. Maybe I was just starstruck seeing that he was five feet away from me through a whole song. Taking someone to a concert for his or her first time is like handing someone a Coca-Cola for the first time - uncontainable excitement, topped with an ear-to-ear grin. Highlights of the show were his covers of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams," Martin Sexton's "Glory Bound," and Jimi Hendrix's "Castles Made of Sand" (most likely only picked up by esoteric Hendrix fans). Below is the only video I was able to get before my camera battery died. It's somewhat bittersweet, but I was finally forced to watch the whole show through my own eyes and not through a camera screen. All in all, great show performed by great people, while myself was accompanied by great people.
I love every minute of it.
