Best John Mayer Album

Dreadhead I've been to 65 Dead shows and felt that way about Phish back in 1989. I then caught a few Phish shows and was hooked. I've seen about 30 shows since. You should really give them a shot, particularly live stuff from 1990-1996. They are a jam band yes, but not at all a cover band. They are super talented and play unique and inventive music. It's pretty easy to dismiss something that you've never checked out yourself, do yourself a favor, open your mind and your ears.

Check out the live in LA album. http://www.amazon.com/Where-Light-John-Mayer-Angeles/dp/B0019IB26I/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1236390259&sr=8-1

Jond, thanks for the advice. I saw Trey live with a band I can't remember and I am also a big fan of Oysterhead.
I saw John Mayer open for the Rolling Stones in a trio. Very guitar oriented. They played Hendrix. I was not impressed. I did love his skit on the Dave Chappell Show. He seems like a decent guy and gets all the good poon- tang, you gotta admire that.

Musically speaking, Phish really is completely different from the Dead. They are both known for extended improvised jams, but beyond that the thing they both have is a lot of hippie fans who who are there for the scene at least as much as they're are there for the music, and follow them on tour from show to show. But they are tremendously talented, and if you wanna check out some of their live stuff, they are allowing free downloads (mp3) of this weekend's shows for a limited time...

Sorry to hijack this thread. The only John Mayer album I have is Room for Squares. I like it, but would like to check out some of his later stuff.

John Mayer's performance on a recent live BB King gig I saw on the tube was pretty, cool, pretty neat, esp. the tune, Gravity. Was it BB King and Friends? Maybe. With Eric Clapton and possibly Johnny Winter.
