So first night impressions while I’m still conscious….jesus.. how much better it was than it could have been…or I would have imagined…sooo many were critical of trey before fare the well and many more were damming john before he played a single note and the stage was even set. But like trey, john proved more than ample to the the task at hand…which i must admit is a bit surprising to most including myself…. While trey had had 30 plus years of crazy jamming under his belt john certainly had less credentials…unless you consider his sexual conquests..which well…fuck…all males under 30 might be jealous of…i have made a few jokes about the k.perry and the t.swift…but tonight all was forgotten after an opening playing in the band which one might expect in the 2nd set… cold rain led to tennessee and then to a stranger which might have had some significance for mayer and oteil if not for a rare 1st set he’s gone….of course that evokes the usual cast…how many have we lost..too many to count…and not just the band but the deadicated few who remain to examine every note played…taper’s and steamers, credit is due to keep the masses in their faith…birdsong continued that reminiscence..leading to our eternal hope…may the music never stop…
a long set break gave us oldies a much needed time to recoup..how do bobby, mickey and billy do it???!! without some much needed external boost i would probably be asleep by now!  So out comes a sailor saint…not my fav but saint was well done and kept me going to mayer’s double black diamond of help/slip/frank…one wonders at this point if the discussion backstage was like…fuck it let’s blow some minds early on in this tour… so well was this played i’m tempted to say trey could have done better than he did…but fuck..i love trey and without him this would have probably never happened so he get’s a gold pass in my imaginary dead hall of fame!!!
drums…oh my god….like fare the well i can’t get enough of billy and mickey working together…rhythmic nirvana with a bit of space to follow….classics continue into the night with an other one>stella>nfa which actually had me bummed cause i knew then the night was drawing to a close…touch was a bit rough but by then we all were blown away…so who gave a fuck..not me…i’m stoked for another 20 shows…and all ready thinking mayer should give up his pop career and do what we all want to do…follow the dead till the attics of our lives come crashing down upon us all!!! all the best y’all and sorry for this drunken review posted at 2:22 friday morn…while my buzz is still good!!!
