Sunny room for squares collegiate already graduated to headlining Bluesfest in Byron Bay this year and in the years between , has become almost as (in) famous for the women he is lying (and bragged about ) than for his musical output .
Commenting half concert Tuesday night in their longevity, said the cool thing to achieve in his career is that everyone loves things early and then dismissed their biggest hit, the Grammy Your body is a Wonderland as “Lego blocks “. Instead, Mayer "a song with a little bit of depth and girth " was launched, waiting the day of his latest blues album, Paradise Valley last year.
Visiting Australia for the first time in four years , Mayer was not bad or stupid enough to fully retain the first material - No such thing and wait on the world to change were notable inclusions - but his two-hour set drew more heavily on their rate preferred rootsy , Paradise Valley and 2011 Born and Raised , the adjusted and expanded to allow Mayer to show his considerable guitar skills and excellent band songs.
Fortunately for Mayer, the crowd, a curious mix of both sexes and all ages (including a bunch of guys screaming, "I love you John!") Seemed to enjoy hearing his new material as much as he clearly reveled in I play it.
Plenty of covered varied in their impact. His now famous shot of Tom Petty Free Fallin ' was perfectly adequate while adding nothing to the original. More interesting was an acoustic, slowed down version of Lionel Richie All Night Long, but unfortunately we did not try to cover XO Beyonce played in Adelaide last week.
When he's not bragging about his romantic conquests in media interviews (Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Aniston), Mayer is writing songs about them (Paper Doll is a reply to Dear John Taylor Swift acid) and sometimes with them (Who you love on his latest album is a duet with his most recent ex, Katy Perry), but another track Paradise Valley played towards the end of the night hinted a desire for less complicated times.
Dear Marie, a love letter to the class last girlfriend I had before becoming famous, asked to "tell me what he used to be." It is a plaintive and heartfelt climax, which, combined with the indulgent but impressive guitar solo in the encore track, gravity makes the longevity of Mayer seems deserved. However, it would have been nice to hear that song Lego block.
