I've been playing guitar for a while and I watch Mayer playing guitar and still watch in awe like viewing a magician pull a coin from my ear for the first time.
When sky blue gets dark enough To see the colors of the city lights A trail of ruby red and diamond white Hits her like a sunrise She comes and she goes Like no one can Tonight she's out to lose herself And find a high on Peachtree Street From mixed drinks to techno beats it's always Heavy into everything She comes and goes and comes and goes Like no one can She comes and goes and no one knows She's slipping through my hands She's always buzzing just like Neon, neon Neon, neon Who knows how long, how long, how long She can go before she burns away I can't be her angel now You know it's not my place to hold her down And it's hard for me to take a stand When I would take her anyway I can She comes and goes and comes and goes Like no one can She comes and goes and no one knows She's slipping through my hands She's always buzzing just like Neon, neon Neon, neon Who knows how long, how long, how long She can go before she burns away
@TH3MOUV3M3NT even though i heard the kevin cossom song before i heard john mayer perform this, im sure he got it from its original source and song title, "uncle tom's diner" and im more than positive KC sampled the song too
One of the best versions of Neon i've heard
that boy play with his soul
I've been playing guitar for a while and I watch Mayer playing guitar and still watch in awe like viewing a magician pull a coin from my ear for the first time.
fucking sick..
"When you try to learn Neon"'s face 2:49
Johns face when he sings "burns away" xD
video A++ clear, great quality and by far the best shot of him rocking 'toms diner' in the middle. Thanks alot man
Damn! That was by far the damn best neon I've heard. Shit was dope!
I like that alternate ending he did at 6:23 - 6:32.. Awesome stuff...
The intro and bridge solo are legendary.
madness? THIS IS NEON!
i don't understand how people can hate on his guitar playing... He's good, really good.
there are people hating his guitar playing??
hate?😂
Who tho?
Shut up
learning the regular version is hard enough, no one could ever be able to play anything close to this
Thanks for Sharing! I was at this concert, and it was great to re-live it through your video.
The Tom's Diner part blew me away. \\m//
how the crap can he top himself like that?? that was utterly amazing!
This is music.
That thing he does with the main riff at 0:25 is awesome
4:42 Did Fall Out Boy use this part for their song centuries? Sounds a lot like it.
PhantomNobu yes sweetie
No, it's a melody from a song called "Tom's Diner" which Fall Out Boy sampled on Centuries.
that was a beast. definitely gonna cover this song!
Hey, im from the future. You still havent covered this song
Best version of neon
this was an amazing show!
and this is an equally amazing video :)
Thanks for posting this gem!
beast.
5:10 He's using just his thumb? Like Victor Wooten? Or a combination of index finger and thumb...any ideas?
+Leon Naraine Thumb and index you got it
only thumb and index
John Mayer is good he covered himself.
simply AWESOME !!!
5:02
John Mayer: YEAH IM THAT GOOD!!!
5:14
Crowd: YEAH HE IS!!!!
still a very underated guitarist
superb talent
wonderful!!!
That's why I love John Mayer :)
oh lovely
When sky blue gets dark enough
To see the colors of the city lights
A trail of ruby red and diamond white
Hits her like a sunrise
She comes and she goes
Like no one can
Tonight she's out to lose herself
And find a high on Peachtree Street
From mixed drinks to techno beats it's always
Heavy into everything
She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can
She comes and goes and no one knows
She's slipping through my hands
She's always buzzing just like
Neon, neon
Neon, neon
Who knows how long, how long, how long
She can go before she burns away
I can't be her angel now
You know it's not my place to hold her down
And it's hard for me to take a stand
When I would take her anyway I can
She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can
She comes and goes and no one knows
She's slipping through my hands
She's always buzzing just like
Neon, neon
Neon, neon
Who knows how long, how long, how long
She can go before she burns away
This ain't no skill...it's lifetimes of devotion
sick.
Madness?
THIS... IS... MAYER!!!
The diner is referring to the song(Tom's Diner) that's being played in the solo.
sick!
OUT OF SIGHT!SKILLS!
Um dia tocarei assim
Eai?
@rgriffithmusic It is, it's called "Tom's Diner" by Suzanne Vega.
still trying this song😢
@SteelySin
Madness?
THIS IS JOHN MAYER!
dam..😲
the quality is hurting my ears but i am still watching........
Ikr lol John Mayer the only guy I go through ear rape for
This is not every song you listen till the damn end nowadays.
@bmawnz Thanks, that makes sense (thought it was a venue when I read the title!)
4:42 to 5:01 should be a song itself
yes, and it's the intro of "Tom's diner"
That's 'cause he's playing like he has "Tiger-blood" in him! ;)
good question xD
damn. that's a nice diner
@TH3MOUV3M3NT even though i heard the kevin cossom song before i heard john mayer perform this, im sure he got it from its original source and song title, "uncle tom's diner" and im more than positive KC sampled the song too
haha well I feel stupid. Thanks for clearing that up
that's how it's done ladies and gentleman :D
4:05

Wait! He can sing, while he is playing THIS! NO WAY !

I can answer that one. He is.
@FightThisOff Sure was

Very Where the Light Is-ish
Too good. This is why you shouldn't plan on getting famous if you can sing but only play chords.

@rgriffithmusic That's what I thought too ;)
He looks just like Charlie Sheen in that solo
