John Mayer is one of the truest musicians of our time. I understand he has said some off color things but if you look past those very human mistakes, you can tell that he is a true, genuine artist that has written some of the best songs of the past 15 years.
@@freehat6894 he was arrogant for a while, he admitted to this himself and dislikes it now, he IS the 'queen of california', look up the lyrics. You're the one who seems to be offended here
Because he knows how to play it. I can play most JM songs on guitar, once you know how to play it, you can sing, talk over it, etc. It's not that tough.
This song, I cry every time. I lost my parents 3 mos apart in 85 and then LYme disease from 86 to present. I’m still here but my train is stuck on the tracks.
“I wanna tell you a story. I always think about my dad when I play this song and God bless him, he’s still running around this crazy world. My dad is 81 years old and he’s a historian of things that very few people are these days. I look at him like half like my beloved father and half like the library, you know half like the public library, you know. And he carries with him a lot of information and a lot of experience and I hope to someday be the kind of dude that he has been and is.
I was on this ship...his first one too. You can see has he's singing and looking out at everyone he's thinking, "I have a f-ing great life!" I know I was thinking it! Noone plays live like this guy.
(Cont. part 5) But he knows that he can’t see me and I think that’s what love is, is waving even when you know they…that you can’t see that they’re seeing you but you wave anyway. And I just think it’s the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.” You better thank me, because that took A LOT of time!
PLEASE READ THIS.. I cried, even before he tells the crowd the meaning of the song.. We always wish for things to be over, to be done.. but we never think that some people had little time left, that the times we wish is over, is the only time that was left for them. I learned this the hard way.. I always think of being 3 years from now.. Never thought that my grandma wouldn't make it in there.. Cherish your loved ones while you can..
The Magic of John Mayer. He's an architect, taking a loud, boisterous crowd, many whose eyes are scanning the crowd for what I don't know, and weaves his spell. He sings and injects his storytelling and not only quiets them into giving their absolute attention, but does so effortlessly with such skill and precision. Beautiful. A Master of this Art!
How he keeps his thumb on the low G to keep the bass going while he plays the verse is insane! Unless you have monster hands or a little guitar, it’s pretty much physically impossible.
(Cont.) But I’m playing this song and I have this memory in my head, and I think it sorta sums up what parenting is. Actually it sums up what truest love is, and it’s a story from when I was probably 18 or…19 years old. And I was taking the bus to the airport to fly back to Atlanta, cause I was…yeah, right? Cause I’d visited home for a second and also, you know, you’ve gotta understand my parents are educators, so it’s very difficult to tell them like
(Cont. part 4) Has anybody else ever do this? like call the limo and you go “Oh, we’re going on a limo ride?” No, they just shove you on the bus. And my dad puts me on the bus and the bus windows are tinted. So, I can only see him. He can’t see me. And he knows that he can’t see me, but he waves anyway. And he just keeps waving the whole time.
(Cont. part 3) “Yeah, I’m gonna be a rock star”, you know. I didn’t use those words. I still don’t use those words. But, it sorta just gives this sort of like unadulterated love like “I don’t get it, Johnny, but I love you, so you go, you go…apparently I’m getting phone calls from neighbors who say they’ve heard your music from their kids. So, I mean, something must be going on.” But my dad would drive me to the bus station…in Connecticut they call it Connecticut Limo.
lol that was great of you, man! I'm a brazilian too, but I can understand english well, so I didn't need this. But I would like to thank you anyway just in case the other guy doesn't. Thank you on behalf of all foreign fans across the world.
I am a big fan of John....but did anyone notice that Guy standing behind John in baige Tshirt , is he the brother "Reese" from MALCOM IN THE MIDDLE .. correct me if I am wrong.
@allanemariefp For a while there he said he was trying something new and sticking to one post at a time, and deleting all of the posts before the newest. I'm not sure if he's still doing it...
Yeah, I know what you mean, guitar's are expensive man! But I think buying a "regular" Martin, you know that a signature one, is better because you'll get more of your own sound instead of someone else's.:)
Love this song! One of my favorite songs to play and sing along to.. I actually posted a cover of it a couple days ago. You guys should go check it out and let me know what you think...

shut up
@@tomdijk5549 what did this kid get offended by I wanna know
@@matthiasfoo1217 yeaa i wanna know it too.
I still struggle playing that progression with the slap technique, and this lad is telling a story while nailing it . What a legend

@@whitewalker608 I mean I can play stop this train but keeping the right time is hard while singing.
@@ocean27 Practice with metronome. Once playing on time becomes muscle memory, you can concentrate on singing or talking easily.
@@whitewalker608 yeah ik. Im just lazy lol
@@ocean27 u got rekt b
John Mayer it's so damn good that he can be telling you a story and keep playing his song
that speech he made during the bridge made me tear up. i love you mom
Still loving you John Clayton Mayer❤
his lips are just made perfectly for whistling...and other things, i'm sure. what a gorgeous man.

he's fucking talking... while he's playing Stop this train.. "faint"
I just found out that there was this four day cruise with John Mayer in it, HOW COOL IS THAT???? I wish I was there...

You better thank me, because that took A LOT of time!
Obrigado amigo, você é um amigo

He must have 2 brains o-o amazing, and defenitely 2. Hearts

I am a teen and I can play this perfectly. Along with other hendrix techniques with thumb.
he looks like an australian tradie here
He’s great with using the thumb on low string like that. Does it in a few songs
I love this, the whistling was so pure and authentic. The storytelling was tearing me up. John is a good man.
Who's watching this in 2023?💋😎💋
John Mayer always shares a bit of his wisdom at every concert. His dad must me one great guy.
i'm realising that he is in fact hot
That story moved me to tears…❤️
I just fell in love with John all over again seeing this.
His memory about his father waving is adorable
i take that back. thats a really sweet story.
behind the asshole facade, he's just another sensitive soul. God Bless you John. Spend more time with your loved ones!
What a great hit said about His dad "Waving .....😭 so beautiful word
Precious. Waving to you from here. Even though you can’t see.
yo you don't understand How raw and like naked this performance is. It's pop star musician performing without all the flashy lights
+Oscar Muss Pop means Popular, he is a pop-artist
he's divine
How can you hate this man….
#10yearschallege , who knew 10 years later i finally saw his live performance
Aniston's line in Friends : he's so pretty i want to cry ..
Now that's some 2009 cool in the background lol
That story is beautiful.
This song just took us home.
i bet the part of the story he keeps to himself is that he can't stop crying as the bus pulls away from the bus stop. i know the feeling.
True artist! 🔥🔥❤️❤️
nice shirt

Average Joe it’s finger style
Yes he does!
@Jst0911 hahaha I don't know, I just saw them and got that vibe from them ! And enjoying music ?? Whenever it shows them they're talking !!!
Good old 'John!
when he is talking with the public he was playing the hurt
I am a big fan of John....but did anyone notice that Guy standing behind John in baige Tshirt , is he the brother "Reese" from MALCOM IN THE MIDDLE .. correct me if I am wrong.
00:18 "youre so freakin cool"
i think he says "it'll be freakin cold" xD
i wanna be as happy as the guy in the black tanktop next to the clock
Anyone else hear him start to play The Hurt at the very beginning?
0:06 anyone else think he's playing a bit of "The Hurt" ??
Lmao the lady in the background at 4:24
straight away to who did you think i was at the end
Only John Mayer is allowed to sing Stop This Train while on a ship.
He looks like Chris Cornell in this video
Album Continuum 2006
@allanemariefp For a while there he said he was trying something new and sticking to one post at a time, and deleting all of the posts before the newest. I'm not sure if he's still doing it...

how the hell can he talk and play guitar at the same time?! i find it very difficult...
Start singing b4 you put your foot bk n your mouth 😅😂 (jk)
I love that your engaging with the crowd.
Weird he doesn't finger pick the way the studio version is played. Looks more simplistic live,less notes which I like better for this song..
Wasn''t it a Carnival cruise?
@JG129 they probably are cause they're pissed john stole their girls haha
4:37..
Some dude: "82!! 82!!"
John mayer: "My dad is 81 years old...."
Sorry dude, you fail
Guy at 4:25 says this part is sloppy? Says the great musician lol pfft.
I think he said "she's sloppy dude" referring to a woman being drunk.
One idiot didn't like the song.

Man he looks high af
His voice was wasted poor guy
john mayer is a hell of a musician but hes got to stop acting like dave matthews on stage
