"Manish Boy" was a message from Mayer to the world that he is now grown up and tested everything so he is ready to settle at being what he really is. A blues man! (I hope!)
I really hope that what he is going for, i watch an interview where he said for his next album hes going to go back to his roots. Which is of course blues.
John never failed to impress people who loves great music, that's why he's my fave artist! way to go Johnny!!! i hope you can release your new album this year. Can't wait to see your MVs and listen to your awesome songs. 😊 love you man!!! 😘
Don't matter if those kids have heard these classics before,they have now and that is the beauty of it.John Mayor covers many blues and rock/folk essentials in masterful,stylish,fresh but reverent form.Glad to know a musician of his caliber is carrying and passing the torch.
John Mayer is a new artist, that's really famous and it's playing CLASSIC BLUES, for god's sake, the dude is keeping the roots of music alive ! I don't like this version so much, but I think that we have to be grateful to have some artist playing this kind of music on the mainstream scene...(although I don't like this cover, John's stuff is usually awesome)
you nailed it! Although I personally think this cover is great! The thing with John's covers is he doesn't play the original version, he makes a version of himself, you know? Atleast, that's my view ^^
casper van helvoirt for sure, usually i love his renditions, but in my opinion this cover of his was to similar to the original one (check Hendrix's cover of mannish boy, I find it mind blowing)
im from england ,,but my music is otis redding sam cooke,etc ..i came across this wippasnapper by accident ,hes young ,but brilliant voice n guitar work,,
RaulSouza yes a new artist from 2001. well okay maybe 1999. the blues was john's influence, and he went back to it during the gap between heavier things and the making of continuum
A cover is a cover. Not one person will play or produce a note the same way another does. Everyone has their own way of doing it.. It makes no sense to argue that Mayer did not sound "Muddy" or bluesy enough for their liking.
I miss the old 2003 to 2008 john mayer. There is something about the music he wrote at the the time that was just better than his stuff now. But he is still a god on guitar
Aye! I was there too. Definitely not the right festival for him. Everyone was there for Kanye haha. And those dudes climbing on top of that roof during gravity... disrespectful
Chris Vo Not quite. 'Battle studies was' fake as hell. Born and raised is where he really stopped giving a fuck about what the public thought of his music. Continuum was great though.
Ryan Wennekes So you think the artist shouldn't give a fuck about what the public thinks? Maybe you're right, I just wanna know your reason for saying so.
Juan Gonzalez I kinda do believe the same. But to some extends. Like Ryan said: In Born and Raised he just put his own thoughts, his own love and his own heart into the music, not caring about what the public was expecting from him! But take note: Continuum was a mix of both: Caring what the public wants and adjusting his own vision and heart a bit so it is a mix of the public's expectancy and his own feeling and love, and I mean, Continuum is some kind of album you feel me ;)
I love the hater comments. JM isn my favorite guy, but come on he kills here. In addtion, "pick up an weapon and stand post". Get a $hitar, a cheap amp and a mic and try it. Not so easy.
I don't like his new backing band lineup. I prefer the days of JJ Johnson, Robbie McIntosh, David Ryan, & DeLa...that's when his live shows were the best IMHO
Lol are you high? Pino paladino and Steve Jordan makes his songs sound better than in the studio. Mayer live now compared to ten years ago is like night and day.
It wasn't necessarily bad, it was just a different part of the music back then. Although the OG band with JJ, McCintosh, Dela & DRH is one of the best, I didn't mind this band that much.
power is made by power being taken power is made by pure manipulation we keep on rolling to protect our situation cuz we're born through the fire and this is what it takes to take us even higher well I do well I do see this world is testing me testing me testing A+
Obviously there is only one Steve Jordan, the king of in the pocket groove. But since Mayer has so many different facets of his music, I think Aaron Sterling is the best fit to play MAYER’s overall catalog as a whole. With that said, no, I do not like how Mayer and the band played Vultures from summer 2010 with Keith Carlock through 2013 and 2014 with Aaron Sterling. BUT you have to check out the 2019 performances of Vultures, especially from the MSG and LA Forum shows where he played Continuum start to finish. Finally they played it at the original tempo, Aaron has “that” essential detuned fat snare drum, and he lays back and plays it with a deep pocket like it’s supposed to be played. Check THAT out! I think you’ll change your mind
Andrea Andriolo Yeah I get what you're saying. It's like you're saying Mayer's Gravity is the best and it is so much better than the Jonas Brother's version. WELL NO SHIT.
Um, I'm just surmising but I would say that after he had that issue with his vocal chords he adopted a much healthier lifestyle and stopped drinking so much of his beloved scotch. I think the weight loss is part and parcel with that lifestyle change.
Love the way Mayer decides to cover a blues classic in front of an audience who could never appreciate it lol, he's a true beacon for the blues.
Lol ikr that's why black people have always loved John Mayer
@@Shel230 true
"Manish Boy" was a message from Mayer to the world that he is now grown up and tested everything so he is ready to settle at being what he really is. A blues man! (I hope!)
We all hope so, brother :)
Oh yes! Blues suits him the best! What a great tone this guy has!!
Amen!
I really hope that what he is going for, i watch an interview where he said for his next album hes going to go back to his roots. Which is of course blues.
Ben Garner Can you link me the interview? I'm really curious :)
Man his guitar tone is gorgeous
He consistently has some of the best tone I've ever heard.
Prefer Muddy
Eric Clapton signature
Sounds like Clapton’s 90s tone
Most of the people there have no clue what blues is.
***** They're just waiting for Kanye. Lol
salty
Muddy waters is awesome
John never failed to impress people who loves great music, that's why he's my fave artist! way to go Johnny!!! i hope you can release your new album this year. Can't wait to see your MVs and listen to your awesome songs. 😊 love you man!!! 😘
Lol no you just like him cause he's white I'm sure you have no clue who muddy waters or bb king or other black guitarist are lol clown

This is probably just about the best I've ever heard John sing

he was influenced by blues and not harry styles and ed sheeran, thats the difference
Fantastic modern take on a pure American classic.
I almost forgot to watch this today.
5.42... I'm the one holding the license plate
Wow! So cool!!!
Wow! So cool!!!
Cool
Aye! I was there too. Definitely not the right festival for him. Everyone was there for Kanye haha. And those dudes climbing on top of that roof during gravity... disrespectful
You are a really small lady...its rly cool tough
The only thing I hate about the videos from MIA fest of John are that the audio on his guitar is TOO FUCKING QUIET!
Oh I WOULD SAY HE IS THE MAN ✔💯 IN MY WORLD 🌎 AMAZING MAN @JOHNMAYER THANKS FOR SHARING 👍👏👏👏EVERYTHING GONNA BE ALRIGHT THIS MORNING 🤗❤❤❤👀👀👀
He knew what he was doing with those glasses and suspenders.
.
I never liked him until today. All I can say is, WOW!
Yesss
01:49 John Mayer spelling “man”: M-A-Y haha. Nice version tho. Come on, what other pop artist will perform Manish Boy? That is quite manish haha.
Juan Gonzalez he is most definitely done with his 'pop' days. he went back to his true self in the making of continuum
Chris Vo Not quite. 'Battle studies was' fake as hell. Born and raised is where he really stopped giving a fuck about what the public thought of his music.
Continuum was great though.
Ryan Wennekes songs like Edge of Desire, Heartbreak Warfare, Do You Know Me etc are NOT fake as hell dude, they're meaningful and heartfelt
Ryan Wennekes So you think the artist shouldn't give a fuck about what the public thinks? Maybe you're right, I just wanna know your reason for saying so.
Juan Gonzalez I kinda do believe the same. But to some extends.

YES JOHN MAYER IS A TALENTS UPPER IN PLAYER AND SINGER BLUES ....SINCE JOHN THE FUTUR N1 GUITARIST IS YOU I LIKE YOUR PERFECT STYLE JACKYFAN 👍FRANCE.
Can the owner of this video please send it to me! This was one of the best experiences of my life
MUDDYS WATER THE KING " original version "
Duhhhhh of course but the version here is quiet good.
The great Jim Keltner on the second set of drums.
no gold guitar :(
I don't have an apple, THAT WAS NOT MY COMPUTER WTF I AM BEING HIJACKED
No offense to John Mayer or Zane Carney, but Doug Pettibone is one tasty guitar player. His playing is so cool at the start of this.
He's played classic blues.
Now he's a man.
5:25 TONE!!!!!
Wasn't this guy on the Chappelle show back in the day?
+StrongestGod yeah that was him, the skit where white people love electric guitar. super funny
such a badass
I love the hater comments. JM isn my favorite guy, but come on he kills here. In addtion, "pick up an weapon and stand post". Get a $hitar, a cheap amp and a mic and try it. Not so easy.

Lol are you high? Pino paladino and Steve Jordan makes his songs sound better than in the studio. Mayer live now compared to ten years ago is like night and day.
Pino and Steve are awesome. David Ryan joined them on tour with Mayer this year.
The band in this video is trash though, agreed. Souless country music band.
It wasn't necessarily bad, it was just a different part of the music back then. Although the OG band with JJ, McCintosh, Dela & DRH is one of the best, I didn't mind this band that much.
How could you get this video ?? if you have this yet , can you share the link or files??
when was this?
Ai sim é música classico do grande Muddy Waters
5:26 🔥
power is made by power being taken power is made by pure manipulation we keep on rolling to protect our situation cuz we're born through the fire and this is what it takes to take us even higher well I do well I do see this world is testing me testing me testing A+
Why is he playing with two drummers at the same time ? Isn't it so weird ?
3:00
this crowd is awful
They dont even sing john's song.
I think i like william shatner's version better :)
Not even close.
I hope he didn't do this here. This audience don't fucking know what this music is.
anyone who thinks aaron sterling fits john mayers band more than steve jordan is simply wrong!
Obviously there is only one Steve Jordan, the king of in the pocket groove. But since Mayer has so many different facets of his music, I think Aaron Sterling is the best fit to play MAYER’s overall catalog as a whole.

I think you’ll change your mind
@@joshscus sterling would never replace Jordan playing blues and trio stuff tho
This is so Bland! No feelings, no Blues. Even Vaughan has much more feelings
In your opinion
Amin1710 So true!
I love John Mayer but this version of Mannish Boy has nothing to do with Muddy Waters version.
Muddy Waters version is the best
Andrea Andriolo Yeah I get what you're saying. It's like you're saying Mayer's Gravity is the best and it is so much better than the Jonas Brother's version. WELL NO SHIT.
Well, I think Johnny Cash made some songs better on his last albums. But mostly it's true, yes.
Why John is so skinny now? Is he sick or something?
Um, I'm just surmising but I would say that after he had that issue with his vocal chords he adopted a much healthier lifestyle and stopped drinking so much of his beloved scotch. I think the weight loss is part and parcel with that lifestyle change.
It's obvious! He never heard the Great Muddy Waters singing "Mannish Boy"!...
Not bad for a white boy.
Mannish boy chantée par un blanc bec !!! Mudy waters top
Lacks the punch of the original..sounds weak.
He plays well , but he doesnt have feeling that needs to play this kind of music...
and what about this glasses??? its not rock'nroll
I don't like this cover of his so much, but come on man, it's not glasses that are rock'n'roll, rock is music
along with the fact that Buddy Holly wore a similar pair
And Roy Orbison, Elvis Costello etc...
the most boring version of this song ever
Did you hear that solo?
Yeah, crap tone, predictable, safe, no real passion or dynamics. Just hyped up ,run of the mill, cheesy drivel
Rowan Leaf Crap tone?! Sounds like butter to me.
Rowan Leaf hahahahahahahahaha
LOL!!! Aside from Muddy Water's version, Hendrix's version was an excellent one.
Sorry this was not good
