John Mayer - Old Love (@ the Red Rocks) Audio Only

Morrison, Colorado - 7/7/04
John Mayer plays a classic written by Eric Clapton and Robert Cray. The second of the two solos you will hear is played by bandmate David Ryan Harris, who has long been John's second guitar/vocalist.
I have heard many, many other versions of this cover by John, but this specific track is unparalleled by anything else in terms of its: audio quality (especially for a fan recording), content (both Mayer and David Ryan Harris play particularly well together in the song as a whole), length (at 10 minutes long, nothing is spared), and individuality (John strays from Clapton's original and makes it more of his own).
Please enjoy my contribution. As a fan of him myself, it is my hope that within any of these ten minutes, you will be compelled to agree with John's rightful belonging as one of the greatest blues musicians of our time--an idea which is slowly gaining ground with the public but not nearly as accepted enough.

The fact this was 20 years ago 😮
I love Eric Clapton but truth told this Is the best version I’ve ever heard !!!!!
superb , but have a listen to the King King version I think it rivals it.
u gotta watch the eric clapton live at madison square garden version man, unless u already have. That version just hits me in my soul.
@@jackpierre1839 do you know what year?
I’m from there might have been at the show
@@josephgrumet i think its 99. just look up "Old Love(amazing live version)" should be posted by a channel called "dginush"
My favorite thing about Mayer is that he never lets go of his roots...the roots that made him play. Clapton, Hendrix, SRV, BB King just to name a few are the musicians that he still covers to this day. Great musicians admire each other. Tuck 'em and kiss it if you don't like Mayer...you simply don't want to acknowledge greatness that stares at you through a 6-string.
One of the best comment I've heard someone post of Mayer.
you're a wise person
Eric Clapton must be proud 😊
John has said who his favorite guitar player is. Robert Cray.
i say mayer should go down as one of the greats io, he has a tremendous respedct for the past, like Bonomassa does
I mean, I don't know. He might be THE greatest musician of all time. I wouldn't ever burden someone with that title, but if I was going to, it might be him. Just the fact that you consider he's possibly in the top 100 means you agree with me on a certain level. Oh yes, and I'm SO glad Mayer isn't a blues musician. I'm so glad he's just John Mayer.
Timothy Stratton Amen!!!! No one style can hold him down
@@DanielMaloneJr Jazz. Classical music. Metal.
@@Nairrrrrrr He has played jazz.
@@jameshenry7286 no😭😂😂
@@jameshenry7286 then u clearly don't know what jazz is
I just don't get how some musicians hate John Mayer. Seriously, he is one of the greatest musicians of all time i think, and whats all the stuff going about him having the blues or not? I you listen, just listen, you would recon he has the fucking blues. Hell yeah
Casper van Helvoirt its because of his egomaniacal personality and his several stupid serious racist comments. He apologized so trying to move on. But not spending anymore money on this guy. Plenty more other great guitarists out there.
Dude you are so oblivious I can't even comprehend...
@@jameshughes6156 stupid coment
@@jameshughes6156 how is saying that you are only attracted to white women, a ravist remark?
If someone says the opposite, then you people applaud them.
Most blues fans tend to have a hard time with women. He doesent. No one will will admit it but that’s why
I was gonna ask who was playing with him, but of course John gave credit where credit is due.
Such a respectable musician. If you're not there yet, its David Ryan Harris!
This may be the best song I've discovered all year and it's new years eve.
Oh, beautiful. This was the first Mayer concert I went to. This, plus Wheel, plus Wind Cries Mary, plus the debut of Another Kind of Green all made for an unforgettable night.
I’ve never been this addicted to a musician and never will be
Full Justice to Eric Clapton..... Awesome solo...... John Mayer you rock
mesmarize1 ruclips.net/video/6PtDt9zpio0/видео.html no full
Justice to EC and Robert Cray. U got it right the first time.
Co written by Robert Cray...
I love John and can't give him enough praise for how great of a guitarist he is. But I think we need to shift focus to how great david Ryan Harris is. Not enough love given to that guy. He's able to go toe to toe with one of the greatest guitarists to ever play
Jacob Messer hmmm how about all the great guitarists John took his licks from to make them his own. I mean this isn’t his song. It’s Eric Clapton and Robert Crays. What about giving them some credit? Do u think johns the only guitarist in the world? The list is long beginning with SRV. His fans seem clueless to me. Are u not guitarists? Most of you?! Hendrix, Clapton, do I have to do ur research. Broaden those horizons. C’mon u can do it. Googles ur friend. Books. Listen to cds of others. Good god You’d think he’s the only guy around. U don’t hear Jonny Lang and Kenny Wayne Shepherd acting so arrogant and imitating their hero’s like this. 🙄
James Hughes sounds like you’re a bit mad there pal
@@wilwalker321 I think James was a little upset the day he posted this comment. He went on a full on hate comment spree that day
DRH is really cool as well, agreed
John Mayer is a very humble man. His genius musical talents show themselves off. We are the beneficiaries. Love it. I love him
He’ll go down as one of the greatest guitarists ever I just hope his blues guitar is acknowledged over everything else. Dead & co is incredible, I mean the fact he was able to pick up that style so seamlessly with everything else he previously exposed himself to as an artist.. but I mean this dudes been creating his own blues style since a guitar was put in his hands and I think it needs to be recognized how he was able to blend all of the original styles so well together into his own. JM forever
Love this so much. you can feel the pain thru his voice and especially thru his guitar.
Hafiz Yahaya he didn’t write it so it’s not his pain!! Johns fans are so annoying and limited in where he got his stuff from. ruclips.net/video/6PtDt9zpio0/видео.html
James Hughes no shit he didn’t write it. You can still show emotion through a cover song. Dumbass.
@@jameshughes6156 take your elitism somewhere else, wow. You can still feel and express pain through a song even if you didn’t write it.
Oh wow...John Mayer. Sings and plays straight from the soul. Such talent.
Drum Chick ruclips.net/video/6PtDt9zpio0/видео.html
This guy is SO damn good! Such a clean cover of this song. It's funny, you can hear so much, "I don't trust myself" in this version (0:33, 7:24-). Awesome! The best guitarist of our generation regardless of what you think of him personally.
Matthew Bleier so he took his song from Clapton and Robert Crays song? Oh hmmm🤔. Because he doesn’t have any major long term great standout songs does he. Let me guess GRAVITY.
@@jameshughes6156 love how no one took the bait lmao
@@jameshughes6156 "doesn't have any standout song".....
He's the highest-selling blues guitarist in 30+ years. 😂
this guy is siplay amazing.Clapton is my fav, so you know im gonna be strct.But ive hard john mayer long enough, cover all the clapton you can please lool.Thanks for keeping the music alive John!!!
he is THE BEST there is now.
Also now! 😄
It’s all just personal opinion of course and not a contest, but I find Doyle Bramhall to be a more compelling artist across the board. He’s a bolder guitar player, a richer songwriter and a vastly more soulful singer. He also brings an authenticity and cool-factor / street-cred that Mayer seems to lack.
@@theanthonyv wut?
@@jaxseaver21 the comment stands on its own. Anyone is free to have a different opinion. But I fail to see how that makes the comment confusing. What do you not get..?
@@theanthonyv as much as I like Doyle, I do think Mayer’s phrasing is much better. Also personally I love his voice a lot more and his songs just resonate with me a lot more but that’s ofc different for everyone
I loved this version mixed with "Tyrone" by Erykah Badu
March of the 2019. Still here.
July of 2020. STILL FUCKING HERE.
Joash Aleck Mario just discovered this version from John. am here now
@@masonbose9658 I love Eric Clapton's Unplugged version, but this one is s whole new flavor.
December 2022, damn
Why have I only just heard this ?!
It's amazing
Elias Simpson because u don’t know many guitarists.
@@jameshughes6156 tf is wrong with you?
He is and will be the greatest guitar player of all time, songwriting (a true poet) , and the most grateful for his career, he's a touring ❤ MF'r. I've said and still say, John is his own genre ❤!!! He gives back to his fans every time he plays live, by just talking to them, sharing his thoughts and feelings l. Yeah I know I talk a lot.
Awesome...a truly brilliant and gentle version... a la John Mayer!!
"I wish once to be only live here"
I only found this about 3 months ago, I listen to it at least once a day. John got me through a horrible narcissistic relationship of 17 years, well at least since 2006, and finally gave me the courage to leave that relationship Thanks Mayo!!! (Mayo is his nickname for me)
i love playing and singing along to this.
John is unique. Listening to this and listening his records... contrast is just so huge... amazing.. kind of..
mr6mkl do u think John wrote this? 🤔
ruclips.net/video/6PtDt9zpio0/видео.html
I love this John Mayer mashup between Eric Clapton's Old Love and Erykah Badu's Call Tyrone. Absolutely genius like John. Already mashing up like this years ago. I love it. Love him
I always come back to this video. This is the best version of this song I've heard.
Jm covers the best !!!😊
John Mayer playing a cover of my all-time favorite song...awww yeah!
At 5:58, you can hear DRH come in with the guitar slide and that thick humbucker timbre after John finishes his solo.
That sustained note is quite amazing
Yeah, that's right when I went from stank face to skunk face. I thought it was Mayer hitting the super secret afterburners.
I love john mayer fans even more about this thing, I really like seeing the fact that they truly believe on his music... that's the real soul of a fan... even the thing that they make me laught all night long hearing this perfection! hahaha, thanks John Mayer, the responsable for this happens!
Nadyne Ribeiro ruclips.net/video/6PtDt9zpio0/видео.html
The Chorus interpolates Erykah Badu-Tyrone. Tyrone is is basically the same song as Old Love, same chord progression. Mayer has a good ear and and obviously listens to alot of different music. This is great
I thought I was the only one lmao
Heaven on earth. Makes my hair stand on end. Wow. Just. Wow.
November 2020 still here
Anyone who doubts mayers abilities on the guitar should be sent this video
John solo's opening is sooooo Clapton. Obviously in a good way :)
I like the chorus with the Baduh reference too!
well its a clapton song afterall
It's a master piece. I'm afraid that better than Clapton original version.
I love Mayer but...Clapton 24 nights Old Love is one of the greatest pieces of music in history. Check it out
Love this man... Everything about him... I could listen to this for hours on end...
Red Rocks is the best venue in the nation. COLORADO PRIDE!
11 years late, but HELL YEAH
John Mayer is love...
Di ko inexpect na magkikita tayo dito sir 😅
@@notizeizeflo grabe 6 yrs na to hahaha
A virtuoso performance by and John and Brian, as well as the other musicians.
John 1❤😊nice guitar bless
He's also throwing Erykah Badu's Tyrone into the mix, brilliant.
That "Kid" is John Mayer. He's 35. And he made a rendition of this song based off of his own feel of guitar, singing, and music altogether. It's called a cover for a reason.
Simply! I love everything he does! Is amazing 👌
JOhn meeds recognition... blues needs recognition...... in this industry of superficiality.....
Damn. I think I just had an eargasm on that solo.
2024 :D still a hit
He should be considered his own Genre of music 🎵
I actually did 😄. I always consider it as JM genre because it's true 😍
@@musichead133 I do to, people ask people ask what kind of music do you listen to ?I don’t say rock I don’t say pop I don’t say blues I don’t say jazz,country (🤢) John he’s my genre 😊 !
haha like the little Erykah Badu nod around 1:30
Was at this concert. Was a great show. Loved when he played this cover
The tone is oooooooooooooof
3:30 the magic moment!
That riff is so dirty... good god
wheres the "love" button??? It seems that youtube thinks "like" is enough...
David Ryan Harris
AWESOME IMPROVISATION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2020 still here
One of my fav Clapton songs covered by JM. Love how he blended in some Badu...First time i heard Old Love ive always heard 'Tyrone' By Erykah Badu.
It's a Robert Cray's song...
@@mickyguitar6337Clapton and Robert Cray wrote it together
man, john mayer is a beast!
속도 박자 정확성 감성 펜타토닉을 예술적으로쓰는 존메이어 모든것이 완벽하다
its so good i'd buy this
the clapton vocals are incomparable
Wow, I know John throws influences here and there, but I never thought the way he sang this version was rooted from an Erykah Badu song.
Thanks for pointing that out. I really appreciate it.
listen to the solo electric version.... its amazing..... he makes it his own...
Why would I pay for porn if a have this
Facundo Cunningham exactly
wtf who pays for porn
@whatadizzydizz The best and only words you could have used to describe this
Does anyone have any idea what John would’ve used to get that crisp tone? There’s just something about it
Two Rock Amp. 65/66 strat. A little reverb and prolly throws the tube screamer on low for the solo
I think it's hilarious that I'd been saying that Erykah Badu stole Clapton's swagger on Call Tyrone. . .and then I find this. . .John Mayer busting out a little Badu during this cover. PRICELESS
David Ryan Harris... Sheesh
THanks Daniel
I can feel your body
When I'm lying in bed
There's too much confusion
Going around through my head
And it makes me so angry
To know that the flame still burns
Why can't I get over?
When will I ever learn?
Old love, leave me alone
Old love, go on home
I can see your face
But I know that it's not real
It's just an illusion
Caused by how I used to feel
And it makes me so angry
To know that the flame will always burn
I'll never get over
I know now that I'll never learn
Old love, leave me alone
Old love, go on home
I just got transported away 😂😂
@toomy094 I know he uses something on his first solo. But on his second solo, which is the very last solo, I think it is just guitar straight to fender tube amp.
Really enjoyable
this just brings a massssive smile to your face.. :D
keep flyin john
The fact that there is not footage of this concert...
2020
A great singer and guitarplayer!!!!
That this song is John's best cover is no doubt. But which version is the best? This, or what did he do with Brad Paisley?
DRH rips it up in this version too. damn!
just listened to tyrone then this wow
i also noticed the badu immediately
would be cool if i could get the picture in the video , would make a really cool wallpaper.
Love it
Oh! I know. Its because he has played with every living blues legend alive and is well respected by them, has sold over 20 million records worldwide, has millions of dollars, is considered one of the best blues guitarists alive ...according to Eric Clapton, that is, and because he dates some of the hottest celebrities alive. thats why he doesn't have it. he should just quit.
...people these days
sick tone
Man. If you had a blindfold on you wouldnt have know if it were Eric Clapton himself or John playing the solo. John really does steal from Eric A LOT. And it is good.
Nails it.
leave me alone
it says
got chills....
@mreliassimpson thx:) i think he uses phaser with high speed and vintage overdrive :)
Always thought this song was about an ex old lady..then it dawned on me with Clapton addiction trouble the and after my own personal battle with addiction it became clear this song is about kicking dope and the everlasting burning desire that you have to live with. Hence were all the soul is derived from
+Shannon q Drugs and women are almost the same thing.. good but addicting and dangerous
+Shannon q really..I didnt know dope had a body...
Shannon q.. It's "where" NOT "were."
I was once told this was another song written about Pattie Boyd, I never thought about it that way
@@Fireman-tj5iz it is about Patty Boyd. One of the 5 or so songs written about her. She must have had some...amazing qualities
nice
wow...ive been collecting mayer stuff since the first release of room for squares and somehow ive never heard this version..this is incredible...i like it more than claptons hyde park performance of this song. and of course DRH is amazing as well. they mesh so well together.
@InMyM2Z tht sounds like such an epic night
nice!
What's wrong with the one who disliked this song?
me puedo morir hoy mismo!!!!
qué versión!!!!
ohhh John mayer....
