Never in my wildest dreams did i think the your body is a wonderland guy would be the one to carry the dead into the 21st century. LONG LIVE THE GRATEFUL DEAD!!!!
lightninboy1979 actually i will say Marc Ford is better, whereas Ford who has so much more soul , and will endeavor to do 1.5 bends on high E and B strings also Joe Walsh... Youl'll never hear Mayer do those things. I feel Mayer is a SRV clone, and a million guitarist who do this, there are a handful of licks. He's good, but in a world with a lot of good guitarist, not innovative like a Marc Ford w uber more soul and edge , or a Zappa, Howe, or a Jerry. Id also say that Ben Harper and Derek are more influential as far as blues guitarists. I think Mayer did a good job, iI quite enjoyed...he can do a variety of things, tasty but does not separate form the pack for me.
Ugh. Absolutely loved, loved, loved this magical place. It was a beacon of hope and musical awesomeness - never to be repeated on this spectral plane. RIP Terrapin Crossroads and thanks to everyone involved that made it a reality here in Marin.
Twice I took my Mother to Ca to see family and stayed at the Embassy suites in Marin and went to Terripan every night after she had her happy hour class of wine. Was awesome. Sad it’s closed down.
Wow, Mayer clearly caught the bug. He's always been a great at translating blues into pop but it's fantastic to hear him (and Ross James!) interpret the Garcia playbook!
Every few years I feel like I'm watching Mayer for the first time. In a way that there's a semi-reinvention that makes him appear "exposed", vulnerable, or accessible - and then he just Butt-f#ck's it to complete mastery, taking whatever he was doing to a whole new level and yet still connecting to the original intimacy of the idea. He's gonna have one helluva Rock n Roll H.O.F induction ceremony at the Grammy's 30 years form now.
Amazing. John's getting a perfect blend between his blues background & the Garcia's way of following every chord progression with chromatic approaches. Can't wait to see more
Thomas Gilbert It would be amazing if you could make a lesson on the 'concepts' of that style, ie. which notes/licks give that kind of sound. Love your channel man!
Okay, Phil's place, Terrapin Crossroads is a restaurant, in San Rafael CA with a SMALL ~ only 150 person capacity musical 'small-room~venue', which is one foot from the restaurant's parking lot. Right, so, then ~ JOHN MAYER, comes out and DOES THIS performance. ONCE IN A LIFETIME! This audience was INCREADABLE LUCKY!!!
Is it really like that at Terrapin Xroads? Where one night u just go in for a cocktail and a meal and all of a sudden Lesh and Mayer take the stage for an impromptu jam? If it is what a treat that place must be!
george cole If he did, it was when he got into the blues trio. But I don't think it's like that at all. It's just new phase after new phase; maturing, growing, getting better
george cole I have always said that John Mayer, for some reason, was hiding his true guitar-playing ability. My significant other informed me that it was probably because he could make more money doing what he was doing. I have to agree with her. I am just glad that it looks like he is finally going to show the world his true guitar-playing ability. If you search for some of his older stuff, you will soon realize that the guy is a guitar genius, but you already knew that :-)
1984hereweare "showing the world what he can do guitar-wise" makes great financial sense in the context of playing with Lesh, for both parties: The Dead want to sell to the legions of Mayer fans and Mayer wants to sell to the legions of Deadheads. Mayer - Lesh collaboration enables each camp to become aware of the other and (wait for it, wait for it) buy, buy, buy.
I fucking hate how people call any sort of collab or different take on projects a "cash grab." You really think these multi-millionaires give a shit about that? It's not like the Grateful Dead are out to sell platinum albums. Those guys already fill up shows in their respective gigs. They've been doing this for 50 years. They love the fucking music. John Mayer is putting off recording a new album to go on tour with Bob, Bill, and Mickey. If anything, yeah, the Dead want fans to listen to John's music, because it's fucking good. True deadheads listen to all sorts of shit, because they like good music. Shits not about money, it's about making good fucking music. MUSIC. Not MONEY. Don't think they went for a "cash grab" playing a few tunes at fucking Terrapin Crossroads after they just played a 2 hour show. If they were all about money, they'd pound out generic album after generic album and play the same shit on stage every night for 40 minutes. Do they do any of that? Do they even associate with people who do anything remotely similar? No. They don't. They play good fucking music with good fucking musicians. That's all this shit is. #RantOver
Thank you! This was so much fun! After two night of GD 1977 with Mayer not singing anything, it was great to see him in the bar with Phil & Ross singing some goodness :D
I wonder what the youtube comments would have looked like when Brent first joined the dead...or better yet Donna and keith coming in after pigpen..oh my...just a thought......long live the dead
Seriously. People are so quick to complain but spend $$$ to go see. I was out at the gorge for D&C company and people were growing so much shade but they drove all the way there to see the show. Just listen to the music and be GRATEFUL
Didn't just figure it out. I have the John Mayer Trio Live album from when it came out. What year was that? I knew he was an SRV devotee from way back. I'm just saying that he's been on a helluva run lately and his amazing guitar skills. have been in the spotlight.
Awwww man... it just seems like my life has passed by without me ever being in the right place at the right time! I thank GOD above for RUclips and other vid channels like it for enabling me to experience moments like this one... on at least some level anyway.
There's no doubt that this place at Terrapin Crossroads gives musicians a space to open up and expand their talents right before our very eyes and EARS...what a great vibe! (Phather knows best...)
I just accidentally stumbled upon this insanely good performance after seeing Dead and Company at Fenway 2016 & 2017. Can’t believe this was out there for this long w/o me seeing it! Phil loving life! Can’t wait for Gillette this June!
It's fantastic to see all the iterations of john Mayer and his dynamic talent! His playing was perfectly stated in this! Paying such wonderful homage to JG with his liberal and playful use of the chromatic scales! Clearly the guys were just having some fun with this performance but make no mistake, it matter NOT AT ALL what any of you naysayers think about john Mayer, everyone who is anyone in the music world(especially the world of guitar) has known, is getting to know, or is loving what he has to bring when he does things like this! Furthermore, if he were to do this in a studio with Phil and friends, the harmonies and tempo changes etc..will be as smooth and tasty As a sweet Georgia peach!!
+Adam Kelly perfectly stated and yes I am a guitarist also. All the comments can not push down the truth in the music that comes ringing clear when he plays with this band.I saw the dead more than 300 times and many Garcia band shows.I love and miss Jerry every day and will still go back and pull out my spring 90 soundboards anyday but I will also allow my mind to stay open to new incarnations of this band>anyone who would do otherwise will only miss out on hell of a good time...long live the dead
NEVER get tired of this ol' classic and they did it better than ever here in my professional Dead critic estimation. Way t go fellas . Pretty dank shit
Starting around 23:00 : absolutely brilliantly stacked lead guitar playing. Hitting different frequencies, feeding off one another's dynamics. No toe-stepping. That's good shit.
Really hoping that the Dead&Co Summer tour doesn't get cancelled on account of this Covid-19 stuff. Would really like to go see the show now that I've delved into the GD catalog.
That is one of the best sound systems in a bar I have ever heard recorded on RUclips, vocals and instruments sound great. Good job everybody, very enjoyable. Thanks for posting.
Sounds like we're getting a mix from the board here, this may even have been recorded and mixed afterwards. The buzz from the snare and the clarity of the ride cymbal hits are too clear for this to just be a room mic, IMO
I love all John's music. A lot of people want him to go back to continuum type stuff which is great but it's his last two albums that have been on heavy rotation. Paradise Valley and Born and Raised are quintessential summer time albums IMO.
lightninboy1979 Mayer can't sit still with one genre. he's always on the move, which I think is the key to becoming a better guitarist. The most influences you have, the more well rounded and uniquely developed your style becomes - IMO.
Jeffery Noel John Mayer would have done a better job than Trey (phish) on Fare Thee Well. That guy seems like a clown compared to JM, but it's just one opinion. It's like comparing a Varsity player to JV on both guitar and vocals.
I tend to agree with their choice. The better part of the Dead was their risk-taking, in my opinion. They were sort of caught - John Kadlecik and Stu Allen can do that "exact Jerry clone" best, but that often leans towards the worst of the plodding, meandering, dying Dead. So they wanted somebody with a bit of originality, though from looking at the date of these shows and Lesh's obvious joy in NOT plodding along here, I'd bet they'd already invited Phil by then. Couldn't really UNdo it. For that matter, it was obvious Micky Hart was way, way out of practice, but what could they do, besides just turning his mikes off? Un-invite him, too? Nah, just hug and get it over with. Of course, I don't love all Dead unconditionally, listening to any Dead past the creeping heroinization of Garcia makes me angry, sad & creeped. I could quite happily die without ever hearing another Sugar Magnolia, but I have a iPod loaded with 13 "Dark Stars" from 1972 to 1974 (and a half dozen of the best Mahavishnu shows from 72 and 73). Listen to that stuff carefully for a bit and your brain will never quite fit back in the box it came out of. I'm among the many fans of the Phil band with Jimmy Herring and Warren Haynes, and now that they've got Bill Frisell and John Scofield on tap TOO, this might just be the chance of a lifetime for Mayer to go way deep and way wide, you know?

i love all Dead (even those over-dosed vince years (bless his heart and soul) and well-intended Dead saplings…"unconditionally"….can't help it! for me it's all about the vibration ~i didn't even know or care who J Mayer was until now, now i really appreciate his voice and guitar, he's not arrogant, down to earth, plays very well with others on the same wavelength…O and I just adore those glasses on RJ too! "if you have a garden and a library (and music) you have everything you need…" ~Cicero again, thanks for posting this…thank you Phil!for everything...
Finally John! Please share with the world your guitar-playing talent. I saw you at Red Rocks a couple of years ago (13th row) and I know it is immense. Let loose man!
Very cool version of sugaree. Sure do miss Phil with the boys, would like to at least have oteil be an equal member up in the live sound mix like Phil always was, but would also be awesome to have him come to a couple shows this summer! Also Mayer is the man
Yummy, sweet, guitar pudding. I hope John really lets loose on the guitar on his next album. He needs to release a jam centered album. That would be epic.
Got a chance to visit Terrapin Crossroads this past fall while my wife was interviewing at a hospital. The place was awesome. A permanent hangout for 'Heads. We're moving to Nashville instead, but man I woulda loved to catch shows here regularly to catch some of that Dead magic. (~};}
omg how did one get an invite to this bar?? yes long live the dead,amen to that,dead and company is a like a fat ass snack after a good buzz late into the nite,enjoyed the hell out of this video,
I have just listened into this one. Not sure if again today for the first time I am going to have to scroll down and change the pages to find out if I was already a visitor here and a commentator.

I'm so happy Phil got a new liver and didn't die.
Never in my wildest dreams did i think the your body is a wonderland guy would be the one to carry the dead into the 21st century. LONG LIVE THE GRATEFUL DEAD!!!!
Justin Zmich I said these EXACT WORDS my friend! Seen D&C four times now and already got my tickets for both Boulder shows in July. Love it!
You took the words out of every open minded music lover. He's gone, and his little speech was gut wrenching. Enjoy it while we can.
Raymond Jones what time does the speech start?
@Teaeli Anderson Coming from the person who's favorite artist is Jack Johnson. John Gayer blowz
When the Boyz added Mayer to the band , I thought they had gone crazy !!! But look at him now 😁
I was lucky enough to be there with my son..so good.
So happy you could do this with your son. Beautiful
The guy can do anything. The best of his generation.

John Mayer has turned himself into one of the best guitarist around these days. He really sounds great with Phil and his band.
2 and half years later we can say he's kept his word and payed it forward.
I dont remember any deal going down
@@Ryan-xq3kl 26:33 "I will pay !T forward, I Promize ; }
Yes He D!D
Umm that’s played it forward
Makes me glad to hear younger musicians playing and enjoying this music.
Makes me glad to hear music at all being played by real people
I hope this becomes an album. Mayer's guitar fans have been waiting for years for an album where he doesn't hold back on his instrument.
john meyer is absolutely wonderful and is such a super addition to any dead combination. jerry is smiling from heaven
Ugh. Absolutely loved, loved, loved this magical place. It was a beacon of hope and musical awesomeness - never to be repeated on this spectral plane. RIP Terrapin Crossroads and thanks to everyone involved that made it a reality here in Marin.
Unfortunately I never made the journey there. Sad that there's no longer a place in the world for this.
Twice I took my Mother to Ca to see family and stayed at the Embassy suites in Marin and went to Terripan every night after she had her happy hour class of wine. Was awesome. Sad it’s closed down.
Wow, Mayer clearly caught the bug. He's always been a great at translating blues into pop but it's fantastic to hear him (and Ross James!) interpret the Garcia playbook!
Dead and company Pt. 2 Phil & John
Every few years I feel like I'm watching Mayer for the first time.

He's gonna have one helluva Rock n Roll H.O.F induction ceremony at the Grammy's 30 years form now.
Amen to that
He should be in the hof sooner than that, he’s been around for 20 years. Isn’t the requirement something like 25 years from your debut album?
Why did u have to make it sound ghea
Amazing. John's getting a perfect blend between his blues background & the Garcia's way of following every chord progression with chromatic approaches. Can't wait to see more
Thomas Gilbert Lesson Coming??
Thomas Gilbert It would be amazing if you could make a lesson on the 'concepts' of that style, ie. which notes/licks give that kind of sound. Love your channel man!
For sure, great idea! There's tons to talk about with this style & the differences
Stoked brother cant wait to see you teach some of these concepts!
Thomas Gilbert Hey, I know you man...
The torch is passed to a new generation.
It was never about to leave
@@Ryan-xq3kl Because the Music Never Stops !! Just Goes Around and Around !! 😁
Damn this is TASTEFUL! Stole my face...
Seeing Phil back there with a huge grin tells you all you need to know!
Neil Waudby You nailed it. Phil's face throughout the 2 days while Mayer was in his solos sold me.
Exactly!

PacificBlu it was Bad Ass Man, I was in awe
Probably the greatest bar show ever...in the history of man.
A Fucking men brother. You said this a year ago. This is a good time to take a hit of weed and give it a revisit.
Hurts to hear him sing. Ruins it for me. Like hearing Trump speak.
Is it really like that at Terrapin Xroads? Where one night u just go in for a cocktail and a meal and all of a sudden Lesh and Mayer take the stage for an impromptu jam? If it is what a treat that place must be!
It's like John Mayer woke up one day and found his true calling in his guitar world.

blues and rock better start becoming a thing in our day and age....
Have you heard what people are listening to today? It's all over, buddy.
I love John Mayer & I Love the Grateful Dead. This makes me so damn happy!!!! I
Dead and Co! Long live the Grateful Dead. The spirt of Jerry will continue.....
The omnipotent Grateful Dead!
This has nothing to do with "Dead & Co". This is a great band. Harmonies, dynamic tempo, listening to each other, the works. This is fantastic.
Thank you! This was so much fun! After two night of GD 1977 with Mayer not singing anything, it was great to see him in the bar with Phil & Ross singing some goodness :D

I was at the Gorge show. All I heard was great praise for John
Large Dad i
Or the release of Shakedown Street...Disco Dead? Fans can be brutal but for some strange reason they keep coming back...maybe it was the roses?
Between the SRV RRHOF induction and this, Mayer has really elevated himself in the blues and rock guitar world. The guy can play!
***** lol
Didn't just figure it out. I have the John Mayer Trio Live album from when it came out. What year was that? I knew he was an SRV devotee from way back. I'm just saying that he's been on a helluva run lately and his amazing guitar skills. have been in the spotlight.
Drew Townson Check out both of his live version of "Ain't No Sunhine". He's on another level.
Thank you, I will!

NEVER get tired of this ol' classic and they did it better than ever here in my professional Dead critic estimation. Way t go fellas
. Pretty dank shit
Damn boys, this is good stuff. We're all getn' down here. 💃🤸🤹🤸♂🤹♂🤸♀🕺
First saw john mayer in 2004 at Crossroads festival. He came out and slayed us with some Stevie Ray. He is the real deal,in my opinion.
Starting around 23:00 : absolutely brilliantly stacked lead guitar playing. Hitting different frequencies, feeding off one another's dynamics. No toe-stepping. That's good shit.
Gibson Blues That said, I wasn't familiar with Ross James prior to this. Gotta say I'm a fan now.
what's the song at 23:00?
+Thiago Ricci He's gone
+Sara Emmert thanks
The mark of a true musician. He's a lot like Clapton in the way he goes through different phases and it's all good.
He's like if you took the emotion and creative range of Hendrix but refined it down to the simplicity of Clapton.
Probably one of the best "He's Gone" ever!
Ever....
this has so much soul, one cannot dispute its beauty......
this pops-up a lot for some reason and I can, and do listen to it again and again ~it's a rare moment...sounds SOOOOGOOOD!!!
12 minutes in...loving it! Was anxious to see/hear some of this show and what a bonus to see Ross James!! Thank you!
John Mayer sings better every time I hear him. He is still becoming what he is going to be.
Really hoping that the Dead&Co Summer tour doesn't get cancelled on account of this Covid-19 stuff. Would really like to go see the show now that I've delved into the GD catalog.
this was simply amazing!! cant get enough Mayer!!
A humble man shall triumph!
i can't believe how good this is!
Love to see Phil still enjoying the process!
When you get a thumbs up from Phil, you're doing things!
This is fantastic. Going to see Dead & Co. in a few days. Can't wait.
I know you rider, at 27 minutes, all the way to the end, is the best thing I have heard in awhile. Great playing .
Love it. Definitely heard Dead influence on a few tracks from Paradise Valley, glad to see this progression.
1:55 Sugaree
14:40 He's Gone
26:40 I Know You Rider
Little Johnny Mayer...
Makin Sugaree his own!!!
DAMN!!!
Fantastic! I love how fluid it is! I miss this vibe! More of us should be keeping this style alive!! I think i need to go jam tonight heh..
That is one of the best sound systems in a bar I have ever heard recorded on RUclips, vocals and instruments sound great. Good job everybody, very enjoyable. Thanks for posting.
phil doesn't mess around
You shoulda heard the system in the Grate Room...
No surprise there. After all Phil did write these words....."Searching for the secret, listening for the sound"
Sounds like we're getting a mix from the board here, this may even have been recorded and mixed afterwards. The buzz from the snare and the clarity of the ride cymbal hits are too clear for this to just be a room mic, IMO

i love all Dead (even those over-dosed vince years (bless his heart and soul) and well-intended Dead saplings…"unconditionally"….can't help it! for me it's all about the vibration ~i didn't even know or care who J Mayer was until now, now i really appreciate his voice and guitar, he's not arrogant, down to earth, plays very well with others on the same wavelength…O and I just adore those glasses on RJ too! "if you have a garden and a library (and music) you have everything you need…" ~Cicero again, thanks for posting this…thank you Phil!for everything...
Love you Phil! Love Terrapin Crossroads!!!! Wish Wish Wish Wish.....
What a treat, that was.
Yes Phil is having a great time. Worth the price of admission right there.
The thing was…..it was free!!!!! 😂
Finally John! Please share with the world your guitar-playing talent. I saw you at Red Rocks a couple of years ago (13th row) and I know it is immense. Let loose man!
Sounds sublime 👌
Ross James kills it!
Amen
This is incredible.
what a gathering !! Phil and John... Magic is afoot ...Thanks for this Samwise
Everyone's hanging in NorCal for the BIG, HUGE event!!! & Phil is thoroughly enjoying himself!
Double "wow" - his phrasing is really facking sweet. Way to go John !!!!! :)
Amazing stuff!
Very cool version of sugaree. Sure do miss Phil with the boys, would like to at least have oteil be an equal member up in the live sound mix like Phil always was, but would also be awesome to have him come to a couple shows this summer! Also Mayer is the man
AGAIN ONE JOHN MAYER MAGISTRAL IN THIS JAM"S HISTORIC THANKS GUY"S. .. JACKYFAN 👍
Goosebumps!
and this is like my 13th time listening/watching it!!! I LOVE IT!!!
ohhhhhh nice........ Refreshingly new and yet JG is floating in the wings for sure......
Very cool.
Yummy, sweet, guitar pudding. I hope John really lets loose on the guitar on his next album. He needs to release a jam centered album. That would be epic.
Wow....Who knew?
Thanks for this.
Awesome Venue for sure !
Got a chance to visit Terrapin Crossroads this past fall while my wife was interviewing at a hospital. The place was awesome. A permanent hangout for 'Heads. We're moving to Nashville instead, but man I woulda loved to catch shows here regularly to catch some of that Dead magic. (~};}
Love it!
The power of mixolydian is strong with you John
Loving this... :-) !!
omg how did one get an invite to this bar?? yes long live the dead,amen to that,dead and company is a like a fat ass snack after a good buzz late into the nite,enjoyed the hell out of this video,
No invite needed….you just walk right in…..
Mayer is great.....But Dam, Phil still got it. Man can groove.
Don't get any better than this
I have just listened into this one. Not sure if again today for the first time I am going to have to scroll down and change the pages to find out if I was already a visitor here and a commentator.
Mayer does sound good. He making it his own while still playing recognizable Sugaree grooves!✌
He's doing it better today. Today being the last time with D&C
No doubt.....Ross James is killing it
.
So good @ 10min!
Love him...hate him...he's still an amazing performer!
Thanks Samwise. That's kick ass.
DAYUM!! that boy's good !!!
Those Two were on fire that night
A Wonderful John Mayer.
