This was a Directv special from late 2006. One of 2 that he did for Directv. The other was a John Mayer Trio live special just after the JMT album dropped. It's just quintessential John with mistakless guitar and a band playing so tight you don't know where the song starts and the band comes in. He's not just a pop icon, he's a secret musical master that gives to those who seek. What a master in motion.
Wow, I am impressed how quickly he transitioned from smiling to acknowledge the crowd, into deep feelings and introspection - he just flipped the switch and went into that dark moment.
Do you think that this song connects with Shawn Mendes'' three empty words?The sadness really resonates so I thought it would be cool to mash them up so I did. Haha. :)
Met the whole band including John a few days later at RedRocks in CO 2006...what an amazing show and band. Sheryl Crow was playing with him during the tour and got to meet both bands . Random and weird how.life is.
this is already years ago. an amazing performance, i love that JJ johnson is smoking a cigarette at the end, i know it's bad for you, but it's like history right there...
its 2011 and this song still gets me everytime i listen to it :( brings back so many sad memories but i love you john for making this song to comfort me :)
Crazy to think just 12 years ago J.J.Johnson sat on that stage and smoked a ciggy between songs. Mental. It seems so strange to think that was a thing.
When you're dreaming with a broken heart, The waking up is the hardest part You roll out of bed and down on your knees And for a moment you can hardly breathe Wondering was she really here Is she standing in my room? No, she's not 'Cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone When you're dreaming with a broken heart, The giving up is the hardest part She takes you in with her crying eyes Then all at once you have to say goodbye Wondering, could you stay, my love? Will you wake up by my side? No, she can't 'Cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone Now do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand? Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand? Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand? Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my, roses in my hands? Would you get them if I did? No, you won't 'Cause you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone When you're dreaming with a broken heart, The waking up is the hardest part.
there is suffering alone, and there is suffering with him..:)
never gets old 🙄

He walks the fine line of attracting both music lovers and those females who hear his music on the radio while shopping.
Loll i love how the drummer is smoking and playing at the same time. awesome
Cause he is just that good
I know right..when drumming for the heart broken song..
Wow, I am impressed how quickly he transitioned from smiling to acknowledge the crowd, into deep feelings and introspection - he just flipped the switch and went into that dark moment.
props to all the musicians on this set. the pianist was giving me the chills...
Man this live version has so much emotion it looks like john is making himself sad lol it hits home way to hard

BigCheeksMusic don’t ever make that comparison ever again

Zainab Mirah it’s 2019 and it still does the same
What a classic. Very underrated in my opion
wow cant belive that the first time ive watched this was way back in 07
Probably the love who broke his heart, making him write this song.
Katy Perry was the one who broke his heart 💔 years after this. Half of his last album was about her.
Drums sound awesome. Snare is just *perfect*.

When you're dreaming with a broken heart,
The waking up is the hardest part
You roll out of bed and down on your knees
And for a moment you can hardly breathe
Wondering was she really here
Is she standing in my room?
No, she's not
'Cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
When you're dreaming with a broken heart,
The giving up is the hardest part
She takes you in with her crying eyes
Then all at once you have to say goodbye
Wondering, could you stay, my love?
Will you wake up by my side?
No, she can't
'Cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Now do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my, roses in my hands?
Would you get them if I did?
No, you won't
'Cause you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
When you're dreaming with a broken heart,
The waking up is the hardest part.
it's so funny that people discuss john's guitars and skill comparison, instead of his songwriting. (this happens in every JM video i guess) :))
hes got a point
but
i saw a video that was half an hour long on youtube
i doubt gravity is too long,
i mean its a four minute song
@BigG150 i think it's a Gibson special double cut
😭💔
👍
Fairly certain it's some sort of Les Paul Jr...don't quote me on that though.
It's a les paul junior with a double cutaway!
look at all the smoke man...
at 0:34, wonder what he's thinkin' about before he cups the mike in his hand and starts to sing
@BigG150 That's a Les Paul Special Double Cutaway.
Could please post the full concert of this?
@12kirkhinrich12
Junior*
@BigG150 maybe a Melody Maker....i cant see it well enough
\
You actually may be able to help. Part 6 - Gravity - is too long for You tube. Do you know, apart from cutting it, what I can do??
Elliot Wenman times have changed now 😂
did jj johnson have a cigarette in his mouth?
did he squeal at 3:35??
It sounded like a pinch harmonic.
Yeh, buts its like a 15 minute vid. He goes for a nice long improv. bit.
@EJ1202
It's a cigarette..
never thought john would go FLAT on a note..... sorry idol
He never asked what you'd expect...but he does what the music demands. Fukn masters are unpredictable that way. But it's always perfection.
John Mayer wants to be Annakin Skywalker so bad 😂😂😂
