Summary: John at his very best. Period.
Review: Absolutely amazing. I've been a fan of John's since Inside Wants Out was released the FIRST time. Unfortunately, every time he's playing a concert in Michigan, I'm out of the state. Watching this DVD put me in the same state of awe that I felt the first time I heard Neon. Awesome jam sessions and blistering, tasteful blues solos compliment his amazing songwriting skills. If you've never had the opportunity to see John in concert, buy this DVD. If you have, buy it anyways, it's the closest thing to being there (plus great extras like photogallery, soundcheck and morning after interview.) Looks great, sounds better thanks to John Alagia. A MUST HAVE for not only fans of John, but for fans of great songwriting in general.

Summary: Never Again
Review: After reading a few reviews I bought this DVD. Never again.
The picture is OK but the audio mix is NOT. The music was a very poor mix and the vocals were terrible. I could not understand what he was singing about.
As far as having to watch John eating his microphone, it made me feel sick. Why take so many close-ups of his mouth?
He is obviously very talented but has been sold short by the technical bods.
No more antiquated 4.3. Widescreen for all releases please.

Summary: Just Like Being There!
Review: Boyish good looks go a long way, but its the "from the heart" performance and the buzz of the concert experience that carries John Mayer in his newly released concert DVD. Filmed in Birmingham Alabama on his latest tour, the DVD captures all cool things that make for a great concert... The cheering crowds, the kibbitzing between songs and of course JM's passionate, expressive and sometimes funky performance. Mayer who is known for his introspective lyrics and whispery voice comes through loud and clear in a style that's uniquely his own, but has been often compared to Dave Matthews and Jack Johnson. The DVD comes with bonus materials include a behind the scenes look at the concert, an interview with John and a collage of pictures put to his music. This is a MUST OWN for JM fans who I'm sure are all too familiar with his studio recordings. The renditions here carry far more punch and some fun and unexpected alternative lyrics. For hardcore JM fans the audio commentary that runs through the concert gives an added insight to his quasi philosphical, regular guy life. JM fans will absolutely NOT BE DISAPPOINTED and the uninitiated may discover a new passion.

Summary: I WAS THERE THE SHOW WAS GREAT 6 stars******
Review: FOR ALL OF YALL JM FANS OUT THERE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND BUY THIS DVD. I was actually at the show and it was spectacular. It was one of the best shows that i have ever seen and I have been to a bunch. Just imagine how excited i was when Guster blew the suprize and told us that it was being recorded for DVD. I knew then that it was going to be a great show and that John would give it his all for us. My ticket stubs will go along with the DVD just great, i can't wait to relive this magical night. The concert was great the seats were great and the date was gorgeous, how much more of a perfect night could i have had?
John is great to listen to but there is nothing that can compare with being there as he puts on a wonderful show. Pelham Alabama, the Oak Mountin AMP. is a wonderful outdoor venue and the temp was just right that day. Even though it did sprinkel a little there was no rain that could have ruined that show. i can't wait to see the DVD and i cant wait to go to another one of his shows. Do yourself a favor and experience this show for yourself, buy the DVD there is no way you could go wrong.

Summary: John Mayer - Rising Star
Review: Got this dvd the day it came out. What an amazing artist. His voice is soulful and his guitar playing is electrifying. My favorite is of course " your body is a wonderland", "No such thing" is great But "Covered in Rain" is hypnotic. Great concert, was not disappointed. Buy this dvd and you wont regret it...

Summary: Get ready to be blown away!
Review: I bought RFS last summer and absolutely fell in love with John. I also bought IWO and fell in love all over again. I had heard a lot of fans talk about how he's even better live, and I just couldn't believe them. It couldn't be possible. Ah, but it was. I recently bought this DVD and was absolutely blown away. My respect and admiration for his talent is through the roof. His performances are passionate and moving, and his amazing guitar playing and off the wall humour will make you a fan for life. The commentary and morning after interview are really great in letting you see John's captivating personality. Now, I'm a poor unemployed high school student, and yet after watching this DVD about 20 times and hating that I couldn't just pop it into my discman, I went ahead and bought the CDs as well. I can't get enough of this guy. He's just so amazing. Do yourself a favour and buy this DVD or pick up the CD. ...

Summary: Great Stage Presence...
Review: I bought this DVD because I was unable to see in live in concert. And believe me, this DVD allows the viewer to get an idea of what it's like to be at the concert. It show's this young talent doing what he does best...working his guitar to get the most out of his music. This DVD includes songs from his hit album "Room For Squares" but also includes songs that are from his independent album. Another plus on this DVD is the special features which allows the viewer to go "behind the scenes" with John and see how he is when he's not on stage. Overall a great item for any John Mayer fan!!!!

Summary: AMAZING!!!
Review: I CAN NOT wait any longer for this DVD! I mean, it is supposed to be something great! Some of the dvd footage is available on the VH1.com, but trust me, there is a lot more to see! I'm really looking foward to it and I can almost dare to say this: "Any Given Thursday" is going to be one of the best DVD's of 2003!
