Summary: Great sound, great talent. Too bad he can't sing
Review: I hardly understood a word he said. This new style of gutteral singing does someone like John Mayer a great disservice, because otherwise they sound great. Enunciate and take singing lessons, maybe you'll last.

Summary: What a DVD player and buying DVDs are for
Review: I have become a big fan of buying concert DVDs as opposed to movie DVDs. Yes everyone should buy the 4 or 5 DVD version of Fellowship of the Ring because it is to date the masterpiece and standard for what DVD movie releases can be. But really how many times can you watch a movie? How many movies are even worth watching more then once? Isn't a good movie best seen in a theatre anyway?Concert DVDs are a different story all together. They can be viewed multiple times, shared at friends' houses, used as background or foreground. They are by far the best value for your DVD money. And this DVD is one of the better concert DVDs I have seen. The track Covered in Rain is almost worth the price by itself, where John's musicianship really shines through. As a whole, this DVD displays his voice, guitar playing, his band, and his personality. There is enough just plain good music on display that you will hear something new every time you listen. If you have a halfway decent sound system, for sure by this DVD if you even like Mayer's music a little. If you like his music more then a little, no matter what sound system you have, this will be a fun acquisition. The extras are quite nice. I have yet to listen to the commentary but the interview was interesting and the photos are surprisingly well done. The photos are shown in slideshow presentation and are a combination of color and black and white. They are a lot of fun. For the price this is a great value that you will enjoy again and again. It is what DVD players where meant to play.

Summary: Hello All You " " Lipreaders
Review: I know John wants to be considered a rock guy, but I like him because of his jazziness. His playing on this DVD is top notch, and the inclusion of a commentary, is hilarious. He makes fun of himself. He plays the heck out of message in a bottle, and makes his own hits sound refreshing and new (fold me up, take me out,im portable...love it) Well, my advice to you, is, if you're a John fan, get him and enjoy his smooth jazziness!!

Summary: An awesome concert dvd!
Review: I loved this dvd! I own many concert dvds, but this one is by far my favorite. The performance was great, I especially liked John's little ad-libs. His humor bits between songs were funny and a great personal touch. It was nice to watch a concert that focused on the music, not on pyrotechnics or dancing or some fancy light show. Another bonus on this dvd was the commentary. It was fun to listen to and helped you feel connected to each and every song. The special features interview was great too! It showed more of John's personality. This is a fun dvd and I plan to watch it again and again.

Summary: Great DVD
Review: I used to only "like" John Mayer music. After watching this DVD, I became a fan. Great lyrics, great music, great artist. It is very refreshing to realize that no matter how many artificial "artists" every generation has to struggle with, there will always be a real and passionate musician like John.

Summary: The Best DVD I Own
Review: I would highly recommend "Any Given Thursday" to any John fan, or music fan for that matter. In a world full of Britneys, with their elaborate sets and costume changes, it's very refreshing to watch and listen to John. Clad in a t-shirt, guitar in hand, John delivers the best tracks off of his debut "Room For Squares", as well as a handful of extra (amazing) songs such as "Man on the Side" and "Covered in Rain". In my opinion, John really shines live on stage. I think nearly every song he plays far surpasses the studio version on his album, and it's fun to watch his boundless energy and crazy facial expressions. What makes concert DVD's so nice is that you can watch the show all the way through, or jump right to the songs you want to listen to. So whether you have 2 hours or 2 minutes, you'll have plenty to keep you entertained. John's "morning after" interview is nothing too spectacular, but it's interesting to hear his reaction to the night before (and see how he reads USA Today- the boy's funny!). This DVD is simply amazing; a great addition to anyone's collection.

Summary: Must Have DVD!
Review: I'm an avid DVD concert collector. From certain forms of Jazz (Norah Jones to Harry Connick Jr) to Pop (you name it!) to Rap (Linkin' Park). I like music and enjoy watching and listening in general. But I have not experienced anything like this DVD. Take it for what it's worth... because tastes are very personal. Here goes...
I wasn't really a John Mayer fan. I've heard a few of his songs which piqued my interest. At the first viewing, I was half turned off and half amused by his unusual gyrations and facial expressions (like the others who have commented on the same thing). Just looking at his face, it seemed initially that he might have some sort of mental retardation. But since the music was great, I ended up listening to the DVD again... and again... and again! With each re-listening, I always noticed something new. And it is only with re-listening to the DVD that one will get the true essence of John Mayer. After a while, you see past those facial expressions and gyrations. To me now, its just like a pianist swaying back and forth with a slow tune or bobbing his/her head up and down with a fast one. You will notice those expressions/gyrations only occur when he is plucking or strumming out melodies and chords. His voice has great depth. I didn't and couldn't for the life of me make out the lyrics initially. But again they eventually ALL come out! And the lyrics themselves convey many things. So... from getting to know the singer through his monologues, voice and songs, to the wonderful and oftentimes soulful guitar playing (mostly very clean plucking and excellent strumming), to the wonderful overall performance and sound quality, I can't give this DVD anything but 5 stars!

Summary: John Mayer is the MAN! I don't know how he does it...
Review: I'm in awe of John Mayer... I especially like his performance of "Covered in Rain" in this DVD...it's 10 minutes long and it's worth listening to every second of it. He's so amazing and he plays the most beautiful songs I've heard in my life.
