John Mayer - Any Given Thursday

Summary: John & the Random Screaming Girls of Alabama
Review: If you listen to the commentary--John talks about a woman calling him a one hit wonder, which he isn't. His whole cd is a hit and he should of had more than 3 singles. I would recommend this DVD to any true John Mayer fan. I got it for my birthday and that was 3 months ago and I still watch it! He is great in concert, but even better when you can watch him any time you want.

Summary: BUY IT!
Review: If you love the eccentric, amazing, & personal things that are John Mayer, you have to buy this! I have watched and rewatched this DVD, and rewatched it many more times with the commentary by John and Scotty Crowe. The set (as only 'Room For Squares' and 'Inside Wants Out' had been released at the time) is very good and you should definitely see it if you like John Mayer. If, as a previous review suggested, you do not enjoy watching John live, then buy the live CD. I personally believe the music is quality, which is hard to find these days. John Mayer is totally live with no annoying lip-syncing, lengthy costume changes, overdone pyro, etc. It's refreshing to see an artist like this on stage. His unique "guitar faces" (as JM himself says on this DVD) and "dances" could be unpleasant to some I suppose. But appreciate the fact that it is a live show! No editing of the vocals has been done, etc. His guitar skills are amazing! I strongly suggest going to see John Mayer on tour, because you get to see even more impressive things than this. The DVD does do a good job of showing what he is like. He talks/rambles in the show which is extremely funny with his wit. He also (I believe) sings beautifully. He covers The Police's 'Message In A Bottle' and then Stevie Ray Vaughan's 'Lenny' before going into his older and unreleased song 'Man on the Side'. Make sure you listen to the commentary! His sense of humor is great, and it provides you with a greater appreciation for him as a person.

Summary: Great Quality
Review: If you're thinking about buying this DVD, I assume you've already heard John Mayer's music...therefore I'm not going to spend any time reviewing the music itself.

The quality of the Audio and Video is outstanding. The audio is crisp; the video is top-notch and clear. Other people have complained about audience noises, but I think they're forgetting that this is a DVD of LIVE music. The audience sound levels, in my opinion, were not too high. If you don't harp on it, you won't even notice the audience.

The special features were a nice suprise, especially for a low cost DVD.

Summary: Well Worth Every Penny
Review: If youre a John Mayer fan, than this DVD is an amazing investment. It contains so much live concert and displays so much of his talent- its amazing. It also contains Bonus Features, like the 'Morning After' segment. Its an interview with him inside of his hotel room, and it really gives you a better view of him as not only a musician- but as a down to earth person. You get to know him as a person (what sections of the newspaper he reads... what he likes about performing etc.)John is performing in CT on August 20, and I couldnt get tickets. This DVD allowed me to see what a great artist John is, and just how talented he is as a musician. It truly gives you the concert experience. If youre considering buying it- I say go for it! You wont be let down.

Summary: great !!
Review: In fact, john is a HUGE musician, he is a REAL great guitar player and cool with his fans too. Seeing that guy getting strange on a guitar solo is totally impressive (i.e Man on the side, or Covered in the rain) You have to see that DVD.
If you love clean guitars, lovely lyrics... go for it!

Summary: Awesome Live Performance
Review: John Mayer is an unassuming performer and awesome entertainer. I have viewed this DVD several times and realize he is totally engrossed in what he does best and that is making music. His guitar solos are reminiscent of great guitarists of the past and he shamelessly honors his favorites with notable riffs or complete cover songs. He is a likeable fellow in his commentaries and his sense of humor on this collection lets the listener know he hasn't let any of his popularity go to his head. He has the ability to poke fun at himself and in my opinion, he is living life right, by not taking things too seriously. He makes a point to shed light on his band mate's abilities, when it would be really easy to keep the focus on himself. He is not that way at all. I'd be surprised if you do not emerge a huge John Mayer fan by giving your eyes and ears this musical treat any given Thursday or for that matter any day that ends in "Y".
