I'm not a big John Mayer fan, although I appreciate he's a talented singer, songwriter, and lead guitarist. I guess I'm biased against him in large part because I'm so annoyed by his song "Waiting for the World to Change," which I see as an excuse for youth passivity and apathy. I just looked it up on Wikipedia right now, and one newspaper review referred to it as perhaps "the most spineless social-justice song ever written." I couldn't agree more.
I just had to vent about that, sorry. Anyway, at the time of this concert in 2009, Mayer's career had been highly commercially successful. His three previous studio albums sold at least three million copies each in the U.S. alone. His current album at the time, "Battle Studies," was released just a couple of weeks prior to this concert. It would go on to sell over two million copies in the U.S.
Only two songs here were from that album: "Heartbreak Warfare" and "Who Says." Most of the rest were from previous albums, although "Daughter Sequel Song" seems to have been made up on the spot. (The song title is just a guess.)
This album is 41 minutes long. That's a bit short compared to other episodes, so there might be a missing song or some missing banter.
