Let’s. Fucking. Go. This came outta NOWHERE. At the end of John Mayer’s weekly Sunday show ‘Current Moo’d he pulled out a map and started putting pins on a map of the United States and Canada. At first I didn’t know if he was talking about Dead and Company tour dates but it became clear he was talking about a solo tour and I instantly got a boner. I still have the boner as I type this. He’s performing back to back nights at Madison Square Garden and I’ll be there both nights. Nothing can stop me (unless I die between now and then which would be a real bummer).
The last time Mayer embarked on a tour I went by myself. It was just after I moved to NYC and I trekked alllllll the way out to Holmdel, New Jersey alone to see him at the PNC Bank Arts Center. For those that don’t know, PNC is an outdoor venue and it is majestic when filled with John Mayer tunes. It was truly amazing. I had never seen him perform live before and it was more than worth the two hour trip out there. He even had New Jersey-native Jeff Ross open for him which was different and cool.
The only problem with going to a John Mayer show alone is when he plays Slow Dancing In A Burning Room. It’s a great song, and one of my favorites, but it’s a make out song (despite it being a break up song) when played live. So when he played it literally every one in the crowd started making out with their significant other and I was just toe tappin. To make matters worse, I was in a row where there were only three seats so it was a man and a woman and me. They made out the entire song and I just stood there like an idiot. Other than that, great concert. There’s a billion John Mayer fans at Barstool so I’m guessing a bunch of us will go this time around. That way all of us can stand awkwardly while the rest of MSG sticks their tongues down each other’s throats. Should be a blast.
