Never really listened to Mayer's music. He's better than I thought. His style definitely fits in here.

He's always been able to play a great blues lick (even if it was derivative of SRV to some degree - which is not a bad thing!), but since playing with Dead and Company he has matured into a truly great well rounded guitarist. Even comparing this clip to his most recent stuff you can see the evolution. Huge respect to him - long may he play!

People don't want to admit because Mayer played popular pop music but to anyone who knows anything about guitarists Mayer is Berklee trained musician and could play anything he put his mind to....people need to get over themselves Mayer can rock and his phrasing on this song is off the charts.

I’ve been watching this video at least once a day for quite some time. In my opinion this is some of John’s tastiest playing. Since he started touring with dead and company, my life has been complete.

Yeah, man, way to nail it. "Tasty" is a perfect word. As I'm listening to this it's interesting to compare the two guitar players. The first guy (don't know who he is yet) is obviously a great, great player, and it's really cool to see John really digging what he's playing. His style is very licks based, like he's pulling different tricks out of a bag, and that's cool. But John's playing feels so much more lyrical, like his guitar is actually singing, which feels a lot more "Jerry."

That bass player is awesome

This is a really, truly, righteous moment. Phil's enthusiasm is wonderful to see. Love y'all

Just seeing this. That smile on Phil's face!

i think its wonderful for true ' grateful dead heads that johns hear to keep this great music going! peace

9:43 JM goes to talk first after they finish but pulls back and gives it to Phil. You can tell the huge respect he has for an OG.

This is so awesome, John is jamming his ass off & Phil is just very happy, thank you!!

Mayer is a truly great blues guitarist as well

You can tell these guys are loving it! Me too.....

Never saw Phil happier.

Pay it forward Johnny Boy...//

Great song and I love the amazing collab between John Mayer and Phil Lesh. Love it. Love them

I'm so happy to see this 😘

So much love for this.. Amazing seeing John n Phil play together!

In restrospect, this moment, these shows, on the cusp of FTW and the subsequent renaissance of this scene, will go down in history. “Now the die is shaken, now the die must fall”. This is the shaking of those dice. Can’t help but wonder if these nights may have been the final dice to convince John to try the D&C project. And the rest, as they say, is history...

it's one of the pieces.... John playing on TV with Bob.... and jm and bw went to Coachella together that year, surely some seeds toward what would become D&C were germinating.

Phil, always happy....❤

The other guitar player certainly played excellent as well and deserves respect and attention as well.

I just noticed that John switches between playing with a pick and using his thumb and index finger. That's pretty damn cool.

excellent version !

My son turned me on to Mayer's guitar-playing 15 years ago. Since then, I've discovered that he's one of the best out there...almost under the radar to many.

Phil has him on his toes and I’m 30 seconds in

I think the real reason is because not all of the original core four members get along. Mickey has publicly stated his dislike for Lesh. Bob Weir said in 2014 that the band owed it the fans to get over their inner quarrels and honor their legacy of 50.
