My favorite thing about Mayer is that he never lets go of his roots...the roots that made him play. Clapton, Hendrix, SRV, BB King just to name a few are the musicians that he still covers to this day. Great musicians admire each other. Tuck 'em and kiss it if you don't like Mayer...you simply don't want to acknowledge greatness that stares at you through a 6-string.

i say mayer should go down as one of the greats io, he has a tremendous respedct for the past, like Bonomassa does

The fact this was 20 years ago 😮

I mean, I don't know. He might be THE greatest musician of all time. I wouldn't ever burden someone with that title, but if I was going to, it might be him. Just the fact that you consider he's possibly in the top 100 means you agree with me on a certain level. Oh yes, and I'm SO glad Mayer isn't a blues musician. I'm so glad he's just John Mayer.

It’s all just personal opinion of course and not a contest, but I find Doyle Bramhall to be a more compelling artist across the board. He’s a bolder guitar player, a richer songwriter and a vastly more soulful singer. He also brings an authenticity and cool-factor / street-cred that Mayer seems to lack.

He’ll go down as one of the greatest guitarists ever I just hope his blues guitar is acknowledged over everything else. Dead & co is incredible, I mean the fact he was able to pick up that style so seamlessly with everything else he previously exposed himself to as an artist.. but I mean this dudes been creating his own blues style since a guitar was put in his hands and I think it needs to be recognized how he was able to blend all of the original styles so well together into his own.

Broaden those horizons. C’mon u can do it. Googles ur friend. Books. Listen to cds of others. Good god You’d think he’s the only guy around.

just listened to tyrone then this wow

Deep....

That "Kid" is John Mayer. He's 35. And he made a rendition of this song based off of his own feel of guitar, singing, and music altogether. It's called a cover for a reason.

the clapton vocals are incomparable

He's also throwing Erykah Badu's Tyrone into the mix, brilliant.

David Ryan Harris... Sheesh

Wow! This is pretty funny because I almost put up the same version, but for some reason, the mp3 wouldn't work with the video format. Anyway, thanks for doing it for me!! This version is AWESEOME . . . (especially the end where DRH and John play eachothers guitars . . . through the audio, it sounds kind of lame . . . but if you saw it live, it was awesome)

DRH rips it up in this version too. damn!

I can feel your body When I'm lying in bed There's too much confusion Going around through my head And it makes me so angry To know that the flame still burns Why can't I get over? When will I ever learn? Old love, leave me alone Old love, go on home I can see your face But I know that it's not real It's just an illusion Caused by how I used to feel And it makes me so angry To know that the flame will always burn I'll never get over I know now that I'll never learn Old love, leave me alone Old love, go on home

wheres the "love" button??? It seems that youtube thinks "like" is enough...

i also noticed the badu immediately

Wow, I know John throws influences here and there, but I never thought the way he sang this version was rooted from an Erykah Badu song. Thanks for pointing that out. I really appreciate it.

Always thought this song was about an ex old lady..then it dawned on me with Clapton addiction trouble the and after my own personal battle with addiction it became clear this song is about kicking dope and the everlasting burning desire that you have to live with.
