John Mayer’s interpretation of the human experience is always just what I need. He is a true gift.

I come back to this video everytime my depression makes me feel like shit even if everything is going great in my life and I hate myself for that, just to remind myself that it's okay to feel like this. It's okay.

You know, somewhere along the way, somebody or some group of people instructed us that it is possible to feel okay all of the time. That the human body, or the human mind should normally behave appropriately at all times. And if there is even any part of your day, or week, or month that falls short of feeling 100%, that there is something wrong with you. “Does it burn when you swallow or do you got acid reflux? You can’t eat pasta sauce after 11.” Bullshit. Let me tell you what happens to everybody but they won’t talk about it because they feel like its only them. But its everybody. Everybody freaks out. I wanna show you something. Thats a Xanax .5 milligrams. You know why I keep prescribing more, or asking for a prescription? You know why I keep going to my doctor to ask for more? Not because I take them. Because I run them through the laundry. These do not go in my blood stream, these go through my plumbing. But I’ve got my .5 in my pocket just incase I freak the fuck out infant of all of you! 17,000 people. Get a shot of this. If you wanna freak out, freak out. If you feel like all of a sudden you’re 6 and you wanna cry and you don’t know why, just go do it. lets have everybody just accept everyone else is going to freak out. Yeah everyones going to freak out. You’re not going to be 100% all the time. Hey can somebody get me another Xanax please? Yes, let me make it easy for you. You’re going to freak out. You’re going to have at least one moment per week where you don’t feel right. But maybe it doesn’t feel so wrong if you know that its kinda suppose to happen to you. It is the other side of being conscious and loving. That there are going to be times that you’re going to have to hit Control-Alt-Delete. Just gonna have to take a moment. You might be walking through an airport, you might be having the time of your life. In fact its more likely to happen during the time of your life. You might sit down in Cabo, put your feet in the sand, crack open a Corona, and go ughhh. Thats you not letting yourself have a good time. And I guarantee you there someone sitting out here at the show tonight going like “I need to use the bathroom and I wanna go home.” Me too! Nobody wants to use the bathroom and go home more than me, and I gotta play on stage every night. So what I’m trying to say to you is fight on!

I found this song while I was in a manic episode. It hit me of course very very hard. I was running so hard. I started my weight loss journey in January 2020. With struggles, and finally getting diagnosed with bipolar 1 disorder. I was able to get help. I’ve lost a great amount of weight. This song pushed me so hard. What John says in the middle of this song is absolutely beautiful!!! That brought me tears. “Fight On!” Keep on fightin’ y’all. We got this!!

A meaningful song+meaningful improv speech(at least I think so)+guitar+great harmonica-zynex pill=This is John fking Mayer everyone!

Thank you whoever recorded this!

Forever will go back to this

This song means so much to me. I listened to it and played it back in October. In the wake of losing my house in Breezy Point to Hurricane Sandy and just when I thought it was over, my grandmother who was 98 had a stroke and was put into ICU. I had so much on my mind, what would happen after this? I listened to this and it made me want to 'fight on.' A week after her stroke, she passed and my family and I had to rebuild our house. Now here I am, and everything's alright. So fight on.

Being at this concert must have felt like a spiritual experience, I really hope one day I get to experience this.

1:11-1:15 That lick he plays on the harmonica when he goes down to the F#m chord is so tasty.

I gotta be honest. This is my favorite song at this point in my life. It has about 100 more plays than my second most played song on itunes. Of course the second most played is also John Mayer. But really, I'm in the war of my life. I freak out. I gotta prescription too, but the drugs never last. If there is one thing I've learned so far in my life is that when I start thinking, I'm as good as dead. So I'm just gonna do what I do best...and play my guitar and sing about it. Fight on...

Many months have passed that I feel like shit and I always return to see this video of John, the lyrics are my whole life

Love this video so much. This doesn’t go through my blood stream- it goes through my plumbing. I love him!

I can't ever get over how incredible this whole performance is... 6:52 Fight on!

Spent almost a day without food, because all I could do was cry. Sometimes it seems that there is nothing left to do, but I'll fight on. This is the war of my life and I'm gonna fight on until is done. I am gonna get her back. We belong togheter and will fight on. I am freaking out at this moment, but I'll fight on. This song means a lot for me and it was able to set my mind free for a while. I am very thankful fot it. Hope it will pass. I am gonna get her back. This is a promess.

John is a living legend ❤

Went to work this morning and had one of these "freak out" moments. Came home for lunch, watched this and the day seems a little more bearable. Thanks John.

this made my day

If im not mistaken this is during his tour supporting heartbreak warfare. During this tour, he started reallyyy liking the sounds that you now here on born and raised. He actually started to write some of the songs you hear on B+R on the HW tour (conceptual ideas of songs). He was entering a fertile song-writing moment prematurely and wanted nothing more than to follow that inspiration, but he really couldn't do it while on tour. So yes he most certainly wanted to go home. Badly

His empathy is huge and his compassion is deep. Love that harmonica! (almost as good as my brother) HeeHee

This man is so beautiful!!! I'm glad I NEVER gave up on him, thru thick & fkn thin, his whole career was always about the INTEGRITY OF ART AND LOVE.

I always love how candid and honest he is. He gives some really amazing advice, on top of that being an amazing performance.

you know, there is really something beautiful about people singing along, slightly out of tune, to songs they love so much by an artist they love so much at a concert.

John loves to give out some of the greatest speech ever, always help me to keep doing what I do. He should sum all of his ideas of thinking and make a book.

this performance made me love this song 100000 times more.

Every time I watch this video I understand the meaning and depth of each sentence he says a bit more than the last. This video is helping me get through so much since 2021 when I first came across it.

I saw this video 6 months ago. I still watch it from time to time. I wish I could show it to everyone, because everyone needs to hear this. I just wish someone could be there for him. He more than deserves it.

It's insane how much I relate to this. From the moment I wake up until an hour after I lay down to bed my thoughts are racing.

To the love of my life, Things can get rough, and life isn’t always as amazing as we hoped it would be. I hope this finds you in a time when you need it most. All I want you to know is that I love you, and even though I may not be the most perfect man, I try hard every day to be that for you. I may be inconsiderate at times, and may take you for granted, please know that you mean the world to me. You’re my light in the dead of the night, and just as you helped me fight through my struggles, I want to be that for you. I love you
