Due to my love of
John Mayer, whenever there is an announcement of some John Mayer concert or appearance, I do everything in my power to be there. On my own wedding day (also John Mayer's birthday), I woke up early to make sure I went online to try to get tickets to his show at the
Beacon Theatre. Unfortunately, I didn't get tickets and my wedding day was ruined!! Just kidding... it was fantastic. Luckily the concert was on tv and I was able to DVR it and I love to watch it over and over.
A few weeks ago, John Mayer announced he would be doing a taping of
VH1's Storytellers at an undisclosed location in NYC. With each entry you had to ask John Mayer 3 questions. At the same time, I contacted my rep at VH1 telling her my obsession with VH1 and if I could attend the taping. I was told that I would be put on a waiting list and I was so disappointed. On Wedesday, my rep emailed me to tell me that tickets were available!
On Thursday, my mom and I (my John Mayer concert partner) traveled to
Steiner Studios in Brooklyn. I took 3 trains and walked in the freezing cold to get there. 1 1/2 hours later, I met up with my mom in Fort Greene, Brooklyn for the concert. The stage was set up beautifully and looked like a winter forrest. We were 7 rows from the stage and when John Mayer walked out, I was so excited to be so close! He started off with 2 acoustic songs performing Comfortable (which is one of my absolute favorites) and Body Is A Wonderland. The rest of the set was played with his band and featured songs from all of his albums. He told so many stories in between every single song. John Mayer is so smart so I loved hearing him talk about different topics and then go off on tangents. The entire show felt like I was hanging out with him and having a conversation with him. It felt great to get inside his head and hear about how he came up with some songs, his life experiences, and how he feels about life in general. I pretty much answered all of my questions in some sort of way during his stories so I was disappointed that I didn't win tickets from my questions!
He played pretty much every single he's ever had so the show should attract casual fans into bigger fans. I hope you watch the show because it is fantastic!!
