John Mayer Plays Musical Chairs With Ben Folds In Florida
August 8, 2007 - Sound Advice Amphitheatre, West Palm Beach, FL
Posted by Adrian R., Miami, FL, at 5:46 pm EST on Friday, August 10th, 2007
But in the end, Mayer was the highlight of his show, even crashing opener Ben Folds� set-closing performance of �Rocking the Suburbs.� Mayer (dressed like Folds, in a tight T-shirt and thick, nerdy glasses), along with some of his band members, played a game of musical chairs with Folds� band, which started with Mayer on piano and Folds on bass and ended with Folds on percussion and Mayer ripping a guitar solo behind his back, � la Hendrix.

I was. It was just hilarious overall. Ben Folds came out and John came on the stage as a prank, got on top of the piano while Ben was playing and started to hit the keys. Then one of them jumped into a bear hug with the other one and madness ensued. Oh and John was dressed as Ben Folds so it was funny in the sense that he was mocking him in a nice way. It was hilariousness.
At another show, John came out in a suit and a cigar while Ben was playing and played around on a keyboard, and walked off like nothing happened.

West Palm Beach, 8/08
Quote: Folds kept it up by giving the audience a three-part-harmony singing lesson to participate in Not the Same, before bringing out a guest guitarist for the raucous Rock the Suburbs.
The crowd's energy quadrupled when Mayer himself jumped onstage, decked out in his own nerd gear, and took over on piano, then jammed on guitar while Folds crashed around capably on drums.

John plays clarinet, too. Do you think Jen bought him a clarinet when she bought that piano for him.

Didn't know that, Kathy, but given the price she paid for that piano, I'll bet they threw in a nice LeBlanc or Buffet clarinet for John. |

John played the clarinet in grade school, just like most schools require students to learn one instrument. He switched it up to the guitar at the age of 13. Anyone can edit/change wikipedia! But I see what you two are doing.. |

Anyway, I am upset that WDYTIW is a choice for the encore tonight and I am not going.  |

The Boston Herald already has their review up! That was fast.

Anyways, the best part of the piece...
Quote: The 30-year-old former Berklee student - who played to the home crowd by showing up in a Red Sox [team stats] jersey - opened with the upbeat career-starter �No Such Thing,� then shifted gears into the pensive, bluesy �Clarity� and the subdued funk of �Vultures.�
Love the red sox![/quote] |

John's humor is something else. It's always those East Coast shows that lead to blogs like these...
Quote: I want all my fans to know that it is with great humility and embarrassment that I have to inform you that I was arrested tonight.
I hope that my forthrightness and honesty will help to ease some of your hurt. Here are the facts:
After my show in Mansfield, MA, I decided to try my hand at mixing the perfect watermelon margarita. Having served more than two dozen, and sipping from each drink as it was delivered, I became very inebriated. The rest makes me sick to my stomach, but here goes:
I thought in my impaired state that it would be a good idea to play Grand Theft Auto 4: Liberty City. It was not. As I left my cousin Roman's apartment with the afternoon to spare, the alcohol (and the loneliness) got to me. The combination of Patron, Triple Sec, Watermelon Pucker and my cousin Roman's misleading promise of the American Dream brought out the darkest side of me.
I decided to walk into traffic and stop a cab. When the driver came to a halt, I opened his door and ripped him from his seat. This is when I began to pummel him without mercy. When he fell to the ground covered in his own bright red blood, I slid into the driver's seat and drove through a busy park with reckless abandon.
I won't lie to you. I hit many, many people. While I can't say how many it was exactly, I garnered 4 white stars and a large police search canvas area. I know I should have surrendered, but I just don't know what got into me. While listening to my favorite hip-hop station, I led police on a three-mile chase through areas dense with innocent people. I was eventually shot, leading my vision to become monochromatic.
I want all my fans to know that I will do my best to redeem myself in your eyes. Though I came-to outside of the Liberty City Police Station two hours later after my arrest, I know that the damage has been done. I have decided from this point on to obey the plot's directive; to figure out just what the hell I'm supposed to do in this game while hitting fewer people and lampposts.
I hope those who hold tickets for the upcoming dates on my tour will still come to enjoy the shows to come.
Regretfully,
John,
proprietor,
Niko Bellic
There is also a pic that he drew. LOL. http://johnmayer.com/blog[/quote] |
