[/caption]I'm sooooooo late with this entry. I attended the John Mayer/Guster concert on July 18th. It was the best concert I've ever been to...musically. It was my second best concert experience. (Hootie in '99 stilll #1. That was sorta my first. lol). I don't know what to say about the actual concert. I just decided to post because I'm excited about music again. (Sidenote: I 100% take back that Nina recommendation below). But first I had to post about JM.Just read every fan's Mayer concert review. DITTO. blah. blah. Happy blahs. :) I'm thinking about going to see him every summer. But I only go to 1-2 concerts a year. So it depends on who else is on tour.
My favorite parts of the concert were him letting the audience (me too!) pretty much sing all of Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'", his banter and the best was War of My Life. I hate to admit this but I always thought of WAR as an album track...until I went to that concert. What he said during the song really resonated with me. For the next 2 months, whenever I would have a bad day I would listen to WAR. I love when a concert experience changes my feelings of a song.
