Say what you will about John Mayer, but underneath all the tabloid noise and nonsense, the man knows how to play a live show. More importantly, he understands his public perception and how to work it to his advantage, which he did with tremendous, self-deprecating aplomb during his concert in Irvine, California on Tuesday night (August 24).
After warming up the pleasantly diverse crowd (especially diverse for Irvine) with tracks from his multi-platinum albums Battle Studies, Room for Squares and Continuum, he threw in a little Jimi Hendrix (complete with crazy guitar solo action) in the form of "Voodoo Child."
Mayer followed those tunes with the standard, "How you feeling, Irvine?" crowd pleasantries, but then took a few minutes to showcase the aforementioned aplomb, with a highly amusing monologue that segued into "Perfectly Lonely."
He began this little interlude by thanking the crowd for his current financial security.
