You know a great guitar player when he enjoys perform his own music. And John Mayer goes nuts every time he plays Gravity.

[WeTalk]

As a guitar player, I admire this guy more than I should.

I was there and I cried in that solo, because during the entire concert John seemed a little nervous and kind of worried about the limited time to perform, but in that moment he spread his wings and was at his best. As a guitar player myself i recognize the moment when music takes over and you are only a channel for something bigger come to existence, you are only yourself, and yet everyone else at the same time... A moment like this makes a whole life worth living.

This is why Brazilians say “Come to brazil” to every musician 👏🏽👏🏽 best crowd. Great job Mr Mayer dropping the guitar “let the gravity do its work” before the final solo.

Bucketlist: Go to a John Mayer concert in Brazil. Holy crap this beat the Los Angeles crowd by far

07:26 What a bound and chemistry from the band especially drummer, man. He is waiting john to get the notes.
Insane performance!!

[JMartinDA]

His first time in Brazil and he gave them the show they deserved. John mayer is a legend.

I've heard gravity like a thousand times and this is by far the best one!!!

[thomascorneliomusic]

That crowd shocked me when they starting singing so loud, wowoowowow.

[LTor]

After this solo, I confirmed something what I already knew: this guy is the best composer, guitarist and the complete artist in the world in this time!!
COME BACK TO BRAZIL, JOHN... You're the best!! :D

That guitar is so worn and well loved and well played, and I love that so much.

I remember this day, I was in the building in front of the festival, I went down the street and went to the festival gate, and you were playing, unfortunately I didn't have money to enter the festival and I stayed listening from outside, but I thank you for adding musical value to my life. ♥

Legend has it that the guitar got pregnant that night. True story.

Some storytelling: in this day he was the opening act for Bruce Springsteen, but it was John's first time ever in Brazil, so a lot of fans flew from every corner of the country to watch his show. After he finished his performance, a huge part of the audience went home since some people were standing there waiting for John under a very hot sun for 10 hours or so. Afterwards Bruce did an amazing show (as usual) of about three hours that pissed off the organization because it wasn't supposed to last that long, but for a way smaller audience than John, although it was still like tens of thousands of people. Some people even argued that John should be the final act of the day, but I personally think that Bruce being the opening act for John would be a little too much lol

Definitely one of the most beautiful performances of Gravity!

[lexi-opvk]

I love this crowd, here and in other videos they are so excited and happy, they cry, they scream, they're loving what they're watching and you can feel that

[Mariflu]

Quanta emoção ver o John fazendo um solo incrível desse!!! Melhor show, incrível, incrível, que saudade desse dia! PLEEEASE, COME BACK!

[guitarguy]

I've watched a lot of JM performances...this one blows them away by far. Throwing the guitar on the ground and then crushing that solo....are you kidding me?

[raymondsykes]

This solo is still by far one of the most authentic things ive seen in so long. Just him, focused ENTIRELY on the guitar. And playing exactly how he felt. So beautiful

[voxluce]

Man, this Gravity was mind-flowing! Thank you, John and Rio!
