Also, does anyone know who he was talking about when he made the dedication during Wheel?

I didn't realize who it was till this morning, then I remember seeing that it was this man. I've never experienced bugs there like last night, and
I've seen John there now 4 times. i don't know what the hell was up. And that wasn't the hottest temps there either, I've seen him and others
there when it was super hot, like 105 degrees. This was the best time that I've seen him, and I think it was because he wasn't rushed by sharing the
stage with and 1/2 show like when he's played with counting crows or sheryl crow or something. I remember thinking at one point that the music just flows
through him, like, he's possessed with music or something. Can't think of how to describe it. Then other times, when he plays a song that's been a
single, i.e. Bigger Than My Body you admire him for crafting such a song so perfectly. When he's jamming, it's like the possessed thing I guess. It was
just badass, the whole concert.

This show was absoloutley awesome... It is the fifth mayer show I have been to, and at every one, there has been a couple that sits next to me, knowing none of
the songs, or none of the music, and SITS through the whole concert..
ANYWAYS thats that, THANK YOU DEBBIE FOR TAPING.... The show was absoloutley ridiculous awesome..... the Encore may have been one of the best I have seen to date.... The setlist was just so good as well.... We dealt with the traffic too and missed Brett Dennen's set as well, but, you win some and you lose some.... I didnt miss Colbie or John |

Debbie thanks bunches! Where were you taping from? Great sound, but no bass? And honestly, this was the time that I saw him and almost everyone was actually
singing, not talking during the lesser known songs.

I do believe there will be a better tape. there was a guy with BIG mics..but for now..you can listen to this one
I had some 12 yr olds 1st concert... in front of me and they were twitterpatted...certainly not by John but by Colbies drummer who came and stood by us. So during wheel they were a bit overcome... and we were in section one on the aisle row 10 I was in 6 but because were are 6 of us three in one place three in another it was quieter in 10 so I switched for the tape. and glad you guys are enjoying it...the new recorder is GOOOOOD debbie

Cait, I love where you watermark your pictures. I've never understood the lower righthand corner thing.

you're correct sam, i put it close to his face so that people can't just crop and steal my pictures. if people want something without a watermark,
i'm happy to send one, but they need to ask. i do try to make the watermark as unobtrusive as possible

I don't know why I always used to want to buzz my hair, but my mom never let me. Haha. So one year, in an act of rebellion, I did the opposite and grew it
out like Ryan's hair (gasp, I know). She hated that even more, and we never battled over buzz cuts again.
