Usually he did one right before he played in Atlanta (either late August or early Sept.). John has always come every year to play either downtown at the BJCC, or in nearby Pelham, AL at Oak Mountain Ampitheater (now Verizon Wireless Ampitheater, where he recorded Any Given Thursday). Anyone know why he decided not to come this year? He credits Birmingham as one of the cities that started his career, and it's where he recorded his first live CD (Any Given Thursday). I'm just curious if anyone knows, I'm so dissapointed! I could have driven all the way to Atlanta to see him, but it wouldn't have been the same! B'ham used to be one of the cities that he loved playing in the most! Last Edited By: BamaE92 09/07/2008 6:49 PM. Edited 3 times.

There was no way to convince anyone to drive all the way to ATL with me for the show. It was easy to get people to come when he played here in B'ham, plenty of my friends who went to U of Alabama and Auburn would come to the B'ham show too!

ETA: are you the same person who was bitching and moaning on l-83 about this same exact topic? sounds awfully familiar to that sob story over there ??? Are you serious??? I'm sorry if I somehow offended you, but no need to get so angry about something like this! Apparently you misunderstood, it's not about that I don't want to drive to ATL, it's about the fact that Birmingham used to be one of his favorite places to play and he would save some of his best "jam sessions" for B'ham. In other words, I'm just sad that I was missing out on the Birmingham concert experience. You got to live Any Given Thursday all over again when he played at Verizon Wireless Ampitheater, I just loved seeing him there specifically! Hopefully he'll fit it into his schedule next year, but if not I'll just remember B'ham as the end of an era and plan on getting some friends to head with me to ATL in advance. I know ya'll probably now don't respect me because I wouldn't go see John even by myself, but I just don't like to go to concerts alone, even if it's one of my favorite artists. Alabama Crimson Tide football though, is an exception. Anyway, hope you had fun seeing him in ATL, looks like it was amazing........

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	John told me that after the Tide lost to LA-Monroe last year, he lost complete respect for the state. that's why he's not coming to B-ham anymore. When I was a kid, when I was a little boy, I always wanted to be a dinosaur. I wanted to be a Tyrannosaurus Rex more than anything in the world! I made my arms short, and I roamed the backyard, and I chased the neighborhood cats, and I growled and I roared and everybody knew me and was afraid of me. But then one day my dad said "Bobby, you're 17. It's time to throw childish things aside." And I said, "Okay, Pop." But he really didn't say that, he said "Quit being a fucking dinosaur and get a job."

Those are fighting words! Haha.....well maybe he regained respect now that Bama started off the season by demolishing Clemson, which supposedly was the top ACC team and #9 in the nation at the Georgia Dome!

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	I think it was just kinda silly to make a new post out of this....what what do I know. It's over with..gee I wished he played in LA too. But Irvine it was..you would think when a guy lived in LA he would play in his own town. Look just seems like a bunch of whining. I get the Birmingham connection. But to tell you the truth I think that second leg was an afterthought and maybe he got what he could get....maybe the powers that be said well you got a couple of places to play pick ONE in that area... I am sure he will play Birmingham again. I am sure he will play Atlanta again. Just be happy you live close to somewhere he does play. You missed him so see him next time. If you don't go to concerts by yourself then okay...but don't whine over something that maybe the guy had no control over and then way after the fact... just seems totally pointless. You had to know you would get slammed for this...or did you just pop on here and decide here's a friendly board I'll post??????? debbie it turns out he has a "roving penis " which prompted her to eject him from the magical land of constantly erect nipples...french publication

The drive to Atlanta is shorter than the drive to B'ham for Auburn folks.

When I was a kid, when I was a little boy, I always wanted to be a dinosaur. I wanted to be a Tyrannosaurus Rex more than anything in the world! I made my arms short, and I roamed the backyard, and I chased the neighborhood cats, and I growled and I roared and everybody knew me and was afraid of me.

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	You know I don't think John himself sits down and decides exactly when, where and in what venue his concerts will be held. He is a huge money maker now for all these different people who work on his tour and companies that sponsor his tour. They are going to pick the locations and the venues that will make the largest profit....it's all about the benjamins baby .....LOL

Birmingham was one of the first places to embrace John and his music-- one would think that he'd stop there on a tour. I'm sure it was a scheduling thing though. He'll have new stuff out again soon. He'll come back. No lecture or yelling from me.

But I agree with you time me At the risk of being beaten down... That kid dancing in Jesters signature is now haunting me in my dreams....

He'll come back. No lecture or yelling from me. Alright! Someone that understands what I was getting at! And to hipplar, that quote came from when he was finishing Your Body Is a Wonderland, as a radio station in B'ham is what got that song started. Yeah, it does make sense that possibly those above John said he had to pick one place in the South to really focus on this year, and it would only make sense that ATL would be chosen as its the biggest city in the South and also responsible for getting him started. I guess some people just missed the key phrase in my original post "I'm just curious if anyone knows". I just figured that everyone here would be the John Mayer gurus that possibly heard why he decided to not play in one of his "original" cities this year as I was curious. Sure, I was dissapointed he didn't come this year, but I didn't think I came across as "whining", but "dissapointed and wanting to know why". I searched this topic and couldn't find an answer, so I just made a new topic about it. I just didn't expect anyone would get their panties in a wad over something like this...... And to the person who thought I was complaining about a drive to ATL, you are talking to someone who did a total of 23 hours of driving with a friend to see Garth Brooks play in Kansas City last November.
