John Mayer is one of my personal favorite artists so when this came out I was extremly excited. His previous DVD release, Any Given Thursday, was released during his early years. Since then his work has evolved tremdously.
Where the Light Is reflects on the evolution to that point. Its split up into 3 different sets, the first one is an acoustic set, going back to his days when he was playing Eddie's Attic in Atlanta. The second set brings back the John Mayer Trio and his blues album. And the final part of the set is his current incarnation when all of his styles are blended together.
What's great about this is that songs from all incarnations are played during the show. For example, Stop This Train, a song from his current album Continuum is played during his acoustic set, which was appopriate.
Bottom line, I've seen John Mayer live 30 times. And I wish I was at this show live. But, this DVD is a very good transfer of the show. And from what I've been reading the Blu-Ray transfer is even better, so when I get my Theater set up eventually one of the first things I'm going to do is put it in to hopefully take advantage of the full sound that it has to offer.
