Watched JM at the Beacon Theater on the tube tonight . . . thought the show was awesome - Sean kicked ass! Big fan of his stuff w/ Vertical Horizon.
Thought I would miss De La (and do) but the bass tones and performance was killer...

I was hoping to see Pino play with the band, but all in all it was still great.

Jordan does not usually play with Mayer live, outside the JMT.
He old tour band drummer was JJ Johnson.
Maybe it was because they were in NY. (Jordan's home town)
Was hoping to see Pino last night?
Sean Hurley sounded good though. |

I mentioned this in another thread last night, but I'll ask again:
What's with the switch from the Gibson and Divided By 13 rig to the Fender and SVT last night? Was he channeling DeLa and Pino? Did Mayer tell him to dump the boutique stuff and go with the industry standard? It just seems odd to me.

| maybe - also might be I think VH had a thing going with /13 (although I can't imagine who would turn down having JM's bass player endorse their product.)
but even the basses, I've seen him a lot w/ J style and lately w/ an epi - I think it was just the sound he/JM was going for... |

FYI, my wife is a huge Mayer fan. While she drools over him, I ogle the bass gear. :-)

Digging the Two Rock, eh?
Yeah, there's some seriously beautiful tube amp action on his stage.
We were in the front row at one of the shows on the Mayercraft cruise earlier this year. Mayer was two feet away from her and she was in ecstacy while I was trying to figure out the wacky effects unit that Robbie McIntosh was using. It looked like a blackface Fender Bassman, but it was some sort of tube sustainer.
It's a win-win! She gets to stalk JM and I get to see some really good shows! Looking forward to 12/29 at Copley Hall in San Diego. Trio!

Playing a '60 P-bass w/LaBella Flats for most of the Mayer show
Playing a Lakland Bob Glaub w/rounds on a couple songs (for grittier tone)
Playing a 60s Mustang on Crossroads-Mayer played the bass himself in the studio-Not Pino-for this one track on Battle Studies.
Playing a Kay hollowbody reissue for Who Says
Not using the 70s Gibson hollowbody (like an Epi Jack Casady) this tour
Using 2 (1 for backup) Vintage SVTs w/8x10
Just FYI Sean has become for first-call session player in L.A. for many top producers (like Glen Ballard!) over the last 5+ years or more.
IMO, Sean's playing is more like Pino's than DeLa's...maybe that's why he's got the gig now...??
ONE of my FAVE bassists working today for sure. |

Mojo-you're totally right. my mistake, it must be some televised live gigs i've seen had Jordan.
