It should be noted that the concert is also available on DVD and Blu-ray, where you get see each band and appreciate the diversity among the ensembles. However, segmenting this concert into such specific aesthetic sounds loses some of the diverse flow a Mayer concert usually has. Generally, the conceit works and the concert does shine a light, so to speak, on Mayer’s virtuosic musical chops. Essentially, the concert is designed to showcase Mayer’s ability to move from melodic soft rock and pop to folky solo numbers and rockin’ blues. As such, the evening works as a nice representation of Mayer’s work beginning with the 2003 album Heavier Things and continuing through his creative reinvention as a modern electric blues artist with 2005’s Try! John Mayer Trio Live in Concert and finally his smash Grammy-winning 2006 effort, Continuum.
Recorded at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, California, Where the Light Is: John Mayer Live in Los Angeles finds singer/songwriter and guitarist John Mayer performing in three different band settings: acoustic trio, electric trio, and large ensemble.
