His eyes were clean and pure but his mind was so deranged

I've been coming to where I am from the get go
Find that I can groove with the beat when I let go
So put your worries on hold
Get up and groove with the rhythm in your soul

Well I know I was talkin' shit but I'll eat my words hear.

Just watched a bunch of YouTubes from the Albany show and Mayer did not suck.

Even though none on the stuff I watched was 'type 2' jamming per say, the guy sounded pretty on point.
Bring in the dude!

Went to the show last night, and John Mayer blew away my expectations of him, i thought he sounded really good. They are sounded good. Except my one complaint is how some songs are so much slower. The Touch of Grey encore was played really well, but just a such a slow pace there was not that much energy. BUt all around i thought the show was good, besides the terrible segue from Slipknot > Franklins.

Also i would not of minded if Mayer sang on some more songs. I thought his voice sounded really good on the ones he did sing.

Alright, so after further inspection here -- My initial thoughts on Mayer were kinda re-confirmed.

The dude CAN play, I'm def more impressed with his technical ability and creativity that I thought I would be. It's not just blues licks either, he's doing some nice stuff in his solos.

BUT, it still is way more of him 'soloing' on top of the band, than 'full band jamming'.  Which, that was only really noticeable in the songs that usually go deep type-2 (like that Playin' jam above) -- it definitely didn't feel like the music could veer off in any direction at any given moment. I'm not sure Mayer understands how to jam like that.  But, like I said, those instances are the minority.  His playing style works pretty well for the majority of Dead tunes that are guitar solo based 'jams' over a set progression.

I just gave the Morning Dew a spin and it was pretty freakin' good but I do see where you're coming from WTU. May try listening to the Terrapin later.

My GF got me tix for the DC show for my birthday. Actually really excited to go and check it out. Hard not to compare the FTW shows to this band but will keep an open mind.

Lifeboy

I've been pleasantly surprised with what I've heard so far. Like Igbo said though: it's hard not to compare it to FTW...
