I also love that he does some Jimi, Tom Petty, and others blues covers. I love that it contains songs from his whole discography and not just from Continuum. I Dont Need No Doctor (from 'Where the Light Is: John Mayer Live in Los Angeles' album) In Your Atmosphere (from 'Where the Light Is: John Mayer Live in Los Angeles' album) Kid A (from 'Bigger Than My Body' single) Man On The Side. John Mayer is the offspring of Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan, and this album is so clean and crisp. It isn’t quite as thrilling as Petty’s original, but it is a valid and highly effective interpretation of a fantastic song, and ranks as one of the best of Mayer’s live covers. Free Fallin (from 'Where the Light Is: John Mayer Live in Los Angeles' album) Go Easy On Me. Like Petty, Mayer sounds bland and self-satisfied when he talks about the girl in question and only shows any passion on the chorus, where he exults in his own indifference, so I’d say he perfectly grasps the meaning of the song. But the guitar work is, as usual with Mayer, extremely impressive, and both the arrangement and Mayer’s somewhat bland and smug-sounding vocal delivery (which, I admit, has always been his biggest liability) are ideal for this song, which is after all the ultimate anthem to not giving a crap. John Mayer é indubitavelmente um dos artistas mais importantes da sua geração. Probably part of the reason some people objected to it, besides the perceived blasphemy of an act they don’t respect covering Tom Petty, is that this version is quite a bit more mellow and Easy Listening-esque than the original. In 2007 John Mayer included a live cover version on his live album Where the Light Is.
Like most of John Mayer’s work, this cover from his live album Where the Light Is has its detractors, but I’d say it’s a near-perfect fit for his style. 'Free Fallin'' is the opening track from Tom Petty's 1989 solo album, Full Moon Fever.
