Can I play it loud?” Easy listening? Not this set. LIVE, Los Angeles, CA, USA on Decemfrom the Continuum Tour and other John Mayer Setlists for free on setlist.

But on this two-disc live CD set (a DVD is sold separately), he proves he’s not just another easy-listening singer-songwriter with a better-than-average knack for the blues. This DVD captures the singer/songwriter in the element where fans love him the most: live on stage. >In the studio, John Mayer comes across as a technically proficient singer, songwriter and guitarist, although he can sound somewhat emotionally removed from his material.
