All the qualities that have made John Mayer a rising star are on display in this concert package: an interesting voice; tunes that are catchy but still have some depth; an appealingly casual slacker attitude; and enough grit to separate him from the namby-pamby singer-songwriter crowd. Recorded in 2002 in Birmingham, Alabama, the nearly two-hour concert showcases not only Mayer's songs (including some new ones) and versatile three-piece band, but also his surprisingly deft guitar playing (check out his Hendrix-saturated stylings on the unaccompanied "Man on the Side"). There are plenty of extra features as well, including an audio track with Mayer's comments about the songs, photos, and two brief but well-made (especially "Any Given Soundcheck") documentaries. All in all, a worthy addition to the catalog of an artist who keeps getting better. --Sam Graham

Customer Rating: Summary: Any Given Thursday Review Comment: The commentary is hilarious and charismatic and the music is captivating as usual. The quality and sound are great - like being there. Well worth the money! Customer Rating: Summary: Splendid DVD of fine performance Comment: It may be the marketing of John Mayer as a product that puts some people off, but taking this out on the music as he performs it on this DVD just isn't fair. Ehen I fist saw it, I stil was in the process of familiarising myself with John Mayer's music -He Isn't that big here in Europe- being very impressed with 'Room for Squares'
Seeing him perprorm most of these tracks and some others that were on the way on 'New Deep', I was in awe.
Still it is strange to see John Mayer performs his songs for thirteen years olds, all wishing to be older. At the same time the singer- songwriter-guitarplayer looking like a teenager, giving a most credible and passionate rendering of 'Man in the side' playing some fantastic guitar in the process. I cannot say I look at this DVD on a regular basis, but after having heard one of his ealier songs on my Ipod, -we're well in the post-'çontinuum' era by now,I put it on again lately and was impressed again with the joy of hearing and watching of John Mayer as a performer. This man can really play, sing and perform, and all the songs still stand. Very glad I had the impulse of buying it, some years ago. Customer Rating: Summary: John Mayer Does Acoustic Guitar Comment: We like John. This 2002 concert was for us disappointing; 90% acoustic guitar. A nephew, 18 years old and a John fan, loved the DVD! His comments however focused mostly on John's technique not necessarily the music. Some have said the sound and video are not all that great. To be sure this is not a "Clapton, Crossroads" quality video but for us we would say the DVD is still very watchable. If you like John Mayer and enjoy acoustic guitar you will probably be pleased with this DVD. Customer Rating: Summary: John Mayer Any Given Thursday Comment: This was a very good concert. John was in great form. Voice sounded perfect. If your looking for a Mayer concert this is the one. Excellent shipping and DVD arrived in great condition. This is a winner and you will be happy with it, promise.
