Album Description: Two CD set. This album captures the multi-Grammy Award winning, platinum selling singer and songwriter in the element where fans love him the most - Live on stage! The special concert includes three sets: an acoustic performance, a rare set with John Mayer Trio (with Steve Jordan and Pino Palladino), as well as a set featuring Mayer's full band, all recorded during the night of December 8, 2007 at the Nokia Theater in LA. This album features the quintessential performer as an acoustic songwriter, electric guitar slinger, bluesman and vocalist. Highlights include many of Mayer's biggest hits, 'Waiting On The World To Change' new interpretations of cover songs, 'Free Fallen' and a previously unreleased Mayer gem 'In Your Atmosphere'.
People en Español: The much anticipated double CD of John Mayer in concert includes all the guitar player’s hits, and the sound is unique. But the album is nothing more than a compilation of the different facets of Mayer, whose performance is divided into his three major stages. In the first part, he sings with the sole accompaniment of his acoustic guitar. Then he moves to a more jazz- and blues-inclined trio format (guitar, bass, and drums). Finally, Mayer joins his entire band with a rock sound. The truth is that the musician did not make the least effort to come up with new arrangements for his songs. If you have Mayer’s previous live CDs, there’s is not a single note here that you haven’t heard before. --Ernesto Sánchez (People en Español) He aquí el esperado disco doble en concierto de John Mayer, el mismo incluye todos los éxitos del guitarrista y tiene un sonido es excepcional. Pero también hay que decir que el disco nos es más que una compilación de las diferentes facetas de Mayer que dividió su actuación en tres etapas: la primera parte del concierto es él acompañado por su guitarra acústica, posteriormente viene una etapa con trío (guitarra, bajo y batería) que se inclina más hacía el Jazz y Blues, y finalmente podemos disfrutar de Mayer acompañado de toda su banda y con sonido rockero. La realidad es que el músico no hizo ningún esfuerzo por crear nuevo arreglos para sus canciones, si usted tiene los discos anteriores del cantautor en vivo, no tiene por qué comprar este, no hay una sola nota que no haya escuchado antes. Este disco es una compilación de éxitos en concierto. --Ernesto Sánchez (People en Español)

Rating: - amazing guitar
A great cd, shows how good he's with the guitar, the cd starts with a NEON acouistic version (simply amazing). I'm a heavy metal fan, but Jhon Mayer is one of the greatest guitar players alive. A must have cd for every R&B lover

Rating: - Where The Light Is: John Mayer - Live in Los Angeles
This is by far one of the best CD's I've ever heard. It's a 2-disc album and at first I listened to the first one, then the second (over and over again). Finally, I went back to the first CD and listened over and over again! Conclusion: both discs are absolutely fantastic!
Rating: - One of the best LIVE cds I've ever heard
John Mayer is on his way to becoming one of the best guitarist ever. He's amazing and this cd really shows how good he is live. It's a must buy for any JM fan.
