Video: John Mayer Commands Webster Hall In Newly Remastered 2006 Set

John Mayer was hitting his stride in September 2006, deep into the tour behind ‘Continuum’ and stepping fully into the mature blues-rock that followed his pop breakthrough on ‘Room for Squares’. The 90-minute set on September 13, captured professionally and now remastered in 4K UHD for a 2025 release, caught him at the climax of that run inside Webster Hall, New York’s legendary 1,500-capacity room that opened in 1886. His Fender Stratocaster solos locked in with funky riffs from a band that included Pino Palladino on bass and Steve Jordan on drums, moving through “Waiting on the World to Change,” “Gravity,” “Slow Dancing in a Burning Room,” and “Vultures” before a sold-out crowd, proof of his standing as one of the leading modern blues guitarists.
