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.
