The Heart of New York City

New York City is a magical place this time of year, and I can't imagine living anywhere else. A fan made this video on his first trip to Manhattan and there is something just oh-so-fitting about the accompanying tune.

07-14-07 Hartford, CT

Since my last blog, I've received a bunch of links to taped JM shows from the last several years. Today I was sent a recording from the Hartford show during the 2007 summer tour (the one with Ben Folds) and instantly started laughing when I saw the setlist.

I remember being at that show, and a girl in the crowd holding up a sign declaring she was "Finally Legal". Needless to say, the intro to Vultures that night turned into a jam about all the things you can do when you turn 18. Or maybe just what this girl did.

"Gonna use my new I.D. to buy some poster board, gonna use my new I.D. to get myself a marker, gonna use my new ID (not the fake one) to get a ruler. Gonna go to the John Mayer show 'cause now I'm so much cooooooler."

I imagine she's finally able to enjoy an ice cold one now, too.

This show also featured a really great acoustic performance of Slow Dancing in the encore and it's nice to hear a live rendition of Dreaming With a Broken Heart.

Does anyone have a favorite performance or recording from the 2010 Summer Tour? Maybe it would be cool if we put a few of them together in an EP....
