Simply phenomenal!
Let my begin by saying that this - in my opinion - John Mayer’s greatest and most important release. Following the release of Continuum, John Mayer was catapulted into international acclaim. This record showcases John at his best, performing a variety of old and new songs. I feel this is his best compilation, showcasing his ability to translate so well from record to stage. Acoustically, it is sublime. It is so well produced and engineered that this is one of few live releases where I feel in the room with the artist. From beginning to end, each song selection leads you on a journey from happiness, sadness, anger and ecstasy. It culminates in some of John’s best live solos and performances with Gravity. I think is truly one of his best releases, allowing him to be himself and bring his music down to earth.Moving on to the vinyl, I am highly impressed. I own several MOV releases and I always find them to be accurate, musical and spacious. I think they truly do go above and beyond to replicate the sound of the music while adding layer of audiophile grade goodness. Yes, it is a huge set of 4 vinyls. In order to fit these accurately, it is simply necessary to spread out the music this way. Presentation wise, it is a beautiful and simplistic design. Higher quality packaging than run of the mill record releases. Liner notes are plenty and it is a beautiful addition to any collection.

I love it!!
Rating music is hard because what I enjoy, someone else may not, but saying that, I am a John Mayer fan. I absolutely enjoyed these cds. The was it's broken up with acoustic songs then the John Mayer Trio, then The John Mayer band, it's a great collection of songs and sounds.

In My Atmosphere
My wife has always enjoyed John Mayer's music. Myself, I've learned to like it. A few weeks ago, she purchased John Mayer's latest, "Where The Light Is." For those who don't know, "Where The Light Is" is a live concert album that was recorded in Los Angeles in December 2007 and was released as a CD in July 2008. The concert is divided into three sections: acoustic, electric blues, and rock.Electric blues has always been a favorite of mine, so I settled into that part of the concert first. In the past, John's guitar work has been too laid back for me, so I really wasn't expecting a strong set. His rendition of "Come When I Call" sounded eerily familiar to that of the legendary Stevie Ray Vaughn, and then when he played a 10-minute solo on "Out of My Mind," he almost exorcised the talent of Jimi Hendrix. I was impressed.Heading back to the acoustic section, I found that I preferred his acoustic arrangements of "Neon" and "Daughters" to that of the originals. The acoustic guitar and John Mayer seemed to be made for each other.Finally, I listened to the section with John and his band. If you haven't seen him live in concert, this is pretty close. If you have, you'll be able to relive the moments. John's lead guitar work is on par with some of the best. Overall, I enjoy this CD. My wife has requested that I order one of my own and stop taking hers.

Incredible, worth it even just for the unreleased songs
I think that the song In Your Atmosphere is his best song ever. But, it's only released live on this album. Bold As Love live is great too. Every song on this album is great. It is missing Covered In Rain but that song is on other live albums.

Coming Into His Own
Young Johnny Boy is really starting to shine with his 30 years of maturity. I really never cared for his popish stuff a few years back pre electric guitar playing. He was good, but not really my style. Since he has been doing the electric thing with his trio and has played with some very veteran blues guys (not to mention any names) for these past few years, I think he has made some huge leaps and bounds. Something he was always into personally but did not show that side of himself until the last few years. Now he is really expanding more and more as an artist. Pretty amazing how he can pull off the SRV and Hendrix vibe but really doing his own thing while making his own statement. I have to admit, I really like his acoustic playing and singing on the this CD. Just shows his well roundness as a guitarist / singer. I like his vocal quality much more now which is showing his maturity as a singer. Being an excellent guitarist and vocalists, you can go a lot farther in today's market. Anyway, look forward to listening to him for years to come. Great CD. Also bought the DVD of this live concert.
