JM on Dave Chappelle

I was looking for this clip when I made my John Mayer Top Ten Countdown, but couldn't find it.

I don't know where I'd put it in the countdown, but it'd be high up there because it's friggin' awesome.

Number 1 -- GMA

I know you've been on pins and needles waiting for my #1 pick, and here it is!
Another Eric Clapton song in my countdown... this time with Eric Clapton!



(yes, I was here, too!)

Number 2 -- with Brad Paisley

Here's JM with Brad Paisley, during a CMT show where they sang each other's songs (although in this clip, they are singing an Eric Clapton song). I guess they do that on CMT sometimes.




(yes, I was at this show, in the sixth row. btw, when JM tells BP that he got the words right, he was actually wrong.)

Number 3 -- Clarity at Red Rocks

This is a performance from another short-lived TV show called Pepsi Smash. I think it was just some show they did on Sunday evenings one summer. I was this close to being at this performance, because it was at the Red Rocks theater outside of Denver and I was going to go visit Jill and make her go with me to the concert. but I decided not to go, for some reason. Then when I watched this performance on TV, I was kicking myself.

This is another one of my favorite songs. Possibly my most favorite. It was the ringer on my phone for some time, so that means something, right?




Yes, just listening to it right now, I think I can say it's my favorite. Plus, I like this little interview with him at the beginning.


Here's an acoustic version of the song, which I also like:

Number Four -- Belief live from Abbey Road

"Belief" is another one of my favorites. He often opens with this song in concert, which I love.

Number Five -- Why Georgia

"Why Georgia" is my favorite JM song, depending on the day you ask me. This is a performance from some show, but the one I was looking for was from years ago when Ryan Seacrest had a little afternoon variety show. I don't think this one is as good, but it will have to do. (I think he was wearing this same t-shirt, though.) JM was one of his first (and only) guests before it was cancelled a few weeks later. Since I can't find that performance, I'll post this one instead. You definitely get to see a lot of his facial expressions, for which he is well known. They don't bother me. But he has made some progress in that area in recent years.

Number six -- Grammys

Number seven -- Letterman

(yes, I was at this show.)

Number Eight -- Human Nature

Number Nine -- Conan O'Brien

This is short, but sweet. JM shows up around 2:40.

Number 10 -- VH1 commercial

John Mayer has a new album coming out November 17. To get in the spirit, I'm going to post my top ten JM TV moments. Here's number 10.
