"I am invincible, You are invincible, We are invincible"

Well I certainly feel invincible.



The John Mayer concert was nothing short of Amazing.



I can hardly find the words to explain how fantastic it was. In fact the whole evening was perfect. Which hardly ever happens to me. Serenity & I got ready, made it through the rain to the bus stop. We got on the bus, then in a taxi and arrived at the TSB arena five minutes before our dinner reservation, which was right next door. As we cautiously made our way from the taxi on to the wet paved surface, in heels, we were granted an amazing treat. We could hear John Mayer performing his sound check. We stood at the walls of the venue, listening, jumping up and down with glee and laughing out how ridiculously excited we were. We then ran through the rain, to One Red Dog and gladly grabbed our table and ordered drinks and our meal. We ordered the anti-pasto, which as always was fantastic. Just look at it...

(I feel obliged to point out that there are six different types of cheese here. Also that there are little dishes of pesto and relish being hidden by the flat bread. That is all.)

After dinner we sat at the bar & met up with some old school friends Asha & Andy, who were also attending the concert. When it was time, we left the restaurant for the TSB arena.

There were no lines, we walked straight in, and found our amazing seats, three rows from the front, just a little right from the centre. We were stoked with our seats!

We arrived just in time to see the last few songs from the opening act, Lisa Crawley. She reminded me of a mix between Regina Spektor & Gin Wigmore - and she was fantastic!



John Mayer opened his show with 'No Such Thing' - which as a track on his album - wasn't one of my favourites. But this high energy song was perfect to open the show with and is now back in my play list rotation. Every song was perfect. He was surprisingly humble & charming on stage. I can't decide on a favourite song of the evening - they were all fantastic.

But I can say I am...



 ...so happy that he played 'Slow Dancing in a Burning Room'



...delighted & infatuated by the performance of 'Stop this Train'. The song deserves a post of it's own.



...excited & grateful to hear Live, a cover of Fleetwood Mac's 'Dreams'



...loving, more & more, each time I hear it after hearing 'Friends, Lovers or Nothing' played Live.



...taken by the way that he adjusted the lyrics im-prov styles, through many songs. Such as, from "I am invincible, I am invincible, I am invincible" to the title of this very post.



...hypnotised by the little ditty JM played acoustically as an interactive, 'poking-fun-at-self' interlude to 'Daughters'



AND...



...so thankful & feel so blessed that I was able to take my camera, so that I can re-live the night over & over, when ever I so choose.

I have heard of people talk about the afterglow you feel after seeing John Mayer Live. I didn't believe it until now. I hope my 'concert-coma' lasts just a little longer.
