Rating:  - Best Freebe ever!
I got this Blu-ray as part of a free offer with my new Sony Blu-ray player and I have to say it is a purchase that just keeps on giving. One reviewer complained about the sound and image. I think the sound is great. The image was also as good as get for an on stage performance. Yes at times you see a bit of grain in the lights but that is more ambiance than defect. Low light recording does produce artifacts even in high defintion. The amount of music on this disc is huge as is its diversity as he plays solo and with two different bands. Great buy!
Rating: - refreshing
I suspect that most people who are considering buying this disc are already familiar with John Mayer. Then again, I'm sure I'm not the only one who got the disc with Sony's promotion for their Blu-ray player.
One review panned the disc because of bad video and sound quality. The quality you get will depend on your equipment. I have Sony's top end current generation TV, and their newest Blu-ray player, so I assume that I'm seeing it as they intended it. The video quality does not rise to what you might expect from blu-ray. Because of the concert hall spot lights, faces were washed out and lacking in detail.
As for the sound, a good recording can sound bad on bad equipment, but you can't make a bad recording sound good on good equipment. Top quality equipment will reproduce every flaw. If others heard good sound, there's a reason. The sound is excellent.
But what's most important is the music and presentation. If you are already a fan, stop reading and buy it. In my case, the audience members looked closer to my children's age than mine, so he obviously appeals to a younger fan base. But if you grew up listening to guitar, and enjoy the music of guitar heroes whose music is rooted in blues, you can be 60 and still like this music.
His singing is very good, and his guitar playing is excellent. I wouldn't use the word virtuoso, but I would say that he plays with feeling and emotion. His music is compelling.

Rating: - Great Concert!
I've watched this one several times and I have only had it for a week. It is great to see John Mayer as more than just the pop star. This show includes a large variety of his musical interests. I highly recommend it.
Rating: - A Diverse Portrait of the Next Great Guitarist
If there's one thing that John Mayer makes clear on this concert release, it's that he's not just the handsome pop-rock star that he has been painted as throughout his rise to fame. Mayer is really a man of two talents: A knack for catchy singer-songwriter radio hits, and some serious talent on blues guitar to the point where he's played with the likes of Eric Clapton and Herbie Handcock.
"Where the Light Is" works as both a showcase piece and perception-breaker for Mayer, who plays three distinct sets in a single night in L.A. The concert holds an loose and intimate feel, filmed in an appropriately conservative manner to allow viewers to observe the nuances of the performance.
Highlights include a fantastic surprise Tom Petty cover to close the acoustic set, and a surprisingly rollicking trio set where Mayer pulls out continuous blues licks like a kid in a candy store.
The fantastic visual quality of this blu-ray release is certain not to disappoint. It will satisfy longtime John Mayer fans, as well as turn the heads of those who may have written him off in the past. It is an excellent value by any standard, and a standout performance.
