LIVE from Shoreline Amphitheater: John Mayer Sound Check

We are coming to you live from the sound check here at Shoreline Amphitheater on the eve of John Mayer's show scheduled to start in a few hours.  After some guitar riffs and solo parts, he broke into Belief - the full song - people have already started lining up to get in the parking lots which are not even open yet.  A small group of Local 83 fans have gathered awaiting their meet and greet opportunity.  It is a sunny afternoon here in Mountian View with a nice cool breeze and minus the bugs from last night.  Come back to Bed is the next song that rings through the amphitheater as Chad dials in the sound . . .  security, venue staff, vendors, in addition to the crew are bustling to get everything ready.  The chords echo across the Google campus (that surrounds the venue), the magic of the horns of Brad Mason and Bob Reynolds carry the song into it's lofty heights as John slowed the tempo down a bit.  And next on the sound check list,  JJ rips into the drums to get the mic levels just right as John starts in on Bold as Love - in part - that morphed into Wild Thing Hendrix style.  That's it for now . . . Photos will be posted after the show.  And quite possibly some audio.
