John Mayer: Battle Studies at The Verizon Center

February 20: It was an exciting night for many in DC with the John Mayer concert, with Michael Franti & Spearhead opening. The restaurants were packed, the fans were pumped up, and the Verizon Center seemed like it was at full capacity.

The concert went well, the vocals were clear and the music was at the right volume. Michael Franti & Spearhead dished out an energetic and fun mix of songs, and many will recognize their hit Say Hey (I Love You).

When John Mayer came on, the house roused with cheer and a frenzy of flash bulbs went off as he started off his set with Heartbreak Warfare. The show wasn't extravagant as far as effects, but his presence and songs were enthralling. He's been in the music biz for 10 years and he's thankful. I think he loves DC fans just as he loves fans everywhere else, but we'll see if he makes a hell-a-boat to cruise the Potomac.
