That said, for fans of Mayer the songwriter, you really can't lose, as the guy is hard-pressed to come up with a bad song, and tracks like the fan favorite "Daughters" and the bittersweet "Stop This Train" really benefit from the acoustic reading Mayer gives them here. It should be noted that the concert is also available on DVD and Blu-ray, where you get see each band and appreciate the diversity among the ensembles.

However, segmenting this concert into such specific aesthetic sounds loses some of the diverse flow a Mayer concert usually has. Generally, the conceit works and the concert does shine a light, so to speak, on Mayer's virtuosic musical chops.

Essentially, the concert is designed to showcase Mayer's ability to move from melodic soft rock and pop to folky solo numbers and rockin' blues. As such, the evening works as a nice representation of Mayer's work beginning with the 2003 album Heavier Things and continuing through his creative reinvention as a modern electric blues artist with 2005's Try! John Mayer Trio Live in Concert and finally his smash Grammy-winning 2006 effort, Continuum. Its shot using high definition cameras and really has a nice, sharp quality to it.Recorded at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, California, Where the Light Is: John Mayer Live in Los Angeles finds singer/songwriter and guitarist John Mayer performing in three different band settings: acoustic trio, electric trio, and large ensemble. The highlight of the band event was obviously Gravity, which is his best performance of that song ever! The singing, the solo, the energy! It's just perfect! So overall this is DVD is definitely worth your purchase. The instrumentation is perfect and it just goes well with all the songs he performs. The Band set is what everyone was waiting for. You also get to see a very different side of Mayer which is quite unusual, and it's most present during his solo of the blues jam Out Of My Mind. The energy between the three is just insane and they really managed to kick it up a notch after the acoustic set. The Trio set is just drop-dead blues at its best.

He also introduces 2 new songs (one original and one cover) In Your Atmosphere and Free Fallin' which sounds amazing. The opening song Neon is the best version of that song I've heard him perform anywhere. This concert is categorized into 3 sections:- Acoustic, Trio & Band The Acoustic set is basically playing most of the songs that he plays the acoustic guitar on, but you'll be surprised on how different it sounds without the band.

Even the guitar solos are better than the originals. What's really interesting about this concert is that he has taken the best of his tracks (mainly from the Continuum album) and given it a whole new feel and sound. This concert is definitely one of the best concerts John Mayer has ever performed! His voice is amazing, his guitar playing's at another level, even the band has a great chemistry.
