I'm never speaking up again
I figured it was about time to write about the Maroon5/John Mayer concert. I don't want to wait too long and forget all the goodness.
So here it goes:
Amee picked me up and we went to get Candace. Her sister's fiancee Joe had apparently just bought a ticket so driving plans changed and he ended up driving us there and back. Joe is attractive so I didn't really complain.
So we got to Jones Beach and the sun was still out, so we were pretty hopeful that we wouldn't get the rain shower we had expected.
Candace and I "got on line" to buy stuff. We bought huge matching John Mayer sweatshirts because matching is hott and so are we.
So we headed in and found our seats. Which were infuckingcredible. So close. 16th row, center. So we sat down and crappy techno started playing so Amee and I assumed that DJ Logic was coming on. Wasn't too excited to see that, but just as we started complaining everyone started screaming and I realized that Maroon5 was walking out and that life is good. Even though this was my third time seeing them I still get that same feeling whenvever they walk out. I just absolutely adore them.
So I got into my fangirl phase once they started playing. Adam is just the most beautiful man alive.
Anyway, I love going to concerts with Amee. I just genuinely enjoy her company at shows because I think we both go in the same state of mind. I just like to enjoy a band's performance even if I look like an idiot. I don't care and I feel so comfortable being like that with Amee.
So Maroon5's setlist was really good. I wished they would have played 'Must Get Out' but they basically played their whole album. Good stuff.
Halfway through their set I realized that I was wearing the John Mayer sweatshirt and I gasped, turned to Amee and said "Oh my god. I have to take this off. He'll get the wrong idea". She said "Who?" And I said "Adam!" Yeah, I'm a sad sad individual.
The encore was incredible. Ryan wasn't on drums because he hurt his elbow a couple months back but he came on to sing 'Highway to Hell' with Adam <3 on drums. It was really weird to see Ryan, who is so quiet, to be rocking out like that. It was surprising and a great way to end the set. I was impressed.
Here's the setlist, as well as I remember it:
Through With You
Tangled
Not Coming Home
The Sun
This Love
She Will Be Loved
Harder to Breathe
Sunday Morning
Ain't No Sunshine --> Shiver
Highway to Hell
Then came John. My first time seeing him and I thought he was incredible. I never knew that he could play guitar like he does. It's pretty amazing. He has really awesome stage presence. He just seems totally in tune and comfortable with the audience. He was great. I don't really know what else to say. And he wears boy pants. That makes him magical.
Every once in a while I would just look around and take the time to realize where I was and how lucky I am. Candace got really excited when he played an acoustic encore of 'Comfortable'. The theater kind of calmed and the three of us just stood there, listening together. It was just one of those moments that just felt charged and I felt so lucky to have such amazing friends and to be where I was. It was nice. I don't get that way too often but I guess I have just realized lately that there is a limited amount of time I have to spend with these people who mean so much to me. It was nice to just stop and take that feeling in for a little while.
Here's John's setlist that I stole from Amee:
Bigger Than My Body
New Deep
Why Georgia
Split Screen Sadness
My Stupid Mouth
Wait Until Tomorrow/Voodoo Child
Only Heart
Daughters
No Such Thing
Come Back to Bed
Your Body is a Wonderland
Inner City Blues (Superstition in there too)
Clarity
encore:
Comfortable
Neon, with This Love intro
Yeah. It was an amazing concert. <3
