John Mayer wrapped up the Australian portion of his world tour at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia on Friday night–delivering three sets of originals and a fan-favorite cover of Tom Petty‘s “Free Fallin’”. The show was divided into three sets: one full band set, an acoustic portion, and a third full band set, plus an encore.
The first set was highlighted by the return of two originals that had been on the shelf since 2017, “Half of My Heart” and “In Repair”, as well his 2018 single, “New Light“. Then, Mayer stripped down for the solo acoustic portion of the evening, delivering heartfelt versions of “Emoji of a Wave”, another rarity “Walt Grace’s Submarine Test, January 1967”, which also had not been played since 2017, “Your Body Is A Wonderland”, and “Free Fallin’”. The full band returned for the third set, and a candid Mayer attempted to take a fan request of “Come Back To Bed” but forgot how to play it. The band went on to perform “If I Ever Get Around To Living”, followed by his newest single, “I Guess I Just Feel Like” and “Dear Marie” to close the show. For the encore, the band re-emerged for “Vultures” and “Gravity”.
John Mayer continues his world tour on Monday in Singapore. Head to his official website for a full list of tour dates.
