So 'Where the Light Is' is a wonderful surprise, a live film brimming with musical virtuosity, manic energy, and even a few enlightening (if pretentious) interstitial interviews with Mayer that elevate it above simply being a photographed live event. I've always thought of him as a twentysomething version of Sting's solo career - pleasant, radio friendly, and the musical equivalent of adult contemporary wallpaper. I just didn't really want to check this one out, because I'm rarely a fan of Mayer's music. So it was with 'Where the Light Is,' John Mayer's first-ever Blu-ray release. Usually, I either like a band or I don't - all the cool pyrotechnics and fancy choreography don't matter a whit if I don't like the tunes. Seldom does a concert disc come along that changes my perception of the artist.
