John Mayer - Vultures Lyrics

Power is made by pure m a n i p u l a t i o n

2010, anyone?

The lyrics are inspiring 2020

Very Steely Danny..

Steve Jordan's timing is absolutely perfect on the drums. Stays in the pocket, and knows when to show off

"Power is made by pure manipulation"

Love you john

Love how in the final moments ,John keeps the guitar alive as the drums and bass fade as to say he's not giving up and goin on even when it's a struggle.

Soo perfect❤️❤️🙌🙌

One of his best live performances

Geez how adorable are you two. Super cute.

Don't care if u don't like me u can still play that music w soul white 👦

I used to think John was a no talent ass clown. Then I was "dragged" to a concert during his Continuum tour, just before this performance in LA, actually. He came on stage and started playing / singing Vultures and I lose my shit. Been a fan ever since, been to 7 concerts and counting.

Mr lyons class 😍😍

John Mayer is the shit dude

2.28 is awesome

I love you John this song was inspiration and pulled me through getting the CPA license, i hope to see you for a third time live😘❤🙏🥳

Damn, I swear he is Stevie Ray Vaughan reincarnated!!

Done my man Mayer wrong in the thumbnail

Ladies and Gentlemen, please fasten your seatbelt low and tight across your lap. Wheels up, bitch... It's gonna be a good ride...

its already 2019, this still a bop for me

Gold. Pure gold.

Still watchin in 2019

There’s a hell of a lot of Wayne Krantz style playing going on there

1:03 anyone notice the screen in front of him showing the lyrics😂

Okay guys go to 3:32 and you tell me that isn’t Taylor Swift in the front row

john always using the gold strat for vultures fuck yeah

Pino! Smooth as a gravy sandwich!

Trade Craft.

That bassline at 3:36 !!

Man that solo is tasty as fuck.

seducing girls with his guitar ..,

2019 whos listening?!!

I wonder what kind of person dislikes this.

The perfect definition of the perfect band, live in concert. This is so incredibly tight and the vocals are truly spot on, they were so lucky to have met each other. Absolutely the best live album ever.

Someone know the drummer's name?
Edit: Steve Jordan

Pino Palladino!!!! OHHH FUCKING YESSSS

From 4:42 he is playing that base line with his thumb. The guy is a freak I tried to replicate this move and a normal human hand shouldn’t be able to do this

Damn dat Pino tho....

why he changed the lyrics “power is made by power being taken” to “power is made by pure manipulation”

jun lee it’s his song he can sing what ever he’s feeling at the time...

LYRICS
Some of us, we're hardly ever here
The rest of us, we're born to disappear
How do I stop myself from
Being just a number?
How will I hold my head
To keep from going under?
Down to the wire
I wanted water, but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing me
How did they find me here?
What do they want from me?
All of these vultures hiding
Right outside my door
I hear them whisperin'
They're tryin' to ride it out
They've never gone this long
Without a kill before
Down to the wire
I wanted water, but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing me
Wheels up
I got to leave this evening
Can't seem to shake these vultures
Off of my trail
Power is made by power being taken
So I keep on running
To protect my situation
Down to the wire
I wanted water, but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing me
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
What'cha gonna do about it?
What'cha gonna do about it?
What'cha gonna do about it?
Don't give up, give up, give up
Don't give up, give up, give up
Don't give up, give up, give up

Some of us, we're hardly ever here
The rest of us, we're born to disappear
How do I stop myself from
Being just a number?
How will I hold my head
To keep from going under?
Down to the wire
I wanted water, but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing me
How did they find me here?
What do they want from me?
All of these vultures hiding
Right outside my door
I hear them whisperin'
They're tryin' to ride it out
They've never gone this long
Without a kill before
Down to the wire
I wanted water, but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing me
Wheels up
I got to leave this evening
Can't seem to shake these vultures
Off of my trail
Power is made by power being taken
So I keep on running
To protect my situation
Down to the wire
I wanted water, but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing me
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
What'cha gonna do about it?
What'cha gonna do about it?
What'cha gonna do about it?
Don't give up, give up, give up
Don't give up, give up, give up
Don't give up, give up, give up

Help!! My replay button is broken!

Steve Jordan can sing back vocals too?.... not enough he’s a living metronome

CANNOT. STOP. LISTENING. 2019 STILL HERE?

Adoro esta cancion... hace notar como disfruta de lo que hace!!!

Replicating this song in a cover would be a heck of a job, so much subtle stuff in his playing

Μπράβο στο παλικάρι!!!

What a talent.

Marry Me !!!

GROOVE is the NEW SEXY

Love his tone.

Has he since had such an amazing gig like this one? Because I keep coming back and listening to Live in LA.

the entire 2017 tour was the same layout as this check the archives out on archive.org

@tdg. thanks! 😊

This song has deep meaning to me. It keeps me going and to ignore those that try to tear me apart.

This sole song gets me out of bed in the morning and to be my best self.

John Mayer please never stop playing such meaningful music ❤️ 🎶

I’m here in 2019 and I honestly could care less. This is classic

I play this song on the string D, G and B so that i can bar double stops with one finger. Idk why he does it the harder way honestly.

Channeling his inner Knopfler!

Absolutely amazing musicianship over here! Those riffs are sexy as fuck! I am obsessed with John Mayer, this guy is a genius!

best vultures performance

His penis has been inside Katy Perry!

Ohh man ... perfect

Great Great Song!! Excellent 🕊✨💫❤️

Those are some legendary fingerpicking

Loveeee.. this song..Omg!..So much Emotion in his guitar playing!

Is that Pino Palladino on bass?

oh so good! 👀🎸😎🤘🤘🤘

Evan Jalovec ! Keep your Head Up , luv you the most Momma Bird

Does anyone have the video where at the start John is singing a harmony with his guitar if you know what i mean? i have been trying to find it for ages!!!

lose colorful

che talento

Trio extraordinaire!

Pino palladino looks like michael rosen

i love his music but all i can think about is what he said about black women 🤧

continuum is my favorite album tho

I didn’t know John Mayer was a wedding singer

Love John stopping Pino from coming in too early at the start, eager beaver!

Gerry wow I missed that the first time around. Although to me it just looks like he’s counting both of them in.

I kinda feel these guys are just playing by numbers now. They're all such fantastic musicians in there own right but theres something missing now? Check out ain't no sunshine at crossroads, they wanna be there and are looking to impress...
