In August 2014, American blues-rock guitarist John Mayer—at the peak of the Born and Raised tour supporting Paradise Valley (2013), marking his shift to acoustic and country-oriented sound after Battle Studies—performed at Budweiser Made in America Festival, the first and only Los Angeles edition curated by Jay-Z at Grand Park. His 90-minute Marilyn Stage set on August 31, captured in high quality, embodied the tour climax, where technical Fender Stratocaster solos merged with emotive vocals and funky riffs from his band to evoke warm resonance under California sun. Featuring tracks like "Gravity", "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room", "Who Says", and a Beyoncé "XO" cover, this show highlighted his role as a leading modern blues guitarist, turning the festival stage into a space of genuine unity.
