In December 2007, American blues-rock guitarist John Mayer—at the peak of his tour supporting Continuum (2006), marking his shift to mature blues-rock after the pop success of Room for Squares—performed at Nokia Theatre (now Microsoft Theater) in Los Angeles, a 7,100-capacity venue where his show formed the basis for the DVD Where the Light Is: John Mayer Live in Los Angeles (2008). The 90-minute set, captured professionally, embodied the tour climax in three parts: acoustic (solo), trio (with Pino Palladino and Steve Jordan), and full band, where technical Fender Stratocaster solos merged with emotive vocals to spark collective ecstasy before a sold-out crowd. Featuring tracks like "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room", "Gravity", "Neon", "Waiting on the World to Change", and "Bold as Love", this performance highlighted his role as a leading modern blues guitarist, turning the Los Angeles theater into a space of genuine guitar dialogue.
