5 things I typed into my iPhone at Tiger Jam

1. I can't believe the show is starting on time with so many seats still empty. Maybe this is related to the fact that nobody seems to know who the opening act is. I embarrassingly recognize him as Tyler Hilton from a song I heard on One Tree Hill. I swear, I've only seen that one episode!

2. John Mayer opens his set with "Who Says," you know, the song about getting stoned. He grew his hair and dressed like Johnny Depp to match.

3. I've never heard a live guitar solo as face melting as how Mayer ended "Gravity." The crowd is collectively losing it's mind.

4. Keith Urban opens his set with "Put You In A Song." Mayer put on a great show, but he isn't half the entertainer Urban is. Completely different vibe... speaking of which, where did all these drunk soccer moms come from?

5. Mayer and Urban performed three songs together—The Band's "Up On Cripple Creek" and Urban's "Sweet Thing" and "'Til Summer Comes Around." There's an undeniable chemistry between these two as musicians. Incredible guitar playing. Wish they'd done more together.
