    "John Mayer 💎 on Instagram: "This was the tour where all the pieces fell into place. The first tour without an album behind it, and a giant leap of faith that these songs could still matter after their time as chart contenders. You came, and you sang, and danced and wiped away tears and took inventory of what you had and what you'd lost, and all that's left to discover, and I was thinking the same things right along with you, every night. Dead and Company taught me the "we" of you and me. The "we" of a band. This most excellent, loving band. "We used to play for silver, now we play for life." We're off to Europe to play some very exciting shows soon, but not before thinking back on what - and who - you've shown to me. Thank you."".
