Mayer certainly has the chops, as evidenced by his recent gig with Phil recreating 5/8/77, and I'll be interested to hear this project. That said, while I totally get people preferring others over him based on different playing styles, closed-minded outright dismissals like Concert Joe's, above, are laughable for their ignorance and hypocrisy. Also, I can't see how anyone could feel burned that this is happening after Chicago. As edger pointed out, they were careful to say only that the "core four" wouldn't reunite.I'm sure everyone there will have a grand old time, which will qualify this as a win.
