John Mayer’s halftime video interview also tells a story: he’s done and ready to move on. Yes he likes the new Wolf replica, but man is he heading out the door. DeadCo is ending because he’s moving on, and he’s the guy who really made it all possible on this larger scale of logistics. DeadCo would never have happened at this scale without Mayer, and he’s turning the page.
Looking at that Mayer PITS interview again, it really is pretty striking just HOW definitive he is that this will be the end of it. He says it so concretely, many times.
The (somewhat) shocking thing about that Mayer half-time interview is that after all of this time of him hanging around that scene, inside and outside the shows, none of that decency has rubbed off on him. Nope. Same ole d-bag self-centered a-hole.
But to try taking Mayer’s side of this, he’s probably long tired of feeling shackled into playing everything so fucking slow the way Weir wants it. So many times I see Mayer up there trying his best to play with energy when the tempos are mostly dragging. He doesn’t have to deal with that in his own band. So he’s probably like, “Okay guys, this has been great, but we’ve been using my crew and production team and I just want to go back to my own thing.” No shame in that, really. He gave these guys a HUGE boost in their retirement paychecks. I’m guessing that Jeff and Oteil were just paid like hired guns, although paid pretty well I’d assume, but Bob and Billy and Mickey have John to thank for a massive retirement paycheck.
I am not so sure if it's the tempos but maybe more so that he has to share the bounty, spotlight, and credited material. Maybe he's gotten bored playing other people's music and ultimately, as ever, may think he deserves or is entitled to more, more, more. He may have a long career ahead of him and it most recently sounds like he doesn't want to be/get pigeon-holed into being known as this particular frontman. I don't really care what becomes of him but will be happy to see him hopefully exit this scene after this last tour which can't come soon enough, really. He must be a real gem when you consider that NONE of his many ex-GF's have anything nice to say about him....except Katy Perry who liked him in bed.

Mayer bought the Grateful Dead like he would a fine wristwatch or a Tibetan robe.
He's a hipster collector, and they are walking antiques.

So many times I see Mayer up there trying his best to play with energy when the tempos are mostly dragging. He doesn’t have to deal with that in his own band.

He gave these guys a HUGE boost in their retirement paychecks. I’m guessing that Jeff and Oteil were just paid like hired guns, although paid pretty well I’d assume, but Bob and Billy and Mickey have John to thank for a massive retirement paycheck.
