John Mayer continued his Search for Everything tour with a stop in Jones Beach where he spotted a familiar face in the crowd, prompting him to stop the show. 

“I’d actually like to thank this gentleman right here in the headband,” Mayer said. “This gentleman has been at every Dead & Company show, every show. Not almost every show – there’s maybe four or five people that I saw at every show.” 

Mayer commended the man on inspiring him throughout the show, saying, “And I’ll tell you something, I’ve looked to you at times when I wasn’t sure that I really knew what would come next, whether I was on the right part of the guitar neck or whether I was making any sense at all and this gentleman would just go like this (fist pump). It would bring me right back to the confidence to continue sort of exploring and searching and I just want to thank you. I want you to follow me around in life.”
