During a San Francisco stop on his solo tour, John Mayer jammed with his Dead & Company bandmate Bob Weir for two songs, and even invited former Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar onstage to add vocals to the second.
Hints of Weir's sit-in started appearing in Mayer's first set, when he opened his "Somethin Like Olivia" with a tease of the Grateful Dead classic "China Cat Sunflower."
Later, after opening the second half with acoustic versions of "Emoji of a Wave" and "Daughters" (as well as a plugged-in version of Tom Petty's "Freefallin'"), Weir eventually emerged from the wings to add guitar to Mayer's Born and Raised cut "Queen of California."
Then, the party cranked up to the next level when Weir's longtime friend Hagar grabbed the mic to sing "Fire on the Mountain."
From there, Mayer offered a trio of "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room," "In the Blood" and "Gravity" before encoring with his newest single "Born & Raised" as well as "New Light."
