THE LIVE VERSION OF THIS PHOTO IS EVEN BETTER

"Oh, man," proclaims Columbia's Jim Burruss to artist John Mayer after his iHeartRadio Theater solo show, "when you went into those modal runs during 'China Cat Sunflower/Space/Franklin's Tower' and the mescaline kicked in, I saw a giant Ron Perry head in the sky that was, like made of light, dude." Later, everyone enjoyed a backstage deli platter. Seen just before trading tapes of this event are (l-r) SVP Adult Formats Pete Cosenza, iHeart's Brandon Bell, Burruss, Mayer, iHeart's John Peake, Columbia Sr. Director Pop Promo Samantha Brenner and local Joe Roselli.

Mayer debuted new song "I Guess I Just Feel Like" during the show; check it out here.
