Given the theme, Mayer chose to debut the song "Waiting for the World to Change," off his upcoming album.

"ith fans tuning out FM radio and no longer browsing in record stores, touring plays a more important role in maintaining a strong fan connection -- a key reason singer-songwriter Mayer will be charging less for some tickets than he did in summer '04. "We need to make sure that the live experience is as accessible to as many people as possible," says Michael McDonald, Mayer's manager and also co-founder of New York-based ATO Records.
McDonald agrees that a loose outdoor vibe also plays a role in luring fans, particularly those leading harried, busy lives.
"There's not a whole lot of opportunity to sit on the grass and listen to great music and eat the food that you choose to eat," says McDonald, who is specifically routing Mayer's late-summer tour through some of the nation's more bucolic parks and scenic downtown waterfronts, "places that would be beautiful to just sit in," even if there was no music playing."
