Mayer crooned tunes at a special charity concert, "The Livingston Town Proper: A Concert to Benefit the Fighters of the Pine Creek Fire," which he orchestrated as a thank you to the firefighters who fought to put out last summer's massive Pine Creek Fire in Livingston, Mont.
The Jan. 16 show marked the first time Mayer has sung live in-concert since April 1, 2011. "I don't have a ton of range ... I'm a 70-year-old version of myself," Mayer told the crowd. "Lower your expectations."

"There's no talking for the first month -- and then, there's whispering," John told NPR back in May 2012. While Mayer was living "Like a monk," he was banned for singing for a six-month period and resorted to communicating via notebook and iPad messages.
Mayer sang tunes off his latest album, Born and Raised, and the concert at the Emerson Theater in downtown Bozeman included guests like Zac Brown and Clay Cook from Zac Brown Band.
John, who has a home nearby the fire-devastated area, raised more than $100,000 with the concert, which will benefit the firefighters who were on the scene.
