'''''As/Is''''' is a live album by [[John Mayer (musician)|John Mayer]], released October 19, [[2004 in music|2004]], available for download from [[iTunes Store|iTunes]] and also available as a double-CD release. The albums were released from live concert performances across the United States from the tour following the release of Mayer's second album, ''[[Heavier Things]]''. The recordings include five albums-worth of material as sold on iTunes. As of July 2009, the four concert-specific albums were still available on iTunes in the United States, though Volume One is no longer available; Each album has its own artwork. A two-disc compilation was released physically and digitally which features the "best" of the iTunes series, plus an additional song, "[[Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)]]", a [[Marvin Gaye]] [[cover version|cover]]. In "Inner City Blues", Mayer called upon [[DJ Logic]], the support act of the ''Heavier Things'' tour, to join him to perform a turntable solo.

==Performing band==
The songs all feature Mayer's touring band of the time:

* [[John Mayer]] – [[guitar]] and vocals
* [[David LaBruyere]] – bass guitar
* [[David Ryan Harris]] – guitar and backing vocals
* [[JJ Johnson (musician)|JJ Johnson]] – drums and percussion
* Michael Chaves – guitar & vocals
* [[Eric Jacobson (musician)|Eric Jacobson]] – trumpet and dented flugelhorn 
* [[Chris Karlic]] – saxophone and flute
* [[Kevin Lovejoy]] – keyboards

==Cover art for the series==
[[File:Great Wave off Kanagawa2.jpg|left|thumb|140px|''[[The Great Wave off Kanagawa]]'' is the basis of the CD cover.]] Volume one features a cut-out silhouette version of Mayer (from the cover of ''[[Heavier Things]]'') with two tones of blue. As it is separate from the other volumes, its artwork is rather distinct from the rest.

Artwork for the covers of volumes two, three, four, and five is by the artist [[Kozyndan]].  They feature [[bunnies]] in out-of-character situations on their covers, including hanging from [[helium]] balloons (two) and in [[washing machine]]s (three). The bunnies on the cover of four begin as [[amoeba]] and diagonally evolve into bunnies. The cover of volume five has several bunnies with their midsections replaced with springs.

The CD release continued the use of bunnies, using the artwork 'Uprisings' by [[Kozyndan]], which has hundreds of bunnies in formation to appear like revered Japanese artwork ''[[The Great Wave off Kanagawa]]''. The artwork was originally created as a cover for issue 28 of the magazine ''[[Giant Robot (magazine)|Giant Robot]]''.<ref>[http://www.kozyndan.com/art/uprisings Kozyndan - Uprisings]</ref> Notably, the CD is considered volume six (the last) of the series, and ''The Great Wave'' woodblock printing is the first of a 36-part series of art.
