This article is about the John Mayer series of live musical recordings named "As/Is". For other uses, see As is (Disambiguation).

As/Is is live album by John Mayer, available for download from iTunes and also available as a double-CD release. Notable about these recordings is the sheer volume included (four albums' worth from iTunes), the interaction John has with the audience, and the blues jamming.

The four concert-specific albums are no longer available on iTunes, except the Houston, Texas concert (only available on Australian iTunes). Each ten-track album had its own artwork, each (like the compilation album) featured rabbits in out-of-character situations on their covers. (See image to left)
