MR Big Tickets

Mr. Big still sounds fantastic after all these years. It was great to see Pat Torpey come out to play on a few songs as well as sing background vocals. Everybody else is in top form, including new drummer Matt Starr. The BB King Blues Club is a great venue and the sound was excellent.

Mr Big launched a small US tour before the release of their latest album, Defying Gravity, which was recorded in only six days. Playing crowd favorites and new songs, every moment was jaw dropping. Paul Gilbert and Billy Sheehan proved again why they are so copied and emulated as musicians. Drums were covered mostly by Matt Starr, who has been a welcomed addition to the band. Pat Torpey (the original drummer) was also on stage playing drums and singing. Despite suffering from Parkinson's disease, Pat still rocked all night with a smile on his face and the band showed how much the love, appreciate and still need him on stage with them. Eric's voice still cuts through the entire mix. Does this guy even age? Speaking of the mix... Wow! The tour crew had the best sound in house sound I've ever experienced at an indoor venue! I didn't have to wear my ear plugs and I could hear everything clearly with lots of low end. The only complaint I have is with the venue and lack of air conditioning. The portable units they have don't seem to be able to keep up with a packed house. On a minor note, you had to have a VIP sticker to see the band, who normally love to hang out after the show and talk with their fans (especially Billy Sheehan). The food and drinks were great. And the fans... I met several other Mr Big fans while I was there, thanks to posts on social media before and after the concert. Mr Big definitely found a way to defy gravity!!!

Mr Big has been on my bucket list of must-watch artists for a long time. I'm glad I got to watch them in a small venue because THEY WERE FRICKIN' AWESOME! The Martin-Gilbert-Sheehan lineup is the only way to watch Mr. Big. Paul Gilbert Green Tinted Sixties Mind...my all-time fave guitar intro. Highly recommend!

Mr Big has been a favorite band of my wife and I since their first album! Martin, Gilbert, Sheehan and Torpey are top notch musicians that write amazing songs and out on an awesome show! From the opening song Daddy, Brother, Lover, Little Boy (The Drill Song) through "Alive and Kickin", Green Tinted Sixties Mind, Take a Walk to the awesome "Addicted to the Rush" up to the "Baba O'Reilly" encore, these guys are a non stop rock and roll force to be reckoned with! Still in top form!! Also, the waiter Monte was fantastic! He took care of my wife and I and I would go back to B B Kings in NYC just for him! A fantastic night all around!

Band looked and sounded great! Played almost 2 hrs

As always Mr. Big never lets you down, great show, awesome musicians a true SUPER group! As a drummer it was sad to see Pat's Parkinsons attack him like that though cause he's definitely an influence of mine!

Band was great as always. They kept the audience entertained and sound was great!!! Such a fun bunch of guys that love doing their thing!!!

Mr Big is one of my favorite bands. They are one of a kind. I really love listening to them and watching them live.

Mr. Big (and the solo tours of the band members) doesn't come up to Boston very often, so a Saturday night show in NYC was as close as we could get. Totally worth the trip, they were in top form.

Third time seeing Mr. Big in 6 years at BB Kings and they did not dissapoint! They played a blistering set mixing in their classic hits with more recent tunes and two new tracks from their upcoming studio album "Defying Gravity". One of the tracks is properly named 1992 and it takes you back to when the band scored their #1 single "To Be With You". It really is a treat to watch these guys perform live. Please keep touring!

Nice to see them in a great venue. They sounded terrific and played in top form. I liked the new song the played as well. I hope their tour goes well!

First of all, the Potawatami Casino Northern Lights Theatre is the BEST place to see a show in Milwaukee. Small, intimate & not a bad seat in the house. After 30 years Mr. Big is STILL together & still an incredible live band. Like Extreme, Mr. Big were lumped into the "hair metal" catagory when they really were not a hair metal band. This is a band of 4 superstar musicians including bass guru Billy Shean & guitar wiz Paul Gilbert. Led by the amazing vocals of Eric Martin, Mr. Big were at the peak of popularity in early 90`s. As alternative music took over the band continued to tour & release new product. Their popularity overseas is unquestioned!! They can still cut it live!! 18 songs, they played almost 2 hours & exhibited amazing musicianship. Sure the hair is shorter but the songs still hold up. Eric`s vocals are still top notch. I appreciate they still include original drummer Pat Torpey in the show. He has worked his way thru medical problems but simply cannot handle a whole show. So they include him on a handful of songs. We were lucky enough to see the FIRST show of 2017 tour. They included one new song which was awesome. I`m 50 years old...I lived thru the 80`s and this tinted mind still thinks Mr. Big rocks!!

Eric Martin and his bandmates are some of the most exceptional musicians performing today and their first opening concert of the tour in Milwaukee did not disappoint.

The drums were overpowering. They literally drowned out a lot of the guitar work. Vocals were hard to understand. Between the bass of the drums and bass guitar it was too much for the treble of the guitar to compete with. Venue was small but very nice, no need to have a band that loud in a theater that small.

I knew, going into this show, that they didn't have a ton of popular material to pull from. I hoped that the audience interaction would be good and that the new songs would be worth listening to. Not only are the new songs poor, the audience interaction was lame. Hey Eric Martin, Bret Michaels is a bigger star than you and he high fives the audience and gets them involved. Skip this show...Mr. Big should be opening for other bands, not trying to fill 2 hours with below average material.

What do you expect, guys , ha ? Of course they did outstanding performance. Their ties are tight as ever plus Matt Starr did excellent job for the band since original drummer , Pat Torpey has a condition. But after said that, Pat did amazing performance, he played more numbers behind the kit than their last tour, and their famous cover number, The Who's ' Baba O'Riley' was just outstanding. They answered their individual interviews that they are hoping performing more in 2017 and maybe with a new studio album. So guys watch the space, Mr.Big is back Again!!!

This is my first time at the Rose. Venues were good and the band played incredible. Definitely I will recommend this show to my friends.

Wish I saw these guys years ago when I had the CDs back in college! Paul Gilbert is just such an amazing talent and a great personality. And to see the original drummer Pat out there doing what he can is fantastic.

Better known worldwide for soft-hearted late 80's hits like "To be with You" & "Just Take My Heart", however, Los Angeles based supergroup Mr. Big still serves up a huge Porterhouse sized serving of rip-roaring hard rockin' anthems designed to get fans up out of their seats and on their feet with fists in the air. Known for their dynamic musicianship and ability to put together some of the most blistering guitar (Paul Gilbert) & bass (Billy Sheehan) solos seen anywhere in rock & roll along with extremely powerful but melodic vocals from super soulful singer Eric Martin, altogether the band seems to always be ready to deliver the goods in concert! This was definitely the case at The Rose in Pasadena (CA.) on 9/29/2016!!!

If you are thinking about seeing Mr Big, do it! You will not be disappointed. This could be the best band I have seen in the past three years, they kicked a**!
