Great band with excellent musicians! And you will not see much others "Paul Gilberts" around. He is amazing!
Mr. Big never quite reached the level of stardom in America that they have in Japan and other countries. Their debut album and subsequent release, which featured the HUGE hit single "To Be With You", came at a time when the hard rock of the 80s was dying to the new grunge wave of the early 90s. Mr. Big only had four dates in the U.S., New York was the 3rd stop. They do have an extremely loyal fan base and when we do have the opportunity to see a show here, we all come out for it. B. B. King Blues Club was sold out, with fans coming from around the world. I met people from all across America, Germany, Japan, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. Their drummer, Pat Torpey, was diagnosed with Parkinson's last year and has not been able to play the entire set list, so Matt Starr has been helping with the drum duties. We were all pleased that Pat is doing well and was able to play on quite a few songs. When he wasn't playing the full drum set, he had a smaller set right next to Matt's that he played while singing backup. Matt is a very capable fill in and I was very happily surprised and delighted by his addition to the band. Mr. Big has never disappointed me in the past and this show was no exception. They came out rocking hard and fast and didn't stop until they were forced to leave the stage because there was another show after theirs. Umm, what the hell BB Kings? The audience sang along, danced, and cheered to all the songs, every song is a favorite! Eric knows how to work the crowd, he is a magnetic front man, and didn't fail to make everyone feel like they were part of the Mr. Big family. You know he loves to be up there performing, it's evident in everything he does and every song he sings. He would give the same performance for 5 people or 5000. Time has only improved his vocals and he sounds better than ever. Highlights for me were Billy and Paul's solos, both so technically masterful that you couldn't help but be breathless, The Monster in Me, and East/West. Both are songs off of their new album. Who am I kidding, the whole show was a highlight!
Mr. Big has been on my live music Bucket List for a lot of years, but I always seemed to miss them, for whatever reason. I was given tickets for my 55th birthday, and they were worth the wait, and then some. They hit all the well known hits, while also playing the newer stuff. This band is tight and on it note after note. We did not sit down for their entire set. If you have not yet seen them, do not miss the opportunity.
This band's show still is one of the most impressive you could ever see... They are still rocking as They díd when They started a long time algo.
Great show, Great venue, lax security. Aisles as far back as ro FF became a moshpit. Security would ask people to clear th aisle, they would just return at the beginning of the next song. No need to buy good seats. Unless you are in the first two rows you can't see anything.
Mr. Big are a really interesting combination of musical nerds/tuneful songwriters/gifted performers. I say musical nerds because these guys are all so talented that its amazing to watch - and they do give in to musical over-indulgence occasionally - but they are just so gifted its hard to do anything but shake your head and say Wow! The second accolade is more difficult to come by, as there are many really skillful musicians out there - but a much smaller number that can overcome the need to play on overdrive 100% of the time and crank out some really catchy, simple and tuneful songs. Mr. Big does this. The final attribute is an ode to people who can still look like they're having a blast onstage, and take everyone in the audience with them on the journey. Great show, and I would see them anytime they come to town. Extra kudos to the band for being so supportive of band member Pat Torpey - that made me smile and brought a tear to my eye in the same moment. Well done!
Mr Big was very good, Billy Sheehan is a fantastic bass guitar player!
What a great show! Once again, Mr. Big did not disappoint as they entertained the NYC crowd with songs from their latest CD ("...The Stories We Could Tell"), as well as the classic hits! I'm not a big fan of general admission/standing room only shows, and wish the would play venues like NYBC Westbury or the Beacon, but BB Kings was packed! So Mr. Big would definitely draw the crowd. However, if you were lucky enough to get close to the front of the stage, Billy, Paul, Eric, Pat and Matt were sure to make you feel like you were part of an intimate show. It's been 3 1/2 since the last NYC show, and 20 years before that, so I can't wait for them to come back to the New York area again!!
Amazing show! Very close to the stage. I just wish the openning show wasnt that long, so Mr Big could have played more songs.
Great show! Played 2 hours. Lots of songs. Big crowd.
They are still the best band in the world! I teared up when I saw Pat play the drums. Hope they come to play in NY more often!
It was awesome overall. There were several people who were constantly taking photos, like, every minute – I'm not kidding, which was super annoying because of the distracting bright light from their cell phone screens. But I kind of ignored them. The location of the place was good. It was warm.
What a great show. Paul Gilbert still amazes as does the rest of the band. New music is amazing and old classics are still a joy to hear. I'd recommend this show to anyone.
It was awesome!! I would love to join it again when they come again!!
Mr. Big grinded-out a seething set at BB Kings like they were on tour for the first time! Energy, vocals and band were off the charts.
Don't know where to start - the complete Package was a thril of a lifetime. Packed Club, Friends from all over the World, a Band on Fire. Fun with the Band after the Show. Coming over from Germany for the Show makes it even more Special. I saw the 2nd Show of the Tour in Utrecht and the second last in NYC - this Band is just a killer. So great Pat feels jsut great and perform with all he can. Hopefully there will be a time for another Round! The fans would love it and the Band - they would love it too!!!;-) Stay Addicted to that Rush
Loved seeing mr big again after all these years! Can't wait to see them Again soon.
We waited so many-many years that someday Mr.Big come to Russia!! Since '94!!! And in truth, have no hope that we'll see them here one day. But they still got to us! Oh, thanks, endlessly! We are all so happy to see our dream come alive! It was unreal great and fantastic! The ocean of unforgettable emotions! This is the best show that I have ever seen! We hope to see Mr.Big again in Russia, more and more! The best band ever!!!
