2CD/Blu-Ray Following the release of their 2017 album, 'Defying Gravity', Mr. Big set out on a trek that took them all over the world to promote the new release in a live setting. Anyone who has ever had the distinct pleasure of seeing the band live knows that the virtuoso musicianship and incredible vocals are on full display in this setting. By this time, drummer Pat Torpey's battle with Parkinson's Disease had been made public, but Pat toured with the band regardless and sat behind the drum kit for select songs, while also providing background vocals, tambourine, etc. on other tracks when Matt Starr was taking his turn on the kit.

Avantasia de Tobias Sammet volvieron a ponernos los pelos como escarpias, firmando una actuación redonda y deshaciéndose su líder en halagos hacia sus invitados (Eric Martin, Bob Catley, un adelgazadísimo Jorn Lande y un sublime Geoff Tate, sin olvidarse de la gran Amanda Somerville y el no menos portentoso Herbie Langhans). Toda mi admiración para alguien que sabe reconocer el mérito ajeno y está dispuesto a rodearse de intérpretes de mayor calidad técnica que la propia, dejando de lado las tan habituales luchas de egos.

Features Mr. Big's concert held on November 10, 2014 at Nippon Budokan.

After the release of Mr. Big's reunion album What If..., the band embarked on a world tour which took them to Japan in January 2011. What If... had gone gold in Japan and the band lined up 11 Japanese dates in support of the release. At the end of January 2011, during a weeklong promotional trip to promote the album and tour, they were invited to the WOWOW TV Studios in Tokyo to perform a special acoustic show. When the talk of a broadcast first came up, Mr. Big wanted to present something different than they've ever done before, thus the idea of an acoustic show came about and a string quintet was brought in to enhance the project even more. The result from that magic night in Tokyo is now here: 10 Mr. Big classics in a completely new and fresh setting and a unique portrait of the band during their very first acoustic show.

Mr. Big return to the Bodokan stage once more! Recorded live at Budokan, Tokyo, Japan June 20th, 2009 as part of the Next Time Around tour.

Georges Bernier, alias Professor Choron, died January 10, 2005. He was 75 years old. The few death notices that appeared in the French press mainly focused on the scatological nature of his humor, or on the good man's provocative side. No one recalled the essential, which was that with his passing not only had one of the great proprietors of the French press disappeared, but he'd taken with him an artist in his own right, quite unique in his own way : Professor Choron.
