Go behind the scenes with the the Big Misters and explore the making of their 2011 release "What If..."

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 is an American hard rock supergroup formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1988. The band was originally composed of Eric Martin (lead vocals), Paul Gilbert (guitar), Billy Sheehan (bass guitar), and Pat Torpey (drums & percussion). Their songs are often marked by strong vocals and vocal harmonies. Their hits include "To Be with You" (a number-one single in 15 countries in 1992) and "Just Take My Heart". This video compilation was released along with a similar greatest hits CD.

Capté à Milan en 2017, le set de ce live ravira les fans de longue date du groupe, au même titre que les nouveaux aficionados. Malheureusement, cette performance sera aussi la dernière du batteur Pat Torpey’s, décédé depuis des complications de la maladie de Parkinson début 2018. Un concert particulièrement fort pour le groupe, donc..
