Opening act(s): Not sure. There were two. One was a HORRIBLE local band that sounded like they formed the night before the show! Ironically, they were the band right before Mr. Big, and had equipment issues. The first band on wasn't great, either, but at least they could play. @

I was lucky enough to see Mr. Big on their Lean Into It Tour, as well as the Bump Ahead Tour, so they had a lot to live up to, in my opinion. I must say that while the show was scaled back somewhat, the old energy and musicianship were the same as ever. I was blown away by the high caliber performance Billy, Paul, Eric, and Pat were still able to put on, as well as the song choices. I felt the set list was perfectly balanced, and the you could tell the camardarie on stage was genuine.

The new album is phenomenal, and the live show was fantastic. I recommend anyone who is a fan of this band to definitely go. If you are unfamiliar with the band I would say go see them, and you will get a show that will NOT pale in comparison to their heyday.

I never got to see Mr. Big live during the late 80's and 90's when they were still touring the U.S. After Paul left in 1998, and then the overall break-up in 2002, I came to believe I would never see them live. When I heard of the reunion and the Budokan tour in 2009, I quickly bought the DVD/CD set and couldn't believe how great they still were. But again, seeing only Asia and Europe tour dates, I felt I still would never see them live.
I found out about the BB King's show the week of my birthday - so what a great present!!! Back in the NYC area after 20 years!! We were right up by stage and the band was AMAZING!!! One of the best shows I've ever been to! I had my 15 and 12 year old sons with me who were totally blown away and have become the newest Mr Big fans!! Thanks Billy, Paul, Eric and Pat for an unforgettable night! Please come back to NY soon!!!!

I'd been a Mr. Big fan since the beginning. I had their first cd when it came out and enjoyed them ever since (up until Paul Gilbert left.) Sadly, I never got the chance to see them live, back in the day. When I heard the original line up had reunited, I knew I had to get out and see them live. It was worth the 20+ year wait. They were AMAZING live. It really came as no surprise. Each member is virtuoso at their instrument. As a bass player myself, I made it a point to stand right in front of Billy Sheehan: to watch, study, and learn.
The set list was a good mix of all the "classic" songs I waited so long to hear, along with the new material from their new cd "What if..." (also worth picking up)
I would absolutely tell anyone that's a fan of Mr. Big that they should get a ticket and enjoy the ride.

For the month prior to this concert, I have been listening to all Mr. Big's discography! Not only did it bring back so many great memories of my childhood, but the new album is amazing.

I anticipated the band to play the majority of their new album with a few song peppered in from the early 80s. The band blew me away! They opened with Daddy, Lover, Little Boy! What a way to start the show!!

Happily, they played an amazing mix of old and new and rocked each and every song. Sheehan and Gilbert had solo after solo and blew my ears off! True legends of that era!

The balcony seats were A M A Z I N G! From now on, I will pay for these seats as the price is only a couple of dollars more and WELLLLLLL worth the price! Right over the stage!

I am a professional musician with the U.S. Army and not easily impressed. Yet, I can easily say, Mr. Big was awesome. This was the greatest rock concert I have ever been to. I have always been a Mr. Big fan since the first album. I never got a chance to see them before they quit touring. Therefore, I was elated to find out that they were doing a U.S. tour. Me and my wife drove 650 miles from Alabama to Texas to see Mr. Big (I was not going to pass up an opportunity to finally see my favorite rock band live), and it was more than worth it. Not only are Eric, Pat, Paul and Billy incredible musicians, they are great entertainers. The new album is great, and I hope they continue recording and touring (hopefully they'll tour closer to Alabama next time).

This is only the second time I have seen the band live. The first time was back on the very first tour. Obviously this time there was much more material to cover and they did not disappoint. The musicianship is always top caliber, yet they manage to not take theirselves to serious and have fun with the fans. So many great moments all through the night. How bout at the end of the night, after all the great songs, they started the encore with Paul on drums, Billy singing, Eric on guitar and Pat on bass for Smoke On The Water, and changed places again, this time Pat singing, Eric on Bass and Billy playing a fantastic bit of guitar. This was a birthday present to myself, what an incredible night.

Good venue. Never had waitress service at a gig before. ForeverFalls were ok for a support band. Mr Big were on fire for the first half of the show. I hear a but coming. There is. Far too many solos. Guitar & bass. Mr Big have enough great songs to avoid doing this.
Good encores . First time I've seen any bands change instruments like they do. Minor niggles aside its good to see Mr Big back together.

This was the last American date of the Mr. Big American tour, and they ended it in a BIG way in the BIG state of Texas ! First of all, our seats were great (second row, upper balcony) and aside from some female patronages who partook in perhaps one (or four) too many margaritas, our view was impeccable. The staff of the House of Blues was great; very helpful and courteous, even if their concession prices were ridiculous. (They even admitted so themselves)

Anyways, on to the concert: After the opening acts of Forever Falls and Gravity, who, to me, seemed like odd choices for openers. Mr. Big started off with a face melting rendition of "Daddy, Brother, Lover, Little Boy" (The Electric Drill Song) complete with electric drills, of course. Throughout the night they played an amazing set of classics and many tracks off of their new album, "What If...." Of course, Paul's solo was amazing, as was Billy's. I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't play "I Won't Get in My Way" or "All The Way Up" but these are just my personal favorites off of the new album, aside from "Undertow" which they did a rockin' job of.

My favorite part of the night, however, was when they all switched instruments not once, but twice while playing a spot-on rendition of Deep Purple's "Smoke on The Water." For the first half of the song, Paul was on Drums, Eric on Guitar, Pat on Bass and Billy sang. Then, for the solo section and rest of the song, they switched again (except Paul) with Eric going to the Bass, Billy on Guitar (and playing a note-for-note re-creation of the famous solo, all without a pick mind you!) and Pat singing. Like I said, this was my favorite part of the night. I had no idea Paul was such an amazing drummer. He absolutely owned that song! It's not bad enough that he completely blows everyone out of the water with his guitar playing, but now he has to go and make drummers feel inadequate too. ;)

After this, they played another cover to close the show. (The Who, "Baba O'Riley") I'm not a big Who fan, or a fan of this song in particular, but Mr. Big did a great job of it. I especially liked Paul playing the iconic keyboard riff. But I was also very surprised to see Eric get off the stage and go shake hands, fist bump, etc. with the crowd while singing.

Overall, it was an amazing concert put on by world class musicians who are in tip-top shape. Every single member of this band is an amazing musician, not to mention just all around great guys. There are no egos or big headed-syndrome in this band; just four guys having a good time, and I'm glad they made Texas a part of it.

I absolutely can't wait for the next Mr. Big release and subsequent tour. Hopefully they will come back to the House of Blues. But regardless of where they go, I would definitely see them again!

I never caught these guys the first time around and was excited to see them back together when I picked up the What If CD. Then when I found they were coming to Houston I was really excited and only hoped my travel schedule would allow me to be in town. The planets aligned and I was able to catch the show at the House of Blues.

I have to say they torched the place. For 2 plus hours they played their hearts out, unfortunately to a less than packed house. The small crowd was mighty though and enjoyed each and every note. Mr. Big performed as if it was stadium capacity.

I have a friend in the UK who is a big Paul Gilbert fan and he is looking forward to seeing them there. So everyone spread the word about how freaking good these guys are and let's keep rock alive and well!!

That was one of the most memorable moments in my life. I have been waiting to see Mr. Big forever, and finally fulfilled a dream. The band was awesome, the opening acts did a great job.
The problem with being right in front of the stage is that you get the stage sound, not the PA. I am a bass player, so I kind of liked being in front of the bass rig. But if House of Blues had small monitor/PA speakers pointed at the front row, it would be killer.
My main complaint about House of Blues, however, is the policy of not allowing video recording. We're living the YouTube age, come on!

Mr. Big is not just a nostalgia act. They are still playing new music ( 6 from the new album) plus their hits. The musicians in this band are phenomenal and the vocals superb. Billy Sheehan is the greatest bass player ever , Paul Gilbert one of the best guitarist on the planet and Pat Torpey is underated on drums. Eric Martin delivers on every song. Mr. Big does not appear to be a band going through the motions as some bands do. They played for 2 Hours and 15 minutes in Dallas. They could have done a shorter set but they knew the fans that came to see them may not see them for a long time. Mr Big is amazing and the best 80's style rock band on the planet.

I went to the show as a fun night out hoping they would play Just to be the one to be with you...and maybe even wild world since those were the only two songs i knew by them. They ended up rocking out on stuff I'd never heard all night. The show was at least 2 and a half hours long. They did play Just to be the one...but honestly, it was really lame compared to the rest of the show. For an oncore, they played smoke on the water...in which they all exchanged instruments with each other...TWICE!!! The guitar player moved to drums, the singer played bass and then guitar, the bassist played guitar and sang and the drummer played bass and then sang. I've never seen that done before. The bassist was insanely awesome. i've never seen such a long bass solo that didn't bore me, but i was amazed with this guy's skills. It ended up being a great show. Too bad it's the last one in the states for this tour.
