Sound: Double DVD set recorded during the Next Time Around Tour in 2009. Mr. Big is a Rock supergroup that formed in 1988. The band is a quartet composed of Eric Martin (vocals), Paul Gilbert (guitar), Billy Sheehan (bass), and Pat Torpey (drums). The band is noted especially for their excellent musicianship, intense live performances, and well-crafted songs. // 9

Next Time Around (videoclip) // 9

Production Quality: Excellent production quality... Warner Music Japan released remastered copies of their four studio albums, which contains two new songs: "Next Time Around", and "Hold Your Head Up". They also have released another live album and DVD entitled "Back to Budokan", which featured their concert in Tokyo, Japan, this 2009. This live performance contains a cover of Beatles' "It's For You" and "Mars", as well as guitar and bass solos by the band, on single and double-neck instruments. // 9

Impression: This DVD features bonus material including an acoustic live performance. Prior to the formation of the group, each of the members already had a reputation of being virtuosos as well as established songwriters. Their songs were often marked with Eric Martin's strong lead vocals, four part band vocal harmonies, and a technical proficiency in all instruments. Their hits include 'To Be With You' (Billboard Hot 100 #1 single in 1991). // 9
