Deb's Mr. Big Thread.....

[SilvioRodrigues]

Yes they do, but this is still an excellent setlist ...did they
swap out SIML for ATWU?!? I love that one too!!
Silvio, review?!?!

Hey MG, where have you been?!
I will write about it ASAP...but I can tell you that was awesome !!
The set list was the same above...
Check this youtube video...Sao Paulo audience strikes again!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obFvFmn7c7U

North ...vaca!!
Don't you hate it when the audience is so loud it ruins everything
for the vids? ...heeeheee

What a great crowd ...fun, fun show!! Where were you Silvio,
did you make it up front again?!?

How far North, MG?!

The energy in that clip kicked ass! I couldn't help but watch it with a bigass grin on my face..........I can't friggin wait! 3 more weeks!

Looking forward to your thoughts on the show Silvio!

I promise to write ASAP...I need some time, cause English isn't my language...and I don't want to make mistakes. I believe I'll speak fluently within a year and this place certainly helps to improve my english. Of course sometimes I don't have any clue of what the people are talking about...for example when MG says "Vaca" I take some time to connect with "vacation"...in portuguese "vaca" means cow !!!

Anyway, the show was beyond my expectations...the band was as great as the audience, and...

...I'll have to torture you more...a fully review tomorrow, ok?

...for example when MG says "Vaca" I take some
time to connect with "vacation"...in portuguese "vaca" means cow !!!

That's so appropriate ...I have been referred to as a "vaca" here on MR!!
So sorry for the confusion, but you are perfeito!! Thanks for the clips,
good times!!


Deb, I travelled to the tip of the pinky and then we skimmed the
base of the thumb heading to South Detroit!! I was further north
before I crossed the border!! We have the most beautiful
Michigan commercials here in LA ...thought I'd see what all the fuss was
about!!

No worries, take your time. And by the way, your english is very good, better than some here and it's their FIRST language. Thanks for sharing the clips, love seeing Sao Paulo showing the Bigs da love. I swear Take Cover never gets old, I absolutely love the musicality of that one. LOL, I find it physically impossible to stop my shoulders from rockin' to that guitar/drum.

You must have been sitting very close to where I was. Shame the place was half full and I thought the crowd were very unresponsive. The band did sound good though. Great venue also.

I wasn't at this show, my show is coming up in a few. And there is nooooo way I would be that far back at a Mr Big show. This is one of mine...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CR69HafX94
Didn't know you lived in the US?

See ya all in a week!

[Duncan]

I don't I'm on my hols!

[Deb]

Smoke on the Water ~ double switch-up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4etPvqAy66c EXCELLENT!



Definitely THE funnest live show I've ever been to! The guys are totally on fire and having an absolute blast playing together! Full of energy and playfullness. Never seen Eric more engaging with the crowd. Cindi got some fantastic videos to share starting with the above Smoke On The Water at the end of the show, you're the best! Can't thank you enough for getting Tempermental! The VIP thingy was fantastic, nicest bunch of rockers! LOL Eric was full of hugs. One highlight for me was the back and forth 'Hurt Me' sing along with EM. LOL! I was singing/mouthing the words along with pretty much every song, and on Addicted To That Rush, me being the major fan I am, know that E sings a 'Hurt Me' at the end of the studio version. And he must have seen me mouthing the words and came over and sang it back, then I sang it, then he sang it, LOL must have went back and forth 2 or 3 times. So fun! Saw Wendy and John a few people down from us and she had the biggest smile on her face during Paul's solo thoroughly enjoying themselves too. Was great to see Tracie again and some others there too! One band that just has to be witnessed at least once in a small/mid size club up front, even just to watch all that unbelievable fingerage! Had to laugh after the show when my friend Cindi mentioned how she was surprised at how good Paul was behind the kit too..........LOL, I said 'talented buggers aren't they!'

[DrFU]

Deb, so glad you are having a Big time ... your new av ... glowing!

[StevePerryHair]

Awesome Deb!! SO happy for you! Love the av!!!

[Indyjoe]

The show was OUTSTANDING!! And it was simply the best being able to see it with great friends.

Eric spent lots of time going back and forth and smiling and singing to Deb which was such a total kick knowing what a fan she is. It was so much fun!! You all would have gotten a kick seeing that. Hope that comes across in the YouTube footage. What a cool guy. They all are.

We miss you already, Deb!!

Right back at ya both! Stellar weekend! The DSB show the next night was just as fun, wow they kill LIVE, their youtubes don't do them justice, especially Juan's pipes. LaDoDa totally blew me away! I seriously have not heard a killer version of that one like that since the early Journey days. Gorgeous night in the park with at least a couple thousand new Journey music friends! But I'll post more about that show in the DSB thread in the Journey forum once I got some pics and vids uploaded.

And OMG, look what I found on youtube, somebody actually got vid of Addicted To That Rush from Thursday's show. A-MAZ-ING bass solo intro from Billy, and complete with my favorite part at the end LOL Hurt Me. Gonna have to save this link to my favorites. Cracking up at the last 40 seconds.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03y---SUx_E

[Indyjoe]

That is a killer vid!

Love that she got all that! Nice!

[Deb]

Deb, so glad you are having a Big time ... your new av ... glowing!

Thanks Fufu (and Lynn), I'm usually not too keen on pics with my hair pulled back like that or in a ponytail......but it was soooo hot LOL I wore it back or up the whole time. The club was especially sweltering, they hadn't turned on the AC until just before the show and by that time with so many bodies in there it didn't make a difference. The poor Bigs were just soaked, as you can tell by their shirts in the pics. LOL and that's not so much a glow as LMAO! He was in a goofy mood and going all Austin Powers up and down the side of my face, it was hilarious!

I don't know how, but every one of these little rock junkets just keeps topping the last! Nothing quite like seeing your fave live music from a few feet away! It was a lot of fun.

[S2M]

I'm beginning to regret starting this thread for you....I had the best of intentions - now I'm traveling down a well-paved road...straight to hell....

[Gideon]

Deb, I'm glad you get to witness the spectacle of a band you seem to enjoy so very, very much. Your exuberance is infectious, even if the music itself isn't.

[Michigan Girl]

I'm beginning to regret starting this thread for you....I had the best of intentions - now I'm traveling down a well-paved road...straight to hell....

lol ...no, no you did well!!
Now the people who don't care for Mr. Big can stay the hell out!!

[Michigan Girl]

:D

I love this photo ...It looks like the guys are looking at one camera,
Cindi is looking at another camera and Deb's eyes are rolling in the
back of her head ...heeeheee!!

[Michigan Girl]

Deb, so glad you are having a Big time ... your new av ... glowing!

That's saliva ...I think he's licking her face!!


It is wonderful!!!

I'm happy for you Deb! These guys really know how to treat their fans...and you're definetly the #1. Congrats !!

LMAO, it does look that way doesn't it. Graham took quite a few pics separate and together and no flash so we had no idea when it was actually taking it. I have a cool candid one of me and the Bigs with Paul making a rock growl and claws. I don't know why but for some reason I thought Paul would be the quietest out of the 4 but he's such a cool guy, real down to earth too. Billy's cool too.

LOL, come to think of it my eyes could have been rolling back, right before that pic was taken I just barely tapped my head on the bus where it juts out. Went to stand up straighter for the pic and Billy musta seen it coming and reached over, almost whacked my head a good one on that extention part. Suchafriggindork.

[Deb]

Oops, not your setlist ?!?...how many encores for you guys/new songs?!?

6 new ones!

The ???? at the second encore ended up being the Smoke On The Water switch up ~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4etPvqAy66c

[Michigan Girl]

LMAO, it does look that way doesn't it.

lol, Not in the slightest, was seriously joshing!! It's a great pic, all of the
photos are friggin' fantastic ...can't wait to hear the clips, I'll check
them out tonight!! I am so happy that you (all) had such a great
time!!

August 31st!!

It's funny, I snapped a few pics, but having so much fun, totally forgot to get any vid until it was almost over. So the only vid I got was part of Price Ya Gotta Pay ~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgfDHTQG-QQ

But it was the good part at least, Paul and Billy do this very cool bluesy dual. Absolutely loved it! Watching those 2 from like a couple feet away right smack in front of you is unbelievable! Oh yeah, and a little sex and chocolate thrown in there too.
