No Fresno? Don't care. All 80's and 90's bands need to come through Fresno so LAglamrocker can have monthly homecomings at Goldiggers hosted by Chris Daniel.

Wonder if his 'Fireman' was photoshopped out of the poster or Paul came to his senses and realized how awful the Fireman guitar actually looks.

This is clearly only half the tour…note the “Pt 1”. They’ll do the West Coast and surely end it in Japan for the second half.

Mr. Big wishes they could draw in Madera, and Sac, like Tesla.

Pretty sure more people got camel rides at Ventura Fair than people at 15$ free Tesla show

Ted Poley would make Just Take My Heart winner
That Billy Sheehan /Paul Gilbert guys are super annoying

I wanted to see every Metal Edge band growing up
Mr Big came to Selland Arena in Fresno with Rush. That was the easiest pass ever during that time

Mr. BIG is one of those bands where a greatest hits/compilation is more than enough. They have a handful of good songs and a ton of filler.
And...... their soulless cover of "30 Days In The Hole" sucks.
And....(and) Eric Martin seems like a prick.

They actually already did the Asian leg about a month ago--- Japan, Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Manila, Taiwan, etc... Big venues, and of course pretty much sold out everywhere.

Fun band, I've seen them countless times since then entered the scene. I will see them many times during the farewell tour.

Zero chance their final concert takes place anywhere but Tokyo.

It's DES PLAINES. FUCK.

It's amazing to me how these tour posters ALWAYS have at least one typo. It's 23 fucking dates, for crying out loud.

I would go to this just to see them play "Green-Tinted Sixties Mind." That's such a great song.

Lean Into It is an amazing album top to bottom. Damn near a perfect album.

Here’s a couple great behind the scenes videos from their recent Asian dates by new drummer Nick D’Virgilio (Genesis, Spock’s Beard, Big Big Train, solo):

I'm going to catch the Minneapolis show. Why not? I really liked Lean Into It and missed other opportunities to see them. The Fitzgerald is a strange place for this show.
It's hard for me to get used to these changing times. I can remember when the air was clean and sex was dirty.
