VIDEO FOR ‘ALIVE AND KICKIN’’

Following the release of their 2017 album, ‘Defying Gravity’, Mr. Big set out on a tour that took them all 

over the world to promote it. Anyone who has ever had the distinct pleasure of seeing the band perform

is aware that their virtuoso musicianship and incredible vocals are on full display in a live setting.

By this time, drummer Pat Torpey’s battle with Parkinson’s Disease had been made public, but he

toured with the band regardless and sat behind the drum kit for select songs, while also providing

backing vocals and percussion on other tracks when Matt Starr was taking his turn on the kit.

Recorded at a show in Italy, ‘Live From Milan’ boasts a track listing that will surely satisfy both long-term

and newer fans of the band, and of course contains bass and guitar solos from the always entertaining

and awe inspiring Billy Sheehan and Paul Gilbert respectively.

Sadly, this would be one of Pat Torpey’s last performances with the band as he passed away from 

complications due to Parkinson’s in early 2018. This set thus captures a special moment in time for the 

band while also serving as a ‘greatest hits’ of sorts as they play all the classic songs from their early 

albums as well as material from newer releases.

“The gig was packed, really no room to breathe and it was steaming hot in there but the energy and 

vibe that I was feeling from the guys in the band was that we were going to lean into it. I know that 

sounds cliché coming from me but it was true, there was no holding back. I’ve seen the video of this 

concert dozens of times now and it’s us, hard and heavy and still kicking out the jams,” says frontman 

Eric Martin.

Formed in 1988, Mr. Big have produced numerous hit songs ranging across an array of rock genres – 

be it ballads, heavy metal, or blues rock. Their hits include ‘Alive and Kicking’, ‘Just Take My Heart’ 

and ‘To Be With You’ (no. 1 in 15 countries in 1991-1992, no. 3 in the UK).
