I've known & seen/heard great singers in my lifetime, great drummers, great solo guitarists, great bass players. But this band has all in 1; the greatest performers ever! 🤘💜 🎩🦯🥾
Gilbert was my second favorite guitar player to EVH before Kotzen joined the band. I thought Kotzen would suck when I heard about him replacing Gilbert. Since Kotzen joined Mr. Big, he's my all time favorite player, singer, and musician.
Man! Eric's voice is mind blowing. I love these guys. My all time favorite band. Weird not seeing Paul there but, Ritchie is awesome as well. I respect them all and deeply appreciate their music. I seen Eric this past August during one of his acoustic shows. He is still amazing. It was a great feeling getting to actually meet and talk with my inspiration. Keep rock alive!

I remember back in the 90s i was totally into mr big because of PGs air guitar style. Then i bought the new album with kotzen on it around year 2000 Get over it album, first time i heard kotzen. I was such a kid back then to be felt betrayed and really disapointed by my guitar hero PG for leaving mr big lol.Good thing when i heard what kotzen did on the album, its not air guitar but i love what Im hearing. Awesome player and a lot of great songs in that album!
ya ... Kotzen aka ''the real deal'' .... DEFINATELY ain't no slouch, but he has this ONE thing that does way too much of that slowly kills me! and that is ''approving a song-set list contrived of almost 75% BALLADS! no one wants to see THAT many ballads played by high caliber players already schooled in ''shredding and ripping-it-up 101''
Shit, Eric's voice was on point here. He was still singing everything on key here. They should've added "Just Take My Heart" which is my 2nd favorite tune from them in their set, but it's all good. Great concert.
I dont know but i think Colorado bulldog in this concert IMO is the best live version ever even compared to PG version. The energy is so much different than any other version. It really is a blast but groovy in the same time.
yeah but mr big is different with out PG.. even billy once said in interview that paul gilbert is the guitarist that he enjoy the most when play together.. compared to koetzen, even steve vai, gilbert has the biggest chemistry with billy..
@@paulgilbert3139 Years later Billy founded The Winary Dogs with Kotzen and Mr. Big is retired, honestly I'm not sure about the veracity of the interview that you say you seen.
I really like Richie and the song he made with Mr. Big, and im also glad he did not try to BE Paul Gilbert when he joined the band, but i don´t se why he avoide doing the tapping parts in some songs? like Green-Tinted and Addicted to that Rush? Cool how he can pick those licks, but tapping has its own sound!
.....Kotzen's a great fill-in for Gilbert. So much better here live than his studio recordings with Mr. Big....This band has always been pretty good, don't know why they weren't bigger than they were. Kotzen has the Winery Dogs with Michael Portnoy so he's doing okay these days.
the wierd thing is, you could give the bass to kotzen and the tele to sheehan and there wouldn’t be a difference in the sound. it’d be the same still. i also know i probably misspelled the names. i can’t spell for shit but i know good musicians when i hear em.
@@kiekko673 obviously, you don't know what you're talking about. I respect Kotzen, but Gilbert wrote those songs. This looks like a Mr Big cover band, with all due respect.
why is there even a lead singer there? especially a short-haired one holding a cut-away acoustic with a neon sign flashing above him that reads .... ''Warning: anyone sensitive to long durations of slow boring music please go to sector 39 and lay face-down on the restroom floor til help arrives it's just a ''ballads o.d.'' reaction ... most of us suffer from it but make a full recovery after hearing just one kick-ass tune (like Shy-boy or Race with the Devil on Spanish Highway .... c/o Al Di Meola and friends)
Lord the guys were steamin’!And how much I appreciate Pat Torpeys relentless drive. What a loss : (
I've known & seen/heard great singers in my lifetime, great drummers, great solo guitarists, great bass players.

Talented musicians! Love!

The best look of eric martin ❤️

1999 💋❤
I love this part 00:01 to 01:34:00
Hey thats my favorite part too!
richie kotzen is the man as guitarist and lead singer

KOTZEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE BESTEST
thanks for update!!!
was looking for this for ages!
Mind blown!
I love you and the band mr big your one of my very best bands

Right..my fav too
This is treasure
Only triple A musicians, how does it could goes wrong?! Impossible :D
So Cool !!!!!
Eric❤️❤️❤️
Thanx for this video!!

やっぱり歌うまいっ💗💗💗

Glad i'm not the only one who notice it. Richie's legato playing is has a different vibe but sound as cool as Pauls.
53:00 Hiding Place, Richie Kotzen is a reincarnation of Jimi Hendrix
mr big is great with Richie Kotzen
Pat badass!
RIP😱😭😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
"Just take my Heart" and "Wild World" sounded much better on the Tele than the Ibanez, in my opinion.
It's a shame they weren't so comfortable with this formation by the time this was recorded. They had so much potential with Kotzen on guitar...
yeah but mr big is different with out PG.. even billy once said in interview that paul gilbert is the guitarist that he enjoy the most when play together.. compared to koetzen, even steve vai, gilbert has the biggest chemistry with billy..
@@paulgilbert3139 maybe PG is very humble yet very profesional n talented musician
@@paulgilbert3139 Years later Billy founded The Winary Dogs with Kotzen and Mr. Big is retired, honestly I'm not sure about the veracity of the interview that you say you seen.
@@paulgilbert3139 Lol Billy hired Richie after Paul went solo. He enjoyed working with both, check The Winery Dogs

Probably he tried to make it his own thing instead of a copy.
Pat, get well soon man
RIP😱😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
see in that drum break in take cover....needs that cow bell real bad!
great performance...but still missing PG on stage....

Paul Gilbert is the soul of Mr. Big, he is founder, but Richie Kotzen is different.
Kotzen is new desire.new blood.ok
I like Kotzen too, but man, Paul its Paul !
Paul? ... Paul who? .... ppl keep saying ''Paul'' or ''P.G.''
how about saying that guy's entire name ... so at leeast I can finally know ??
Paul is Paul.......
its not paul gilbert so three thumbs down.
Con Petersen
“Get over it” is their best album.
Kotzen is really soulful player;
Gilbert is just very technical,
and should I say...boring. ✌️
@@kiekko673 obviously, you don't know what you're talking about. I respect Kotzen, but Gilbert wrote those songs. This looks like a Mr Big cover band, with all due respect.
Ir's hard to sing better than Kotzen...to anyone
I agree that's why I wished Kotzen had had more singing parts! Eric's stamina is always not that good.
@@thenerdyhobbit3935 rubbish
@@davidstewart4310 let kotzen sing more, eric can take some break 😁
More nice with pg
is it me or does that electrified song need some cow bell? you know, just really dig in with that cow bell right.
私も俺たちもいるぜ🎵
Where is paul gilbet? Did he quit mr big?
Yes, he left the band in 1997.
This was more than 20 years Ago.
@@PauloHowlett 😂😂😂
Not the same without Paul, but props to Ritchie! No Shyboy? Lol! Great show guys, always my favorite band!
Eric starts to struggle singing in the original key here
Where is paul Gilbert?
He left the band in 1997.
Wonderful Kotzen, but you ain't here
Is better with Kotzen. Blues man.
No
@@PauloHowlett "No" For You
Wow Paul Gilbert got prettier face here 😘
リッチーの頃の方が好きだった
Just not the same without PG
Exactly
So that's why I see a lot of Japanese in the crowd... hahaha
Im agree paul is super guitarist but for Mr big more soulful with kozen😀
No drill...
bagusan paul gilbert kalo menurut gue sih
Lisha Lien jauh gan wkwkwkwk...! Itu pas lagi kenapa gan kok pg ga ada???
Mendingan Kang Paul wae atuh
@@ahmadandi450 keluar dia...
gue lebih demen kotzen
When the guitar player sings better than the lead singer
why is there even a lead singer there?
especially a short-haired one holding a cut-away acoustic with a neon sign flashing above him that reads ....
''Warning: anyone sensitive to long durations of slow boring music please go to sector 39 and lay face-down on the restroom floor til help arrives
it's just a ''ballads o.d.'' reaction ... most of us suffer from it but make a full recovery after hearing just one kick-ass tune (like Shy-boy or Race with the Devil on Spanish Highway .... c/o Al Di Meola and friends)
no paul, no mr. big!!!!
Kotzen is OK, but not for Mr Big. Paul is the man!!!
Agree
Jajajajajajsha Paul is soso
Both arw good, both sounds great, bothe great guitarists ❤
without Paul no good man
Don't fuck that famous Paul Gilbert solo up !!! Good job anyway dude
RICHIE IS BETTER SINGER THAN ERIC MARTIN
Fπck you
No
Both are great, but Richie's the best.
Kotzen butchered pretty much all the guitar parts, terrible axx player.
