Mr Big's Paul Gilbert on Band's Final Victory Lap with The BIG Finish Live Album!
Mr. Big is closing out their 35-year career in a BIG way by releasing two sonically powerful albums to serve as a farewell and victory lap. In July, they released their 10th studio album, simply entitled Ten, and their last-ever live album and DVD release, The BIG Finish Live, which came out September 6th via the Evolution Music Group. The band consists of Eric Martin [lead vocals], Paul Gilbert [guitar, vocals], Billy Sheehan [bass, vocals], and Nick D'Virgilio [drums, vocals]. The BIG Finish Live is a live album and concert film of the band in Budokan, Tokyo, last summer, where the band played their seminal 1991 release, Lean into It, in its entirety with additional Mr. Big classics. Filmed in 4K, it is available in different formats, including 180g Black Vinyl (3 LP), Hybrid Stereo Multi-Channel SACDs (2), MQA-CDs (2), MQA-CDs + Blu-Ray (2), 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray (featuring behind the scenes and interview footage), and cassette (2). These formats will include a booklet/insert that includes previously unreleased photos from their Budokan performance and a sticker or postcard gift for fans.

In my interview, he recounted the equipment challenges the band faced during their overseas tour leading up to their stellar performance and recording at Budokan for The BIG Finish Live. He also discussed the theft of his four prized guitars while on tour and his thoughts on whether he will ever get them back. Paul's passion and enthusiasm were contagious as he reflected on the invaluable lessons he's learned from his 35-year tenure with Mr. Big and its profound impact on the band's songwriting and his personal artistic growth.
