This release features a complete, high-fidelity recording of MR.BIG’s April 7, 2011, concert at Osaka-Jo Hall—a landmark performance that marked the band’s 100th show in Japan during their 2011 "Around The World Tour," which followed the release of their album *What If…*.

The sound quality is breathtaking, capturing every detail with stunning realism—from Eric’s powerhouse vocals to the deep, rumbling low end of Billy Sheehan’s bass. It’s an immersive, goosebump-inducing listening experience! This is guaranteed to get you fired up—it’s absolutely fantastic! The setlist is incredibly generous, featuring nearly every track from their latest release.
During the acoustic segment in the middle of the show, they performed the moving charity song "The World Is On The Way"—written to support disaster victims—live for the very first time.
They also treated the audience to a cover of CSN&Y’s "Carry On"!
From their greatest hits to playful arrangements, solo spots for both Paul and Billy, and massive sing-alongs with the fans, it’s a spectacular performance that spans a full two and a half hours.
Given that this show took place following the major earthquake, the heartfelt remarks from Billy and Eric regarding recovery efforts are deeply touching.
In short, this 100th-anniversary concert is a truly rewarding listen from start to finish!
I can say with certainty that this is a must-hear for any fan.
A commemorative live release, brought to you by the Sylph label!
