<p>Simply put, there is no other hard rock supergroup that is more important than <a href="~/"><u><strong>Mr. Big</strong></u></a>.</p><p>With over 4 million albums sold worldwide, the band – vocalist <a href="~/"><u><strong>Eric Martin</strong></u></a>, guitarist <a href="~/"><u><strong>Paul Gilbert</strong></u></a>, bassist <a href="~/"><u><strong>Billy Sheehan</strong></u></a> and original drummer <a href="~/"><u><strong>Pat Torpey</strong></u></a> – has released some of the most beloved pop/rock tunes worldwide, influenced an entire generation of musicians and forever changed the music game by becoming the standard for both technical proficiency and excellent song craftsmanship for 35 years.</p><p>Which is why it is a gargantuan – and definitely bittersweet – moment for <a href="~/"><u><strong>PULP Live World</strong></u></a> to announce that the highest-selling supergroup has, indeed, included Manila, Philippines among its final stops on it’s the <strong><a href="~/"><u>The BIG Finish</u></a> farewell tour </strong>this <strong>August 9<sup>th</sup>, 2023</strong>.</p><p>Most notably, the band has also formed one of the deepest connections to its worldwide fanbase throughout the decades… especially to the Filipino people. This will be <a href="~/"><u><strong>Mr. Big</strong></u></a>’s fifth time in Manila, and the band is just as excited to see their fans come out.</p><p>Though original drummer and co-founder <a href="~/"><u><strong>Pat Torpey</strong></u></a> sadly passed in February of 2018 due to Parkinson’s Disease, the band is proud to announce that they will be joined by longtime friend <a href="~/"><u><strong>Nick D&#x27;Virgilio</strong></u></a>, who <a href="~/"><u><strong>Gilbert</strong></u></a> shares, was “a fan of Pat’s, and is the closest to getting the spirit of the late drummer’s breadth of skill.” D&#x27;Virgilio is now-among the list of the few prominent musicians to have played with <strong>Mr. Big</strong>, which includes drummers <strong>Matt Starr</strong> and and guitar superstar <a href="~/"><u><strong>Richie Kotzen</strong></u></a>.</p><p>Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper goodbye if the band didn’t deliver its biggest hits for one last time:<strong> <a href="~/"><u>“To Be With You,”</u></a> <a href="~/"><u>“Just Take My Heart,”</u></a> <a href="~/"><u>“Green-Tinted Sixties Mind,”</u></a> <a href="~/"><u>“Take Cover,”</u></a> <a href="~/"><u>“Wild World,”</u></a> <a href="~/"><u>“Shine,”</u></a> <a href="~/"><u>“Goin’ Where The Wind Blows”</u></a></strong> are just a few classics in the band’s repertoire, having released nine full-length studio albums, countless of live albums, singles and rarities from 1989 to the present. And for this tour, the band will be playing their breakthrough Platinum-selling 1991 album <a href="~/"><u><strong>Lean Into It</strong></u></a> in its entirety.</p><div><strong>10). &quot;Goin&#x27;

I love playing with these guys, and if I’m being honest, I don’t want it to ever end – but if this is really the end, then I want us all to have a happy ending together.”</p><p>Guitarist <strong>Paul Gilbert</strong> concludes: “Music is like time travel – you can hear something that takes you back to 1992 – and on this tour, I want to give people the opportunity to time-travel…Good music is timeless.”</p><p>Here&#x27;s the rest of our playlist:</p><div><strong>9). <a href="~/"><u>&quot;Nothing But Love&quot;</u></a></strong></div><p>Beautiful, orchestra-worthy chord progressions that blend so elegantly with the soulful pop-rock voice of <strong>Eric Martin</strong>.</p><div><iframe allow="accelerometer;
