Considering Mr. Big was >one of my favorites in the "hair" era, I'm definitely intrigued. > Well . . . I've had it for about three weeks and only listened to it four times, so I'm not the most qualified to review it, but I'll try - Paul Gilbert indeed kicks booty when he cuts loose on guitar, but that doesn't happen near enough on this disc. Ten of the twelve songs feature Paul's rather soft vocals, and while he's a competent singer, he sure won't scorch your undies like KJLB does. All the songs, except one, are between 1:56 and 4:56 long. Fully half of the songs sound rather "Beatle-esque", with tight harmonies, jangly guitars, tambourines, and poppy melodies that are a little too "perfect". I used to really enjoy this kind of music, but, well, it sure ain't prog. A couple of the songs don't have a lead break at all - kinda weird for an album by a noted "axeman" like Gilbert. One standout is "The Jig", an acoustic version of a J.S. Bach melody that is performed very impressively. "Bumblebee" (no relation to the recently discussed "Flight of . . .") is a 70-ish kick-ass rock tune which unfortunately fades out just when it gets interesting, as does "Double Trouble", another rocker that's just too short. "Streetlights" is a smoky, 6/8 blues tune with a shreddin' solo that seems a little out-of-place. Still, this is probably my favorite cut on the CD, one reason being that Paul seems to put a little more emotion into the vocals. You guitarists out there should like the last track, "The Jam", which seems to be exactly that - a 19:35 long studio jam, which features Paul tearin' it up and trading licks with Bruce Bouillet. This one fades IN (sure sign of a real jam). Main problem with this tune - it gets more than a little tedious, since the bass line never changes, and the pattern is, frankly, dull - it's I - I - I - V for over 19 minutes, fer Ged's sake! There is a double-time change-up, but not 'til 10:45 or so, and then it's just the drums changing - the bass line plods along, exactly the same. At 11:45 it's back to the original tempo - then two minutes later back to double-time, and STILL the bass line is unchanged! Sorry, but I think that falls somewhat short of imaginative. Now, if you're here for the shredding, you're gonna love this tune anyway, cuz Paul does plenty of that. I really like the Robin Trower-influenced licks heard in several places, and the "loosy-goosy" bends interspersed among the 64th notes, but then it ends - and the ending sux. IMO, that is. This one might make it back into the CD-changer a few times, but it's not too likely to enjoy an extended stay. However, if you're a student of guitar technique, you could do much worse than to study "The Jam". Steal these licks, and be revered! There ya go - my first review - shit, that's too much work for an old dude. Hope somebody got something out of it . . .

Well we where at the theater about 1 h before the beginning of the show. From the speakers we could hear all the songs that DT didn't include in the FII (is this usual?) plus the two songs that's in the HY single. The Concert started at 9:05 and finished 11:15. What I have to say is that the band was GREAT. JP a great player, and Mike... Mike"the spit man" is really crazy. I tried to watch his hands and feet but there was times that I lost him. Mike was really great but you already know that. By the way when you see Mike back in America don't get surprised by his short, blond hair. JM he is magician with his bass-guitar. JKLB is getting better as the time pass by. Derek, I'm sorry but I can not speak about his performance, because I just couldn't hear him. That was the only bad thing about this gig. The sound was terrible, and I know that the band had nothing to do with that. From what I know the didn't come here with their own equipment, and probably the man in the console was doing a shity job. Even JP was not content some times about their sound. I mean we could hear all right the drums, the guitar and the bass but we could just hear JKLB, and keys where buried 6 feet under. The main thing is that I really enjoyed the show, no matter how bad the sound was, and really hope that they come back some time in the next few years, for another concert, in a better place (Lycabetous Theater is not the best place in the world for such a concert), and with a better sound. I just hope that the band liked their fans in Greece. In memory I will always have the great solo Mike did. He also did that thing with the audience. He called two fans (unfortunately not me) to play drums with him. The first was not a drummer, but the second was, and he really kicked ass. Even Mike was surprised!? Anyway the songs they played, by album and not by the order they played them (couse I don't remember) are: WDADU Only: The Ytsejam intro of Fortune in Lies (not The Killing Hand. WHY?????????)

Actually I'd have to say my favorite is LaBrie. DT is ont of the few bands that the singer is the one who hooked me on the band. Only after listening to them a few times was I able to start picking out more of subtle nuances of the band. Now it's more or less an 'audio feast' because I'm able to enjoy the music on many different levels.
