I saw Billy and Mr. Big last night at the Fillmore. Good show Eric Martin is a good entertainer. Now for Billy I was thinking he is a bit more on the skinny side.He always been thin but I was watching his fingers all night and I kept saying "ow" to my self.I was waiting for blood to start running. He beats the hell out of them. There is no meat on those felanges.He sure has fun on stage.He uses that 4 box Hartke stack and I see he keeps his rack behind the stack,interesting he goes behind the speakers from time to time to make adjustments.Well all and all a nice home comming for the boys.The drummer sure sets up his kit low.I don't believe I've seen cymbals mounted so low before.I think he is trying to keep his elbows below his shoulders.

I saw this tour in Houston last night...should be a law against having that much talent on one stage. Top notch, amazing musicianship. I was not surprised as I have seen them before, but this foursome does not disappoint. There was a fairly small crowd but they were playing like they were in Budokan.

I was at the Houston show as well. Eric is badass, that's all I got to say. He was very cool with my kid and gave him a Paul Gilbert guitar pick.
