From the Japan tour accompanying the first reunion album "WHAT IF...", MR.BIG's 100th live performance in Japan was held on April 7, 2011 at Osaka Castle Hall, which was the first day of the tour. A complete recording of the live performance over two and a half hours with ultra-high quality audience recording. This tour was full of ups and downs, with the venue being canceled due to the unprecedented Great East Japan Earthquake that occurred the previous month, and the venue being suddenly changed just before the event due to damage to the planned venue. While many other artists had to cancel their visits to Japan due to the earthquake, they came as promised and went on tour less than a month after the earthquake. It was a tour that not only impressed many fans with their wonderful live performances at various locations, but also strengthened the bond between MR.BIG and Japanese fans. Among them, this live in Osaka, which was the 100th live in Japan since their first visit in 1989, has become the highlight of the Japan tour. The live show, which lasted about two and a half hours, not only performed hit songs and famous songs, but also 10 out of 11 songs from the new album "WHAT IF..." excluding the Japanese version bonus track. This tour, entitled Around the World Tour, was the first day of the tour in Osaka, except for one live performance in their home country that also served as a general production, but only the professional members will give a perfect performance. It seems that Pat Torpey had been feeling discomfort and pain in his body since around this time, but unexpectedly he came back and performed such a powerful and perfect play that it was hard to imagine such a tragedy. The performance of ``The World Is On The Way'', a charity song written before coming to Japan dedicated to the disaster victims and Japanese fans at the time, and CSN&Y's cover ``Carry On'', both songs have the same meaning in their lyrics. It was a moving scene. The recording is from the middle of the arena. The powerful sound with a clear bottom effect allows you to enjoy this day's live performance from a different angle than the official one as a record from the audience side. There is almost no audience noise, the separation of each instrument is good, and the vivid sound image in which the vocals that sound like Eric Martin singing in front of you stands out is an attraction that is not found in the official version. One month after the earthquake, MR.BIG came to Japan, where there was a mood of self-restraint and the country was sinking.At that time, MR.BIG was like a savior to us rock fans.
