(QLD, WA) Extreme/Mr Big Live $59.90 Plus Booking Fees @ Lasttix

80

I'm going to need "more than words" to describe this double act.

Eatons Hill Hotel - Grand Ballroom Brisbane • 1 June 7:00pm
$59.90 was $107.65 general admission 18+

Metro City Perth • 8 June 7:30pm
$59.90 was $107.60 general admission 18+

A stellar double header that has two legendary guitar virtuosos between them, is heading to our shores in June 2018. Grammy-nominated Extreme, one of the most successful rock acts of the late '80s & '90s, and hard rock’s original supergroup Mr. Big will be touring capital cities mid-year to showcase their exceptional musical prowess.

Extreme became one of the most prosperous bands of the early '90s when the biggest hit of their career, 'More Than Words', rocketed to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1991, selling over 10 million albums worldwide since their formation in 1985. They’ve released six studio albums, a greatest hits set, and a recent live DVD. The band had initially described their music as ‘funky metal’, but it would evolve much more in the mid-90s by blending classic rock influences with post-grunge and alternative rock.

Formed back in 1988, Mr. Big forged its place in rock history combining trademark "shredding" musicianship with awesome vocal harmonies. Their hits included 'Alive and Kicking', 'Just Take My Heart' and the chart-topping ballad 'To Be With You' (Billboard Hot 100 number one single in 15 countries for weeks, in 1991), propelling the band to huge international success and multi-platinum record sales.

Get ready to quench your rock thirst – this tour is a must-see event for music enthusiasts!

    Instead of writing spiel they should just post a link to a youtube playlist. I have no idea who these bands are but I'm sure I'd know their music if linked to

    Ohhhh man, it was too expensive before but for $30 a band this is hard to pass up. Great if you love 80's power ballads or shred fests!

    damn… would go to Adelaide for this price just to see Nuno play.

    Pornograffitti is an epic album

    Mr Big do nothing for me.

  • Some of the most talented musicians around (That I have ever seen tbh), you're missing out if you don't see these guys.

  • This is the real Extreme, not "More than Words"

    • My god YES!

      I’d happily pay full price to see pornograffiti played live cover to cover.

      Mr Big taking up half a show actually put me off going.

      • I’d happily pay full price to see pornograffiti played live cover to cover.

        Me too, the live DVD is awesome.

        Looks like Asia is getting just Extreme after they've finished here :-( Billy Sheehan is a monster, but I'd much prefer just Extreme.

          I saw them last night. If you like Pornograffiti and 3 Sides then you are in for a treat!

          @thevofa: Yeah, clearly the two best albums of theirs, for sure. 48 hours from now…

        • @thevofa: Seriously underwhelmed by Mr Big (not sure Eric can even sing anymore, and PG really phoned it in while being a clown, although Billy was awesome), but Extreme were terrific. 10m from the stage was a little loud, but I'm sure my hearing will return soonish…

      Wrong video, I have requested a YT link change. That song is great too though.

  • Eatons Hill is a pain to get to if you don't own a car (like me), but for this price I'll just have to go!
