Mr. Big played the opening concert of The Big Finish farewell world tour on Sunday at the Yongging Youth Sports Park in Yongqing, China.

The band’s first performance since 2018 was also their first without founding drummer Pat Torpey, who died of complications related to Parkinson's Disease that same year. Performing in his place was Nick D’Virgilio, who had previously performed with Genesis and Tears for Fears.

You can see the complete set list and several fan-shot videos from the show below.

Bassist Billy Sheehan, guitarist Paul Gilbert and singer Eric Martin have promised that their farewell tour will be a lengthy one, with dates set to stretch into 2024.

The album tracks “CDFF-Lucky This Time” and "My Kinda Woman" were played live for the first time since 1992 at Sunday's show. Other highlights included a cover of Cat Stevens’ “Wild World” and “Shy Boy” from bassist Billy Sheehan’s days with his early band Talas.

Sheehan has hinted that Mr. Big may record some new music. “We talked about writing a couple of things and getting together,” he told Talkin’ Bout Rock, adding that the plans weren’t “set in stone yet.” He said the farewell tour was a good way to put “a period at the end of the sentence.”
