Mini-interview de Sheehan au passage :
Q: Mr. Big is releasing a live CD, Live From The Living Room. This is a stripped down concert that you did in Japan, with a Japanese string orchestra backing the band. This CD really showcases the beauty of the songs. How difficult was it to choose the setlist for this release, and was it at all challenging playing in this environment?
A: "It was really interesting to hear the orchestra come in and perform the string arrangements for the songs. I never worked with strings before, and I’m a huge classical music fan, so it was really cool to work with these great musicians. As far as the setlist, that wasn’t too difficult. We enjoy pleasing our audience, so we played things that they want to hear. But sometimes, what is pleasing to an audience, is to hear a new take on something that they have already heard. So we went through what we had, and chose what we did and let the chips fall where they may. Also, we sing a lot. While we were rehearsing, before we go to play, we are singing a lot of difficult songs when we are warming up. We purposely challenge ourselves to sing songs that are difficult to sing. Things like CSN, THREE DOG NIGHT, stuff like that. So we were pretty prepared for the performance. But whenever you record anything live, there is always that risk of catastrophe or major screw up. It’s a pressure situation, but it’s a good pressure, it makes it so you have to have it together, or you can fall right on your face. So, we worked very hard to be prepared for this. We sang a lot and we know the songs pretty well. So we let them organically re-shape themselves according to the new template in which we were playing. And then we just let it fly and there it was."
