Hi. I stumbled across this. Had to comment. I was the Dir. of Photog / Camera Operator on this. Got the call from a friend at CBS Records. Tommy Chong directed. One camera shoot, 16mm... small crew, empty house, some concept storyboard sketches to go by and 22 hours later, we wrapped. Must have played back the song over 30 times to get a variety of angles. The band was great... patient... talented. The original print looked a lot better, but that was 1986. No HD, no digital post production. I'll never forget it. (aka Jonathan West ASC)
Steve Lukather is widely regarded within the industry as one of the great guitarists of all time... but he's also a very underrated vocalist. When he takes lead, his voice exudes the emotion of the songs with a passion that's just lacking today.
Yes ❣️ I absolutely adore Luke - I love his voice- it’s velvety and soothing. He once said that the band lacked that true “poet” in terms of songwriting (not that Paich wasn’t a fantastic songwriter- I think he was talking about the complex, deep lyrics) but I honestly think if the band had one, it was him! Lukather penned lyrics are the deepest, most poetic and heartfelt ones of all. So yes, amazing guitarist, totally underrated singer and lyricist/composer.
Toto was Jeff Porcaro's baby and in so many videos he was smiling. To me, he was smiling cause he was so very proud of Toto's work. RIP Jeff, Mike and Papa Joe ❤
Toto are up there, but The Beach Boys are arguably way more versatile. From Surf to Baroque to Lo-Fi and R&B to Progressive Pop to Soul, Yacht and Prog Rock to Synth Pop to New Wave. Not to mention the occasional Blues Rock, Hard Rock, Gospel, Country or Barbershop.
@axelkyster2642 Yes, they do. KIMBALL was the primary singer and the successor vocalists after him were recruited to serve that very purpose. Their first album displayed that clearly. Kimball sang 4 out of the 10 songs Paich sang 2 songs , Lukather sang 2 songs , Steve Porcaro sang one and they wisely opened up with the instrumental CHILDS ANTHEM. That debut album revealed how the band was laid out. Problem was after HOLD THE LINE the record company kept picking the softer tunes as singles . The band was pissed that 99 was chosen(as a single) over WHITE SISTER during the HYDRA era. Steve Lukather said it would've put them in with the arena rock bands at the time of 1979-80 period.
Dude is making that guitar cry man... nostalgic track brings back memories of wanting to fall I love...what am saying is there was alot of innocence in 80s music. And am glad to have grown up in the era..
You really can't go wrong when a bunch of veteran studio musicians cross paths while performing on other artists's albums and decide to create a "project" that just happens to yield a top 10 hit (Hold The Line). The side project eventually releases a multi-Grammy-winning album (Toto IV), making these studio musicians house-hold names. Every song in their catalogue us great. This is blue-eyed soul at it's best.
I'm a Millenial (b. 1984--yeah yeah, laugh it up, I know..) and nobody my age knows what "Blue Eyed Soul" means/was. I have to walk them through an "easily recognizable" artist, such as the Righteous Brothers and 'Unchained Melody' (which everyone knows) to explain what Blue Eyed Soul is. "So Blue Eyed Soul was before MTV. Nobody knew what artists looked like back in those days unless they saw an LP cover, or if there was a promotion flyer being passed around and the artists were featured on it. So; naturally, people thought the Righteous Brothers were Black, based on their deep voices and singing style, which more resembled that of a Black duo. As TV became more available in people's homes in the mid-1960s, people were shocked to see the Righteous Brothers as being two white guys who could sing like the brothers."
Wasn’t really a crossing paths or side project. The original core of the band (Porcaros, Lukather, Paich) went to HS together and had played in bands with one another in addition to doing studio work. The Porcaros played on a lot of Boz Skaggs tracks, and it was his suggestion that they all form up and do something together. The rest is, as they say, history.
This man is without a doubt the most talented man. The harmony between these men are incredible. The love this song play it all the time. Pure candy to my ears!
You gotta love the video, i mean it's like he picked up the phone, call all his buddies and was like "Yeah man, she left again, i already wrote a song about it, you wanna rock out?" I love it!
SAW THEM LIVE IN TULSA IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR, IM ONLY 27 AND NEVER GOT TO ENJOY THEM IN THE 80'S LIKE YOU ALL, BUT THEY PUT ON A GREAT SHOW WITH JOURNEY!!
At a store in 2004, this song played in the background . I raced toward the loudest speaker and tried to listen as intently as i could to memorize a snippet of any lyrics as I could, "it's not the same without your love" I kept repeating until I got home, after typing it into the website yahoo or Google I don't remember but it worked,the lyrics got me the name of the artist and song including the video poped up...I haven't let it go since, all I can remember was that this song was played briefly in the song charts growing up on the radio and that it explains emotions, feelings and speaks to my soul, I can't count the times I've listened to it as an adult it just seems to be a fabric of my existence. Thank you Toto for getting me through.
I 100% agree. It's a very haunting song for me, as when it would play quite frequently on Top 40 radio after I experienced a painful breakup with a girlfriend around that time.
This song just popped up in my head from a childhood memory. Decided to Google it. Wow didn't even know that it was song by the amazing band Toto. Beautiful song.....
generasi milenial sekarang mungkin bisa meluangkan waktunya mendengar seni musik 80an dan 90an,karena dekade tersebut adalah masanya seni musik yg benar2 berkualitas,seperti Toto ini.
I loved Toto back in the day~ but only really knew Hold The Line. Recently ran across Toto Live in Paris (1990) on You Tube and something intrigued me to watch it. I fell head over heels in love with Steve Lukather!! I watch it everyday for stress relief!! I highly recommend it! They are coming to Atlanta this summer and I will definitely be going! 💜
Sin dudas la mejor banda musical que he escuchado...con una gran calidad en su música y en sus magníficos vocalistas que ha tenido durante toda su trayectoria...mis respetos y admiración para TOTO.
I'm not from the US but I've visited many times. For me ToTo seems like the perfect US band. It is so all things American. The rock, the blues, the soul, the 80's etc.
TOTO- What can I say.. This BAND will always be my all time FAV next to Steely DAN. Its such a shame that they didn't have a lasting audience but for Europe & Asia. . .
Nah, this has a seven digit amount of views, it's underrated like everything from Toto, but by far not their most underrated. I'd say it's The road goes on. Probably better than this one (at least in my opinion) and only 80,000 views.
@Spos Kanal From what I've read and heard, the rockers and musicians respect them a lot because they do know about their work (even I recently came to know all about the band). Few people know that they are successful session musicians, that they participated in Thriller and other MJ albums, and that they have more songs than Africa, Rosanna and Hold the line. People who don't know much about rock see them as just another band from the 80's and 90's, but they should be much more recognized. I think it's partly because, although the label pressured them to sell a lot of records, they didn't sell them like other artists. They didn't change their physique to look prettier or more perfect (although I think Lukather was cute when he was young :P), they didn't change their way of dressing and they didn't dedicate themselves to a single style to be more recognizable. They dedicated themselves to being what they really wanted to be all along, to be musicians. I really like this band because, apart from being very good, they really love what they do and put soul and heart into everything. Lukather himself said that they didn't like to do one thing because it was boring, but instead of being valued by people for that, it was one of the reasons they were most criticized. What band can do so many different songs and do them well? And apart from everything else, with all the problems and losses they've had, they still exist more than 40 years after they started. I wish I could see them in live someday.
While I've always thought it looked awkward when a guitarist/bassist wore his/her instrument above (or below) his/her waistline, I certainly don't discount Mike's musicianship.
Para mi es la mejor banda de todos los tiempos, ya que presenta una gran variedad de ritmos en las canciones y se adaptan a cualquier estilo de música, si cambian de integrantes o de vocalista, no importa, siguen teniendo éxito en el mundo entero y la prueba de que sus canciones son las mejores, en el año 2013 con su disco en vivo en Polonia, el cuál fué una recopilación de sus temas obtuvieron primeros lugares de ventas en más de 12 países, incluyendo E.U (primer lugar en ventas)a pesar de que ahi en el pasado como que no los tomaron muy en cuenta, por lo que tuvieron que emigrar.Será que finalmente E.U. se dio cuenta de que se trataba de verdaderos "mounstros del rock"
Sayeret Matkal Obviamente hay otras bandas buenas como las que las mencionaste, pero ninguna tiene musicos de altisimo nivel en sus respectivos instrumentos como Toto, verdaderos genios en ejecución y composición
You feeeel them. Thanks for pointing that out. Jeff had that ability to pull emotion out of shit. That backbeat is so far back.....John Bonham would be impressed.
Wall-to-wall carpets. Very American. Very 80's. I love this track! The production is solid. Backing choir is superb. Only thing missing is Michael McDonald doing a small vocal cameo in the middle or something like that. And that melancholic guitar at the end - top score! Still, it brings out the sadness in me. The best tracks often do.
So many classics from this band, especially Hold the Line, but this is actually my favorite. Saw them live in ‘82 and going to see them again in October. Very excited!
This is just a rocking piece. Regardlessly underrated. Especially as the lyrics has some points of which the world needs more. For instance, "I think I know why you left this time, but it's still hard to say" - this line tells a lot about the lyrical self and the relationship he mourns: the reasons of the split-up were open, but the lyrical self still confesses that he can't cope with what happened. The lyricist was Billy Nicholls, as far as I know: I wonder if he was inspired by his own pain or any of the band members', by compassion, but the entire lyrics is authentic from tip to toe. And the video...Luke's acting skills reveal here. His face and posture is as expressive as no one else's. Pity that I've never seen him playing in any movies.
Toto grande band grandi musicisti bellissime canzoni splendidi arrangiamenti e poi persone umili non gli manca niente tra i migliori di sempre love Toto from Italy😊
This song gets overlooked sometimes. Its one of my faves. Luke gave a soulful vocal and his playing was on spot. However I think he's better looking now.
I actually liked how his look kept changing through the years and that he had so many different haircuts and styles. Georgy Porgy Luke though-overwhelming heartthrob phase
the wrong thing is, they are far not enough recognized as the best rock/hard rock band ever, cos they are. I prefer various metal bands on a daily basis, but it`s more like "there are bands and there is Toto"..
Let me explain why we like music like this and it doesn't get old at all, because we're good people who want to hear a nice beat with nice constructive lyrics. I wasn't around back than but I like it.

I hope someone can find that original print and rescan it and remaster this video!
Omg!! how are they in person though..?
I'll be over you is also one of the best songs of toto and I know I'm 20 years pf age but who cares..😒

@CdMcbean David Paich wrote WITHOUT YOUR LOVE not Lukather.
Agree much. He’s such a great musician.
Yep
Toto was Jeff Porcaro's baby and in so many videos he was smiling. To me, he was smiling cause he was so very proud of Toto's work.
RIP Jeff, Mike and Papa Joe
❤
Absolutely
Toto is by far the most versatile band ever... from hard rock to pop to soul to a bit of R&B.
Earth, Wind and Fire.
@@nathanielmasau6665 EWF doesn't have as many rock songs as Toto does
And Queen.
The range is unbelievable and sustained.
Toto are up there, but The Beach Boys are arguably way more versatile. From Surf to Baroque to Lo-Fi and R&B to Progressive Pop to Soul, Yacht and Prog Rock to Synth Pop to New Wave. Not to mention the occasional Blues Rock, Hard Rock, Gospel, Country or Barbershop.
The porcaro Family oh my god wat a wonderful gift .
This song is EVERYTHING! The bassline, Steve's vocals and guitar solo, the background singers...everything!
yessssss Brenda! !! just phenomenal! !!!!
I totally agree with you
+1
Great range for Steve!!! The songs fit the voices. Including Bobby Kimball when he "cuts in." (in other songs )
Toto is one of my favorite bands! I love Steve Lukather. He pulls at heartstrings when he sings, and his guitar solos are so full of emotions too..
This is one of those bands where the lead singer is not the only one that can sing.
Since they don't....and never reallly have....had one.... Luke. Bobby. Joey. Fergie. Jean-Michel. And don't forget Paich, baby!!
@axelkyster2642 Yes, they do. KIMBALL was the primary singer and the successor vocalists after him were recruited to serve that very purpose. Their first album displayed that clearly.

Rip Mike and Jeff, may god rest their souls, for they were beyond gifted.
Don't forget Paulette Brown ❤❤ the backing singer. At this time Lenny Castro's wife...
This man is without a doubt the most talented man. The harmony between these men are incredible. The love this song play it all the time. Pure candy to my ears!

The guitar solo on this song is one of Steve's finest. Beautiful. Kinda has that Japanese flute feel.
God the chord progressions in this song........I don’t think I’ve ever heard something that made my heart ache so much.
I totally agree. I'm just hearing this for the first time today and I can't get over it. So, so beautiful
I 100% agree. It's a very haunting song for me, as when it would play quite frequently on Top 40 radio after I experienced a painful breakup with a girlfriend around that time.

This song just popped up in my head from a childhood memory.
Decided to Google it.
Wow didn't even know that it was song by the amazing band Toto.
Beautiful song.....
Yes, good old TOTO they live!
What a nice video to accompany an incredible song?

Queste poesie di califano... Sono pugni bello stomaco... Le parole sanno di sale e bruciano sulle nostre ferite.. Mai banali... Un mito grazie maestro
Thought of this track today here in February of 2025... bad azz track.. Jeff Porcaro kills it with simplicity..👍👍👍
how could anyone call this bland. THIS IS AMAZING!
generasi milenial sekarang mungkin bisa meluangkan waktunya mendengar seni musik 80an dan 90an,karena dekade tersebut adalah masanya seni musik yg benar2 berkualitas,seperti Toto ini.
I put bands “in threes”. Toto, Reo Speedwagon, and Chicago are a trinity
Listening in January 2024 ❤
LUKE FOREVER❤
Listening in August 2024 🎹🥁🎶
😂 I'm still listening in 2024 too! I love Toto! The older music has me vibing with the good old days. ❤
I loved Toto back in the day~ but only really knew Hold The Line.

Quality of the highest order
You can see the happiness in their smiles knowing that song writting at this level can and will only be written by this band..
Jeff Porcaro was a human drum machine ....with his own unique groove on every song !!....In my opinion....the greatest drummer ever !!
Tony Sexton I agree!
Jeff was everything.. and more.. miss him..🥺
My favorite Toto ballad. So perfect and so is Lukather's voice!
Soulful song.. Backup singers were on point. and Luke nailed the lead vocals.
The porcaro brothers ,Steve Lukather,David and Joseph just rock...Sadly Jeff and Mike are no more...Rest in peace and thank you for your lovely music.
do you like rerun
Love this song, the harmonies are so smooth Steve’s voice is great rock on ToTo🎸🎸🎸
Sublime vocals. Toto had that wow factor .
how much talent was there in the Porcaro family?!!!
Infinite
More in their little toes than most of the mainstream trash today.
I know right
Too much
Músicos de uma pegada muito talentosa 🔥
Sin dudas la mejor banda musical que he escuchado...con una gran calidad en su música y en sus magníficos vocalistas que ha tenido durante toda su trayectoria...mis respetos y admiración para TOTO.

The music, the lyrics, that voice, everything about this song is just so perfect.
TOTO had so much soul.
"has", my friend. RIP to Mike and Jeff and I wish Bobby was back with them but they are still amazing! Go see them while you can!
Shawn Shawn agreed!👍
amen this song and Georgy porgy was very soulful
TOTO- What can I say.. This BAND
will always be my all time FAV next to Steely DAN. Its such a shame that they didn't have a lasting audience but for Europe
& Asia. . .
Love them to death, best every, ever, they r fantastic!!!!!!!!!
This song is so groovin! Toto was ALWAYS this bad ass
I think TOTO and Chicago is in a different league especially Toto.
I think this is Toto's most underrated song. It's not their best for me, but it's simply great!
Dunno why they didn't put this in their "Past To Present 1977-1990" compilation album. I forgot about this song until just the other day!
Eduardo De Jesus De gustibus, vecio. Per me è una canzone meravigliosa! Come tutta la band, daltrondeeeeeeeeeee

One of the greatest bands of all time!!!! Music that even catches the attention of kids today. Timeless!
Steve is one of the most talented guitarist of the world and he has a very beautiful voice too
The best band ever
One of the best guitar solos of all time. Such a dirty groove! I always love it. Being deeply romanitc doesn’t hurt it.
They have so many under-rated songs since their trademark songs are two of the biggest in 80s, but this is a truly under-rated and terrific song.
Para mi es la mejor banda de todos los tiempos, ya que presenta una gran variedad de ritmos en las canciones y se adaptan a cualquier estilo de música, si cambian de integrantes o de vocalista, no importa, siguen teniendo éxito en el mundo entero y la prueba de que sus canciones son las mejores, en el año 2013 con su disco en vivo en Polonia, el cuál fué una recopilación de sus temas obtuvieron primeros lugares de ventas en más de 12 países, incluyendo E.U (primer lugar en ventas)a pesar de que ahi en el pasado como que no los tomaron muy en cuenta, por lo que tuvieron que emigrar.Será que finalmente E.U. se dio cuenta de que se trataba de verdaderos "mounstros del rock"

Underrated ?? He's well known around the world and in the industry, the same as Toto. Every musician know these guys are serious. :)
the wrong thing is, they are far not enough recognized as the best rock/hard rock band ever, cos they are. I prefer various metal bands on a daily basis, but it`s more like "there are bands and there is Toto"..
underrated guitar, perhaps....underrated band...!!?? are you kidding me..???
Underrated by idiots.
Toto is not underrated. Theyre on toir now n still selling out ARENAS!
those verses are killer....one of my all-time favorites

Great Band and truly Awesome song!!!!
Let me explain why we like music like this and it doesn't get old at all, because we're good people who want to hear a nice beat with nice constructive lyrics. I wasn't around back than but I like it.
