Toto - Rosanna. The Porcaro Shuffle on drums. So so sweet.
Lol, I was trying to read your comment in the glare of the sun and I thought you wrote "the Porcaro shuffle on drugs. So, so sweet"
@@TEXICANROCKNROLL Both of those statements are true Spongebob.
Man...What can I say about Toto....when we .... i heard Toto....it was like the second coming of the gods of Rock n' Roll...Making them "The New gods of Rock n' Roll. In the 80's we experienced The New Wave of Rock n' Roll gods......that's why trhe music critics called the 80's music "New Wave" music....because it was....it was creative with R & B, House music, Rap music, Blues, Jazz, World music, & Country music all mixed into one music vibe.....and we LOVED it!!! So, Toto was The New gods of Rock n' Roll....along with Tears For Fears...U2.....Simple Mind.....Cheap Trick.....R.E.M....new gods....of music.....just great music!
Steve Lukather just does a solo to die for as far as any other guitarist on the planet wants to do in a song like this, just perfect... God damn it, just luv it to bits...
The guitarist makes one huge run from top to bottom that amazes me to this day..
Triplets throughout!!! Very dynamic musicianship 3 major hits! The rest is history
Jeff Porcaro was a beast. He is the drummer on Beat It
Steve Lukather from Toto also played guitar and bass on it. Eddie Van Halen played the solo only.
Michael Jackson sang Beat It. I sing it before every knife fight I’m in.
He's on hundreds of other songs. He was a reliable studio musician who was always in demand.
@@VinzClorthokeymasterofGozer And Weird Al at restaurants.....Eat It
I remember Jeff from those old Madame Wong’s Santa Monica days... he was great 👍🏻
You just listened to a legend on the drums, R.I.P. Jeff... the entire band is so tight.
Tighter than a snakes arse in a sandstorm.
Glad you spoke about Jeff Porcaro. He is a drum legend (sadly, disturbingly taken MUCH too soon from us [back in 1992] 😭😭😭😥).
Jeff is, rightfully, a legend in the music community and esp. among drummers. He was, not only extremely skilled and talented, he was generous and helpful to young players coming-up after him ...as well as to players on sessions. One of the true greats. No question at all. 🤘🤘
If you, really, want to hear Jeff rip, check out Steely Dan's "Night By Night" (on the Pretzel Logic album). A 19-year-old Porcaro is called-in to track this killer groove and (reportedly) plays it down in a single take.
[I believe I left you a long piece re: the history of Steely Dan and how it began as a full band, but beginning with Pretzel Logic, became, solely: Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, along with Roger Nichols (the sound engineer GENIUS!) and " whoever they called in to play parts." -...I won't reiterate it here ...but: You should be aware... It is more involved than one would think! - Anyway: It was durimg the recording of and touring for the Pretzel Logic album which these began to take place.
- "Skunk" Baxter leaving and joining The Doobie Brothers, et al. .... - You ought to read it when you get a chance, Chod. 👍👍]
- All of the members of Toto were studio musicians before forming Toto (a bit "on a whim," really...) - except for the lead-singer, that is (he was not ...and he remains one of my LEAST favorite all time vocalists!!!!! -Although, on THIS song ["Hold The Line"] he does serve it up pretty well. 👍👍 (This is, BY FAR, my favorite Toto song, ever! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🔥).
The major components of Toto were the 2 (then: 3) Porcaro brothers [Jeff (of course) on drums; Steve on keyboards (although he is, usually, thought of as "second fiddle" to Paich, within Toto ...this is a simplification, at best and in many ways: a fallacy.) ans, later: Mike - bass [after David Hungate departed the band/was forced out] ]
and David Paich: keyboards.
[Jeff Porcaro and Mike Porcaro together is one of the best rock rhythm sections you'll ever experience. No question. (Just to differentiate for the standard/jazz rhythm section, when most people talk about "rhythm section" ...they, basically have NO clue, but, also: in rock bands, while keyboards are often included, they do not function in the same manner as in jazz, so the traditional rhythm section [bass, drums, piano] is cut-down to, only: bass and drums (when referred to in the vernacular). -Just "f.y.i.") ]
- The most intriguing piece of trivia (which most people. STILL, aren't aware of!) re: this band, *I think!* is that: While recording Toto IV (The album with their massive hits: "Africa" and "Rosanna" on it!), the band in fact, had "a day job!"
[Between "Hold The Line" - the debut single off of their debut album; and the hits that came with Toto IV, this band was, really, not successful. No big hits (or hits, to SPEAK of, at ALL!) or "radio staple airplay" songs, whatsoever.]
...Toto's "day job" during the recording of Toto IV??:
Being Quincy Jones' "house band" and recording m,j.'s Thriller album. That's right!
...on a large# of the tracks on Thriller, you are hearing Toto playing. 👍👍(Yes: other musicians were brought in for certain songs or certain parts, but the core of Toto were tracking for Quincy, every day and, then, going off to write, arrange or record for: Toto IV, at night!. 👍)
[one more "slight aside" 😋: The name "Toto" does NOT come from/has nothing to do with: Dorothy's dog from "The Wizard Of Oz." Nope.
It comes, instead, from the "legalese" term (it is, commonly, now, only used in law ...or, perhaps, in literature...)/expression, from the classic Latin: the phrase: "in toto,"
meaning/referring to: "in total," "completely" or "absolutely".
Best translation (sans any context) I would say would be: "in total" or "in full."
...And there you have that, then. 😜🤘🤘]
The Porcaro brother were so talented. Steve Porcaro wrote Michael Jackson’s Human Nature, I know other members of Toto played on too many songs to count. Toto had world class musicians and vocalists. Go on down the rabbit hole. But after you listen to Hold The Line, Africa and Rosanna there are other great songs to react to. Goodbye Girl and I’ll Supply The Love with Bobby Kimball on lead vocals are bangers. I’ll Be Over You (with Michael McDonald on backing vocals) and Georgy Porgy (with Cheryl Lynn) are both smooth and sexy with amazing guitarist Steve Lukather on lead vocals. These are must haves on your Toto journey. Thanks for this reaction!

Between Jeff's work on both Toto and the countless other artists that he played for, he was one of the most recorded drummers in history - playing on over 5,000 songs. He is a legend...
This song and "GEORGY PORGY" are my absolute faves. Amazing, Accomplished band!
(Toe-Toe like the toes on your feet) TOTO's "Hold The Line" is a classical rock anthem that is absolute FIRE!!! It is a VIBE that will never get old!!! Nice reaction Chod!!!
Toto You supply the night I'll supply the love. And 99
“Africa” is one of their best songs. Love the ritme in their songs.
You are fortunate to have us fans pre-filtering over 4 decades of music. You are getting recommendations for only the only the cream of the crop (in most cases).
Not only is the singer fabulous but, the drummer and the lead guitarist are both incredible!!
I love listening and watching your Reactions. I was so fortunate to say that all of the music from the 80's was music I was hearing as it was being released. Just like being at the bakery as the sweet bread is coming out of the oven. Greatest decade for music!!!!!!
Check out Toto’s “Rosanna” next, please. That’s my favorite of all of their awesome songs.
Helene here: did I mention yet what a HUGELY deep bench of great bands we were blessed with in the Seventies? Yeah I think I did. This was Jeff Pecaro...one of the best drummers of the time. Bassist Sklar has spoken of Jeff’s “pocket” as one of the best.......loved playing with him.
Steve lukather ..guitar solo..played on thriller..helped write beat it for MJ.. drummer Jeff pocaro wrote Human Nature for Michael Jackson...these guys were band for Bozz Skaggs and on Steely Dan too!
Jeff Porcaro rip, grew up in the studio. His dad was a session drummer and Jeff was there. He was playing sessions as a young teenager. Still one of the best ever.
1978. LOVE it! THANKS FOR THE LISTEN!
You may have heard this one, but Chicago's "25 or 6 to 4" is a classic
Rocky Top!!!!
Toto was a stacked band of mostly session musicians. Quincy Jones grabbed several of the fellas to help record Thriller for MJ.
A couple of them backed up Boz Skaggs. Between them they have bee on thousands of tracks.
@@rayj1011 they had chops for days.
They were session Musicians, and have played for numerous bands.
The late great Jeff Porcaro is one of the best grove and feel drummer ever. His most famous grove is the shuffle from Rosanna. But my favorite song is Gaucho from Steely Dan. The ghost notes on that song will give you chills. Also check out the song Lido Shuffle from Bog Skaggs. He also played with Michale McDonald and Michael Jackson, but is most know for his work with Steely Dan and Toto.
I think you’d really like Asia. Asia was made up of dudes from Yes, Emerson Lake and Palmer and King Crimson. Try ‘Heat of the Moment’ and ‘Only Time Will Tell’. 👍🏻
Agreed! I don't understand why so many people hate on "Asia". Granted, the later albums weren't very good IMO, but their debut album was great. A song from that album that you didn't mention, "Time Again", wasn't released as a single but is one of my favorites that I wish would get more exposure.
I remember as a kid, living in East Los Angeles at the time, going to the library and blindly checking out the album (yes young one's, like books, you could check out albums), anyhow, I checked it out because the album cover was cool and the music was just as cool
@@TEXICANROCKNROLL Right? The poster with that album art was 🔥🔥🔥!
We have to introduce him to King Crimson... and as much as he loves organ and keyboards, The first few ELP records ... Lucky Man
@@vrvaughn Yeah, good call - agreed. 👍🏻
Chod just remember that when it comes to music, fashion, drumming or most anything - everything old is new again! That's why there's so many remakes of everything.
A few of the band members were session musicians on Michael Jackson’s Thriller
Nice to hear you give props to Jeff Porcaro on drum. This song introduced me to him as a kid & blew me away. To this day I'm still discovering tracks he played on......he played on hundreds of tracks from Lido by Boz Scaggs to Michael Jackson's Beat it & Human Nature to Steely Dan's Bad Sneekers & Black Friday & FM to Madonna's Like a Prayer to B 52's Dreamin' to George Benson's Lady Love Me to Roger Water's It's a Miracle to one of the last tracks he recorded Bruce Springsteen's Human Touch....which he released just after he passed as a tribute.
Funny you mentioned "pocket drummer" like on Smooth Criminal because Toto's drummer Jeff Porcaro played the drums on MJ's Thriller album. Our soundman used to EQ the room with Thriller and the drums were soooo in the "pocket".
A couple of great Toto sings that never get any love are Girl Goodbye and Afraid of Love.
It's about time brother. Drums =Jeff Porcaro! Nice reaction as always 🤘
These session musicians got together and made about 25 albums...A great rabbit hole to go down.
"White Sister" live 25th anniversary, if you like keys and drums, this is a band for you. Let's not forget the lead singer and the rest of the band. They are best known for their love songs but they could throw down with the best of them. Keep on rocking young man!
These guys were studio musicians for most Los Angeles recording sessions. Boz Skaggs, Steely Dan, the Doobie Brothers. Many many more you will find members of this band on the groove.
Yes Jeff Porcaro is a drum God! He just knows where to play and when to lay back for the song. He’s on another level ...there are many layers to his playing. Great reaction yet again!
Nazareth - This Flight Tonight
T-Rex - Bang a Gong - 20th Century boy
Aerosmith - Mama Kin - Chip away at the Stone - Toys in the Attic
David Bowie - Rebel Rebel
1990 live performance from Paris I Won’t Hold You Back- Steve Lukather- one of the greatest lead vocalists and guitarist in rock. You will not be disappointed.
One of their under rated and under played George Porgy the live version is one hell of a groove
This takes me back 40 years to a gentleman's club and a dancer named Pepper who would dance to this song....ah my good old single days.
From same album, check out "Takin' It Back" and "Georgy Porgy".
Oh yeah. Georgy porgie is one of my favs. Lots of funk.
🎸🎙️Kick ASS musician's 🎹 This Jam NEVER gets old💯 Really enjoying taking this journey with YOU Wilburn👊
Toto formed as a band in 1977... The year I graduated from HS... I feel SO fortunate to have spent my teens when most of the truly great music came to be! :) More Toto for sure! Then maybe some more Dire Straits... 'Wild West End'? This live version is identical to the album version. th-cam.com/video/T4Ad_J_2l0w/w-d-xo.html As requests go, this one goes out to any young man that has ever had a best friend with which he hung out with on the streets of their home town. Don't forget to note the fingerstyle Strat by Mark Knopfler. That's his brother beside him on the guitar with the capo on the 5th fret. Get this one digested, then pick anything from their first album or their 'Brothers in Arms' album. :)
That is a POWERFUL song!..... It really KICKS ASS! How can you not love this groove....... I'm with you CHAD!!!
Try The Cult...maybe She Sells Sanctuary or Fire Woman or Edie(Ciao Baby).
Their track "99" is perfect. Hydra is epic.
It's been said that Toto rarely played the song 99 because Steve Lukather disliked it so much. I saw Toto on November 2, 2019 just weeks before their final show, after which Toto was disbanded. I can attest that the song 99 was not played that night even though you could hear the occasional shout out for the song from the audience.
Steve Lukather can tear up a guitar.
Rosanna Has The Shuffle
Toto they are awesome 👏 love them
Check out Pamela , Georgy Porgy Jeff Porcaro was a master. He's on a lot of songs you have most likely heard and just don't know it. Two of his brothers were also in the band Mike RIP and Steve Everyone but singer Bobby Kimball grew up together
My rabbit hole. Rosanna made a fan, but I Won't Hold You Back stole my soul. Tons of great music.
You need to explore Cream, one of the best classic rock bands and also The Police - "Spirits in a Material World"
One of our favorite songs! My hubby and I will sit in the car after pulling into our carport and listen to this till the end before we get out of the car! Closing in on our seventies but we still love to rock!
Pamela - the track is great and the official video is a fun watch as well
Before becoming Toto. The original members were sought after studio musicians who played on many albums including Michael Jackson's Thriller album.
Toto had about three or four big hits including Rozanna, and Africa. As a drummer you need to hear Rozanna. The cymbal work is epic! Please check out Blue Rodeo, Bad Timing or Try. Ill keep asking. lol
Y’all need to dig deeper.. they got great songs for days. They just didn’t a huge amount of hits, but still more than you are recalling
Toto's song Georgy Porgy is very right up your line 😁 the song Rosanna is a great shuffle 🙏🔥
Probably my favorite Toto song, thank you for the reaction!
Please do some more Jethro Tull. They have a couple dozen albums and their work from 1969 - 1979 is particularly good. Try 'With You There to Help Me' from their 'Benefit' album. It is just before they completely blew up and became famous with their 'Aqualung' and 'thick as a Brick' albums. Both of which are extraordinary, but also very saturated in the reaction scene. The song you did 'Locomotive Breath' is from 'Aqualung' and is awesome, but hearing a couple songs that are right at their break-out era is special.
So many great memories as a child listening to Toto.
This song, Africa, Rosanna and Georgie Porgy are just a few of their great songs
Would still love to see you react to "The Police - Message in a Bottle" for a taste of Reggae - Rock
Toto - Pamela, or Toto-Waiting for your love, very different songs, but both incredible
Toto was my last concert before COVID. Not a huge fan, but had a really good time.
You got my like for this one your the winner! If you jam on it you got it this is a banger by Toto! They hit pay dirt on this one!🤯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💖💖💖💖💫💫💖💫💯💯💯💯💯💯 I know you like me you loved the drums on this!!!!!! Yesssss!!!! Your smile said it all!!!
Jeff Porcaro always played for the song. Recorded with tons of artists.
Chod,I’m so glad that you understand the importance of being a pocket drummer.It takes discipline to stay in a groove and play what’s appropriate for the song.The guys that know this are the drummers that the most gigs.
That's so cool that you caught the bass pedal work.
Isn't it great when you here a song that just takes your breath away?
They were soo underrated
PLease do Rosanna “live in Paris with Sklar, Lukather and Simon Phillips on drums. Great jazz fusion jam at end
Aaaah! Too nice!!! 👏🏻👏🏻
Chod, your reaction was no different than ours upon hearing that song for the first time.
Journey’s first drummer Aynsley Dunbar was pretty quick with the single kick. I can’t remember which song best showcases it off the top of my head.. maybe Kouhetek.. maybe someone else can weigh in?
Rosanna. Drums are exquisite on that track as well.
💯NEVER "Dissapointed" with your AWESOME Reactions Bro👊 Like how YOU have the VID LARGE, not many do it this way👍 Keep up the GREAT work and ENJOY your weekend 👊
You mentioned Smooth Criminal.
Connection here is that Steve Lukather from Toto played guitar on Michael Jackson’s Beat It.
That is a classic mang! 👌
Back in the day when I was in bands I played with a guy who could triple and quad that bass foot. It was sick.
Toto is awesome ! 👏👍💯
If you want to hear more Jeff Porcaro in different context, plese try "When I Need You " - Leo Sayer, "Lowdown" - Boz Scaggs from which there's also an official 70's live with Jeff, "Mr. Briefcase" - Lee Ritenour, :)
Reminds me of grand theft auto. Thank for playing this made me feel better as I've been sad last 24 hrs but that lifted me 😊
Lukather is perhaps one of the most important guitarists in history
This band I'd off the chang... I was 14 yrs old jamming to the best of music ever. I f I could go beak to my genre.. this 61 yr lady would be goooooonnnnn!!!!!
Ty you man. You channel is the G O A T man. It truly is.
Hope you'll get into some early Fleetwood Mac, before Nicks and Buckingham... like "Station Man", "Bare Trees", "Tell Me All The Things You Do", "Hypnotized"... and for something completely different Les McCann and Eddie Harris live at Montruex doing "Compared To What".
I'm with the others that suggest "Rosanna".
"I'll Supply the Love" is another one you should review.
I've got to learn this one on drums!!!!!
Doobie Brothers... I keep forgetting. ..
What a Fool Believes... Listen to the Music. 💕
Time to get back to Kansas: "Miracles Out of Nowhere".
My favorite Toto song. I think I mentioned before- but try Georgy Porgy (Will go on your vibe list- so will 99) and I really like Stranger in Town.
Bobby Kimball prayers has dementia ...Steve Lukather, one of the best around...Jeff Porcaro, rip DYNAMIC DRUMMER. Check out Paris live 1990....killer.
Love the shirt!! Love the song!
Pls do You are the flower by Toto, it’s a really underrated cut, which no one seems to react to, but they’re missing out! 🙌🏻
Talk about drummers. Listen to Steve Gadd and his fills on Steely Dans "Aja" some of the best ever recorded.
late great Jeff porcaro on drums. (groove master)
React to some 70's funk Brass Construction - Get up to get down
Loving your reactions dude
Steve has the Neal Schon look going on in this video lol
Toto is legit!
Goodbye girl. A must.
Takin it Back!!!!
