Caught them in March 2023, Steve still plays guitar better than ANYONE in the business and the band is so freakin tight. Missing lots of Porcaros but man what a show. Toto is one of the best bands to do it live!
Nobody wants to comment on Simon Phillips's performance? He's playing Drums like a monster without forgetting the great Jeff Porcaro , Simon has a Fantastic Style, he can creates a marvelous groove in each song of Toto !
I think Simon was absolutely fantastic. He’s really a great drummer. He’s not replacing anyone. He’s bringing his own special sauce to the table. He’s really a great fit with everyone here. They are a cohesive team.
I've seen Zeppelin, Purple, Queen, Santana, Tull, but never TOTO. Seems to me like they would have been number 1, just from watching this live performance. Maestros and Virtuosos - 6 of them right there in front of you. Unique........ the songs are superb too
I grew up listening to Toto when I discovered them by mistake when my Dad, a drum teacher, recorded the Live In Paris gig - I was 15 and totally blown away. I learned drums and was obsessed with Jeff Porcaro - I ended up in a rock band in the UK when I was 18 and we were getting traction with record companies and they got us tickets to see Toto in Manchester and then Jeff passed away. I was gutted. However, we went and Simon Phillips I have to say, was just unreal- it was the same concert they did when recording the Absolutely Live album - it was very emotional and raw - but my god they smashed it -
Find me a band today in "pop" music that can play like this. I know there are amazing bands, and players that you never hear, but these boys were right in front of us most of our lives.
There are a whole bunch of under-rated Toto's songs if we look and think about live performing of specified songs....listen this, please th-cam.com/video/ReUboHhhHU8/w-d-xo.html
Sklar has said that he was pumped to play with these guys, but it was bitter-sweet because he was, in effect, stepping into Mike Porcaro's shoes. That awesome bassline is Mike's creation. Also, when you realize that the only original members of Toto on stage are Kimball and Lukather, it says something about the group that lasts this long, and plays with substitutes, but sounds like nothing has changed in years.
Was really lucky to see them live about 5 years ago. I remember they opened the concert with "Only the Children". I got goose bumps on top of goose bumps. The audience was so receptive that the band just fed off the energy. They are amazing.
This band. THIS FREAKING AMAZING GROUP IS SO UNDERRATED AND UNDERAPPRECIATED MAN ❤️❤️ I seriously rate them above the great Led Zep or Pink Floyd. Much love to them 🔥❤️
you know why toto hat become so big it is only because of the Strong voice and vocal from Bobby kimball and nobody will ever sing like him love from Mik Roy from Denmark
What a musician ! These guys are fantastic. I do remember this great moment in 2007 ! Thank you all men, but too hard to wait European Tour in 2015 !!!
An immensely talented and underrated band! This song rocks & Leland nails the infectious bass line on this track. Bobby's vocals are powerful - especially with his infamous ending. Tony's and Greg's voice blend well here. And Luke is awesome as always!
When Simon's playing during the final riff (7:50) I thought the drumstick would fly out of his left hand XD Nevertheless, phenomenal performance. Bobby's chorus just makes it better than the studio version, I don't mind the autotune.
Sumair Bawa it’s crazy how much they fixed it for the CD release though if you listen to the live recording without after editing th-cam.com/video/649VM3sy7ek/w-d-xo.html Good thing for Bobby they did it though. Love him and his voice but you could very much hear his age and the consequences of his Cocaine addiction in the 80s in 2007
@@Baggervr Steve Lukather closed the operation because there was not original members there anymore after Mike P got ill plus Bobby could not sing. It's in his book.
I don't know - I actually preferred the live version of "Gift With a Golden Gun" (coincidentally that live album was probably recorded with you in attendance!)
Ja, stimmt genau, Simon wird nie oder selten erwähnt, wie famos, leidenschaftlich und genial er die Sticks wirbeln lässt, er hat neben den Basisdrums jene Elemente, die sonst der ebenfalls famose Lenny Castro spielte, mitgenommen. Er prägte Toto enorm, wie früher Jeff. Bravo und vielen Dank, Simon,
Stop with the auto tune comments! Enjoy it. If you listen to the studio recording, they used it as an effect on the verses. The rest of the show is tuned back just to correct pitch at times. If you dig enough you can find live recordings without it and they sound great
Great performance. Top quality effort from all the musicians. Toto is an amazing band no matter the various incarnations. I think "Drag Him To The Roof" is one of my favorite tracks on the Tambu album. On a side note....it is a travesty that Toto is NOT in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Toto IS Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame ;) :D Cheers amigo
Steve Lukather saying "No, no, not yet!" to Greg Phillinganes going the crescendo too fast reminds me of Paul McCartney saying the same thing to George Harrison bending down too fast in the movie "Let It Be".

Agree, Simon Phillips is my all time favorite drummer. The drumming of this whole concert is outstanding and thought-out!
Such precision in his drumming, eh bro?!
Alessandro Ferrarini z
Simon's drumming doesn't need commenting, it speaks for itself. If you have problems with his drumming, you are either deaf, dumb or jealous.
@@universalmeditation8631 , I agree but Simon is just more than an engineer. He is a world class producer too!
Simon Phillips is the best drummer I have ever heard.
Taking nothing away from Joseph Williams but Bobby Kimball was the voice of Toto and one of my all time favorite vocalist.
I agree Bobby was the best, so soulful and powerful, he was ToTo
yep
I think Simon was absolutely fantastic. He’s really a great drummer. He’s not replacing anyone. He’s bringing his own special sauce to the table. He’s really a great fit with everyone here. They are a cohesive team.
Maybe not the most "authentic Toto" lineup, but still a group of world-class musicians layin' it down like very few can. Amazing.
Well, it's the most talented lineup for sure.....imo
Yeah well if you're talking about an authentic toto lineup, i assume we all know THAT'S not possible ehh? Glad we have what we have. Right?
One of the greatest live bands.Hands down.
Yup!
I've seen Zeppelin, Purple, Queen, Santana, Tull, but never TOTO. Seems to me like they would have been number 1, just from watching this live performance. Maestros and Virtuosos - 6 of them right there in front of you. Unique........ the songs are superb too
Yes, virtuosos all!
Totally agree
Few bands can even come close to Toto live. Possibly the best collection of music artists ever recorded
I think this was one of the best line-ups that they had.
Steve is soo good , unbelieveble!!
The Parcaro brothers, drums, bass, keys and Bobby on vocals was the best, these guys were 2nd best.
Bobby Kimball - lead and backing vocals
Steve Lukather - guitars, backing vocals,
Greg Phillinganes - keyboards, backing vocals,
Simon Phillips - drums, percussion
Tony Spinner - guitars, backing vocals,
Leland Sklar - bass
Greg and Tony sang unison lead vocals in the verses and the B-section.

Simon and Father Time together are worth a listen no matter who they're playing for.
Damn these guys sound good. This is what can happen when musicians of this caliber make it work. Thanks fellaz.
Find me a band today in "pop" music that can play like this. I know there are amazing bands, and players that you never hear, but these boys were right in front of us most of our lives.
Leland Sklar is one of my favorite bassists ever! His tone is wicked here!
❤
And I believe he was a last-minute stand-in for Mike Porcaro, who had hurt his hand. Legendary talent!
Yet another underrated song by Toto
Under-rated by the band too, they never do this one (I guess I should say rarely).
There are a whole bunch of under-rated Toto's songs if we look and think about live performing of specified songs....listen this, please th-cam.com/video/ReUboHhhHU8/w-d-xo.html
Tambu is a really great album
I'm so thankful this concert was recorded because ya'll were on white hot FIRE !!!
yay...tony spinner from Jonesboro, AR. great job touring with Toto.
Trony Spinner? Bello e bravo!

The drumming on this is just so beautifull and intricate
Leland Sklar amazing bass licks !
Simon is unbelievable, still the best drummer i've ever known
the best live band ever, they really can play in live situation
Was really lucky to see them live about 5 years ago. I remember they opened the concert with "Only the Children". I got goose bumps on top of goose bumps. The audience was so receptive that the band just fed off the energy. They are amazing.
Bobby Kimball was ToTo, great powerful soulful singer,my favorite.
my favorite band of all times..
mee to
This band. THIS FREAKING AMAZING GROUP IS SO UNDERRATED AND UNDERAPPRECIATED MAN ❤️❤️ I seriously rate them above the great Led Zep or Pink Floyd. Much love to them 🔥❤️
They’re truly masters
seen them several times but Bobby, Tony and Simon nailed it...... and God on bass!!!! Thank you
Kimball is unbelievable in this. Brilliant voice.
Bobby rocks and sings perfectly on this song 🔥🔥🔥
Yes I do, Simon Phillips was a true asset to the band when he joined them. He is one of the best drummers I have seen (as well as Jeff).
Amazing Bass riff by Leland ! It just growls !
My number 1 favorite Toto concert.
I have this DVD... Really a Masterpiece. I have Live in Poland also and 40 trips around the sun. Stunning dvd
Without a doubt bar none these guys are some of the most outstanding players I have ever seen.
you know why toto hat
become so big
it is only because of the Strong voice and vocal from Bobby kimball and nobody will ever sing like him love from Mik Roy from Denmark
Just when i think I've heard the complete depth of this band, I come across this.
What a bass, and player itself.
What a musician ! These guys are fantastic. I do remember this great moment in 2007 ! Thank you all men, but too hard to wait European Tour in 2015 !!!
Just saw Toto 2018 - Ceasars Casino Windsor ON. best show in years!!!! Lukather is guitar God! Toto totally rocks!!!!
Fantastic. First pick.
coz a lot of people don't know what good music is. This one of their best songs post Jeff.
Simon Phillips is my favorite drummer, growing up with one, he's a Beast for sure , love his on band,
I have no words. This is the most catchy music i have ever heard. Bobbys voice is so energic and joyfull! So much warmth in this bandsound!!
Randal Love I like Bobby and Joe but Bobby is done his voice is super strained listen to him perform Africa
An immensely talented and underrated band! This song rocks & Leland nails the infectious bass line on this track. Bobby's vocals are powerful - especially with his infamous ending. Tony's and Greg's voice blend well here. And Luke is awesome as always!
Right on comments🎶
Huge fan here, however bobbys vocals aren’t powerfull at all. Just autotune 😔
@@wouterwiersema9491He was having trouble by this point so they tuned him so he'd be able to get away with it.
Toto live brilliance - an all time classic live album from one the best bands in our life time
Esta banda es y lo será eterna, por su buen hacer y saber hacer música en toda la extensión de la palabra música!!!!!!!
Simon Philips in the Master Zone ! Just incredible !!!
That song fukin rocks !
Simon is an unbelivable drummer ! That right there is the Best of the Best ! 👍👍👍❤️

Capolavoro di livello mondiale😂
Amazing band...🥰😍
いつ観ても、すばらしい動画ありがとうございます。
Best song of Toto
Best lineup!
Simplemente magnífico!!!

I mind the damn autotune because his lead vocals was on sync track all 2008 before the band broke up because he could not sing his parts.
@@peevee605 the band broke up because their original band members left so they had no guide
@@Baggervr Steve Lukather closed the operation because there was not original members there anymore after Mike P got ill plus Bobby could not sing. It's in his book.
La mejor banda de rock sinfónico sin ninguna duda TOTO
This is an amazing performance oh my gosh tight
Heard them in Amsterdam few years ago. Like you put on a CD, absolutely amazing performance.
I don't know - I actually preferred the live version of "Gift With a Golden Gun" (coincidentally that live album was probably recorded with you in attendance!)
Creme de la crème on every position.....The Best!
Leland Sklar - what a Bass player!
Ja, stimmt genau, Simon wird nie oder selten erwähnt, wie famos, leidenschaftlich und genial er die Sticks wirbeln lässt, er hat neben den Basisdrums jene Elemente, die sonst der ebenfalls famose Lenny Castro spielte, mitgenommen. Er prägte Toto enorm, wie früher Jeff. Bravo und vielen Dank, Simon,
Outstanding live music!
Fantastic. Without plastic. 😊.
This is music right here, I m enjoying this thoroughly
❤❤❤ I feel being blessed
JEEBUS! Bravo Paris in 2007!!!! BRAVO TOTO!!!!!!!!
bobbys scream in the end
Stop with the auto tune comments! Enjoy it. If you listen to the studio recording, they used it as an effect on the verses. The rest of the show is tuned back just to correct pitch at times. If you dig enough you can find live recordings without it and they sound great
alone night tored into a thousand stars.
Piano guitar serenity
Absolutely incredible!
Not too shabby
Das sind die Lieder, die niemand besser als Kimball singen konnte
Such a perfect riff!
Beautiful song, great, awesome!!
Lee Sklar absolutely killing it.❤
"DRAG HIM TO THE ROOF": No one has ever replicated this song as Kimball sang it!
Simon!!! Getting it DONE!!!
Great Song!
The Best!!!!!
Great performance. Top quality effort from all the musicians. Toto is an amazing band no matter the various incarnations. I think "Drag Him To The Roof" is one of my favorite tracks on the Tambu album. On a side note....it is a travesty that Toto is NOT in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Toto IS Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame ;)
:D
Cheers amigo

..... and one of their greatest songs.....
Amazing!!!!!
Una band unica...inimitabile Ttoto ...forever

6:45 - How about those 3 gorgeous stabs from Simon?
Bobby. Amazing. 8:15

Bali kagaling nung drummer. Tiga Ermita.
Simon Phillips is a Beast nuff said.
Toto never sounded better!!
Merci du partage, cette chanson est excellentissime!!!
Enjoy.
Du rêve ,j adore depuis très très longtemps 😍
Leland had all of 2 weeks to prepare for this concert.... amazing.
Actually I had 5 days…
Simon Phillips..........STUPID AMAZING!!!!! Whole band.....just as stupid. True Professional Musicians. Bout all you can say bout these guys.
Steve Lukather saying "No, no, not yet!" to Greg Phillinganes going the crescendo too fast reminds me of Paul McCartney saying the same thing to George Harrison bending down too fast in the movie "Let It Be".
I agree...you have to wonder if Bobby would have been with the band when they recorded this, he probably would have sang the parts.
