August 5 1992 the world lost THE greatest drummer ever-today it’s been 31 years since the master JP left us to be in heaven with his brother Mike and father Joe God bless the Porcaro family-and Luke and Paich and Hungate and Kimball and Steve Porcaro the original lineup of LA’s greatest band
Yes it was one of the darkest days of Toto,for me Jeff Porcaro still is the best drummer in the world.Drumming is not about speed and learning notes its all about groove and Jeff Porcaro is da n1 groove Meister!!!!!
@@gremlinjr2 yeah, this drum-part might look quite straightforward on the surface, but keeping up this shuffle (watch the Hi-hat!) and keeping up this breakneck tempo is exremely hard to do
@@spasevrp Donald Fagen when recording Gold teeth two - told Jeff to go and listen o some jazz as he wasn't happy with it. JP came back the next day and smashed it.
No Auto Tune, just raw talent, in the studio! Priceless video. Wish it was higher def and there were more like this out there to show these kids today what real artists are.
Kids today don’t wanna hear this. That got their own style they like Are musicians as talented today? Some of them yeah but I think its cool that technology has made recording and releasing music more acceptable for young people. Some of them do suck pretty bad but some of them are very creative and have came up with signature sounds that didn’t exist before them. It doesn’t have to be a competition
Love the ending when Jeff beats the living crap out of the drums, throws the sticks behind him with a top THAT you mother attitude then sticks his arms in the air. Man... Jeff Porcaro was the best. I wonder, and I am sure this is a lot, how many artists that he worked with stepped back and just WATCHED him play thinking, how I got THIS genius for MY session I will never know. Whatever he was paid for doing what he so obviously loved, obviously wasn't enough money for this genius. Of all the artists/musicians who have come and gone, Jeff Porcaro will always be in my top 5 people, if not top 3, of who I miss the most.
Scale for session players back then was 165 per 3 hour session and he was double scale. So you could have him for 330 bucks. He could easily lay down 3 tracks in that time (or more) so looking at about 100+ bucks per song. Not a bad deal even at today’s prices adjusted for inflation. I’d pay it in a heart beat.
It's impossible to lose with Toto. Bobby KImball's genius diminished in later years, but it shines on the first four albums. I feel that Toto are both the most talented and the most overlooked band. Jeff Porcaro was is and always will be the best drummer ever. Nobody will ever top him and it's a shame he's gone.
Same with keyboardist Steve Porcaro, who is now the only one of the three Porcaro brothers left after the middle of the three, bassist Mike, died in March 2015 of complications from Lou Gehrig's disease, which severely made him lose his nimbleness on the bass. However, Steve hadn't performed regularly with Toto since the group's most recent reunion in 2020.
most overlooked and disrespected by the "wonderful" Rolling Stone Magazine. this is the No. 1 reason why I give a shit about that magazine. there are countless more reasons, but this is the No.1
Ah, Jeff. Time like an atomic clock. Groove. Feel. Intensity. Not only an all-time session great, but a great live player. And a great in-your-face emphasis by tossing the sticks at the coda. Si-Phi is a great player, but there is only one true master who owns the Toto seat. RIP. You are missed.
andrew haines Well I think Simon Phillips played his part with immense respect to Jeff but he's a legend and one of the greatest drummers currently by his own merits
Agree. I also think Keith Carlock is one of the greatest drummers alive, but as phenomenal as he's been with Steely Dan every time I've seen him, he just did not (or could not) play aggressively enough for the Toto rockers when he toured with them.
you don't even have to turn it up very loud to notice the lyrics he sings! though I do. but my mother had an old cassette of IV in 1985(she recorded herself from the radio) and even as muddy as it was I could hear Kimball's moody "Waiting for your Love' got my attention real quick that Toto is FAR more than "Africa".
Totally agree, posibbly my favorite album by them. It was not well received (such a shame), so much so that the band was afraid Columbia would drop them. Then came Toto IV and the rest is history
@@manuelroyo4539 I love the Turn Back album. But, I think the mix of the album is one of reasons it didn’t do so well. It’s very low in volume, and a little muddy, and all the other instruments are in the back and the drums and vocals are up front. But, it’s one of my favorites.
I personally don't think you can measure different bands by their success because you could do it differently and the time difference between the singers and bands cannot be compared. Although if you did want to compare Toto in terms of popularity by records sold it is 40 million, but Elvis has sold 250+ million. I do not think there is any difference in talent between them because they are all geniuses in their own way, but obviously, Elvis hit a nerve with the public.
@Scott Murphy I think those who know Toto and his contributions to rock and music in general see this great band as very underrated because for many they should be on the same "pedestal" as The Beatles, Queen, Led Zeppelin, etc. for their quality and versatility (I read that normally their sessions were recorded in one go or after very few takes). Some see them as another group from the 80's, when they are much more than that, besides the fact that the critics shredded them and were not as salesmen as others groups (collectively, of course). I don't know how they see them in the United States in general, but from what I've read, they should have been better received and much more appreciated. I don't know if I'm wrong about that... By the way, why some many the Toto songs with women's names on them? Just curiosity :P
Jeff Porcaro...hell of a drummer and one of my biggest influences. Too bad he left too soon... Everytime I see this old Toto videos I got mixed emotions...this was the best Toto´s line up ever...this is the music for the music! This is great musicianship and brotherhood all in one...
Toto are more than "3 Hits" Listen to their entire catalogue, They have a vast one filled of incredible music They can play anything and kick ass while they do it. I am not deaf, I just have good taste in music ;) Ps. The singer's name is bobby kimball
Esta canción la escucho siempre que estoy deprimido y se la he recomendado a muchos amigos le digo mirá el video y si no te emocionas no tienes sangre en las venas, es un espectáculo, la comunión que hay entre los músicos es una maravilla!! Y Jeff literalmente deja la vida en este tema, no creo que la pueda tocar dos veces en una noche!! Increíble Gracias por la música!!
This song and "Angel Don't Cry"(video) are my all-time favorite Toto songs. The drumming here is absolutely incredible. This is some of the greatest song writing that has ever been done. What a masterpiece of music. The vocalist in "Angel Don't Cry" is one of the greatest that Toto has ever had. But, all their vocalists are some of the most talented of any of the great rock and roll bands.
People remember All of the original members of Toto were studio musicians , then they got together to form TOTO ,which is why they are so great. They had it all ,talent, talent , talent and more talent.
Not only were they studio musicians. They were on almost every song on the radio back in the 70s and 80s individually or collectively whether it was R &B or pop rock each of them were there. If you heard that song "She's a beauty " by the TUBES . Steve Lukather wrote/cowrote that song 🎵. The lead singer is FEE WAYBILL but the chorus of that song ALL the vocals in the chorus of that song is BOBBY KIMBALL.
Such a great Toto cut.... this should have been a bigger hit than Africa if radio had of supported playing more than 2 or 3 songs out of their vast discography.
I seem to remember from one of his 'online clinics' Jeff Pocaro said he wasn't very good at these fast 'shuffles'. What !!!! I bet most drummers in the World wish they were as bad as him then. RIP a maestro.
Don’t forget David Hungate bass the dude is a legend was there ever a band this talented so young I mean these guys are like 27 or 28 at least Lukather and JP are but what a talented band LEGENDS nobody tops them in terms of talent
@@jaycareaga9929 This song was on Turn Back from 1981 so I believe Jeff was 27 or 28 the date here does say 1979 but this album did not come out in 1979 it came in 1981
3:22 fingers on fire. These guys aren't musicians they're brain surgeons. Proof is in the fact this is basically live recorded in the studio and there's not one mistake. Legendary band and they are finally getting the respect they deserve now that Africa is back in the main stream and I'm glad they are. Bravo Toto, til death we listen
Hydra & Goodbye Eleanor the two songs that define my early teenage years. At 53 I still get goosebumps listening to them. Timeless classics that never get old.
Bobby is a great vocalist . I'm Billy Lovelace From Orange TX. I Live in Houston TX now My Uncle Terry was in a band with Bobby before Toto . Hi Bobby .
I've been getting our merch together CDs shirts , hats etc... we are looking to get on as a support act for who ever let us on the bill we released our first Album last Dec12th and we haven't played a single show to support the Album thanks to COVID-19
Those TOMS scream! Classic Jeff open hat hits...never strays away from pocket...that was his magic..note how he hits the toms...dynamics over just laying into singles...he keeps the build from the snare intro to the toms.
Outstanding musicians displaying their talents in one song: soaring vocals, a bit of prog, heavy metal. The problem was Columbia didn’t know how to market them because their sound was very diverse, but fairly heavy. So the record company told them to create something for top 40 radio or else. Enter Toto IV.
Fantastic song by a fantastic band. I just LOVE the ending when Jeff beats the crap out of his drums and cymbals, throws his drumsticks, and stumbles away.... like saying: "I´m f**king DONE now!" :-) Hilarious!!! What a great drummer he was!
One of the greatest bands of all times! 🤟When Lukathers finally let's rip you can see how he affects the whole band driving their energies into the music with even more joy and passion. My youth was magical because of bands like Toto, Foreigner, Queen, The Who, Genesis, UFO, etc, etc, I know that even more so now looking at Spotify. This truly was the time for great music played be genius musician. Amen.
My grandmother's name is Eleanor. Close enough. Her favorite chapter in the Bible is Psalms Ch: 150. She learned piano on her own getting through tough times. This really reminds me of her when I hear the cymbals: Praise him upon loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals...
Jeff absolutely killing it! What a phenomenal drummer! Watched it 4 times before realising those backup singers David, Bobby and Steve 😂 I can't believe how damn talented each musician was - David, Steve, David H, Steve P but also soooo good to see the video focusing on Jeff's fills!
Collectively, the most talented band ever
what about the Beatles ?

つたない英語で言って彼はYES YES🎉と喜んで
私が終電で帰ると言ってエレベーターにいくと
来てくれてまた会おうと見送ってくれました。。
感謝しかありません😢
また会うことは出来ませんでしたが…。
一生の想い出
彼のプレイは勿論…だからジェフポーカロなんだと。人間性は素晴らしい👍と
一生伝えていきます❤🎉😊スタープレイヤーとしては勿論一流、普通の素晴らしい人間であった。かれの事は忘れません。
またいつかあちらで逢えたら嬉しいですね❤
貴方なら絶対会えると思います。貴方は直に出会えたのだから。🎉

Hello how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here
most noteable guys on this track were Bobby Kimball's razor sharp voice and Jeff Porcaro's kickem ass drums!
You see that gold? That's how bright and valuable this song is.
His drumming is so natural , fantastic. Rest In Peace.
Organic.
All Toto albums are great, but there is one above them all TURN BACK!
One of the greatest bands of all times! 🤟When Lukathers finally let's rip you can see how he affects the whole band driving their energies into the music with even more joy and passion. My youth was magical because of bands like Toto, Foreigner, Queen, The Who, Genesis, UFO, etc, etc, I know that even more so now looking at Spotify. This truly was the time for great music played be genius musician. Amen.
Ver tocar a Jeff Porcaro en este video es orgasmico, te deja sin aliento, un verdadero genio detrás de la batería!😮💨❤
Absolutely agree! Love the song, but the sticks in the air walk-off is epic!
That is when there were real musicians in real bands playing really great music. Those days are gone.
The shuffle tempo from Porcaro is a miracle ..
Bernard Purdie and John Bonham must have applauded this ..
Toto is a genius band after all..
My grandmother's name is Eleanor. Close enough. Her favorite chapter in the Bible is Psalms Ch: 150. She learned piano on her own getting through tough times. This really reminds me of her when I hear the cymbals: Praise him upon loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals...
Thanks for this rare post !!! Amazing live cession !!! Jeff the master of drums forever.
This is my best viewing of Jeff at his element. Beating those drums like his life depended on it.
Such a pleasing to see Mr. Porcaro's drum playing. One of the best
Jeff absolutely killing it! What a phenomenal drummer!
Watched it 4 times before realising those backup singers David, Bobby and Steve 😂
I can't believe how damn talented each musician was - David, Steve, David H, Steve P but also soooo good to see the video focusing on Jeff's fills!
I doubt any band today could pull one off this tight
Wow!!! What a performance!!!!! 👍
This here is one of best tracks on youtube. :)
I couldn't possibly agree more!
