Bobby Kimball now you aren't the only one who was fired and came back to this facinating group:Joseph Williams is BACK and for this was fantastic because he was/is my favourite's Toto singer.
I remember when Greg and I went to the same YMCA summer camp in the 60's in Detroit. Most of us were shooting pool or playing other games and Greg was practicing on the old upright piano. He played "Flight of the Bumblebee" and we all stopped to listen.
GOSH!!! TOTO IS UNDENIABLELY. THE MOST MUSICAL MAGICAL MAGNIFICENT BAND I HAVE SEEN..NO. I HAVEN'T BEEN TO ONE IF THEIR CONCERT. TO MY MISFORTUNE. EACH MEMBER OF TOTO IS. AN AWESOMELY TALENTED ENTITY ALONE AND WHEN THEY COME TOGETHER ONSTAGE. THE FORCE IGNITES. I HAVEN'T IN ALL MY 63 YEARS EXPERIENCED A BAND. THAT HAVE REAL MUSIC ROOTS KNOWLEDGE AND EDUCATION ANS MONSTER CHOPS..THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE YOU TUBE ENTRY VIDEOS. AS I WILL OFTEN REVISIT THIS. FOR AN ABSORPTION OF KNOWLEDGE THAT'S DISPLAYED AND GIVEN. THANKS
When I was in high school some of my influences were Simon Phillips, Greg Phillinganes and Lee Sklar. Then to find out that they were all on the same stage in Toto, blew my mind. Needless to say I had to but this DVD. Incredible!
My friend who was a local band member said if I can play Toto´s Songs I will be a great rock band member. Drummers, keyboards, guitars, bass, and songs arrangements here are genius.
Greg played for Michael Jackons Bad World Tour and Dangerous World Tour. An incredible task to handle Michaels music live in jam packed stadiums around the world.
Mike couldnt be on the tour so he rang up the North Pole and called Santa Claus...Santa is one wickid bad ass bass player though,for those who never know!
I was wondering why this dude was playing instead of David on this tour. Its so awesome to know that he was personally asked by David to play for him. He has so much respect for the original content and I think he's great
Man you are the best,I dont know if many people can do those complex lines between those different keyboards and perfectly in time,You are a Genius.I am a Pro musician and proud of you.
It's kind of funny to hear Bobby talk about putting his solo band together because he asked me to be ins solo band in the late 90s so I'm wondering if I would have been with Bobby, Simon and who knows who else!!
Not only a fantastic keyboard player but also a great singer and arranger. His work with Herbie Hancock is stunning, I mean who has the chops to correct Herbie? check out the Possibilities album to see what I mean.
To what is Lee Sklar referring at 4:49 when he discusses his inolvement with the Toto Network as a correspondent and says he is now occupying the space he had once been commenting on?
The Toto Network was a forum ish website back in 2006-2008 where you could chat and post etc and the band members would often post updates, vlogs and answer questions. Besides the band members, they had other musicians, most notably Lee Sklar who also would post stuff, and this was before he took over for Mike. When he eventually did take over for him in early 2007, he continued the corresponding with the fans. It was quite cool ✌️ The website came to a close in 2008, mainly because the band called it quits then, and also it became redundant with the emergence of social media.
Ich liebe gerade diese Zusammensetzung, obwohl der Sänger von "Fahrenheit" auch besonders war!!! Hey Steve, nimm beide und diese Besetzung...Das wird unglaublich!!! Also einzigartig.! Und dann noch der blonde Sänger, der auch Gitarre spielt, ich würde überall auf der Welt eine Karte kaufen!!!!!!!!!! Liebe Grüße!!
I wouldn't classify your basic power trio as a "Bash & Crash" type band but my only question about this interview is WHO IS THE 1st GUY. long hair and sings & plays guitar, no name given.for those of us are old-timers & not savvy with all the new shit, ie lineups et al. No names throughout actually
Why can't more engineers get this bass drum sound recored, with this kind of dynamic range that's like being there, it almost never happens. Toto is made up of killer studio musicians that tend to have better sound recordings but I just don't understand why others can't ask them what they are doing to get that range and then copy it. Unless you have this streaming through a nice system, you probably don't know what the heck I'm talking about but I can't tell you, I've never heard drums sound so nice before on any other recording and YT streaming, so all you engineers out there, copy what these guys are doing please. Also, if I could just get this band jamming with this SQ, I would pay for it, unfortunately when the studios produce their CD's, it's so compressed, it's not worth paying for. This sound is where it's at and the reason I said these guys "jamming" instead of a CD is because the CD's are compressed and too perfect, the timing is always perfect because it's played to a click track to remove the soul and human touch from it, I won't pay money for click track music, give me top players jamming any day over that over produced shit. Prince has some after party CD's that are some much better to listen to than the songs on CD's, I can't leave the car until the songs are over with Prince jamming that funky rock he lets lose when live and no click track to remove the soul and funk.
The main secret to that is not so much the drum itself, but Simon himself. He doesn't bury the beater and his tuning is not the dead flop many people tune bass drums to, which would be horrible on the 24" ones he uses.
Ah Luke, we dig Earnie Ball guitars but are you contractually obligated NEVER to talk about your history of guitars? Guaranteed you've got Strats, Teles,, LP's. Gretch guitars you still love and use.
@@micknordstrom2591 No, but your obvious lack of grasp on the English language definitely stings a bit. Let me dumb it down for you. It's an ignorant thing to just say he sounds drunk. That's his speaking tone. Think before you speak, Mick
I love Joseph Williams! He is the best singer of Toto The best Toto album is The Seventh One with their best song ever Stop Loving You I saw Toto last year 2019 in Sweden and it was great with Lenny Castro on percussion and Steve Porcaro on keyboards I also saw Toto live on their Tambu tour 1996 But i thought their latest tour with Joseph Williams on vocals was much better I myself as a drummer even liked Shannon Forrest He both sounded and looked like Jeff Porcaro Never enough Toto Jeff and Mike Porcaro R.I.P.
Joseph was the best singer Toto had, imo. Bobby was great, but, after he was fired, he totally lost his voice. He needed Autotune to help him, during the last couple of tours he was on. Fergie was great as well. But, you can’t really compare the two because they have totally different singing styles.

Greg is such an overlooked legend! Just look at which records he played on! He’s pretty much on every good song of the last 50 years🤯
Greg Phillinganes, absolutely a keyboard beast!
Chuck Gentry amen!
And singer... and MD... he's just off the scale.
@08:08 That look lol. yeah he knows he's good
He's awesome beyond belief.
Man, Greg doesn't only play with the stars, he is the star!
That keyboard rig was insane ...lol. This guy is one man orchestra
Greg,The keyboard player, is an absolute genius!!!!
grt to watch a clever muso in action...amazing
He's on keyboard with David Gilmour's Live at Pompeii recorded back in 2017 . .
@@Oztralianmade I think it was in 2016, but he was awesome at the wonderful song time
He and the drummer made the concert literally. They never sounded that good live again
Yes he is!!
Best Toto line up by far. My opinion. All stellar musicians and vocalists.
Correct!
I remember when Greg and I went to the same YMCA summer camp in the 60's in Detroit. Most of us were shooting pool or playing other games and Greg was practicing on the old upright piano. He played "Flight of the Bumblebee" and we all stopped to listen.
I understand more why David and TOTO welcomed him with full confidence in him. Fantastic!

Greg Phillnganes is an excellent keyboardist and funnyman. He always had Luke in stitches.
And this is why Toto is my all time favorite band.
I have really enjoyed all of the musicians that Luke has assembled over the years
Soft-spoken Englishmen conquered the world for a few centuries. Thankfully, this one focussed on conquering an enormous drum kit 😁
Simon Phillips is a beast.. for an incredibly softly spoken Englishman! 🤣
Some SERIOUS brain-power in that band, for sure. But watching Greg break down "Africa" brought a big smile to my face.
When I was in high school some of my influences were Simon Phillips, Greg Phillinganes and Lee Sklar. Then to find out that they were all on the same stage in Toto, blew my mind. Needless to say I had to but this DVD. Incredible!
It was an awesome gig. A real privilege to be there.
The best musicians in the world play with Toto, that´s for a fact!
Roupa Nova tbm

I loved this line up
Super group.

Brilliant keyboard player...his sister is very talented too..Regina Phillange
Every detail is perfect here !!! great band !!!
Greg Phillinganes is a total killer!
Roger Lee Meyzindi amazing
This guy has played with so many Legendary Performers. I saw him onstage with Michael Jackson on the Romania tour. He is Truly Special....
OMG just love th keyboard demo..what a band, what a bunch of great people and how incredibly inspiring. Big big love to Toto !
If anyone ask me who is the best band of all time i say immediately TOTO , they are seriously the best on the planet.
Greg played for Michael Jackons Bad World Tour and Dangerous World Tour. An incredible task to handle Michaels music live in jam packed stadiums around the world.
This is great, thank you for sharing. We shared it in the Toto community discord too.
Theres a toto discord?
Mike couldnt be on the tour so he rang up the North Pole and called Santa Claus...Santa is one wickid bad ass bass player though,for those who never know!
I was wondering why this dude was playing instead of David on this tour. Its so awesome to know that he was personally asked by David to play for him. He has so much respect for the original content and I think he's great
David was staying at home as his sister was seriously ill
Hes even greater as he didnt try immitate or try sounding like Paich but did it his own way and he still nailed it with the band .
Man you are the best,I dont know if many people can do those complex lines between those different keyboards and perfectly in time,You are a Genius.I am a Pro musician and proud of you.

Greg ( Mouse) Philliganes!!! A Beast!!
P0R SIEMPRE GENIOS!!!!!
GIGANTES...
Great!!!
13:50 - imagine this guy having two more arms.
He doesn’t even need them, he’s playing like he has them already!
Tony Spinner did an amazing job as did Leland Sklar.
Tony is a great musician but I'm not a massive fan of him in Toto
@@jjs9672 I never liked his voice. It’s was too whiny sounding for me.
I LOL'd @8:49 with the keyboard player looking over at us like "Yup, it's like that man"
Excellence.
13:37 ~ lovely
Bobby Kimball is the best!
Man on keys, earning his keep.
Gregg is just.. Amazing.. him alone playing like two keyboardists..
Greg. Michael's first choice and David was very pleased with him too I had the feeling.
It's kind of funny to hear Bobby talk about putting his solo band together because he asked me to be ins solo band in the late 90s so I'm wondering if I would have been with Bobby, Simon and who knows who else!!
Greg P.'s the man!
7.48 is where Greg Phillinganes showed his magic.
Gotta love Luke
Now the butt of every joke out there
What do you get when you throw in the best musicians alive into a group? TOTO
Ha - Luke has a "Jizz" button on his board :)

@@robinkulbay thanks
I don’t know man .. Toto just ain’t Toto without the Pocaro bros. and Paich. Yeah these guys here are monster players .. just ain’t the same though.
@Purple Floyd Are you guys crazy? Don"t care about good music; the best musicians and a real singer.
In his prime, Bobby Kimball was my favorite!
Remember that Simon is only part of Toto because Jeff sort of recommended him before he passed away.
The Voice : Bobby Kimball ¡¡¡¡¡¡
Who is that ?
Tony - Hanson Brothers ? 🤣🤣🤣
Humm bop bop
Steve Lukather: “You can’t drink all day if you don’t start in the morning.”

I LOVE GREG
@10:36 that's a man who's happy at his job!
I wonder why there are so many AKG414 all over the stage ? What effect were they looking for ?
I guess ambient mics for their in ear monitors.

They did an acoustic set with a medley of songs. Its on the live DVD.

Lee was a huge studio musician. But, they were both great players in Toto.
Bobby is Toto for me! I never liked Joseph!
Agreed man! Even Fergie Frederiksen was waaaay better than Joseph.
I love Joseph Williams!
He is the best singer of Toto
The best Toto album is The Seventh One with their best song ever Stop Loving You
I saw Toto last year 2019 in Sweden and it was great with Lenny Castro on percussion and Steve Porcaro on keyboards
I also saw Toto live on their Tambu tour 1996
But i thought their latest tour with Joseph Williams on vocals was much better
I myself as a drummer even liked Shannon Forrest
