- Toto - Live at Montreux 1991
Live at the Montreux Casino, Switzerland July 5th 1991.
By the time Toto was invited to play the famed Montreux Jazz Festival in 1991, their success had already been assured. Having established themselves in the ‘70s as an elite band of session players-turned-chart toppers, they were in the midst of a European tour when the call came. It was an appropriate fit. Not only were they able to spotlight their two most prominent hits of the time -- “Africa” and “Rosanna” -- but they were also allowed to express a more progressive posture that would come with their next album, 1992’s Kingdom of Desire. In short, the band were in peak prowess.
Sadly, this marked one of their final appearances with drummer Jeff Porcaro, who passed away the following year. But as Live at Montreux 1991 demonstrates, the core band - Pocaro, his brother Mike on bass and mainstays, singer/guitarist Steve Lukather and keyboard player keyboardist/vocalist David Paich were in prime form.

Lyrics:
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in twelve-thirty flight
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
"Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you"
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
"Hurry, boy, she's waiting there for you"
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had - เพลง

That bass playing is absolutely perfect. Some great uses of the 5th string too.
Mike is a pioneer of 5-string bass.
If he hadn't kept using, it wouldn't have spread as much as it is now.
R.i.P 🕊️ Jeff Porcaro & Mike Porcaro ✝️⭐
R.I.P
A huge sad loss 😢
That's Jeff on the drums here, isn't it?
@@thedude4672 sure
Mike in my heart. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 ( PARIS LE 22 Avril 2024)
Jeff Porcaro was simply one of the finest, most musical drummers I've ever heard -- just absolutely solid rhythm and great dynamics. I was heartbroken when he died. He added so much to the music of other great musicians.
True. Best drummer
May he rest in peace
Super Musik & Groove
i agree
True..beats from the greats made it his own with more colors in it
Mike Porcaro was one of the most underrated bassists ever! We miss you, man! 😪
to tell the truth...Toto is an underrated band
@@ibanezsoir Amen! Why they're not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a mystery to me. I don't know of another band that is more deserving of that honor, but the powers that be in the HOF are known for playing politics with who gets in and who doesn't. I just hope it happens while the remaining original Toto members are alive to attend the ceremony.
Comment ça sous estimé ? Par la profession ou des membres du groupe ? En tout cas du groupe, c etzitcelui qui était très discret et humble. Il est mort de maladie en 2015. Si vous pouvez m en dire plus dur lui. Merci infiniment. ( PARIS LE 22 Avril 2024)
Didn't have to look far for the first "underrated" comment here.
...and the drumer too...
Steve Lukather looks like about 7 different people across his career
and the poor guy never had a good hair day in his life
🤣🤣🤣👍🏻
HA, I wonder who hes gonna be in 2020
Every 7 years a dedicated guitarist who works very hard becomes so accomplished in the instrument that they achieve the highest rank of Steve Lukather and take the old one's place.
Lol
Jeff was one of a kind. I miss that dude.
Jeff’s fill at 3:45 is amazing!!!!
I disagree
Rest In Peace Jeff Porcaro, one of the best drummers in the history of music
You will be missed!!
And Mikey too xx
Thank you!
Simon Philips had some huge shoes to fill and fill them he did.
@@BassmanII could you imagine the nerves when he first started but he did good
@@BassmanII That he did, he was the best drummer for Toto after the legend, Jeff. The two biggest losses Toto ever had, in my opinion.
So sad that the camera crew virtually ignored Jeff Porcaro, one of the greatest rock drummers of all time.
No surprise. They usually focus most attention on singers' faces :(
They had no backline camera. Kind of an obvious oversight.
Yes !! I'm very sad for that details ....im a drummer too , it's very sad Jeff the most important drummer in THE world ....and the cámara ignore him ....
They didn’t know then what we do know, Jeff is one of the greatest drummers and a musical genius of all time
Seems like they did film him some but must be something wrong with the editors...
Some of the best musicians ever. Jeff Porcaro was a savage groove beast
Is it just me or is the audio quality off the charts for this live performance? What a stunning song, can never get enough off it!
It sure is: this is pretty much a tech demo for Sony having been recorded in HD video (1125 line HDVS) and HD audio (16 bit 96Khz PCM)
@@mel816 No! 16 bit and 48 Khz!
Jeff Porcaro = Often imitated, never duplicated.
Even though Jeff is gone his music lives for eternity. RIP to the 🐐
Those who say they do not like TOTO basically just because they NEVER saw them live. Even Eddie VanHalen said "Toto is the greatest band ever" & said "these guys are the best musicians on the planet"... now thats an honor....
because they are
@@deadshot4245 "because they are" what ?
@@Terk131 the greatest
Amen
When George Harrison flies in for your memorial service, you were pretty well special.
The Porcaro brothers. What else can you say? 2 absolutely legendary musicians and greatly missed
Mikey put a lot into it. He's sweating.
yeah very missed😔😔😔😪🥺😢😭
@Guns N’ Roses yeah. In fact I saw Toto on tour recently with Steve. An Equally talented musician.
Thats when there at there best simply amazing
Merci de leur rendre hommage. Destins tragiques pour ces 2 frères et on l oublie. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Greatest human ever is Jeff Porcaro. God I miss you, Brother.
One of my favorite bands. Excellent.
Rest in Peace Jeff and Mike
We miss you Jeff Porcaro and Mike Porcaro. R.I.P.✝️✝️✝️✝️
Merci pour eux. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Les frères peuvent jouer que part au paradis. ( PARIS LE 22 Avril 2024)
3:29 omg! That groove! That's my boy!! Rip.
JEFF PORCARO WAS A MASTER DRUMMER! A LOT OF PEOPLE DONT KNOW JUST HOW GOOD HE REALLY WAS......
Anyone who knows the name Jeff Porcaro knows how good he was.
can we appreciate for a second the back vocals of that lady when she sings in. high note Africa? gave me the chills
We’ll never see the like of Jeff Porcaro again. Absolute legend!
... sad but true!
Ni Mike disparu en 2015 hélas. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Wow the quality looks so modern. It doesn't looks like a 90s vid!
João Veludo he’s talking about just the video quality, not how the shots are set up. The shots are very late 80s/90s
Sony's HDVS

G. J. Barrera HD vhs was expensive as fuck and never really became a consumer product. Most video quality back then was poor.
@@TiTiTiTiT ok don't cry now
That FBass! uuufff in hands on my biggest influence ever. RIP Mike!
Wow, Jeff Porcaro, one in a million. Powerful and clear, the perfect drummer. 20/20. Thanx for your beats, Jeff.
He is perfect
nfl films
Jeff and Mike are both to musicians WHO Always seem to short when people discuss the goats of drum and Bass
Goosebumps! First time to see Jeff on africa playing live.
No, Jeff is unique. 1 in a million is like saying Jeff Porcaro is one of around 8000 people.
Jeff Porcaro's performance is godlike.
And will die exactly one year after. Huge lost.
His timing. His feel. His ability to blend into the song. Pure magic.
Indeed. He is a drum god. I rather hesitate to use the word god usually.
Jeff's smiles while he plays and sweat running off Mike's face as he plays just breaks my heart. A stage full of true musicians, thanks to whoever recorded this for posterity.
Mike Porcaro, y pray for you guy 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Yes
El himno sublime de semejante banda,olvidada??? Por siempre TOTO
Toto - a band of top notch sessionists having fun.
Rip Jeff n Mike
Wow this performance. So strange too because the quality of this video is impecable it's like it was filmed yesterday. So weird seeing the Porcaro brothers so young and lively and knowing they're not here with us anymore. Breaks my heart. Always loved this song
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFF PORCARO!
Listen to the Rosanna "Isolated Drums" track, mind blowing. Porcaro was a human drum machine. Simply the best.
Got to see that right now
Wait. That really doesn't make sense. Was he a human or a machine?
I recently started drumming again after a very long layoff. That Purdie Shuffle with the Bo Diddley kick drum beat is kicking my ass.
@@mc76 I watch this video about once a year... (and it's always amazing to see how simple he makes it look) th-cam.com/video/NMI81yIlT0Q/w-d-xo.html
@@mc76 agree totally. I can drum it out with my hands on the countertop, but I just can't get it right on the snare/hats. Frustrating as all hell. It blows my mind how perfect it is in the isolated track.
4:18 that fill by Jeff... wow...
This image quality for a 31 year old video is INSANE , love to Jeff,Mike,Steve,David, the singers, love TOTO forever!
I was thinking it had to be more recent but sometimes things stand beyond their years.
@@mikkelbreiler8916 It's an early HDTV test.
I literally had to look at clothing and hairstyles because I didn’t believe the year was correct.
@@mikkelbreiler8916 Jeff Porcaro died in 92 so it really couldn't be more recent.
Exactly man i thought it was shot 3-4 years back. Excellent video, piece of History.
These guys opened for us on European tour and were amazing .......Best Music & Rhythmic drums on planet! Honor to work with them!!!
How effortlessly everyone in this band just sings! Mindblowing. And of course, having Jeff laying down the foundation is the best we ever could see. ❤
Jeff and Mike Porcaro are truly missed Rest in peace
Merci pour eux. 😢😮😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Jeff and Mike: miss you guys!!
Merci pour eux. Infiniment MERCI. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 ( PARIS LE 22 AVRIL 2024)
David Paich never gets enough credit for writing this song and being the primary vocalist on it.
He does a great job but the missing piece can't be ignored.
JEFF PORCARO the king , Máster and legend.
BEAUTIFUL! ❤
This song never gets old!
The quality of this for 1991. Holy shit. Who came here to watch JP. Wow. Monster drummer.
Jeff Porcaro was quite simply one of the very finest technical drummers to ever play. He is sorely missed.
PLUS HANDSOME AND HANDSOME.
Indeed. My favorite stat about him is he was the drummer for the welcome back kotter theme of the 70's
Jeffrey Porcaro
N oubliez pas Mike aussi décédé tragoen 2015 hélas. Destins tragiques pour ces 2 frères 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢(PARIS LE 22 Avril 2024)

R.I.P Jeff Porcaro, such talented drummer with an ear for details.
His keyboard solo was amazing. Love seeing a band in their absolute prime
Jeffrey PORCARO, drums at its absolute peak (1954-1992) 🤘👊😌
Hey young people, this is what we called Music and super live performance 😎
Jeff had such a beautiful smile. RIP
Jeff is like butter on the drums....smooth as smooth gets
RIP jeff and mike❤❤
I see Jeff Porcaro on thumbnail, automatically smash play button 🙂🥁
minute 3:47,,most iconic drum fill in in the world,,one and only Jeff Porcaro
Will this Universe deliver this quality of music again ? 😢😢
No - if you were born in the 60s or 70s count yourself lucky, we saw the very best years of creative musical culture & it is never to be repeated.
How is it that nobody is talking about Jenny Douglas? Worldclass backing vocals!
Mike is really enjoying himself. Met him at Sheraton Gothenburg. What a kind man!
Oh pouvez me parler de Mike. Paraît il qu il était extrêmement humble, discret et gentil. Cela se voit sur son beau visage. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢( PARIS LE 22 Avril 2024)
Jeff Porcaro... The best
Great to see most of the comments, mentioning Jeff Porcaro.
Best drummer of his day.
This is the perfect video to day bid farewell to Mike Porcaro to; Looking great, with unbelievable groove and stage presence, sharing the stage with his absolute legend brother Jeff.
What a banger of a live performance
One of rare shows filmed in HD in early 90s.
2:59 the bass player looks so happy
Oui c'est Mike Porcaro décédé en 2015 tragiquement 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢(PARIS LE 22 Avril 2024)
Montreaux 1991
Maestro Jeff at his peak
Jeff Porcaro was an awesome drummer.. He always smiled, because he loved what he did! He is in the Top 100 Drummers for a reason. No they can Play together in heaven...
I still say, very stongly, that anyone who wants to play the drums, not as a soloist, but as an integral part of a band, listen to Jeff Porcaro. He set a gold standard. I've been playing for 35 years and still hope someday to come close to the standard he set.
Yup, no need to be a drum solo master, just be solid, tasteful, and in the pocket.
The conga player isn’t bad either!
@@chezchezchezchez Chris Trujillo.
Just impeccable!! Everything he put his sticks to rocked. All my life I listened to music he played, and didn’t know who he was. Total icon.
Amen. Agreed totally.
So lucky to have seen Jeff Porcaro very early in his career. My wife and I marveled at this 17 year-old kid drumming for Sonny & Cher at a March 19, 1972 concert in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Then two years later we recognized him tandem drumming alongside Jim Hodder at our first Steely Dan concert on April 21, 1974 at the U. of Toledo. He would contribute mightily to their 1975 album "Katy Lied" and later to Boz Scaggs' "Silk Degrees." Such a prodigy that he was drumming on TV's "Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour" while he was still in high school.
andyinoregon you are sooooooo blessed to have had this experience. Jeff is my fav
@@jimmorrison5604 I still remember Porcaro and Hodder drumming the rest of the band off the stage during Steely Dan's final encore that Sunday night in Toledo. He had just turned 20 less than three weeks before the concert.
Thanks for sharing! Love to hear that 👍👍
The quality is great for 91
Jeff and Mike....... 💕💕💕💕💕💕 No others like them.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. Mike, y pray for you guy 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Jeff porcaro is God!
The last 2 minutes where Fantastic
Jeff and Mike Porcaro are Legends
Thank you so much for everything
Xxx
Montreux jazz! Best festival in the world!
Top too bottom great band. I don't get tired of their music. Thanks for the music.
those killer triplets fills at the 3:47 mark... OMG!!! always touches my heart!
And his drums sounded incredible to boot.
Powerfully tasty
and then Paich singing a way different harmony!!
They have some very nice snap to them. Puts his body in to it.
@@MiguelMartinez-hz7yq that harmony was in the original studio record too but it was only noticeable in the 5.1 release of the Africa Single. Paich sang it many times live.
Im here for Jeff !!! 🙈
born in '91 fast forward to 2021 woah....
Kids, that's what music is all about = FEELING, GROOVE, TALENT. Jeff, Mike, Dave, Steve... These talented guys will remain untouchable forever.
J'ai eu la chance de rencontré Jeff porcaro , est avoir parlé avec lui avant un concert , en France dans le sud . août 1988 Toto i love you for ever💋👍
Avez vous rencontré son frère Mike pour qui j'ai une très grande tendresse ?? Magnifique groupe. Quel souvenir... ...😢😢😢😮😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😮😢😢😢😢
Truely is a perfect performance. Jeff’s drumming literally is second to none.
When the camera shoots everyone, I always look at Jeff Porcaro. The last performance of him. RIP Jeff🕊️
Met a beautiful Nigerian girl in 2000. Married her and now 22 years later she's still as beautiful as the first time I saw her and we have 4 beautiful light chocolate coloured children.
No pads, no sequences, no in-ears, no wireless and the band sounds amazing !! this is a really live performance !!!!
no air condition either
That Drumfill.. @03:44 🥰
David paich is absolutely dripping in his outfit!
Happy Birthday Jeff. One of my all time favs. May you RIP.
All captured beautifully on Sony 1125/60 HD cameras. Looks like it could have been recorded today
Lovin the pirate look for Jeff PorcaRRRRRo
2 Porcaro Bros killing
I know it was a good old day...
4:05 the girl singing "I Bless The Rains" in the background is so freakin' good ❤
The fill Jeff plays into the chorus at 3:46 fucking slaps. I swear I dreamt about it last night, he’s so good. I wish we could have seen what Toto would have done if he were still here. He played such an important role in this group.
If you look up some vids of Simon Phillips playing with Toto on this song, he had some pretty inventive fills that were tributes to Jeff
Total Bonham lick too. Jeff loved him.
Spicy....with authority. Yes. Just yes. 👌🤣✌️
Jeff and Mike Porcaro are angels
Pour l éternité
Moi j'ai vraiment un faible pour Mike. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😮
3:46 I’m ready to die, thank you Lord for the good life and the fill that made me complete..
03:48 Harmonização impressionante de David Paich!
