Thank You for all the talent,including the sister' s and their great background vocal's.
I'm going to pray for you 🙏 hunny I'm 44 almost 45 years old and I had suffered a major stroke last year I unfortunately had to resign from my job of 20 years I've lived in NYC my whole life
@marilynhull7675 I appreciate much about your view regarding Bozz Scaggs and the band members. I wish you a speedy recovery of all good health!!! Sorry about the late comment.
1977, I can’t believe I witnessed what I’m about to say. Boz Scaggs, Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, plus 2-3 other acts for an all day concert at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh!!
Silk Degrees was one of my Father's favorite albums. When it was released in the '70s, Dad let me listen to over and over...what a blessing. ... Fast forward to 2020 --- as he was passing, we played his favorite music which included Lido Shuffle ...his heart picked up a bit ---- he heard the song. ❤
Cool how they incorporated their process of rehearsal, getting gigs, traveling with their equipment, preparing for each show, then finally performing live, to this song, using video.
I have always LOVED this song! And I can't explain it, but I also LOVE the way Boz is having so much fun just hacking his way through it. He doesn't take himself too seriously, and this reminds me of jamming with my musician friends when we're just jamming for fun. This is a fun song, and it just fits.
You had to be able to _jam_ and write great songs. Musical talent was an absolute requirement. Now it's about media whores who need 25 producers to cut & paste some disposable simplicity for a quick buck
I'd be honored if some late 70s/early 80s fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of WHAT A FOOL BELIEVES by the Doobie Brothers, WE'RE ALL ALONE by Boz Scaggs, and JUST ONCE by Quincy Jones & James Ingram on my YT channel in tribute to the legends. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and peace.
Indeed unlike today when the artists need to have semi naked dancers on stage, or go semi naked themselves. It's less about music and more about the image!
@@danielhagan921 All of the studio players and the back up singers went out on the tour with Boz to support "Silk Degrees" and they were all triumphant! The act that people saw in concert and here, are all the same as on the record. A real testament to Boz to get that kind of loyalty from players and singers he had only known for a year.
@@charlie-obrien It goes with so much of what I've heard about Boz: easy-going, easy to work with and popular with all. Trying to recall the song and album, but the guys in The Eagles did backup singing for one of his recordings. He seems to be universally liked. I've been to a couple of his concerts. He's a true gentleman.
@@charlie-obrien, I’m pretty sure that’s not the case. I don’t see Paich or Hungate. They were replaced by the younger Porcaros here. I just checked the album track, and the guitarist on the track was not Les Dudek, who is playing here. Piano here is Jai Winding. There are no album credits for the piano.
Look how relaxed ppl where back then , no egos or ppl taking selfies. Ppl just making musical gold. Htf did we get so messed up by 2022. Love boz scaggs and this era in music....
DAVID PAICH wrote most of the lyrics I think (? Somebody halp??). No, seriously, Paich CO Wrote most of "Silk Degrees" with Boz. Maybe that's why it sounds that good.....Paich knew he was writing for his buddies to play!!!
@@eriklarson9137 Agreed Erik. I wonder if anyone can complain about the artists and the performance. They were into it and brought people like me along for the ride.
@@RaincloudmusicTFS6 Great insight about Paich writing for his buddies. You need no help. I read that producer Joe Wissert introduced Boz and Paich. Put them in a friend's house for a few days and Lowdown and Lido happened. But the whole album knocks me out still. Paich had amazing contributing connections beyond the band including Porcaro's father and his own dad. They became good friends. Paich once referred to himself as Saul Scaggs.
@@RaincloudmusicTFS6, Paich co-wrote the song with Boz, and he played on the album. Jeff Porcaro played on the album, too. Mike and Steve Porcaro replaced Davids Hungate and Paich on the tour. Paich has writing credits on more than half of the songs on this album (6 out of 10 songs).
Boz is still the best. I used to listen to him in the 70s, and all these years on I still get the same buzz out of his music. I wish he knew just how much his music is still loved.
I grew up in the 80s for most of my childhood, so I kind of missed this, but I heard Lido Shuffle playing at restaurants for years, and I finally thought "this sounds great" So I looked it up and I've listened to it for years now. A pretty unique talent.
I still tell people how I saw Boz Scaggs and his band (which would become Toto), Fleetwood Mac & The Eagles for $10 at Pittsburgh Three Rivers Stadium in 1978. You can't even park for $10 today.
Gregory C I can do you one better. I saw Foreigner in 1978 in Portland OR. festival seating in the Coliseum and the ticket price $8.50 those were the days. Last real show I went to back in the 90s was Clapton and that was almost $500. for two people.
I came here for Jeff Porcaro but left mesmerised by every single musician here and come back to this often for inspiration... This is the best dope you could ever put into your bloodstream who the f*** needs drugs when you have music like this to cope with this miserable, cruel world. Thank you for this wonderful post!
I always love the “lope” in the beat that Jeff lays down. Even when counting it off, he has that sound. What a brilliant drummer! Forget RIP - lay those infections beats down in heaven Jeff!
It’s synonymous with seeing God. Jeff made everyone and everything better and that’s a testament to Joe and also to Jeff’s ability to pretend he’s not the greatest musician in what ever room he was in or what you called humility. My fave thing is that Joe Porcaro interview about Jeff starting out. My God. We are so torn over his passing that we can’t even entertain Jeff sightings in this world. Jeff is the GOAT of music in general and also the drums. Jeff Porcaro 1992. Jeff Buckley 1997. My two Jeffrey’s. Ugh . My two main dudes who would have made music amazing up til now are gone and I blame whoever came up w this Shit to begin with. I wanted to do a tribute for Jeff as the Porcaro family and my family also have the Dad drummer and 3 musician sons, also Italian and also from the Northeast. Only way I could approach it while maintaining my integrity and also unique I think. Wow I typed a lot . Thanks
InvestorGuy66, This was in 1976. Toto didn’t exist, yet. Jeff, Mike, and Steve P., along with Les Dudek and Jai Winding were in Boz’s touring lineup for the Silk Degrees album tour.
A very Happy 77th Birthday William Royce "Boz" Scaggs June 8, 1944. Your songs were inspirational for us when we were young. And now, more than ever. Being that we're older and wiser. Thanks William.
First, I have been in love with Jeff Porcaro since the early 80's. Incredible drummer; love it when he's lost his glasses because he's playing so hard. But----how about 19 year old Steve Porcaro? What confidence and amazing talent at that age!
YES!!! Those Backup Singers sang in the GROOVE NIGHTLY!!! On stage Inside left to Right: Becky Lopez, (Middle) Vanetta Fields, (On end) Phyllis St. James(playing Tambourine!)
When this song came on the radio no matter where you were who you with ..It became a big sing along! Everyone knew every word.Sounded just like this video! Boz was so talented .Whata great era to be alive in!
Not that anybody would give a shit, but I grew up and still live on the island where the Silk Degrees album cover was photographed. In fact, we still have that exact same green bench sitting in the same spot and I walk my dogs past it almost every day.
@@andyheater In Avalon on Catalina Island. On the northeast side of the big iconic Casino Ballroom sitting in front of that same seawall that overlooks the dive park. longitude is -118.435601 and its latitude is 33.786594
@@seanmcaleavy2369 Hey friend, for some reason (my fault, no doubt) those coordinates inputted via Google Earth did not work out for me, but I was able to find out that by searching there for "Casino Point," I found those references that you indicated, but, alas, I couldn't find the bench! I did see along that north-east wall a decrepit park bench just left of the Dive Park painted sign, and a park table to its right. Help?... earth.app.goo.gl/gneGyQ
This man has one of the most amazing voice's ever lifted. Fell in love with it as a young teenager ( I'm now 57 ). Watching this makes me realize what an awesome performer and man he is, such natural ability. We fans have such good taste, don't we?
I heard a version of this song without Jeff and it's not the same song. Those ghost notes are tough to pull of but Jeff was one of the few who could pull them off. Richard Bailey, (Played on Jeff Beck's 'Blow by Blow') nails it on Freeway Jam.
Two iconic synth solos I grew up with by the great Steve Porcaro, this one on Lido and the big solo in Rosanna. Boz's voice is so perfect for this song!
I wasn't born until 1982 and I remember hearing this as a kid on one of my mum's golden oldies stations. You don't have to have 'been there' to know this is gold. REALLY good music is timeless and evokes emotion no matter the era you're listening in or age you are.
In 1977 I was at the concert in Toronto at the old Exhibition Stadium with general admission tickets. People walking all over each other but no one cared. What a fabulous event. Fleetwood Mac , Boz Scaggs and Kenny Logins. That year we played the Silk Degrees cassette tape all the way to Daytona beach and back to Toronto and we wore it out.
Yes, the singers were awesome. I watch the video regularly and am always stunned by their performance. I guess it lasts forever once you've done it like this.
@@beachgirl4583 😂 - You're RIGHT! It's his jacket, btw - but his eyes glancing back and forth, as if he's slightly annoyed 🤨😆 ! Also: appreciate how the studio jam is seamlessly mixed with that live performance - this is one of those gems why I like YT. In interviews, Steve Lukather always called Jeff the band leader of Toto, now look at 0:56: starting the groove and checking on the others if they catch on 🤓. It was already there. I'll stop analysing now and enjoy😉
ericgelders, I like your analysis. I’m not the one who noticed the jacket first. Someone else did, and another person added a hilarious quote (“I know that baggie is here somewhere,” iirc). This is one of my favorite videos ever. It shows the seventies as they really were, and there’s something magical about what those guys did that night. Note how Boz looks to a 19 year old Steve P. right before Steve becomes one with his dual mini moogs. Jeff definitely set the foundation at your time stamp. (I thought the jacket was hiding Jeff’s hand in his pants. 😂 It could have been in the jacket pocket.) I’ve watched a few of Luke’s interviews. You’re right. He looked up to Jeff since their school days.
I bought Silk Degrees in 1976 and have listened to it ever since. My daughter who is 17 loves it and my grandson of 9 loves it. For me one of the finest albums ever put onto vinyl.
Similar experience here, Bob. When I had trouble getting my infant kids to sleep at night I danced them to the Silk Degrees songs. They relaxed immediately and would go to sleep. When they toddled they danced/swayed to it. One of the best R&B bands to ever come together. That album will remain timeless.
Can’t actually believe anyone would be able to pull this off. The backing singers seem like they are hypnotised by the soulful energy being generated. So unbelievably cool.
WOW! Look at Jeff killing it with that killer groove!!!! There will never be another like him. That we know for sure. Many will try, but none will succeed.
Indeed! My wife and I first saw a 17 year-old Jeff Porcaro drumming for Sonny & Cher in a March 1972 concert in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Then two years later in April 1974 we recognized him drumming alongside Jim Hodder at our first Steely Dan concert in Toledo, Ohio. Such a prodigy that he got the gig on the Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour while he was still in high school.
I remember these days under those frying hot par cans. Guitars and drums would constantly go out of tune. My late buddy Jeff making it groove. Man I miss these days. Music will never be the same.
I love this song, and this video, and revisit it every few months, but this year has been one of the best for new music. Wolf Van Halen created an entire album by himself, with no skip songs. Jerry Cantrell released a good solo album. Halestorm is dropping a new album. The acoustic version of “Back From The Dead” is amazing. You might have to look for good music, since radio isn’t giving us much, but it’s out there.
This was in the long hot summer of 1977 in Scotland when this song was out.I have always wondered in this song what Lido was up to.'One more for the road' this joint aint nothing to it etc.He forgot to sing the 1st couple of words here.Brilliant drumming also+keyboards.We dont get hot summers in Scotland thats why ill not forget where i was when this was out.What a track!!!
Wow look at how young Jeff Porcaro is there and his brother they look like twins LOL both incredibly talented... It's a Bittersweet thing seeing this thinking about how Jeff was taken away from us but I'm grateful to have these videos on TH-cam to cherish the memories.
I think Bob (Polara) is referring to the part at 0:42, when Les Dudek comes over to Jeff & Mike. Those two did look alike. Steve doesn’t look like them.

Touches the Heart and soul of the times. The BoZ, THE MAN All she wrote. Bos Skaggs, THE MAN. "One for the road" I, Been there more than ONCE. I CAN RELATE. The girls are Wonderful. What a wonderful life it was and IS. 😄
Those Porcaro boys could lay it down. I remember seeing Toto on stage during their zenith, probably around the Hydra release, original line-up with a guest guitarist, and Steve would bring his entire array of old school analog synths with him. He looked like a laboratory scientist in a Marvel movie and sounded amazing.
Along with my kids favorite music, that I could hear down the block, I subject them to my 70’s, 80’s and 90’s music. My son won’t admit it but I know, for a fact, that he knows all the words to ‘Runaround Sue’ and how many times Steven Tyler says ‘Let it go’ for the song ‘What it takes’.
when ever I'm feeling a little down I come here to get my fix of natural uppers, the Porcaro brothers were on fire, whoa oh oh oh oh, he's for the money, he's for the show
I’ve always Loved classic rock the blues and anything that came along with it that was different. I was 10 in 77 And I remember my mom‘s youngest brother my uncle Ralph showed me how to listen to all this he told me to always pay attention carefully and listen and I was already into other bands like KISS, Fleetwood, Van Morrison.. and Molly Hatchet Van Halen but this was totally different when he introduced me to this and I’ve been in love with Boz Scaggs music ever sent brings back a lot of good memories of wanting more out of Music. So much talent
"One more for the road!" What a great song to go along with tour footage! I love the crescendo of this version especially. So cool to see all these legends from rehearsal to stage… Jeff Porcaro does it like nobody else!
Love the archival vintage footage and audio, we've all heard the studio mix it's nice to have things like this, time capsules. I love old 8mm-16mm film and old early video footage as an 80s baby.
Not that anybody would give a shit, but I grew up and still live on the island where the Silk Degrees album cover was photographed. In fact we still have that exact same green bench sitting in the same spot and I walk my dogs past it almost every day.

Jeff Porcaro was absolutely one of the best drummers ever
YES!
Agree
Miss Jeffs incredible drum talent and his great SOH never forgotten
No argument here!
Absolutely 💯
Iconic drum groove from the late great Jeff Porcaro. Still a joy to listen to.
i like the song but never seen nothing special about Jeff..
That was the first thing I noticed.Is that a young Jeff Porcaro?
It’s like Toto minus Luke and lead singer lol
It's a nice iteration of the classic Purdy shuffle.
...there was only one Jeff Porcaro...gone too soon

Not true, they were well established and played on a huge array of major albums besides Silk Degrees.

iTunes shows the release date for this song as January 1st, 1976.
This live version is great!
And Silk Degrees is probably one of my favourite albums of all time!
Even though it was a big hit at the time I think it might be the most underrated pop/rock album ever
Not that anybody would give a shit, but I grew up and still live on the island where the Silk Degrees album cover was photographed. In fact, we still have that exact same green bench sitting in the same spot and I walk my dogs past it almost every day.
Where is it?
@@andyheater In Avalon on Catalina Island. On the northeast side of the big iconic Casino Ballroom sitting in front of that same seawall that overlooks the dive park. longitude is -118.435601 and its latitude is 33.786594
@@seanmcaleavy2369 Hey friend, for some reason (my fault, no doubt) those coordinates inputted via Google Earth did not work out for me, but I was able to find out that by searching there for "Casino Point," I found those references that you indicated, but, alas, I couldn't find the bench! I did see along that north-east wall a decrepit park bench just left of the Dive Park painted sign, and a park table to its right. Help?... earth.app.goo.gl/gneGyQ
This is why our generation has TH-cam...to watch generous posters such as Mr Skaggs upload gems like this...thank YOU!
What a privilege to see a Fabolous song being made .A nd listening to one of the greatest performers ever . Love you Boz💋
This man has one of the most amazing voice's ever lifted. Fell in love with it as a young teenager ( I'm now 57 ). Watching this makes me realize what an awesome performer and man he is, such natural ability. We fans have such good taste, don't we?
Same here, 57 too. This song came out when disco ruled so it really stood out.
I’ve been waiting months to join this thread (just turned 57).
* waves at Beta and Heather.
@@beachgirl4583 So good to know you still rockin' and rollin' dear! A heartfelt " welcome", may there be many, many more years to enjoy!
@@betaomega8724 dear beach girl luv ya like I love the Lido shuffle here in South Africa
I loved seeing the phone with the buttons for the different lines. State of the art 40 years ago.
Great song
@4:50 the genius Jeff Porcaro at his best!!!
You know that bro!...............hands down King of the shuffle:)
How did Jeff get his glasses on at the end??
I heard a version of this song without Jeff and it's not the same song. Those ghost notes are tough to pull of but Jeff was one of the few who could pull them off. Richard Bailey, (Played on Jeff Beck's 'Blow by Blow') nails it on Freeway Jam.
@@axslinger99 ,
Mary?
Two iconic synth solos I grew up with by the great Steve Porcaro, this one on Lido and the big solo in Rosanna. Boz's voice is so perfect for this song!
Blinded by the light was iconic
I still have my 45 from when I was little and I still listen to it today! Oh oh oh oh...
70s was my favorite music era, period.
Sometimes some musicians make something so beautiful you keep looking for mistakes. I'm still looking. It's been years.
I wasn't born until 1982 and I remember hearing this as a kid on one of my mum's golden oldies stations. You don't have to have 'been there' to know this is gold. REALLY good music is timeless and evokes emotion no matter the era you're listening in or age you are.
It's good to see young and fresh Jeff Porcaro.... I miss him so much... What a great drummer and person....
In 1977 I was at the concert in Toronto at the old Exhibition Stadium with general admission tickets. People walking all over each other but no one cared. What a fabulous event. Fleetwood Mac , Boz Scaggs and Kenny Logins. That year we played the Silk Degrees cassette tape all the way to Daytona beach and back to Toronto and we wore it out.
This song is priceless. Pure genius.
👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
What a band! What a song! Boz is The Man.
The piano intro is a very nice touch. My favorite version of Lido Shuffle
Watched Boz Scaggs in concert in 2021. What a great concert! I’m 60, but felt like a whipper-snapper in the audience! ❤
That is some real, genuine rock and roll. I love it!
Let's give it up for the background singers those ladies were jamming!!!
Yes ma'am!
Yes, the singers were awesome. I watch the video regularly and am always stunned by their performance. I guess it lasts forever once you've done it like this.
My Aunt is one of them! Becky Lopez :)
@@angelinalange4329 That is beautiful Angelina. Here's to your Aunt Becky! Thank you.
Yes sir !!!!
Great playing and great songwriting never goes out of style. Wow. What a band.
This smh takes me back to my 70s preschool hood. Silk Degrees is a great album!
Les Dudek tearing it on the lead guitar...
We LOVED Boz Skaggs in the 1970s. We were hard party gals and Boz was on audio tape on every skiing and hiking adventure!
Arguably THE highlight of this video: Jeff kicking of THAT groove and Boz seemingly carelessly catching on to it: 0:56 - 1:15 - sub-zero cool😎
My favorite part too.
Musically, I agree, but Les catching Jeff digging in his pants for the bag of weed, starting at 0:41 (as Les meets all three brothers) is comic gold.
@@beachgirl4583 😂 - You're RIGHT! It's his jacket, btw - but his eyes glancing back and forth, as if he's slightly annoyed 🤨😆 ! Also: appreciate how the studio jam is seamlessly mixed with that live performance - this is one of those gems why I like YT.
In interviews, Steve Lukather always called Jeff the band leader of Toto, now look at 0:56: starting the groove and checking on the others if they catch on 🤓. It was already there.
I'll stop analysing now and enjoy😉
ericgelders,
I like your analysis.
I’m not the one who noticed the jacket first. Someone else did, and another person added a hilarious quote (“I know that baggie is here somewhere,” iirc).
This is one of my favorite videos ever.
It shows the seventies as they really were, and there’s something magical about what those guys did that night.
Note how Boz looks to a 19 year old Steve P. right before Steve becomes one with his dual mini moogs.
Jeff definitely set the foundation at your time stamp.
(I thought the jacket was hiding Jeff’s hand in his pants. 😂 It could have been in the jacket pocket.)
I’ve watched a few of Luke’s interviews. You’re right. He looked up to Jeff since their school days.
It’s one of the greatest ever things we’ll ever see . ❤
I bought Silk Degrees in 1976 and have listened to it ever since. My daughter who is 17 loves it and my grandson of 9 loves it. For me one of the finest albums ever put onto vinyl.
Similar experience here, Bob. When I had trouble getting my infant kids to sleep at night I danced them to the Silk Degrees songs. They relaxed immediately and would go to sleep. When they toddled they danced/swayed to it. One of the best R&B bands to ever come together. That album will remain timeless.
やっぱこの家族怪物！ 3人いるｗｗｗ What a great family! Three guys on one stage! Don't you thinks?
Can’t actually believe anyone would be able to pull this off. The backing singers seem like they are hypnotised by the soulful energy being generated. So unbelievably cool.
Just people playing music and having a great time,and a hit record ❤
Caught Boz a few months ago in Tallahassee, FL. Awesome show...not missing a beat. Rock on Boz!!!
Great song and wow, how talented are the Porcaro brothers!
I don't know who Lido was but he sure owes Jeff Porcaro his shuffle! What a BAND! Toto on the RISE!
In case you're wondering a Lido Shuffle is the way you walk when you get out the pool and the ground is hot.
Marcus Brennan, Exactly! People keep saying that this was inspired by the Purdie shuffle, but that was “Rosanna”.
WOW! Look at Jeff killing it with that killer groove!!!! There will never be another like him. That we know for sure. Many will try, but none will succeed.
Yep!
Jeff even counted it off with groove.
Steve, Mike and Jeff Porcaro!!
A pretty good backing section if I don't mind saying so
Indeed! My wife and I first saw a 17 year-old Jeff Porcaro drumming for Sonny & Cher in a March 1972 concert in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Then two years later in April 1974 we recognized him drumming alongside Jim Hodder at our first Steely Dan concert in Toledo, Ohio. Such a prodigy that he got the gig on the Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour while he was still in high school.
and David Paich on the album.
Yeah.!
Always to hear. Excellent
I remember these days under those frying hot par cans. Guitars and drums would constantly go out of tune. My late buddy Jeff making it groove. Man I miss these days. Music will never be the same.
Steve Porcaro and TWO Minimoogs! What a great track.
Silk Degrees is one of the finest albums the world has ever heard.
Spectacular talent. Don't you wish every band in 2021 was this talented!!
I love this song, and this video, and revisit it every few months, but this year has been one of the best for new music. Wolf Van Halen created an entire album by himself, with no skip songs.
Jerry Cantrell released a good solo album.
Halestorm is dropping a new album.
The acoustic version of “Back From The Dead” is amazing.
You might have to look for good music, since radio isn’t giving us much, but it’s out there.
Silk Degrees is really the birth of Toto. How wonderful to see the Porcaro bros so young.
Imagine having Toto as your backing band.
Kerri Braddock Imagine having Boz Scaggs as your front man
Dam!
Linda Ronstadt and the Eagles. :-)
This was in the long hot summer of 1977 in Scotland when this song was out.I have always wondered in this song what Lido was up to.'One more for the road' this joint aint nothing to it etc.He forgot to sing the 1st couple of words here.Brilliant drumming also+keyboards.We dont get hot summers in Scotland thats why ill not forget where i was when this was out.What a track!!!
Keep m comin👍🏾
Wow look at how young Jeff Porcaro is there and his brother they look like twins LOL both incredibly talented... It's a Bittersweet thing seeing this thinking about how Jeff was taken away from us but I'm grateful to have these videos on TH-cam to cherish the memories.
Brothers three ☺ Jeff, Steve, Mike ♥♥♥
I think Bob (Polara) is referring to the part at 0:42, when Les Dudek comes over to Jeff & Mike. Those two did look alike. Steve doesn’t look like them.

Cut the girl some slack. She didn’t tag you; she was following the app’s format.

It doesn’t make sense because you deleted your comment. It was there two weeks ago, though. You barked at beachgirl for not tagging Polara, but he can’t be tagged.

I CAN RELATE.
The girls are Wonderful.
What a wonderful life it was and IS. 😄
Silk Degrees....killer album! Still sounds fresh after all these years.
0:40 the Porcaro brothers 💕 RIP Jeff and Mikey.
Those Porcaro boys could lay it down. I remember seeing Toto on stage during their zenith, probably around the Hydra release, original line-up with a guest guitarist, and Steve would bring his entire array of old school analog synths with him. He looked like a laboratory scientist in a Marvel movie and sounded amazing.
Along with my kids favorite music, that I could hear down the block, I subject them to my 70’s, 80’s and 90’s music. My son won’t admit it but I know, for a fact, that he knows all the words to ‘Runaround Sue’ and how many times Steven Tyler says ‘Let it go’ for the song ‘What it takes’.
times were so much better back then...great music....eveything felt better....horrible today...
Jeff Porcaro was only in his early 20s at the time. Awesome drummer. The band of future of Toto was there!
1:15 Boz playing a Yamaha SG 2000 and look how you Les Dudek looks
The young Porcaro brothers is cool to see. Boz forgot what part he was in for a second! I love this song. Good memories.
Jeff Jeff Jeff Jeff Jeff Porcaro! We miss you, bud!
@Boz Scaggs🎶 thanks :)
Exactly 30 years ago, groove faded away…miss ya Jeff!
I love the piano tuning beginning then playing the riff, creates a very nostalgic image in my mind, to me a classic American sound. Great song.
tuner is Robert Lamm of Chicago 🤯
I remember my mom put this on a TDK cassette for me from the vinyl. Great song brings back memories of a better time.
For me Silk Degrees was one of the finest albums ever. Not a bad tune on it!!’
Love that album
when ever I'm feeling a little down I come here to get my fix of natural uppers, the Porcaro brothers were on fire, whoa oh oh oh oh, he's for the money, he's for the show
Boz is the MAN! Took my dad to see him in York, PA and he rocked. My dad brings it up all the time. Great memory.
Every year, every decade, every performance, he kills it every time.
iLikeyourName-:ASHAGON...🐶🐴🦓🦬
He had a lot of people up on that stage with him.
Great to see the pacaro brothers on this track👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Thank you Boz for giving us 50 years of listening pleasure!
I’ve always Loved classic rock the blues and anything that came along with it that was different. I was 10 in 77 And I remember my mom‘s youngest brother my uncle Ralph showed me how to listen to all this he told me to always pay attention carefully and listen and I was already into other bands like KISS, Fleetwood, Van Morrison.. and Molly Hatchet Van Halen but this was totally different when he introduced me to this and I’ve been in love with Boz Scaggs music ever sent brings back a lot of good memories of wanting more out of Music. So much talent
"Proto-Toto" … amazing tune, amazing band - wish I could've caught the live show, obvious it was quite the production - top notch players only!
Toto had everything, right?
But they never had a front man like Boz! (no offense)
Lido shuffle and Lowdown are kicked into a higher plane of soul.
"One more for the road!" What a great song to go along with tour footage! I love the crescendo of this version especially. So cool to see all these legends from rehearsal to stage… Jeff Porcaro does it like nobody else!
Love the archival vintage footage and audio, we've all heard the studio mix it's nice to have things like this, time capsules. I love old 8mm-16mm film and old early video footage as an 80s baby.
I feel happy every time I turn this on, listen to the music, and watch Jeff Porcaro grooving on this one. Great!
Not that anybody would give a shit, but I grew up and still live on the island where the Silk Degrees album cover was photographed. In fact we still have that exact same green bench sitting in the same spot and I walk my dogs past it almost every day.
I give a $***. I love Catalina. The boats to get there make me seasick, though.
