no backing tracks, no ghost vocals, no lip synch, no sample loops, no midi, no click track back then, just 100% raw explosive energy talent from the beginnings of the best real deal live pop rock band around, hands down, Amen!
And the geniuses at rolling stone declared they were not good for music simply because they were so talented that other musicians hired them to play on all the other records. LOL but R.S. never was known for intelligence.

@@wolflover789 Intelligence ? Lol, Rolling Stone Magazine gave the Boston bomber more respect than they ever gave to Toto. The band was smart to turn those fiends down on being put on the cover of their commie Magazine after winning those 6 Grammys in 1983.
@LvLeigh11 They didn't tour big in the states because after TOTO IV came out (1982) and after they won 6 Grammys in 1983 for that album , their popularity steadily declined in America for years. They didn't repeat big success with Isolation (plus Kimball was gone too) and even bringing Joe Williams after Fergie Fredericksen didn't save them , Steve Lukather a co-singer sang on the singles "I'll be over you" and Paich written "Without your love" despite Williams being the "new lead singer" so Fahrenheit and The Seventh one with Joe Williams singing "Pamela" and "Stop loving you" the latter song was a hit overseas but their popularity was still declining in America . You know what happened with Past to present-,1977-1990 and Byron so I won't start on that disaster drama . Their consistent popularity overseas is why they're still around, impossible to recapture in America once you slip in your prime .
I'll tell you back then no lead singer could come close to Bobby Kimball and the way he could hit those high notes was unbelievable and my favorite tune was I'll Supply the Love and still is..😎
@@squonk86 I worked on 2 Toto records,, Not "work". Duh,,, ,,, I was working with Luke,,, one of the best musicians I have ever encountered.Bobby and I came up in Louisiana,,,We both wisely left because of the toxic music scene locally. Bobby was always crazy, but other than Steve Parry, Billy Trudel, and a few others, no one could touch him. He is on a lot of records doing backgrounds and goast vocals, that no one knows about. Listening to that stuff still blows me away, and I was there.
THIS is the TOTO I saw and will always remember. The first tour was totally bad ass ! The guys were having a blast and just kicking ass ! Steve was putting on a show all by himself behind his keyboards. Remember it like yesterday. TOTO forever !
This is the TOTO I know. These guys are hitting on all cylinders this night. The energy & joy is expressed on all their faces. They are on fire & they know it.
24th Street Agora. Ahhh! The place had a huge fireplace in it with a sign in old english lettering "There is nothing more fearful than ignorance in action". It felt like a ski lodge in the middle of downtown. For a concert venue the ceilings were low but the sight lines were amazing. HUGE sound system, HUGE light system, HUGE arena size stage, 2 big bars, cheap beer. A large trapdoor in the lobby that hid a stairway that led downstairs to the other agora club called the Mistake, later the Pop Shop". 7 nights a week of great bands. A 24 track MCI recorder with a 26 input Audiotronics studio mixing board and all the latest outboard gear upstairs. The place also was hardwired to the WMMS radio station down the street for live broadcasts. Best of all, the parking lot exit-- go straight out across 24th street and you were on the Innerbelt freeway- hard for cops to pull anyone over. 1 block from a 23,000 student university - Cleveland State. The Agora was and is a world class bar/club and it caused other Cleveland concert bars to "step up" to compete at a really high level.
Any Toto fan who hasn't read "The Gospel According to Luke" by Steve Lukather, needs to do so ASAP. I've been a fan of Toto since the early 80's but that book made me appreciate them even more!!! He tells the story of how he got the very Les Paul he's playing on "Hold the Line" in this video. I remember when my older cousin was old enough to go to concerts and I wasn't, he would always come back and tell me about the experience. He saw bands like The Scorpions, Accept, ZZ Top, etc.... but when he came back from seeing Toto, he said it was the best concert he'd ever seen! Even has an adolescent, I knew that comment, in the context of what he normally liked and listened to, was a huge testament to the guys in Toto!
The best incarnation of this legendary band. Ever. The line 'We're getting older, and acting bolder' from All Us Boys were a prediction to the state of this band 43 years later..
I've seen more than 30 Toto concerts since this great night in 1979. Sweden, Norway, Las Vegas multiple times, and Atlantic City. This is still my favorite for sound quality, a small club of maybe 1200 fans, and a brand new band of superstars.
I mean, Holy Hell. This is just from another planet. The vocal range is unreal that Bobby is singing this hard live and hitting the notes like that. My face is numb. :) Example: 3:34. If most normal folks tried to hit those notes, their chords would snap.
@@jaggass I don't know very much about singing but it's always been said that David wrote songs which were slightly above Bobby's range. However, I've heard a lot of singers with extremely high ranges like Fergie and Freddie Curcy, but IMHO, Bobby's high notes had a more rich body to it.
@@jaggassActually David Paich wrote a portion of ROSANNA and he hit a "writers block" on where to take the song after Steve Lukathers part. Paich said it was Kimball who suggested to David, "Turn it into a duet" and that very completed the song, with Lukather and Kimball singing their registers in one song 🎵 by a wisely done key change. That's how everything came together. 😊
Terrific!! My brothers and I were there for both concerts that evening. Stood outside in 20-degree temperature for almost two hours. Forty-two years later and I still do not know how this was televised in Japan. Would love to have a copy of the concert without the Japanese commentary enhancer. The Manager in charge of booking, etc. of The Agora Ballroom was a huge, huge John Bonham fan, and he was a local drumming ace himself. After this concert, I did manage to get him to admit that Jeff was "one of the best".
@@tomulator Toto played both shows. 7:30 pm and 9:30 pm as I recall. They played most of the tunes on their debut album, and threw in those gems "Tale of a Man", "All Us Boys", and "Hey Little Girl".
@@Ophidian14 Sorry, as I mentioned, I have no idea how it was being taped. Perhaps Sony had some of their ace recorders there since it was Toto's first tour. The Agora was the premier venue for launching new artists like Bruce Springsteen, Southside Johnny, and Foreigner, so this small club had perfect acoustics and sound systems.
Toto just killed that lazy crowd. Kimball has to be one of the greatest singers of all time. Too bad the media (RS) killed Toto and especially Kimball. That band is one of the best of all time - songwriting, performing, composing... Thank you for sharing this true gem. And to Mr Beato who seems to be one of the few music journalists who actually both knows and loves music. Other journalists seem more interested in the color of the pillow case, the angle of the shoes and the attitude towards West German tennis.
They would continue to make gigantic hits throughout the 80's but would never so much as approach the excellence, panache, fury and grandeur of their first 2 albums. Early TOTO is simply untouchable. This live recording is a monumental testament to that.
I've seen TOTO once, November 2018 in Charleston SC and the remaining members at the time were Steve L and Steve P. Paich was still with the band but decided not to do the North American leg of the tour for health reasons. Joe Williams was the lead vocalist and of course Lenny was still behind the percussion. The first lineup in this video will always be my favorite. If you do the wiki on the members it reads like a who's who of the music industry. The accomplishments they have achieved is immense and will probably never be repeated. This video is gold!
I do believe that is that 500,000 dollar plus guitar Steve L talks about on some of his interviews 20 years from this show. And Jeff Porcaro 25 here but had been a master for 9 years in the business already. So young wow I'd like to go back.
It would have to be the les paul gold top which is a 1957. The sunburst les paul is a 70s les paul deluxe with mini humbuckers which is only worth a couple of thousand.
Kimball singing, hell yeah !!! But Paich singing is great too, the whole vocal duties are perfection, so much harmonies. And Jeff of course, rest in Peace you Legend.
God, how I fucking love this band, they did All Us Boys and Hydra hadn’t even come out yet (I’m guessing this performance was before Hydra came out in I think September of 79). I live on Long Island, and they did not play the greater NY area til 92 (Kingdom of Desire tour, just after Jeff’s passing, they played at either Roseland or Irving Plaza in 92, I forget which venue). How I wish to God they toured here much, much earlier, I idolized them, I still do, but the original lineup was by far my favorite
Wow, what a rare concert find! The best songs of Toto that I've liked, they have the raw energy of a college band on stage, reminds me of how popular they were at that time while I was a senior in high school, and later their IV album--the definitive melodic rock album of the 80's along with Chicago 16 and 17 I felt.
Saw them a week or two later on this tour. Won't forget those high boots Jeff wore, Luke far louder in the mix than on record, Kimball belting lyrics, etc. White Sister was the best song of the night.
Luke is smokin' and Bobby the best as always, great reminder how they all paid their dues to be where they are now. Thanks for putting this together and making it available online ! Love it.
I'll always think they missed a great opportunity to record "Hey Little Girl", which they performed live on thew first tour and some of the Hydra dates I think. Such a great song and should have been released as a single.
Wahoouuu, Ray, thanks for the post ! I really was a big fan of Toto since their first Album, My firt bike had a plate with "Jeff Porcaro" on it ! I saw them multiple times in France (my home country) but missed the last tour, one year before Jeff passed away, so sad ... I play drums, and sing in many bands on this Channel : Rosegang (70's covers, I do drums and lead vocals), LDDP (drums), J&G (drums), L' Ecole du Crime (Drums) etc ... My main job is Audio/Video directing, recording and editing ... So the sound of my gigs should be clean enough, I hope. Note that LDDP band is only about improvising live, a nice exercice we really like to do, even if we may play some crap stuff sometimes. Have a nice day !
The outro groove Jeff plays on Georgy Poorgy sums up his greatness. Most drummer would’ve rode the Ride cymbal, where’s Jeff stays with the hi-hat. Jeff didn’t just play for the sake of playing, rather he made points
Jeff with the concert tom Ludwigs … 😳 Toto with that extra guitar player they apparently kept in the basement … Lenny Castro with way ahead of his time “woke” suspenders …
I too was wondering who was that extra touring guitarist? He surely held up well the rhythm guitar vamps on "HOLD THE LINE" while Steve Lukathur took lead on that infamous solo. BCRadio
Wikipedias says about him : Kelly became a prominent session singer in Los Angeles, singing backing vocals for many recording artists. He accompanied Toto on their 1979 World Tour as a backing vocalist and rhythm guitarist, and sang background vocals on the Toto albums Toto IV, Isolation and The Seventh One. In 1981 he wrote his first hit song, "Fire and Ice", with Pat Benatar for her album Precious Time.
If you watch the 1990 Paris concert, also available on this platform, you will be able to see how the band evolved beyond the tedious, loud rock band that can be seen here...
But this is the best version of Toto yep, in 1979 raw, not polished, hungry and new. In 1990 yes, better technology wise with Jean MIchel Byron who bombed and less than 5 years before him was, Joe Williams and Fergie Fredericksen . It wasn't the same TOTO after Kimball left in 1983-84 so any comparisons are pointless.
One of my favorites concerts. I’m not forcing to do anything, but I just want to know, there’s a Fahrenheit special from 1986, and there’s an annoying French overdub, I was wondering if since you did this you could remove that overdub. But it’s ok if you can’t.
I hope you enjoy it. Really one of the greatest bands ever. The singer since 2010 is Joseph Williams, vocalist from farenheit and the seventh one works
Just because a band is enjoying themselves on stage doesn't mean drugs are always involved. Plus these guys are playing and singing so accurate, the only thing they're running on in this concert is ADRENALINE !!.

It wasn't the same TOTO after Kimball left in 1983-84 so any comparisons are pointless.
Tedious? Bore off!!
🎉 i prefer the gritty TO TO, BY FAR!
Awesome... Who is the rhythm guitar player right of Luke?
This is jam🔥
Never knew that Hungate went 🎃n the road. Scary.
And they came out running as a Supergroup! Didn't make this concert, should have! I knew about it!
One of my favorites concerts. I’m not forcing to do anything, but I just want to know, there’s a Fahrenheit special from 1986, and there’s an annoying French overdub, I was wondering if since you did this you could remove that overdub. But it’s ok if you can’t.
I need another audio version without voice over to do the mix ... If you send me both links I will be happy to do it !
going to see them in a few weeks...whos still in the band? Steve and the main singer?
I hope you enjoy it. Really one of the greatest bands ever. The singer since 2010 is Joseph Williams, vocalist from farenheit and the seventh one works
Steve Lukather and sometimes David Paich
Somebody else..
Coke was pure in 79, fortunately
You are so disrespectful
Not wrong
Just because a band is enjoying themselves on stage doesn't mean drugs are always involved. Plus these guys are playing and singing so accurate, the only thing they're running on in this concert is ADRENALINE !!.
Who is the extra guitar player?
Incredible talent and this one minus Japanese but terrific sound quality 😮. Listen to the others.. they sound much better

Also the Sex Pistols were scheduled to play there right after San Francisco but they broke up in San Francisco. Tickets? $4
I would put this singer right up there with Brad Delp
