This performance captures one special night on November 21, 2020 when Steve Lukather, Joseph Williams and David Paich appeared with the new line-up of Toto for a global event originating from Los Angeles, CA. Joining Lukather, Williams and Paich for this next chapter in their indelible history are new band members bassist John Pierce (Huey Lewis and The News), drummer Robert “Sput” Searight (Ghost-Note / Snarky Puppy), and keyboardist / background vocalist Steve Maggiora (Robert Jon & The Wreck). Keyboardist Dominique “Xavier” Taplin (Prince, Ghost-Note) and multi-instrumentalist / vocalist Warren Ham (Ringo Starr) segued over continuing their tenure in the ensemble. This marks the fifteenth incarnation of the Toto line-up in consideration of band members or sidemen who joined or exited.
"With A Little Help From My Friends" was produced by Joseph Williams, who also edited the accompanying long-form video. The band's longtime front-of-house engineer Ken Freeman mixed and captured the sound that evening.

Eddie VanHalen said "Toto is the best band ever" & "The best musicians on the planet" and he is not wrong.

Lukather tells a good story about the "Beat It" guitar work with Eddie V.H. in an interview by "Rick Beato" on You Tube. Great interview, Luke speaks so well of the music and the people along the way. He has so many stories, and is hilarious. Rick Beato (i.m.o.) has a great channel for all guitar players and anyone who's been in the studio. While I'm here, I also just got to say: Watch "The Wrecking Crew" Everyone needs to stream it. Luke also gives homage to it. dat's all: )

Unfortunately that’s not true. They lost their drive once Simon quit. He was the true drive behind the overall sound. And I don‘t know what it is, Lukather turned kinda arrogant over the years and Williams‘ vocals are an imposition Still I like their music :-)

I grew up with their music. Toto gave me sense of musical. They inspired me to play music, even till today. And in 2019 I finally got the chance to watch them perform live on Java Jazz Music Festival. I sold my guitars just to be there. That was an experience of a life time, to watch your HERO up close.

I can't believe it. This is amazing that after all these years Toto is still making great music with a great bunch of musicians. What astounds me is the vocals that Williams has; he is such a powerhouse. This new manifestation of what is, was, and will be forever, one of the greatest bands in history, is the culmination of over 40 years of the greatest songs ever written by some of the greatest musicians to ever walk this earth, but also, most importantly, and which should never be forgotten, the most humble and beautiful people. Congratulations to all members of Toto, past and present. I'm grateful you're still around. Thanks for the music.

I've been a Toto fan since the 70s and familiar with every lineup change since.Ive never been the type to cry over band member changes. I recently bought a 3rd row center ticket for New Hampshire on 3/6/22 when they open for Journey and words can't describe my excitement. At 57 yrs old I feel like a teen again. After watching this the anticipation is even worse for Me. This lineup will go down in history as one of the best.

The fact that Toto is not in the R&R HOF calls the credibility of Rolling Stone and the HoF itself into question. Just a ridiculous omission, and I hope it won’t be a situation like so many others where they wait until most of the members have passed away and THEN they put them in. If they’re not in, then nobody deserves to be.

I learned I could not only dance, but put on a freestyle show for clubs, bars, weddings at a very young age; NO LESSONS! I even danced to "Africa" at work.(I'm a fricken Custodian at a Casino.,) I needed to prove at 40+ that I or "We" all have gifts/talents to offer that others could not fathom. Not unlike all members at a young age from TOTO. "Africa" blew me away at 6. I was an old soul. Also, thanks for enriching all of our lives with music-food for the Soul! ❤😂🎉
