Toto were formed in LA in the late 70's by a group of friends who were all much in demand session musicians. They went on to epitomise the classic American pop/rock sound of the 80's and 90's with hit albums and singles including Hold The Line, Africa, I Won't Hold You Back and the multi-Grammy winning Rosanna.
Live In Amsterdam was recorded in front of a fanatical crowd in 2003 during the world tour in support of their album "Through The Looking Glass". The set includes all their hits, tracks from that album together with live favourites.
This track is from the full concert DVD "Live in Amsterdam", available now from Eagle Vision.

There used to be a joke about him, it went 'Why hasn't Simon Philips got a driving license? Because he doesn't know the difference between left and right'. The idea being he's so ambidextrous he can play everything both ways. Such a master.

what is even more awesome is when you learn that he is actually playing behind the loop that Jeff Porcaro used on the original recording. Simon is an absolute master at the drums. There is another video that shows what he is playing during the main verse and how he has to play light and accent the main loop and not step on it .... and I would kill to be as fluid a player as he is, triplets for days and days. (and love your Icon, I'm in Oak Ridge, Go Vols!)

It's great to see Bobby Kimball on stage in much better times than what he's going through now, at 73 and suffering from the early stages of dementia and severe hearing loss. I don't care whether they used a backing track or whatever else here, in his prime Bobby was one of the great voices in music, and he was a huge part of the success of Toto and the incredible body of work they put together. I think we should all put some respect on his name.

Except in this performance no human sang the chorus, which is understandable, with age the voice changes and the range becomes narrow. Still sad though, because I'm pretty sure the singer doesn't know his mic is muted judging from his efforts. At the end his mic is turned back on and he clearly can sing.

Bobby Kimball was one of the greatest vocalists in his day but what made Toto such a great band is how everybody contributed. They made songs where 3 guys would sing in different parts of the song and it not only worked but it was magical. They also used many differnet types of instruments and NONE of their songs sounded the same, they were all very unique! Quite possibly the most talented group of musicians the planet has ever seen. One other thing I have to say was about the song Rosanna.When Bobby says "I never knew that losing you would ever hurt so bad!"......It just was not possible for him to sing that lyric any better.He belted it out with pure perfection. God could that man sing!

Jeff Porcaro was irreplaceable. Even Simon Philips knows that. But more importantly, Mike Porcaro knew it too. He formed a distinct relationship with Simon that was entirely different than his one with his brother because Mike knew, as a part of the percussion section, the importance of having one with every drummer he played with. Its also what made him such a popular studio bassist. I think this could have only helped Simon assume the role of filling some very big shoes, and I think Simon has done admirably in his work. Its still Toto, but its Simon's rhythm now. As it should be. RIP to both Mike and Jeff Porcaro. I hope the family documentary sees the light of day.

You could just tell he loved to play every note he got to while he could do it. He'd been playing this same set for decades yet seemed to be just as into it as the first time he heard it. To me the argument of best bass player is irrelevant with Mike. The terms should be of the bass player who loved what he played the most for as long as long he could play it. With those terms there is no equal.
