Is a BOOM!!! this guy

Lets not forget the incredible David Hungate!

That's right :)))

The whole band is on fire on this gem not just Jeff. But Jeff was a bad man on the sticks. Top 5 all time.

Powerhouse!

Mike Portnoy, Simon Philips

@@carvinieri5217 They also🙆‍♂️

I ask myself the same.

Agree!!

Turn Back was a rushed album

Jeff was a monster on everything he played on. But I agree. This song is killer.

A good monster

Only drums I can compare this song to is Tom Sawyer by Neil Peart

@@manuelroyo4539 mouah ah ah...ah !!!! good joke !!!

Yeah well auto tune in 1981 anyway...

just evh

I really WAS born in the wrong generation...

This is GREAT!!!

AwesomeBoy Vlogs& Reaction no you weren't dumb kid

And happy 65th birthday JT

Yes it was one of the darkest days of Toto,for me Jeff Porcaro still is the best drummer in the world.Drumming is not about speed and learning notes its all about groove and Jeff Porcaro is da n1 groove Meister!!!!!

Same with keyboardist Steve Porcaro, who is now the only one of the three Porcaro brothers left after the middle of the three, bassist Mike, died in March 2015 of complications from Lou Gehrig's disease, which severely made him lose his nimbleness on the bass. However, Steve hadn't performed regularly with Toto since the group's most recent reunion in 2020.

most overlooked and disrespected by the "wonderful" Rolling Stone Magazine. this is the No. 1 reason why I give a shit about that magazine. there are countless more reasons, but this is the No.1

Neil Pert

@@Brazilofile who?

I think that Kimball still did great in "Falling in Between" and "Mindfields" but he's fire, and my heart also lays with Joeseph

He was Def one of the BEST DRUMMERS of his Time .. He Played on Everything with Everyone ! ....... yea .. he ROCKS IT !

@@gremlinjr2 yeah, this drum-part might look quite straightforward on the surface, but keeping up this shuffle (watch the Hi-hat!) and keeping up this breakneck tempo is exremely hard to do

@@raymondhartmeijer9300 funny thing is he HATED shuffles XD

@@kai326 Many drummers do. Yet one could say Purdie, Porcaro, and Gordon had the best shuffles!

@@spasevrp Donald Fagen when recording Gold teeth two - told Jeff to go and listen o some jazz as he wasn't happy with it. JP came back the next day and smashed it.

Carlos Canales Vega they are not because the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame is a complete and utter sham.

So many amazing voices, it's really ridiculous, way more melodic then even the Eagles in their day in my opinion

nope...no arguing about it...definitely the most talented band ever!!

This is what it looks like when outstanding studio players play their own music.

Paul-E G'z yes, the eagles were more dry, these guys here EVERYONEis just singing their freaking guts out!!!!

Steve Hammond did you that eddie van halen himself said that Toto ARE the best group? It’s documented.

OHHH Yes

Jeff😍

And I look at most of the comments and they are mostly about jeff

¡YEAH!

Scale for session players back then was 165 per 3 hour session and he was double scale. So you could have him for 330 bucks. He could easily lay down 3 tracks in that time (or more) so looking at about 100+ bucks per song. Not a bad deal even at today’s prices adjusted for inflation. I’d pay it in a heart beat.

That's right.

+danlc95 THE best. And I love the way he ends the video. LIVE in the studio!

Agree

andrew haines Well I think Simon Phillips played his part with immense respect to Jeff but he's a legend and one of the greatest drummers currently by his own merits

Agree. I also think Keith Carlock is one of the greatest drummers alive, but as phenomenal as he's been with Steely Dan every time I've seen him, he just did not (or could not) play aggressively enough for the Toto rockers when he toured with them.

like an atomic clock, for real

Wow. "Time like an atomic clock." Perfect description of Jeff's playing!

Totally agree, posibbly my favorite album by them. It was not well received (such a shame), so much so that the band was afraid Columbia would drop them. Then came Toto IV and the rest is history

@@manuelroyo4539 I love the Turn Back album. But, I think the mix of the album is one of reasons it didn’t do so well. It’s very low in volume, and a little muddy, and all the other instruments are in the back and the drums and vocals are up front. But, it’s one of my favorites.

Preach on, Jack!

I personally don't think you can measure different bands by their success because you could do it differently and the time difference between the singers and bands cannot be compared. Although if you did want to compare Toto in terms of popularity by records sold it is 40 million, but Elvis has sold 250+ million. I do not think there is any difference in talent between them because they are all geniuses in their own way, but obviously, Elvis hit a nerve with the public.

@Scott Murphy I think those who know Toto and his contributions to rock and music in general see this great band as very underrated because for many they should be on the same "pedestal" as The Beatles, Queen, Led Zeppelin, etc. for their quality and versatility (I read that normally their sessions were recorded in one go or after very few takes). Some see them as another group from the 80's, when they are much more than that, besides the fact that the critics shredded them and were not as salesmen as others groups (collectively, of course). I don't know how they see them in the United States in general, but from what I've read, they should have been better received and much more appreciated. I don't know if I'm wrong about that... By the way, why some many the Toto songs with women's names on them? Just curiosity :P

Jeff isn’t underrated at all. He is a legend; my favourite musician. I would say that lukather is very underrated.

@Scott Murphy They deserved more attention by critics and put them among the greatest band like Pink Floyd Queen Chicago, etc

I always have a hard time imagining that voice coming out of that dude.

@@edroseptic9442 Yes, it's like seeing Super Mario with long hair cranking out Toto tunes.

4:01 is what set him apart.

I prefer Joe Williams, but Kimball's still good

you don't even have to turn it up very loud to notice the lyrics he sings! though I do. but my mother had an old cassette of IV in 1985(she recorded herself from the radio) and even as muddy as it was I could hear Kimball's moody "Waiting for your Love' got my attention real quick that Toto is FAR more than "Africa".

Dirk Jan Mulder bobby rips it

Are you kidding ? They had 3 hits - Who the hell is the lead singer ? Are you Deaf ?

Toto are more than "3 Hits" Listen to their entire catalogue, They have a vast one filled of incredible music They can play anything and kick ass while they do it. I am not deaf, I just have good taste in music ;) Ps. The singer's name is bobby kimball

+Djoka Gjonaj terrible trolling, kid.

I know they are talented - I enjoy a few of their songs - they are not a mega band like The Who, Beatles, Zepplin etc.....

.... if you know what you are talking about ... They are still ON STAGE

That's what I thought, LOVE IT!!!

Siempre amaré a Jeff 💗

QUE GRANDE ERA JEFF!!!!

Extraordinario Jeff

これ、なんでジェフが暴れたんですかね？ 僕の思い込み解釈↓ ギターソロ⇒ルカサーノリノリ弾きまくり&音でかい⇒ペイチが弾き過ぎじゃね？みたいな眼差し⇒ジェフキレる、、、みたいな流れなんでしょうか？ｗｗ ・・・どうなんでしょう？(´･ω･`)？ 個人的にはこっちの方がソロは好きなんですけど。。。

川上力 やりきったからよっしゃああ！ってなったようにみえたけど

Not only were they studio musicians. They were on almost every song on the radio back in the 70s and 80s individually or collectively whether it was R &B or pop rock each of them were there. If you heard that song "She's a beauty " by the TUBES . Steve Lukather wrote/cowrote that song 🎵. The lead singer is FEE WAYBILL but the chorus of that song ALL the vocals in the chorus of that song is BOBBY KIMBALL.
