TOTO - I'LL BE OVER YOU (TECHNICAL PROBLEM!) Live Rockhal Luxembourg The Best of this concert • TOTO - Live Rockhal Lu... You can see Goz reaction on: • Toto Guitar Tech "Goz"...
For the ones that wanna know which seemed to be the problem here: Those blue "boxes" underneath of Steve's pedalboard are Power Supplies, those in particular are a couple of Strymon Zuma units, which are really good pieces of gear, but you can only imagine how many venues, cities and countries this pedalboard has been delivering in. At first, the automatic response of this excellent Guitar Tech, is to think maybe there’s a problem with the wireless system attached to the green guitar, so the first measure should be to change the guitar attached to another wireless transmiter, but while he's handling the blue guitar to Steve, he looks down and notes the pedalboard is off, or at least half of it, and in exactly 12 seconds, which is astonishing (01:44 - 01:56), he diagnoses the problem: one of the power supply units is dead and every pedal attached to it is off. The speed of this guy locating another unit, disconnecting everything from the old one and hooking up the new one, is also remarkable given the uncomfortable angle and weight of so many pedals. Once the pedals have power again, the signal comes back and everybody cheers for the unsung hero.

What a nightmare, the power supply attached to the bottom of the pedalboard, bad advertisement for Strymon
Thanks for your excellent explanation! I understand Steve Lukather was frustrated but the sound technician deserves a little more credit , the guy is an absolute pro! Well anyway; the problem delivered an inspired guitar solo at the end...
I noticed the same too. This pedalboard has mileage on it and while it’s rare that power units bail out on you, it happens. Gosnell works his magic in absolute warp speed going all in, he saved the day.
Yeah huge props to the tech guy. He had the balls to unplug the pedals and plug them to a new power supply mid song when he could've just pretended he didn't notice what the issue exactly was so he could wait for the song to finish and not have to fix it under pressure. Anyways, idk why Steve needs that spaceship of a pedalboard. The more conncections, the more chances of failing and the more places one needs to check in case of a failure. He's lucky the tech guy spotted the issue right away and fixed the issue fast enough for him to play an outro solo.
This man diagnosed the problem, and switched out the power supply for 7 different pedals on a very complex board. He had the wherewithal to have a spare standing by. (power supplies are finicky in Europe) Thats a guitar tech. He kept a cool head under extreme pressure and got it fixed. That's NOT easy. This is why most people wouldn't last 5 minuets in the live music business. This is also why he is a tech for one of the best players in the business, because he is one of the best techs in the business. It's a hard job, and you have to be laser focused. There are a lot of moving parts. Shit goes wrong. He is a pro.
Technicians deserve respect as much as artist on stage. They are responsable of the show, if you can hear and see your favourites bands, singers, it's because they do their job perfectly. No technicians, no shows !!!
It takes me about a half hour just to get the cables set up for my few pedals, this guy just re-rigged half of a massive pedal board in 12 seconds WHILE HOLDING IT UP...major respect to that tech for makin it look easy
@@kriskris4552 The pedal power unit burned out, Roadie (Guitar Tech), it was no fault! And, he was still very fast in diagnosing and solving! He deserves all the respect! A unidade de alimentação dos pedais queimou, o Roadie (Guitar Tech), não teve culpa alguma! E, ainda foi muitíssimo rápido em diagnosticar e resolver! Ele merece todo o respeito!
@@marciomattos2386 Yes.I respect this tech and what he did "under the fire,at very high pressure". I tried to say,that many celebs dont care,dont understand that unexpected things may happen
I am glad to hear that. I already wanted to comment, that a "thank you" had been nice! Playing 100's of shows myself I have big respect for the technicians who take care of your sound. I mean its stage, not studio. Even a little joke during the "accident" had been welcome. Live is life...
This is one of the most entertaining videos of all time. The look on Lukes face when the guitar craps out... Priceless. And the look on the tech's face when he see's what the problem is. "Oh SHIT" It's the power supply!!!!!! Until you have been in that situation, in front of thousands of people, you can't appreciate it. Great work by both. Real pros.
The Technician was the Star of the Show. Hats off to him. He identified and fixed the problem before the song ended. A simple human being would have crumble under pressure.
Even with an excellent team, the artists are subject to technical problems, the engineer is to be congratulated for being able to reverse the situation!! Toto is an amazing band.👏👏👏
Great job of the tecnicsian. The technical support is the most and vital part of show. This guitar technic have knowledgement for found and fix the problem.
We techs are warriors. The audience doesn't see the constant battles with equipment, logistics, human error and just plain bad luck that we endure sometimes with very little sleep and not enough pay. Thanks, MR. O
I really feel the pressure the roadie feels, I've been there in that situation, it's not fun, but one way or another you have to solve it. Kudos to him.
It cannot be overstated how impressive it is that his guitar tech figured that out AND FIXED IT. Dude should have been a fighter pilot or astronaut being able to think under pressure like that.
@@goz410 Half his pedal board didn't have power. It's not rocket science. You can figure out why a pedal doesn't have power. .. or maybe you can't. That's why this subject is so big to you
Dude! That tech earned his money that night. He did amazing under immense pressure. The song still sounded amazing, even without the guitar. The band and vocal blend was excellent. 🤟🔥
mad respect to the guitar tech 4 solving the issue under immense pressure, also hats off to lukather 4 NOT making a huge deal about it(even tho he would've bn pissed) if the that was Yngwie malmsteen he would of put on a soap opera lol
It’s a true testament to what a professional musician he is! Throughout ALL the technical difficulties he held it together. He never missed a single damn beat on that tambourine!! Good job man! 👍👍
That face 😮 I have never seen Luke look like that. He was obviously and visibly mad on the way out of the stage. The guitar tech did excelent job and I hope Luke will be rational and able to controll his anger because the Tech guy did his job in a supper professional way. That guitar solo in the end made up for all the troubles. Just unrepeatable 👍👍👍👍👍
@@DoM_On_TouR thanks for sharing that in your channel 🙏. So much respect for Steve how he handled it after all the trouble and honoring the technician in public 🙌. Respect and Professionalism at 💯🔥
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mrTim27CRHU.html este es el vídeo de lo mejor de ese concierto. En el minuto 9:31 Luke pide un aplauso para él y el público se lo da 👏👏👏
Respect to tech guys. I've been playing for over 20 years and have experienced such tech mishaps. Well done to the tech dude for troubleshooting that in such a short time.
Bravo to Steve's guitar tech, bravo! Being nervous and confused is not an option for this guys, they are always focused on what they great at specially when it comes to this situations and I salute each and everyone of them heros behind the scenes, from the sound engineer, to the lights engineer and to all the technicians, riggers and roadies. Concerts is not possible without this people. I'm a sound engineer myself and I know the feeling of pressure when something goes wrong in middle of a show. Again, bravo.......
Amazing levelheaded response to diagnose and fix the issue during the song. I would have looked at that pedalboard, shaken my head, plugged him straight into the amp, and walked off stage.
This tech shoul organize masterclasses in problemsolving. Amazing guy. To detect and solve the issue in less then duration of the song...man...true professional
Toda vez que assisto isso, me emociono. Que trabalho lindo desse guitar tech. Que competência, seriedade. Tecladista faz o solo maravilhoso que seria da guitarra. Steve volta arrebentando no solo final. Tudo espetacular…
All respect to a professional technician and of course to Steve and the professional band to continue as if nothing had happened, today's young people would probably leave the stage 😊
My heart, and next beer, go to that absolute GOAT of a guitar tech!!! I know Steve didn’t think so at the time, but anything can happen, this could’ve been so much worse and considering, had the problems fixed and Steve sounding amazing for that outdo solo 😎👏🔥🎶
There was a big applause for the guitar tech from the audience during and afterwards as well. That engineer is amazing and I truely believe that Steve knows and appreciates it! Of course as a musician you´re not happy, if this happening, but he was really thankful for this memorable action by his guitar tech. Afterwards he talked about how important the crew is for a rock band. Without the crew there would be no music! Thanks DoM for capturing and sharing this! That moment was one of serveral highlights of that show! One of the greatest bands of all time with obviously one of the best crews! Chapeau!
Wow! Thats a real guitar tech! Working his ass of for getting back the sound as fast as possible! Remeber, without the crew it would have been a pretty miserable live concert!🤣 Thums up for that guy👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Sound guy deserves a standing ovation…& a raise. Extraordinary. He was flying as fast as Luke’s fingers…faster. Worth his weight in gold. Songs should be written about him. Hear, HEAR!! 👏🏼 👏🏼
Impressive! The technician solving the problem in the middle of the song and Steve playing as nothing had happen. Young people who listen today's poor music can't even imagine what they are missing. Great Toto and its crew.
Techs don’t get as much credit as they deserve. I’m not one, but I do play guitar in a band and if there’s anything I’ve learned, it’s that failures happen and how you handle is a difficult process. It starts with the simple solution (new guitar), but to figure out the issue is a failed power supply, to get a replacement out there and switch it over that fast shows this guys skills. When he’s switching guitars you can see he is still looking for other sources of the problem before even trying the first solution. It’s a lot harder than it looks. Esp with as much gear as there is on this stage.
If everything goes as planned, you won't see them, but if there is any kind of technical problem on stage, you will see them resolving wathever the problem. Great profressionals and great people!
I´m a pro FOH engineer and i feel exactly what that tech guy going thru. I had a similar situation. Moments after the show began (4000 People) a big bang happend thru the speakersystem and no sound anymore. Well that was a challenge. It tooked me 3 mins to find out the whole Stageboxsystem, the stagebox it self and the DANTE network crashed, completely. No chance! The only chance was to build back the Mixing desk on FOH, put it stage left, plug all cables into the desk, set the gains approx the same as they where and mix the show on an ipad! I hate mixing on pad, but this times i was happy to save the show that way. (No fun with 50 Inputs) PS: I wasn´t that hectic. That brings nothing. Keep calm :-) But that GTR tech did an amazing job!! Like all pro. technicians in our biz. Most underated people.
