He does play them. In fact he plays them in a clearer fashion than Porcaro played them live. His snare is tuned more sharply than Jeff's was , so they are more audible. By the way, it's a myth that drummers agree it's one of the more difficult shuffles. In my opinion it isn't . I know plenty of them that are more difficult and quite a few other drummers i've spoken with agree.
I agree. So underrated. Millions of album sales, sold out world wide tours. International acclaim. Maybe you need to look up what under rated means you chopper
Not exactly the most underrated, but not as appreciated as they deserve to be. With great musicians like David Paich, Jeff porcaro and his brothers Steve and Mike, with great hits like Angel Dont Cry, Holyanna,Pamela, till the end, and the next most popular song I'll be Over You
UNderrated, you need to look at the definition as Daniel Simmons suggests. They were greatly under-appreciated in the States because of the Rolling Stones Magazine and the radio stations, but they had a huge following in Europe and Japan. IN the US they may not have been appreciated collectively, but individually there were none better. OVer 90% of the worlds population has heard a song that one or more of the band members of Toto were directly involved in. No other group of musicians can ever make that claim. Toto is the best all round band
Yeah. You said it. It's kind of pathetic the trash they pump out these days with 'artists' who couldn't hold a note without autotune if their life depended on it.
Though in all fairness you cant bash ALL modern music because truthfully there are many great modern songs, but truthfully these were the better times when they actually used instruments
Argle Bargle autotune isn’t a talent replacer. If you’re stupidly out and use autotune you’ll sound like a robot. Modern singers can better than they’re given credit for. Blame the record labels for wanting everything perfectly in tune and perfectly in time.
No words can be enough for these young folks. Sound mix is off the charts excellent. Drummer is the man. He is in the pocket big time with his roles done so smoothly it's scary. What a band, what an idea for a show. Oh yea, guitar player is a monster player with great tones from his amp.
These kids are fortunate to have a musical outlet like this if they choose not to go original. I did not have this kind of chance in my day. Great job guys and girls. Hat's off to the people that put these musicians together. Nice tricky ending. That drummer, is in DEEP concentration. That Lead Guitarist, must have sat down and practiced, since he was 2. Awesome!
Just incredible vocal range by both lead singers, and your drummer does the late Jeff Porcaro proud. Impossible that there's a better cover out there anywhere.
He's not playing Porcaro's dead notes and the hi hat is much more choppy. The singers are doing great, but like pretty much everything from the classic rock show, it is sorely lacking in personality.
If everyone was as good as Jeff, Jeff wouldn't be considered good. This guy doesn't suck. He may not play it exactly the same as Jeff, but he does a damn fucking good job of it. And it's entertaining. Not impressed, hit that back button and high brow your asses to some other post that makes you feel better.
yes indeed. He allowed me to enjoy Freebird, prob first time ever. and "All Along the Watch Tower" smokes!! world-class group of accomplished musicians and vocalists:ALL!!
The drummer is fantastic. Jeff Porcaro's legendary Rosanna shuffle is consider an iconic drum beat. This drummer nails it. The vocals are great too, though Bobby Kimball's high notes are so distinctive that I don't think anyone could truly replicate the sound...still, a really, really great cover of this fantastic song.
I am sure that all the Original authors of your covers would be amazed and proud of your Performance. That's impressive!!!!!!!!! Thanks a million !!!!!!
These guys just redefined what doing cover songs is about. Amazing, the original artists will be glad for sure their songs being served with justice & some good creative flair.
These guys really do a great job. It's obvious that they have studied Toto's live performances of this song. No cover can be spot on but they actually put their own stamp on it which is the way a cover is done well (making it your own).
Watched this and the other clip over and over again. The energy is infectious. Brilliant. However no one seems to have noticed the addition of the arpeggios, organ and brass bits. Must be done from the desk and all playing to a click track. Anyone ??
Rapaz, este grupo é muito bom. Olha que essa música é muito rica, muito bem trabalhada e esse cover ficou maravilhoso. Parabéns a todo o grupo: vocais e instrumentos. Fiquei fã. Já vou me inscrever.
Ik heb dit filmpje heel vaak opgezet en beluisterd en ik ben een enorme fan van Toto en wat ik hier hoor is een enorme brok topmuzikanten van de bovenste plank. Deze uitvoering vind ik vanaf het begin tot het einde BETER klinken dan het origineel vooral de zangstemmen van de 2 voorzangers en zeker niet te vergeten de koorzang en de begeleiding van de band klinken uiterst perfect. De solo's van zowel de gitarist als de toetsenman klinken fenomenaal. Ik maak uit respect voor jullie een zeer diepe buiging en hopelijk blijven jullie op deze manier muziek maken. Ga zo door. Groetjes van Rob Monteiro toetsenist bij Re-Vibe, A Team band en The Limitz.
I've never been a Toto fan, BUT I love how this band does this song! I've never once sought out a Toto video on youtube, but I've watched this band perform this song at least 8 times. I just adore them, their sound, their style. A terrific band when they can make you like a song you were completely indifferent to before.
If Paich/Lukather/Porcaro decide to have their band name still floating (TOTO: Live 20##) while they're retired, they should consider most of the members on this cover band. They sound great.
