Toto with me on bass. 

I agree. I reckon Steve Lukather is one of the most underrated guitarists. He is technically excellent.

Alexandra Arrieche. She is brazilian, born in Rio de Janeiro (like me 😉 ). She has an extensive formation and experience with several renowned music schools and orchestras all over the world. And, of course, she is dazzlingly beautful! 🤩

Yes, he is an incredible vocalist, no autotune here, the real thing! Thanks.

For the past few years Joe has been under the training of an operatic vocal coach. He has warm up regimen before each show that he follows religiously. His voice seems to get stronger every year.

@@paulj.ingram2839 you can really tell how he has improved

I fully agree. His voice and power is incredible and I have the feeling it gets better year by year.

Are we really listening to the same guy? The first thing that struck me when hearing Can't stop loving you is how poor the singing is. Africa is pretty much the same. It's more like yelling the vocals which is sure sign that the voice is gone.

What a great compliment that is!! Thank you Erik!😊🙏🏽

Yes, and don't they look ridiculous?! I wish aging rock stars would have the grace and good sense to either step down or move to performances (and clothes😁) more appropriate to their age.

“Till the end.”❤

@@davidf6326everyone in that audience had a fantastic experience , I don’t know why you are moaning

@@clivemartin320 So I'm not entitled to an opinion, but you are?

*their

I think he just gave up colouring. The absolute greatest.

Thank you 🙏🏽😊

That is very kind! Thank you 😊🙏🏽

Thank you 😊🙏🏽

Thanks, that’s nice to hear! It was a tour of 20 shows, this was the second one. 😊👍🏽

Yes,great pocket.

Wow, Albert Lee is a monster! That was an incredible experience I believe! Thanks 😊

Dankjewel 😊👍🏽👍🏽

@@Roogbass In Nederland hebben we natuurlijk het Metropool Orkest, ook geweldig, maar dit!

@@deetgeluid ja! Metropole is een van de beste orkesten ter wereld!

Yes, that’s really an honour! 😊

And thank you again 😊

Jazeker! Werk al meer dan 20 jaar met deze productie. Blijft fantastisch!

😊🙏🏽

Thank you😊🙏🏽

Thank you, nice to hear that!😊

Yes correct. All other original members, Hungate, Kimball, all 3 Porcaros are either retired, sick or not alive anymore. Everyone that came after are session musicians. Like us. The body of work that Toto did and the members is legendary indeed, unparalleled.

Thanks! Yes I will 😊🙏🏽

That’s great 😊

Thank you very much 🙏🏽😊

Yes i loved it!😊

Thanks, really appreciated 🙏🏽

David Foster! Great!! Must have been a wonderful experience too! 😊🙏🏽

Thank you for the quick reply. Yes,just like you had. BTW...your bass sounds really good! Great time&tone. @@Roogbass

@@user-tm6ry1jy4y thank you! Nothing better than the sound of a bass don’t you think? We have the best job in the world!

Yes I did. Thank you very much😊🙏🏽

That’s a nice description ! 😄

Thanks 😊🤜🏽

Thanks 😊🙏🏽. Yes I’m hidden behind the conductor and the guitar player.

Ja dat was wel een ervaring 😊👍🏽

Thank you😊. Just hard work 🤷🏽‍♂️

Dankje Fon, ja dat was echt een te gekke tour!😊🙏🏽

Thanks 😊👍🏽

Indeed he is one of the best ever!

Thanks Dave! Fijn om te horen 😊👍🏽

2x yes 😊🍻

@@Roogbass he he cool. I like your mixing style.

@@LuiWallentinGttler thank you 😊

Dankje 😊🙏🏽

Thanks 😊🙏🏽

😬😬😬

Thanks Remi 😊🙏🏽

Dankjewel 😊🙏🏽

Thanks Frank 🙏🏽😊

Yes it was a great experience. We play everything with a click track. Same tempo as it’s always played by Toto. So that could be perception.

Ok, I am specifically thinking about this legendary performance. Here the tempo seems to be between 105-110 BPM and grooves immensely better, MO. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RxdePsLIJKs.html @@Roogbass

@@sebrura well I’m biased and of course don’t agree 😉

You know, I keep coming back to this vid. I've turned 100 % on this, It sounds phenomenal! It swings like crazy. Did you do the mixing? Brilliant job. The stereo imaging is insane. @@Roogbass

@@sebrura yes I mixed it. Thanks, great to hear that you like it 😊🤜🏾

Nou en of 😊👍🏽

Jazeker! Ik heb er ook van genoten. 😊🙏🏽

😊👍🏽

Thanks Simon! I’m a bassplayer first. But in 2003 I already was pretty handy in mixing in the box more or less. So I was a lot cheaper then the multi million € studio where they mixed before. So I recorded and mixed this since then. In 2006 the bassplayer who was a really great player but with a drinking problem fell asleep on stage during the Mike Oldfield set. So they asked the year after if I want to try if I fit, it did. So timing is key. Although I regret the death of my predecessor, he was a lovely guy and very musical. I mix dry and mute and unmute the ambience. I also shift it in time and cut lowend to keep everything as clear as possible. I choose a bit more band and less orchestra in this one. Some times it’s the other way round.

😊🙏🏽

I had to google him, don’t know him. But wow, exactly!! 😂😂

Thanks! 🙏🏽 We rehearse 2 days in a studio ‘ish’ environment. Then 2 days run through with the first gig the same evening. The day after broadcast recording like this clip.

@@RoogbassWere you on the chic show from 2004-ish as well? If that was you, I’ve never heard anyone nail Bernard Edwards’ feel like you did.

@@mrufino1 thanks! 😊🙏🏽. That was me indeed, 2007. It was my first show with Night of the Proms. With the drummer from Wham and John Miles on keys.

@@Roogbass that’s awesome! One of the chic singers is a friend of mine and I was asking her about it a few weeks ago, she said that Night of the Proms was an incredible experience. I’m happy you posted, it’s great to know the names of the people in support roles! Bassists make the best engineers and producers.

@@mrufino1 aha, one was called ‘Sylver’, forget the other name. It was a great edition! Send my regards to her 😊

😝😝😝, thanks 😀🙏🏽

Tja, niet veel eigenlijk🤷🏽‍♂️

Thanks! I think I agree. Now doing the broadcast mix for Germany, I’ll check it extra!

Thanks! Alexandra Arrieche.

Ha!! We did miss that! 😊
