The bassist is Mono Neon! He is a musical genius.

[@normanlovesirsaxalot2991]

Wow.Hear his lines here !!!

[@hejsel7360]

They all are musical genius

[@juanjavierm]

Has got a beautiful bass tone!

[@eagleflies8681]

Mononeon is one of the best bassists in the world. Period.

[@Behine.DeChilis]

I've been to plenty of Labor Day parties....don't recall ever seeing MonoNeon doing a driveway jam. This is nuts.

[@kellerc73]

I love how lowkey this is

[@Willardboogurb]

For real what was this ???? Lol

[@guitarplayernoteworthy2857]

Mono...lightn’ up and smile sometimes, so we know that you are truly human.

[@fredizzle4251]

I know what you mean bro. What ever goes on inside that head its working.

[@siyobetrobet2768]

it'll be super awkward to have him jamming with Jesus Molina...

[@keldholse618]

If somebody like these dudes showed up in my neighbourhood in denmark, I would be flying in wings the following week😍

[@jazzhippie3878]

0:37... That bass got pocket!!!! criminally underated transition. Mono spazzing with pocket. Agg!

[@hardymyfriendsknow2927]

So cool to see these guys just jamming around and having some fun!

[@JaimieSiegle]

Wow this is the one of the greatest things I have ever seen !!!!!!!

[@normanlovesirsaxalot2991]

I agree..wow

[@robbiesmith9318]

in mono neon`s playing,i can hear a strong anthony jackson influence shining through.....

[@normanlovesirsaxalot2991]

Yep

False belief of sound teaveling into your eardrums.......

[@funklover24]

Robert "Sput" Searight and Dominique Xavier Taplin will be members of the upcoming line-up of Toto. Looking forward to the next generation of Toto! 👍👌

[@JaimieSiegle]

yes! i suppose you could say it was a little foreshadowing ... 😜

[@simongravett9555]

The videos are out.

[@jaycareaga9929]

Xavier has been touring with Toto since 2018.

[@rnm723]

thats a dope ass looking neighbourhood right there

Damn! I wish I was at that block party!!! Nice video!

[@danobrien9925]

Mono Neon is extraordinary

[@CooperDrums]

That was awesome! Love this song, and of course, love their rendition of it!

[@adanluisLIVE]

the bass line starting at 3:07 wow

[@normanlovesirsaxalot2991]

Beautiful bass lines

[@chadstep]

Neighbors: “Oh, nothin, just some band on the sidewalk. Mono Neon? Never heard of him.”

[@infoscholar5221]

That's a fine jam!

[@Willardboogurb]

I guarantee you most these guys didn’t have to “learn” this song , just know it by ear and have heard it enough times to hash it out. Love musicians like this 🔥

[@Calbear94]

X and Sput are amazing in TOTO. They killed it with Journey. TOTO has two months off then head to Europe, but no slowing down for the Ghost Note members who have their own stand there this month!

That swing underneath all this. Heard MonoNeon with Ghost Note last Sunday. What a musician

[@marcusrouse9990]

great video all of those guys are legends

[@user-qj7gl9nr8l]

ghost note is da best

[@GreenCheesePizza]

Xavier actually toured with Toto in the past. I think there is a nice video on here somewhere.

[@jaycareaga9929]

Yes in 2018 and 2019.

[@LoneSoundMagazine]

he is back on tour with them! sput is as well!

[@JoeMicroscope]

I wish I lived next door. Unfortunately I live in New Zealand. I might just move!

[@cursedswordsman]

3:00 onwards mono neon goes off

[@pitt6766]

just shows how good Toto were

[@Calbear94]

Were? You mean ARE! AND Sput and Xavier have provided a real shot in the arm!

3:14 was rly sick bassline...

Video after video I keep thinking Mononeon is the best bass player ever but each time I realise he's actually better than that ! 😳😳😳😳😱😱😱😱

[@ManelRuivo]

I want to be their neighbour. really.

[@le-cute-cat]

At least you have a big fan

[@mathameline]

Now Robert sput plays with toto 😂

[@valentingregoire920]

le bassiste est un clone du perroquet d'amazonie!

[@frankfertier34]

c'est bien pire: le perroquet ne joue pas à gauche une basse de droitier. si tu cherches un peu autour de Mononeon tu seras surpris: comment peut on jouer avec des lunettes noires et un masque ! ce mec est un petit génie; il a une production infernale dans des genres très différents; il s'appelle Dywane Thomas est autodidacte et jouait déjà avec les plus grands à même pas 20 ans; juste avant de quitter Berklee pour le MI. c'est un incontournable de la musique d'avant garde d'aujourd'hui, KZbin est blindé de vidéos de lui.

[@Worshipermog]

y'all should've hired a singer... but great arrangement/groove tho

[@frankfertier34]

playback? why, but whyyyyy????

[@frankfertier34]

@@stobe_music first Taplin on keyboards 0.11: Searight dressed in black, 0.12 Taplin; 0.31: tambourine on the hi hat, 0.40: no more tambourine; 1.26 drummer and bassplayer stop playing ; 2.22: image does not fit with the drum fill (slow motion),; 2.24: the return of the tambourine ; 2.59: tambourine goes definitely on holidays, 3.32: drummer stops playing though the snare keeps on popping; 3.44" the guitarist does not seem to bother with the chords; that's Whyyyyyy ????

[@thijsvmilligen]

No playbacking just bad video editing

[@frankfertier34]

@@stobe_music I rather think there are at least two captions of this tune with a single camera, then they tried (not that hard) to make ends meet and the resust is really dishonest for the dudes actually playing. As far as I can hear what was happening, Taplin did a poor job: the voice is not up to the standard; agree? (excuse my sloppy french disclaiming)
