[@Stevo_Drums]

[@bluespig1]

[@Nate_Higgins]

If I could even be 1/10th as cool as Kelter I'd be super good with that.

[@FirebrandVOCALS]

A panel OF REAL Musicians

[@nickbryan2587]

Steve Lukather (the god) says Toto my ex band. That makes me sad but he said the same in 2008 so I hope it's not true.

[@jadipeperzak4034]

Yeah... Caught that one too

[@brianruyack7632]

I think legal issues with the Porcaros have shut down the Toto name.

[@Boyanbo]

Now we just need for Luke to start a channel and life gets 50% better

[@thump9957]

Dom, I am 57 and in my lifetime I have never seen a better interviewer/moderator than you. Your enthusiasm is infectious, your respect for your interviewees all while providing direction and flow is the best. But an even more pronounced quality you bring is perspective. Your mention of the climate in the country after JFK - VERY astute observation that no one else has ever mentioned! Also, the chicken being born pregnant! I'm using that. Lastly, the legends on this panel are awesome, and they have you to thank because I am buying each of their books. All the best Dom. Thanks.

[@TheSessionsPanel]

Thanks so much for watching & sharing our channel! Dom's a true asset to our organization, to help enrich Artists worldwide!

[@user-fu2lh7up2i]

​@@TheSessionsPanel Yes Dom is the best, so passionate, energetic, positive and truly interested & interesting!

[@ChromaticHarp]

Dom is the Man!

[@drommie4396]

wow brilliant interview-kudo's to all.

[@abwdoc]

What an unbelievable gathering of talent, wit, memories, and humor. Thank you so much. By the way, I agree...get Luke’s book in audio version, read by Luke himself. Very funny and entertaining....

[@bazgolin1036]

Don, I found you through Lee Sklar and have enjoyed every Sessions interview I’ve seen so far. This one was spectacular. You bring such great energy and enthusiasm to the table that you seem to get more out of your subjects than they probably thought they were going to give. Kudos!

[@konarain]

I used to be a Joe Porcarro drum student..Jeff was there in '75-76! I'm friends with Steve P on Facebook, but I wonder if I can get in touch w Ringo..I've played his Toms on my friend's drumset, after they cut 'Rikki' as a trio! I live up in the Kona Rainforest and need some help as my cabin melts into the mist! Just some sanding and painting! Bradley Goodman on Facebook.. Joleen & Steve are friends..(to find me.. Alohas

[@albertbouwer]

Nice moderation Dom. I'am sure you didn't know how that was going to go. Very entertaining.

[@dmlevitt]

loved the entire interview. thank you for all this. love and respect to you all. nice Beatles stuff. peace and love (Ringo)

[@organjoe]

Awesome stuff here !! - Dom, love your upbeat attitude and your ability to keep everything together and moving along in a positive way when working with a "crowd". Keep 'em coming PLEASE!!! THANK YOU!

[@TheSessionsPanel]

Thanks so much for watching & sharing so we can bring more!

[@mikearmentrout7416]

Does Jim Keltner ever age? That dude is almost 80 and looks like he did in the Steely Dan era.

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

it looks like you did back during the traveling wilburys era.

[@Barry101er]

Rock n Roll keeps you young

[@stratjed]

jims secret is he is married to his highschool girlfreind and he is from tulsa ok. tulsa was the real center of music away from the coasts and london all the music was influenced by tulsa.

[@jonathangriesy4652]

THAT! THAT was a great watch! Thanks Dom, for bringing these legends together!

[@brianmurphy7962]

Thanks guys! Just great!

[@endoau]

Thank you for the video. ✌️

[@jeffreyalexander7504]

Steve Lukather joke about Lee Sklar's lips was pretty funny! Dom, you keep getting better at this, you Sir have a special skill as a communicator. Thanks. I've kept up with Lee as he would post quite a bit on KZbin. Chick Corea (another contributor the the sessions) has also been very active on youtube. I really have enjoyed these beautiful vignettes, so thanks Lee! You've been very generous. I'm sure other artists have done this as well. This was a great idea! Jim Keltner, I play drums as well. I've always loved your sound on drums. But who hasn't! You blokes cheer up!!!!

[@charleskinsey2141]

GREAT PANEL ,,ENJOYED THE HANG WHILE I BUILT MU SHELVES FOR MY PA AND STEREO NEXT TO MY 2 50WATT AMP HEADS AND TRIED TO PLAN OUT MY PELAL RACK IN MY LITTLE NO RULES MOTEL ROOM LOL KEEP ON ROCKING BOYS ,

[@sammyvh11]

Lee Sklar is a giant in the music industry. He's like on 75% of rock and pop the last 45 years.

[@victormendez8811]

Don!! Thank you very much for getting tis fenomenal group of amazing music royalty together!! This was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

[@karenmilovich3088]

Thank God we have opportunities like this to stay connected to music, since we can’t see live shows. These stories are priceless. Thanks!💜👍🏻🤘🏼

[@ivanisrael4442]

To see Lee Luke Jim and especially Lib all in the same hang! That was magical thank you Dom.

[@SuperBab21]

wow ..all legends ...and Dom 's guidance as a host ..jesus ..you cannot get better than that

[@tinataylor1896]

We need more songs like Steve Lukather's Run to Me. We need to bring back Beatles style music and the music of the 50's, 60's and 70's. Those were a time when music ment something and made you smile. No more music and songs that sound angry and make a person want to hurt people. No more music that degrade people.

[@scottvelardo700]

LOVE YOU GUYS!! Thanks for sharing this conversation! I chose drums because of Billy Joel’s Glass Houses album - so many different rhythms and dynamics in that record, and the “drumkit falling down stairs” sound of “Close to the Borderline” had me hooked! Toto songs have been in constant rotation in my car for months now and I enjoy them more every time they repeat. And it’s impossible to count how many times I’ve found out (eventually) that either Lee Sklar or Jim Keltner played on recordings that just knocked me out. It’s almost like, “well this is good, so it must be these guys!” What a great vibe in this discussion as well as in all your music. Thanks again.

[@pippotones]

A bunch of great artist :-))

[@suzannemorissette]

Such a great interview Dom, and I could listen to Keltner all day, such wisdom. Great message from all of them. Paul: "be kind, be focused (and so important) call your friends. Thank you.

[@drumusic333]

Excellent question, Dom....about today's hope coming out of this pandemic....excellent consideration and reference to the Beatles after the Kennedy assassination from the prior year.

[@sergio_m]

AMAZING panel. Thanks Dom!

[@colinness375]

This was simply outstanding. Thank you. The love, respect, passion and enthusiasm were palpable. Dom's masterful moderation and the insightful contribution by Paul enhanced this further.

[@arceneaux777]

That was awesome - thank you

[@yurolson]

Bob Dylan’s release a few months ago about Kennedy assassination. Very interesting....I guess we need to be grateful for daily bread...

[@PeteN_2]

This collective chat opens the door for many more similar virgil gatherings . What a treat to have the greats talking about the present state of the music industry etc . Keep 'em coming ! Fabulous stuff . For Liberty .....your inventive drumming on the '' Just The Way You Are '' track from Billy Joel fitted the song perfectly and was and is legendary .

[@TheSessionsPanel]

We agree and appreciate your comments & sharing with others to help us continue to grow & Enrich Artists everywhere!

[@kwnorton5834]

Great to see y’all together. But beware musicians have been using this hiatus well. Never knock insomnia and isolation as stimuli to for creativity, lol.

[@Beatledave7]

Loved it... thank you so much... this really inspired a lot of hope!

[@philip2750]

Thank you for a most interesting and insightful interview.

[@2lbs1lb]

"Human life is not left or right. " - Luke, our ICU nurse daughter thanks you. Her ICU has been slammed. The COVID-related sorrow is beyond words. The music... that's what helps carry us through all of this.

[@pquin]

Give our love and respect to your daughter!!

[@tinataylor1896]

Please tell your daughter thank you. Her hard work and the hard work of those who habe worked non stop hasn't gone unnoticed. May this pandemic end soon.

[@2lbs1lb]

@@tinataylor1896Thank you so much. Hard to describe here in writing, but the impact of COVID on our front-liners (we're a medical family) is heavy and seemingly never-ending. Programs like THIS one... sometimes it just helps to see that people like our daughter are in their thoughts. We've grown up supporting musicians and the music community, so to see a wonderful show like this brings the circle of compassion into full view. Again, thank you! - Rob and the entire Rutz Fam

[@rk41gator]

"We must recreate the music industry"! What a quote. That is what 'Distrubed' is saying in their video of Simon and Garfunkel's 'Sound of Silence'. Musicians and music are being destroyed by a music industry that no longer cares about the art, only the money. The message and creativity is losing out to the certainty of a not taking a risk.

[@DaveDamageDrums]

That was one of the best interviews I've ever seen. Great panel and great job Dom. I ended up watching the whole thing, like it was hanging out with old friends! Loved the pure joy everyone had talking about The Beatles and music. Fantastic!

[@TheSessionsPanel]

Wow, thanks!

[@jamesbuonassisi9741]

This was awesome! Love all these guys!

[@beckmillan]

I so needed to hear this. Thank you.

[@JeffDaytonMusic]

Superb panel, Thanks Dom! I soaked all of it up right to the end and enjoyed the stories and perspective. We're all in such uncharted territory and it was great to hear these good people say the same thing and discuss how they're dealing with it. It's surprisingly the same as what those of us in Nashville are doing - finding ways to stay active and sharing the love. Beatles side story: in my first band, our keyboard player and drummer (both age 11) got to see them at Met Stadium in Minneapolis. I was so jealous!

[@ChicoMiceliChannel]

[@tubularbill]

What a wonderful interview panel. Legends!

[@sgommerable]

GREAT session

[@stevehatfield3485]

Thanks for bringing this greatness to us, Dom. Gents, you're all amazing in your own right. When Liberty brought up No Reply, I remembered the first time I heard Ringo hitting his kick and crash cymbal together on the 3-and of "I nearly died" and "no reply". That sound was and still is absolutely amazing. My favorite song by The Beatles for a long time after hearing it.

[@michaelmcgannon5588]

Dom, What an uplifting 47 minutes you've orchestrated! There's a good reason that each is at the pinnacle of their profession. Humanity joined with dedication to music. Gentleman, Thank You! It was pure joy! Mike McGannon

[@TheSessionsPanel]

We appreciate your support! Thanks for watching & sharing!

[@Kuromilover2014]

The Beatles walked on the Ed Sulivan show today if there was one and it would not even be close. You would have to be crazy crazy good. There are so many things going on in 2020. Iphone, Ipads, TV, Xbox, Playstation, Android, ect ect ect. Back then people were lucky to have a TV. So it was hey here are the Beattles lets watch them cause, uh thats all we got. LOL. I may be off. But I think thats the problem way way too much going on with our heads in a phone.

[@jhall6926]

Thanks Guys..we are all in the same boat.....nada means nothing......van fudge reference..keep me hanging on ..sweet ya...👌

[@DavonBertoli]

I know Lib Devitto speaks about "No reply" but I would say that 99% of their songs are carefully written, and composed (don't forget George Martin) I can name a few, like the night before, Ticket to ride, Nowhere man, I am a loser, eight days a week, or even hard days night, the changes are exceptionally iconic

[@dldave1978]

If you haven’t watched yet, check out Lee’s KZbin channel. I love his daily talks, insights and music. You gotta check it out. What a great panel with a bunch of legends !

[@andrewfetterley1933]

I love all of you guys so much! You have inspired me so much. But Steve you are worth 100m so I might suggest stop whining so much! there are artist's still trying!

[@mcolon5150]

Very real. Thanks

[@geofftefl]

Great discussion by several industry legends, hopefully a new direction can emerge from the collective wisdom from these giants.

[@odaydrums]

This is SO good! I have played 6 gigs since March. And every gig felt special I will say that.

Wish they'd ask Jim K the location to this fountain of youth he's been guzzling from. That big freak of nature is looking fresh as a daisy.

He'll yeah Steve

[@budmuffin3841]

I like the music of 1955-1983 the best and it has to do with all the factors of each time period that I call “incubator of creativity”.

[@zain3434]

excellent !! much love to all !!! stay safe

[@drummaman1]

One of the smartest things to happen in this panel, aside from the legendary bassist, guitarist, and drummers, is the inclusion of a music business LAWYER to the discussion. Nice work, gentlemen. Stay safe and all the best!

[@pquin]

Thanks! It helps that all of these guys are my friends. The mission of the Sessions is to inspire, enrich and educate. The importance of understanding your rights especially in an industry undergoing such turmoil is vital! Thanks for watching - and thanks for commenting. It is certainly an honor to be in the company of such legends!

[@cl3520]

Those lips man ha ha

[@Flash023]

The Beatles played folk chords and added in a rock and roll blues beat. Then they have the talent and Paul brought so much stage presence and talent, what energy

[@EricThievon]

Thanks Dom for this great interview from so great players. Be safe.
