Toto - Africa | COUNTDOWN (1990)

[@ghostofthefuture]

Was this Dutch pop show the coolest program in the 80s?! So many awesome performances.

[@Elwin-w3v]

Yes. Dutch were known for being huge fans and collectors of music. Never really about making music.

[@luisfab3819]

I don't know how they managed to turn perfection into a song. Absolutely amazing, exciting, grandiose.

[@gerardgmz]

This band is so awesome, their instruments don't even need to be turned on 😂

[@GisherJohn24]

It's strange that they lip synced considering Jean Michael Byron is singing Bobby Kimbal's chorus which is extremely odd. They were probably forced to use the original recording for quality purposes. Solid Gold made performers lip sync all the time. I'm sure Bobby was like what the heck when he saw this.

[@TheMisterGriswold]

@@GisherJohn24 There are a lot of "this is bs" looks from the band. Very odd.

[@minrem7534]

I thought so too, their just on lip sync

[@83n80y]

Not to burst your bubble but most of the songs on Countdown are lip synced. Been listening to this playlist and there's only been 2 songs out of 20, that sound live. Still fun to put faces to the music. Plus, some of the songs in the playlist I've never heard but are great songs!

[@geoffk777]

This is probably not a real live performance. The Yamaha SY77 could possibly produce all of these sounds, but it would be a stretch. And when he does the solo, he doesn't seem to touch any buttons or change the patch, but it changes dramatically anyway. It's possible that he is controlling synth modules off stage and somebody else switched the sound. But it's more likely that they're just lip synching.

[@mercster]

"Probably"? lulz

[@MVortex2]

Yes of course, one keyboard for all that? Except for maybe a light mix of the lead vocals this is 100% being performed over a track. Hell, the song even faded out at the end...lol.

One of the tightest live band ever playing playback......I don't get it

[@jaggass]

Toto appeared on Solid Gold in 1987 with Joe Williams miming Bobby Kimball's vocals on Africa. Jean Michel Byron didn't really fit in the band at all. Toto couldn't get rid of him fast enough.

[@mheydymistou6929]

Jean Michel was more soul music. I do really love the songs he did with Toto (love has the power, out of love, can you hear what i'm saying, animal)

[@ObsoleteGamercom]

I always love how this is the same band that made the music for the 80s Dune movie (and you can hear it).

[@serafindevisfruto7789]

Deze muziekstyle is weer helemaal terug yachtrock

[@Mesmancer]

Een bezetting die maar kort bestaan heeft. Zanger Jean Michael Byron (die door de platenmaatschappij naar voren was geschoven als vervanger van Joseph Williams) viel niet bij iedereen even goed. De leden van Toto en vooral Steve Lukather waren zijn gedans, divagedrag en "Michael Jackson on Crack shit" snel beu. Alleen op het album "past to Present 1977-1990 nam hij vier nummers met Toto op, krap een jaar later werd hij ontslagen.

[@rolandw3868]

Klopt! En de reden dat Joseph eruit stapte was vanwege een cocaine verslaving? Nu gaat het top met hem.

[@Mesmancer]

@@rolandw3868 Hij begint wel steeds meer op zn vader te lijken. Zie ook de covid versie van Africa van vorig jaar.

[@ericgelders]

En dit is maar een playback opname, maar kan ik groove-meister Jeff Porcaro ook eens goed ZIEN 😄! Wat een drummer is/was dat, ook met Boz Scaggs en zovele anderen. Hele band altijd te gek gevonden. Als ik me goed herinner, was Byron als suggestie door Sony aangedragen. Heb Lukather in een interview ooit horen zeggen dat ze daar idd snel spijt van hadden...
