People. This is NATIVE 1080 High Definition from... 1991!

[@cysper479]

lol watch Green Day's 1990 PVHS Show that's more look like 1080p HD as this one

[@retrocysper3709]

Bro it's too HD for 1991. Let alone 1998 WWF TV has no match to this quality.

[@civlyzed]

@@retrocysper3709 This is native 1080i from the Sony HDVS system which was new technology in 1991. Cheers!

[@drlight6677]

Television video quality back then was much better than what most people think, especially younger people who didn't grow up during that era and think video quality was crappy 240p running at a super low framerate, as that's what almost all uploads of things from back then are since uploaders pretty much have to rely on super old vhs tapes and couldn't upload them at 60fps before youtube changed it's framerate policy around 2016. This video is pretty much standard video quality for live events from back then.

[@acecodemaster1337]

​@@drlight6677 Yeah a lot of old concert footage was shot on 16mm film which can be rescanned and uploaded in HD. What makes this special is that it was shot on Sony's first HD camera system and was recorded to analog tape. It never caught on because the consumer tvs and broadcast technology couldn't transmit and reproduce full HD for about 10 more years when people could afford hdtv's and it became the norm.

[@Closetothecomatorium]

Jeff Porcaro's groove and feel is totally outstanding

I just cried on another vid before stumbling onto your comment, here. ❤️❤️

[@angeladcruzmen24]

Such talented musicians. Jeff and mike were taken too soon. Such a shame. I'd say that this song is one of the best in the history of mankind. The 70s and 80s were the golden era of music. Such a pleasure to hear this. ❤❤❤

[@nk56950]

Those background singers were AWESOME! No Bobby Kimball here, but this is one of the best live versions of this song I have ever heard. could this song be THE greatest of all time? LOL!!

[@vladimirstefanovic8384]

I'm fascinated how the public is so nice and friendly, people in front sitting,singing, clapping.. People on back singing and dancing,no ones rough to get in front line, it was really nice to be there ^^

[@BassmanII]

RIP Jeff and Mike Porcaro

[@drumr72]

I have had a bizarre dream in which I get to heaven and Jeff and Mike are jamming with Warren Zevon - I get to watch and then Jeff hands me his sticks and says "have at it brother!". Talk about amazing dream huh? It was very much like the end of that movie with Seth Rogen and those guys' - up in heaven. Very almost city like, there is a music hall and it is HUGE. Let's all hope eh!

[@kenlabowe]

I was lucky enough to hang out with Mike and Jeff after this concert, at the Bar des Musiciens - I went to high school with them, but had not seen them in years! It was the 5th of July. The next day, I also was with Toto at the home of Claude Nobs, founder of the Montreux Jazz Festival

[@kenlabowe]

@Mike Porcaro I knew Mike in high school (we graduated the same year 1973) and you know he has a widow and kids, so please consider the potential harm of pretending to be him!

[@BrunoMarquezin]

This is a FUCKING backing vocals... one of the best who i heard

[@Acesar2012]

Cara tava procurando um comentário sobre isso agora...que linha de baixo é essa?? Não entendo nada de musica, só ouço mesmo e nitidamente percebe-se que um baixo fora do comum. Não sei se a musica que privilegia o baixo mas é assim fora do comum mesmo.

[@rafanj824]

This was filmed only a year before Jeff passed away... RIP.

Yeah... it is a shame. Cocaine can be a real drag. You can bet he got the best of the best, more than likely. Peruvian red flake. Marching powder. Goofy dust... Mother of pearl. The perquisites can equal the liabilities.

[@Samantha-vlly]

This live is freaking crispy🔥 One of my favorite Africa live version.

[@KathyBurns-q4j]

Thank you David paich for writing my favorite song

[@dalejr183]

3:46 triplets on drums must be Jeff Porcaro and only he did triplets at the break nobody has done that since. He was a very talented drummer up there with Bonzo kinda like the halftime shuffle in Rosana I think he was inspired by "Fool In The Rain" for Rosana on the drum track and made his on unique thing

[@MrBamcito]

Keith Moon did triplets all time before

[@CallMeCygnus]

The best live version I've seen so far as they are actually singing chorus!

[@MrFacePeck]

They used playback only during the 2002-2007 period (I guess because Bobby couldn’t hit the notes consistently anymore), every version outside of that period the chorus was done without playback.
