Toto - Drag Him To The Roof (Live in Paris 2007)

[@dangerken32]

Caught them in March 2023, Steve still plays guitar better than ANYONE in the business and the band is so freakin tight. Missing lots of Porcaros but man what a show. Toto is one of the best bands to do it live!

[@alessandroferrarini1321]

Nobody wants to comment on Simon Phillips's performance? He's playing Drums like a monster without forgetting the great Jeff Porcaro , Simon has a Fantastic Style, he can creates a marvelous groove in each song of Toto !

[@drummerxx1]

Agree, Simon Phillips is my all time favorite drummer. The drumming of this whole concert is outstanding and thought-out!

[@affiliatemarketingtraining]

Such precision in his drumming, eh bro?!

[@russelthurgate6618]

[@headkickko609]

Simon's drumming doesn't need commenting, it speaks for itself. If you have problems with his drumming, you are either deaf, dumb or jealous.

[@stanleynowak9325]

@@universalmeditation8631 , I agree but Simon is just more than an engineer. He is a world class producer too!

[@andreacercola]

Musica maestro,che spettacolo stupendo,lunga vita ai TOTO,compresi David Paich,Josep Williams e ovviamente i tre Porcaro!!!❤

[@minus11000]

Simon Phillips is the best drummer I have ever heard.

[@chevelle6268]

I think Simon was absolutely fantastic. He’s really a great drummer. He’s not replacing anyone. He’s bringing his own special sauce to the table. He’s really a great fit with everyone here. They are a cohesive team.

[@dawnpoint]

Maybe not the most "authentic Toto" lineup, but still a group of world-class musicians layin' it down like very few can. Amazing.

[@johncorners2594]

Well, it's the most talented lineup for sure.....imo

[@kevinharrah2260]

Yeah well if you're talking about an authentic toto lineup, i assume we all know THAT'S not possible ehh? Glad we have what we have. Right?

[@nevigo5519]

One of the greatest live bands.Hands down.

[@racerdude888]

Yup!

[@1thaleb]

I've seen Zeppelin, Purple, Queen, Santana, Tull, but never TOTO. Seems to me like they would have been number 1, just from watching this live performance. Maestros and Virtuosos - 6 of them right there in front of you. Unique........ the songs are superb too

[@deborabielik6017]

Yes, virtuosos all!

[@dbpricetoo]

Totally agree

[@dbpricetoo]

Few bands can even come close to Toto live. Possibly the best collection of music artists ever recorded

[@JackTaylorsFoodReviews]

I grew up listening to Toto when I discovered them by mistake when my Dad, a drum teacher, recorded the Live In Paris gig - I was 15 and totally blown away. I learned drums and was obsessed with Jeff Porcaro - I ended up in a rock band in the UK when I was 18 and we were getting traction with record companies and they got us tickets to see Toto in Manchester and then Jeff passed away. I was gutted. However, we went and Simon Phillips I have to say, was just unreal- it was the same concert they did when recording the Absolutely Live album - it was very emotional and raw - but my god they smashed it -

[@margotcoljee8594]

I think this was one of the best line-ups that they had.

[@margotcoljee8594]

Steve is soo good , unbelieveble!!

[@larryweakley3314]

The Parcaro brothers, drums, bass, keys and Bobby on vocals was the best, these guys were 2nd best.

[@andrewsandoz8005]

Damn these guys sound good. This is what can happen when musicians of this caliber make it work. Thanks fellaz.

[@162534283746]

Simon and Father Time together are worth a listen no matter who they're playing for.

[@christopherstokes616]

I'm so thankful this concert was recorded because ya'll were on white hot FIRE !!!

[@TedBishop1]

Bobby Kimball - lead and backing vocals Steve Lukather - guitars, backing vocals, Greg Phillinganes - keyboards, backing vocals, Simon Phillips - drums, percussion Tony Spinner - guitars, backing vocals, Leland Sklar - bass

[@Nostaljack]

Greg and Tony sang unison lead vocals in the verses and the B-section.

[@Deathblow85]

The drumming on this is just so beautifull and intricate

[@MarkFowlerthefunkee1]

Leland Sklar is one of my favorite bassists ever! His tone is wicked here!

[@HennieBours]

❤

[@davidarcus5131]

And I believe he was a last-minute stand-in for Mike Porcaro, who had hurt his hand. Legendary talent!

[@covering-some-things]

yay...tony spinner from Jonesboro, AR. great job touring with Toto.

[@monicaciampa8901]

Trony Spinner? Bello e bravo!

[@dmainfla]

Find me a band today in "pop" music that can play like this. I know there are amazing bands, and players that you never hear, but these boys were right in front of us most of our lives.

[@findmevenue]

Simon is unbelievable, still the best drummer i've ever known

[@Beatmaster73]

seen them several times but Bobby, Tony and Simon nailed it...... and God on bass!!!! Thank you

[@clydekaila123]

My number 1 favorite Toto concert.

[@yttreblemaker]

Sklar has said that he was pumped to play with these guys, but it was bitter-sweet because he was, in effect, stepping into Mike Porcaro's shoes. That awesome bassline is Mike's creation. Also, when you realize that the only original members of Toto on stage are Kimball and Lukather, it says something about the group that lasts this long, and plays with substitutes, but sounds like nothing has changed in years.

[@perstgaard530]

Fantastic. First pick.

[@daengismulijani1821]

my favorite band of all times..

[@leventtosun8260]

mee to

[@robertlambert1447]

Taking nothing away from Joseph Williams but Bobby Kimball was the voice of Toto and one of my all time favorite vocalist.

[@larryweakley3314]

I agree Bobby was the best, so soulful and powerful, he was ToTo

[@kevinharrah2260]

yep

[@larryweakley3314]

Bobby Kimball was ToTo, great powerful soulful singer,my favorite.

[@simonandgarfunkelful]

Yet another underrated song by Toto

[@KingdomofLuke1]

Under-rated by the band too, they never do this one (I guess I should say rarely).

[@chupeauxx]

There are a whole bunch of under-rated Toto's songs if we look and think about live performing of specified songs....listen this, please kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJa4k6J-nc17i5o

[@massimobusinello7402]

Tambu is a really great album

[@carloslukather6658]

the best live band ever, they really can play in live situation

[@tomcat321]

Was really lucky to see them live about 5 years ago. I remember they opened the concert with "Only the Children". I got goose bumps on top of goose bumps. The audience was so receptive that the band just fed off the energy. They are amazing.

[@izadine]

Yes I do, Simon Phillips was a true asset to the band when he joined them. He is one of the best drummers I have seen (as well as Jeff).

[@mikalroyhansen9586]

you know why toto hat become so big it is only because of the Strong voice and vocal from Bobby kimball and nobody will ever sing like him love from Mik Roy from Denmark

[@massimobusinello7402]

I have this DVD... Really a Masterpiece. I have Live in Poland also and 40 trips around the sun. Stunning dvd

[@TedBishop1]

Amazing Bass riff by Leland ! It just growls !

[@xaviernicole2278]

Simon Philips in the Master Zone ! Just incredible !!!

[@LucasStanik]

What a bass, and player itself.

[@1thaleb]

Kimball is unbelievable in this. Brilliant voice.

[@TedBishop1]

Leland Sklar amazing bass licks !

[@pstock426]

Just when i think I've heard the complete depth of this band, I come across this.

[@andreghouse6069]

coz a lot of people don't know what good music is. This one of their best songs post Jeff.

[@DrummerJohn]

What an incredible live mix! The drum sound amazing, the overall on this was so sweet!

[@arkadeepmukherjee685]

This band. THIS FREAKING AMAZING GROUP IS SO UNDERRATED AND UNDERAPPRECIATED MAN ❤️❤️ I seriously rate them above the great Led Zep or Pink Floyd. Much love to them 🔥❤️

They’re truly masters

Just saw Toto 2018 - Ceasars Casino Windsor ON. best show in years!!!! Lukather is guitar God! Toto totally rocks!!!!

[@larryweakley3314]

Simon Phillips is my favorite drummer, growing up with one, he's a Beast for sure , love his on band,

[@monicaciampa8901]

"DRAG HIM TO THE ROOF": No one has ever replicated this song as Kimball sang it!

[@greghall7796]

Toto live brilliance - an all time classic live album from one the best bands in our life time

[@fabricecheutin6448]

What a musician ! These guys are fantastic. I do remember this great moment in 2007 ! Thank you all men, but too hard to wait European Tour in 2015 !!!

[@f.fields2703]

Creme de la crème on every position.....The Best!

[@anthonycaggiano6688]

An immensely talented and underrated band! This song rocks & Leland nails the infectious bass line on this track. Bobby's vocals are powerful - especially with his infamous ending. Tony's and Greg's voice blend well here. And Luke is awesome as always!

[@randyedward1]

[@wouterwiersema9491]

Huge fan here, however bobbys vocals aren’t powerfull at all. Just autotune 😔

[@Nostaljack]

@@wouterwiersema9491He was having trouble by this point so they tuned him so he'd be able to get away with it.

[@raimundnettinen2246]

Ja, stimmt genau, Simon wird nie oder selten erwähnt, wie famos, leidenschaftlich und genial er die Sticks wirbeln lässt, er hat neben den Basisdrums jene Elemente, die sonst der ebenfalls famose Lenny Castro spielte, mitgenommen. Er prägte Toto enorm, wie früher Jeff. Bravo und vielen Dank, Simon,

I have no words. This is the most catchy music i have ever heard. Bobbys voice is so energic and joyfull! So much warmth in this bandsound!!

Great performance. Top quality effort from all the musicians. Toto is an amazing band no matter the various incarnations. I think "Drag Him To The Roof" is one of my favorite tracks on the Tambu album. On a side note....it is a travesty that Toto is NOT in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Toto IS Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame ;) :D Cheers amigo

[@sumairb9978]

When Simon's playing during the final riff (7:50) I thought the drumstick would fly out of his left hand XD Nevertheless, phenomenal performance. Bobby's chorus just makes it better than the studio version, I don't mind the autotune.

[@gereon2736]

Sumair Bawa it’s crazy how much they fixed it for the CD release though if you listen to the live recording without after editing kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGWch4BpqN5qm80 Good thing for Bobby they did it though. Love him and his voice but you could very much hear his age and the consequences of his Cocaine addiction in the 80s in 2007

[@peevee605]

I mind the damn autotune because his lead vocals was on sync track all 2008 before the band broke up because he could not sing his parts.

[@Baggervr]

@@peevee605 the band broke up because their original band members left so they had no guide

[@peevee605]

@@Baggervr Steve Lukather closed the operation because there was not original members there anymore after Mike P got ill plus Bobby could not sing. It's in his book.

[@christianroge6001]

Du rêve ,j adore depuis très très longtemps 😍

[@racerdude888]

Stop with the auto tune comments! Enjoy it. If you listen to the studio recording, they used it as an effect on the verses. The rest of the show is tuned back just to correct pitch at times. If you dig enough you can find live recordings without it and they sound great

[@gilbertocolafabio9916]

Tutti i commenti sarebbero riduttivi per descrivere dei musicisti virtuosi al servizio delle belle canzoni in assoluto i migliori al mondo
