Toto - Gift WithA Golden Gun - live @ Amsterdam

[@johncarry5989]

The musicianship is just breathtaking. Love when Steve walks over to Simon at 4.16 because he needs more from Simon at the end of his solo and then Simon just goes crazy and delivers like the God he is. Just beautiful. Music at its very best.

[@jrjr3412]

Did you see Paich right after, he was impressed at Simon and Luke picking it up at the end.

[@marckhachfe1238]

Good catch. Thats awesome. There was a moment like that on the Dire Straits Alchemy tour, Mark walks up the the drummer in the same manner, spurring him along with is guitar solo

[@randycannon3452]

In the intro, Luke says "here's one we haven't played in a long, long time".......Why???? This tune absolutely smokes! They should play it at EVERY show...

[@bizzaro1988]

Sore on the voice im guessing

[@vernielcutar]

This is my all-time favorite TOTO Concert.

[@overlord1654]

indeed

[@schuey999]

Yes indeed, and they actually played the whole song and not some pathetic medley.

[@stefanblazic4316]

I grew up with this concert, the first concert that I have ever heard in my life.

[@carlosMartinez-tv7up]

X2 the best concert live of toto immortal

[@thomashauge4798]

2:18 That bass drum fill. HOLY SHIT!!!

[@craigdavenport1819]

I don’t know why the Turn Back album didn’t do better . It is one of my favorite Toto albums . Finding a copy on cd a few years back while in Indiana ( actually the store transferred it to their location so I could get it ) was a good day . A real rocker . As if they aren’t all .

[@marckhachfe1238]

Agreed. Me too. Certainly my most played Toto cd growing up. And this song is the best on the album

[@gizmoitus]

It didn't do well because the engineering and mix were not great. The album just doesn't compare to either of the 1st 2 or 4. Sonically those albums are incredible and this one isn't. The sound of the guitars on this record, especially the solos are downright terrible in places. With that said, I do love this song.

[@bobkemp5882]

​@@gizmoitus - Not only that, but the guys admittedly went slightly more in a "prog" direction -- I LOVE the album, but CBS I'm guessing couldn't find a "hit' to promote from it.

[@diamondd2778]

Bobbys still king in my books

[@JohnBuck41]

The opening riff is an absolutely brilliant take on 'Stay With Me' by The Faces!

[@amateuracoustics]

Luke is the only guy who can have that swagger sound on a "riffed" solo. Amazing.

[@gizmoitus]

Stunning to think that this was just a bit more than a 2 decades ago, and Bobby was still singing like that. Bobby simply never got the recognition he deserves as one of the greatest rock/r&b vocalists in history. Guy was 56 years old at the time, and still hitting notes few guys in their prime could hit.

[@schuey999]

0:21 Best part of the whole video. Best of my entire week!

[@mikkedevastation167]

Gotta love that concert , it is one of my personal all time favorites, i am lucky to have seen them live!

[@marckhachfe1238]

I would kill to see 4 bands live. Dire Straits, ELO, Toto and AC/DC

[@zeitgeist300]

Steve Lukather.. What a versatile player he is. He might be the guitarist with most diverse style in the planet, with outstanding quality as well.

[@jenteworrell4065]

You're damn right. Gongrats with your abillity to notice. You are a musician, thát's for shure ;)

[@Toto-hq5cf]

What a GREAT song 🎸 from a great band 😊

[@j.santossosacuellar1805]

i was licky enough to see this concert live in Queretaro Mexico, one de the best time of my life

[@rodrox01]

Amazing guitar solo!

[@peyosimeonov4650]

+Rodrigo Alba can anybody play such solo on such a kind of song ? no, of course :)

Wow, great song! Bobby on fire!

[@marckhachfe1238]

Just awesome. One of their best songs. Great great great performance.

[@dennyT54]

Bobby impressionante!! ❤

[@vernielcutar]

That girl at 0:21 is one happy camper. LOL. Sideways headbang

[@Zman-jd4vz]

The lead guitar in this is amazing. I wish Luke would have played it like this on the studio version. This version destroys the studio version.

[@gizmoitus]

The sonic quality and mix of Turn Back is just weird. The guitar solo is so muddy on the record, you can't even tell it's one of the best guitar players in the world playing it. Apparently the band really liked the record but it did so poorly that the record company told the they needed a hit or they would be dropped. And then they delivered Toto IV ;) This is also the only early album where the CD sounded so bad, they had to remaster it in 2018 for their "All In" box set. What really stands out to me hearing them do this live, is how good they all sing together, and those vocals aren't just studio trickery and overdubs.

[@CoTeCiOtm]

@@gizmoitus actually, a lot of the background vocals are indeed overdubs. It's really well masked in this, but it's far more noticeable on soundboard audio sources from the 2003/2004 tour, since the harmonies sound so overly produced compared to the rest of the instruments and vocals. In this concert, it's pretty evident on Africa, you can tell David Paich is singing for real when he starts singing "I blessed the rains down in Africa", his voice sounds completely different to everyone else. Then later on the started autotuning the hell out of the vocals, starting from the Falling in Between tour, which is a HUGE pity, since these people can actually sing.

[@liamvandeseijp6901]

@@CoTeCiOtmi think the background vocals are done by Tony Spinner on the backup guitar, he’s actually a very talented singer too. But the Africa chorus was definitely overdubbed

[@Kritikateur]

Man.....Luke plays the exact riffs as he did back then in studio, apart in this live ending which he plays unbelievable stuff not played on that record. The reason why you all think the guitars in this song sounds muffled, it's simply because Steve used a famous (in those days) Roland GTR Synth. I think was The Roland GR 500 module all through out Turn Back. I was 17 when that album came out and I still remember that to me in those days, those guitars sounded awesome, but then again, what was experimental in the past, doesn't match anymore with today's standards. Someone call it "progress". C.A.🤔

[@docsubmarine635]

Perfect ! Bravo ToTo !

[@mironmiron2723]

It's a twelve o'clock depression My mind is in recession And I can't answer you It's the day I can't remember I think it's late September Or is it April blue I can't find peace of mind in a world so unkind It's just a little heartbreaker Just a little heartbreaker, yeah It's a sticky situation When I'm near hallucination And I refuse to bow They used to think me funny When I promised them their money But they're not laughing now I can't find peace of mind Then she calls me just in time She's a gift with a golden gun And she's got them on the run She's a gift with a golden gun 'Cause she knows what they've done I can't find peace of mind Then she calls me just in time She's a gift with a golden gun And she's got them on the run She's a gift with a golden gun 'Cause she knows what they've done Just what they've done, done, done, done, done What they've done, done, done, done, done Just what they've done, done, done, done, done...

[@davidgarrettchristian8715]

Thanks so much for your compliment 💖

[@sebastiancripta91]

What the hell is this song about? I've loved Toto since my teens, but I never really understood the lyrics.

[@markcartel4518]

how did luke got his tone on the solo? its pretty good sounding tone.

[@johncarry5989]

Mark Cartel I'm assuming custom everything helps! lol.

[@markcartel4518]

yeah of course the signature gears that are sold on the market is different from the ones they are using live. the live gears are heavily customized i assume.

[@TomTrix99]

Mark Cartel Agree his tone is awesome here He is using the neck pickup, but on that particular guitar thats a fernandes sustainer pickup, and he is probably using his dirty rhythm channel . He used all this rack gear during this period, but nowadays he is just using a straightforward setup with a couple of bogner amps and a few pedals

[@raymondsting7243]

im sorry guys, the sound is mostly in the hands :), you can find all the settings and effects, but it wont sound the same :D:D

[@dazmusician]

[@martinzalle]

Why did Bobby Kimball leave the band? Just curious

[@MarekPolakowski]

His voice gone bad, just google for "bobby kimball vocal problems". He got better recently but still, far away to Joe Williams' level

[@Wassup997]

the problem with toto LV is the conflict between emotion/expression and vocal condition. joseph sings very well, but he never risks to get out of tone or make his style a bit crazy. he also use to act like a gay during the show. bobby has some huge voice problems, but he always sang like his own life depended on it, he used to be an emotional god onstage, a real frontman. i prefer him much more than JW.
