TOTO - Jake to the Bone LIVE - Montreux 1991 VHS version

UPDATE : this concert has now been released on DVD and BluRay, definitely check it out. At the time of posting it was still an unreleased show you could hardly get your hands on it.
Very RARE Live video of Jake to the Bone from Montreux 91 concert.
Dedicated to Mike Porcaro, may he rest in peace and groove hard with his brother Jeff. Legends gone too soon...
Sorry YT has put ads on it, but I guess this lets the video stay online.

[@funklover24]

Luke's solo is epic ... with Jeff Toto is just the best Toto.

[@juzzmeehlala7485]

My gosh!!! From bass - to lead - to piano - to drums - to conga drums - everyone's on point!!! BRAVO!!!

[@babaspeedz]

Incredible!!! so good! Mike is just amazing, Jeff incredible of simplicity and efficacy! And Luke...... The best Toto ever

[@ArcticRaven]

Besides the true mastery of the whole band - those are some if not THE most tasteful bass-licks I've ever heard! R.I.P. Mike and Jeff Porcaro.

[@raoubveugelles]

One hell of an outbreak of sheer talent!

[@Joesfosterdogs]

Mike's low end bass kills...this is how fusion music is played...killer groove and soul...never lose the soul @3:47...TOTO never goes so far off the edge like most prog bands...they lock into tasty grooves...Paich's keyboards are outstanding...he can play a ballad and then let if fly with those chubby fingers...Jeff played better open fills on the studio version...Luke really remembers his studio parts

[@RaincloudmusicTFS6]

NEVER got to see these guys til after Jeff earned his Wings. I wish I had seen them during this era. Simon did yeoman's work stepping up, and Sput and Shannon Forrest are also monsters. These guys are at a level that's missing from today's industry. (MHO), and it makes me sad!

[@Joesfosterdogs]

@@RaincloudmusicTFS6 saw Jeff just before he passed at the Ventura Theater in CA...he was a CLOCK...time was unreal

[@turkfiles]

@@JoesfosterdogsA super human “click track”, but so dang creative. Every video I’ve seen where they focus more on Jeff, he makes it look so easy! Dang, he is sorely missed!

[@MarcoFernandesTrebort]

Toto, the perfect band! They where, they are AMAZING! High quality musicians!

[@caspervanhelvoirt]

R.I.P. Mike and Jeff. Jamming together up there :)

[@drumstudio2000]

Jeff Porcaro= Just Perfect

[@NameNaameNameeNaamee]

+Jossi.Knutsen,9812 That's not what he meant. Some people will simply never get what music is about...

[@drumstudio2000]

+NameNaameNameeNaamee thats right. cheers

[@NameNaameNameeNaamee]

+Jossi.Knutsen,9812 Ah, I certainly did not get that :D So, never mind :)

[@jonp4846]

The rhythm section is terrifyingly good. Missed dearly.

[@DougBrito]

I'm sure, in the end of this, there was a big and loud laugh from Jeff and Mike ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️, love you all Toto, I wish I could met you, hug each one of you and say Thank You for such an incredible and inspiring music!

[@RaincloudmusicTFS6]

Am told by those in the know; Jeff should've been in 7 for part of this, but my ear hears 6! Grab a note and hang on, it was! I think Scott Page told me he got razzed a goodly bit afterward. The trick is; they went down that rabbit hole with him, and nobody knew the freakin' difference!!! 🤣 Lightning in a bottle, here. Look up the clinics Jeff did on here at MI.... he was legendary for his generosity.

[@kierangallagher8343]

The best brother , drummer & bass combination ever , truly missed.

[@philipoud]

I was at that show, just in front of Luke, 1st and last time I saw Jeff, big smile on my face from the beginning to the end . That song was a huge surprise, it was their jazzy moment in fact for Montreux. I wish they will release a dvd one day

[@joshkosh95]

+philipoud Steve Lukather recently said that he was overseeing mixing of this show for a Blu-ray/DVD for release later this year. So EXCITED!

[@ikevmusic]

+joshkosh95 yes he did I'l so excited. I don't know how good they manage to remaster this but I've hoped for so long :)

[@Babbtox]

Recently they released this on TotoVEVO!: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3uUdGCOrciSobs Looks like they will release the whole concert on DVD and Blu-Ray 16th September 2016! You can read more about it here: totoofficial.com/2016/07/toto-live-at-montreux-1991/

[@joehamiltonsongs]

Absolutely brilliant...including getting out of the fuckup at the end. A real band with real guys playing real music. The best ever.

[@BassMecca312]

David Paich! WHOAA! If you only know the name and have never heard David Paich play live & show his serious skills then here you are @ 1:40. I love Lukather's tone @ 6:58!! These guys never got the respect they truly deserved. I love all these guys dearly & I have since my teen years. BIG groove, and Toto plays like a real band together. All parts form a formidable machine. The criticism leveled at them for being LA studio musicians and playing on some of the biggest albums ever has always been unfair to me. And yet if you pull credits from any song/album from the 70's-2000's chances are you will see one of the band member's names receiving credit for arranging, composing, or playing. I give David Hungate props for his studio/live bass work with the band. That being said, Mike Porcaro sounds like a Titanium Wall. His bass lines were always big and he could not be moved. Definitely an influence on my bass playing. Together that rythm section was hardcore solid. May God rest his soul as well as his brother, the legendary Jeff Porcaro.

[@ewouthonig371]

The criticism about them being 'session musicians' has always been ridiculous. Yes, they are/were session musicians. Because they are/were the best money could buy so every artist, producer or composer wanted them and only them to play on their records.

[@rioalamrusdam]

Never ever bored watching this rip jeff n mike always in our❤️❤️

[@pierluigireda482]

Jeff and Mike...we miss you both...RIP magnificient musicians....And a big Hail to Steve " The Luke " Lukather...You are epic!

[@gracemabalot1432]

Agree! Epic and awesome Luke!,!! 🥰

[@hihopeseveryday]

Nothing like a really good bassist! As a guitarist playing with a really talented bass player is brilliant. Mike Porcaro what a natural and feels every note. I too been a Toto fan since I was a kid now 53yoa and they are still one of the top bands I follow. Steve still inspires me to play better and better every time and give it your very very best, whilst having a ball at the same time! I highly recommend it. Thanks for the post and info I will get this DVD.

[@janetwilbur8459]

One of the best instrumentals EVER!!!!!!

[@teemunystrom7020]

Groove master ! RIP Jeff Porcaro.

[@tibord72]

Jeff will live forever in our hearts and his music. Wanted to see him more playing this show.

[@chesterlayton3910]

These guys are amazing. Alot of Jazz in there. Should be in the R&R HALL OF FAME.

[@darrylthorpe4907]

Now this DVD is coming out this year marvellous!!This is a snapshot of the dream team at their best one word PHENOMENAL ... and it is !!

[@jennifercooper8590]

Luv this Montreux show!! Cant get enough Toto!!

[@johnpike5836]

some of the best fusion Ive heard

[@mrmusic248]

Prayers are continuous for the Porcaro family. Such a tragedy to lose Jeff & Mike so young. There was SO MUCH musical DNA in that family !!!! Thanks to the uploader of this megajam !!! I saw TOTO play this with Simon Phillips on the drums, and it also was amazing. Now, I want to see the rest of this show, so it's off to Amazon !!!!

[@rockmaker507]

How wonderful... Jeff Porcaro !

[@MichaelVLang]

Good grief that's amazing drumming.

[@Tigelinus]

FINALLY a Toto recording in which the bass is high enough in the mix. Mike Porcaro is such a fantastic player, yet you he's often lost in the mix. I remember learning this song when I was in music college, endless practice and lots of sweat. Haha.

[@raulscott9322]

One of the most underrated bands ever!!! Go Toto!

[@Jedizen07]

Magical, with or without the buffed ending. Just doesn't get any better with this band when they are all RIPPING it up. Absolutely magical.

[@radicallife7]

what a amazing drummer, one of the best instrumental that i have been listened !

[@douglas70940]

Mike is great what a f..... groove and no note out, god bless him ! ! !

[@rexprodu]

The camera don't show jeff enough!!!! shit!

[@soeinhenk]

Großartig, diese fantastischen Musikern zu hören und sehen.....Mike und Jeff.... Awesome, hear and watch those fantastic Musicians...Mike and Jeff, RIP

[@andreghouse6069]

Simply awesome!! It almost brought tears to my eyes watching Jeff. Thank you for posting this.

[@charvel1apm]

That little mess up at the end just tells you that these gods are human 😍

[@jgmiller804]

This is so legendary, but then that ending lol. Just shows you we are all human no matter how great we are.

[@SuperSalvatore50]

Awesome ! Everyone of them ! Miss Jeff Porcaro !

[@AlbertoOlivieri]

Jeff and MIke are my favourite Rhythm session!!!

[@robshader5491]

Lukather just blows my mind

[@ewd117]

Amazing! Thanks for sharing. Been a Toto fan since I was a kid. Long live Toto.

[@7trapkid]

Thanks Kev1du33, JP was unbelievable in the studio and truly immaculent on stage, I saw them twice in OKC first time on the debut tour, then 2 yrs. later athe the 3rd lp having just been released, 97 degrees and humidity was unbearable ( typical Oklahoma summertime ), and muggy to the max. Jeff Porcaro had 4 window-box fans blowing on him, I felt his pain, having been a drummer also, I'm retired and 62. Never to old to rock n roll. NEVER!!!!!

[@m1bug]

RIP Mike.. Legend !!!!

[@gustrc]

R.I.P. Mike Porcaro...

[@dezcapo7250]

Unreal.....God bless Jeff, you inspired me to play.x

[@luigicuccitto2113]

Semplicemente Fantastica 🎸🎸🎸

[@mikhelr4831]

"We Love You Jeff All Your Fans, Thankyou!! For Uploading This Masterpiece. . . TOTO. .

[@graemeclarke4268]

Still with us in sprit...Love you Jeff"

[@gilbertocolafabio9916]

sicuramente la più grande band al mondo da brivido

the great porcaro's brother r.i.p.

[@jhardy0786]

Great talent

[@JorgeGonzalez-jf7vq]

también creo que Toto es la mejor banda del mundo y es el arte de juntar solo genios haciendo lo suyo en cada instrumento.

[@Benjamin-tc4yn]

Jorge Gonzalez Tal cual

[@classiccoversband5617]

toto el mejor grupo del mundo sin duda alguna y si lo dijo van halen como no creerlo los hermanos porcaro patch y lukater los mejores no ay duda

[@marcelsiebers-carljohannes]

TANX FOR POSTING!!..the great Toto line up with Brother Jeff and Mike Porcaro..

[@pastorpaulfbc]

Luke’s feather-light touch on that fretboard!

[@ORLOSTguy]

The thing I've always wondered about this performance is it seemed to me like Jeff changes it up near the end of the song, as if he's wanting the song to end. Luke, Mike and Paich all turn towards the drummer and being the great musicians they are, adjust and finish the song. Has anyone ever commented in interviews if that is what happened? Did he just mess up since it was the first time being played live? Was Jeff getting exhausted and needed to stop? I do remember reading that Jeff had talked about quitting touring because it was starting to be too much for him physically and he wanted to just keep doing studio dates and being home with the his family.

[@sasenahvalquiria8847]

JEFF PORCARO SI LE IMPORTABA LA FAMILIA ME E DADO CUENTA QUE STEVE LUKATHER NUNCA DURÓ EN SUS MATRIMONIOS MALA SUERTE O PARA EL FUE PRIORIDAD LA MÚSICA.

[@mouben6806]

God of drums playing here, much better than the doublebass-monster S.Phillips. SP is quite a different drummer, but Jeff is God, he carries the songs and let the atmosphere breathe in them! Your soul is blessed.

[@davidyangming]

We so miss Jeff!

[@tfernandez733]

holy holy holy shit, never seen this before and im speechless......what planet were toto born?

[@ericgelders]

Even with that little mess-up at the end - THIS IS EPIC!

[@Musicman_5150]

3:11 YEAHHH! Great lick! :) R.I.P. Mike...

[@markf.8755]

I never bought the Kingdom of Desire CD, and have heard that the studio version of this song is awesome. Couldn't find on YT until now. A kind soul has put it up : /watch?v/=zgxz-kCPUbg Thank You. Wow.

[@TheMrHeadlong]

RIP MIKE!!!

[@xraysimon]

Still one of the best guys around (here & there!)

[@NightwolfySmoke]

Simply blow my mind, one of the best songs. ¡¡¡El medio tema!!! ¡Peazo de tema!

[@donleblanc7223]

Jeff called it in the end ,... the others caught it , IMHO... RIP Jeff and Mike.

[@herrkaliyuga]

Wow. I booked to see Toto & Jeff passed away between then & the gig. I believe it was the first ever show with Simon Phillips as it turned out.

[@joseassuncao5598]

MAGNFICOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@ps91worshipdrumsrr]

Incredible

[@phakem1]

Killing!

[@rayelliott8107]

Absolutely love this. :)

[@mahefaa]

I think despite hid genius, Jeff makes the mistake :-) the other musicians didn't expect his move and had to follow him in the final notes. I sort of read a quote from Jeff where he stated he fucked up at the end, hahaha Even the best make mistake :-) this is live ... and human ;-)

[@wpochert]

I was wondering what happened at 7:52 ...not sure if Lukather accidentally went into another form of the solo rather than the ending ? Either way brilliant recovery by all of them :)

[@MaartenVHelden]

@@wpochert Jeff was too early. The guys were expecting another round. Now it was completely unrecoverable!! Lukather is completely lost! But they finished together. That's true.

[@MaartenVHelden]

David is the first to pick it up. Than Mike is coming to his senses and finally Luke is getting the picture. Hahaha! This is great stuff! I didn't think they could f*ck up like this, lol!

[@wpochert]

@@MaartenVHelden Funny as hell actually :) Jeff forced himself to do a tiny drum solo

[@MaartenVHelden]

@@wpochert I don't know. It seems he just playing his part of the outro but it is just one round to soon.

[@ileanana]

Thanks for the upload!

[@domenicogiordano1465]

Grandi musicisti, un altro che se ne va.

[@checkie4ever]

Every starting band could just study these great guys and it would be enough if not too much really . Just to be able to listen each instrument so clearly and learn.

[@Malleolus]

Who else thinks, that you can here much of a Michael Jackson in that? Espacially the damn hot funky parts! (Or you could say, you hear a lot of Toto in Michael...)

[@Korsfestelse]

Well since most of Toto worked on Thriller I'd say Michael had some Toto in his sound!

[@oggfish]

What a version!

[@11dancingfish]

Best band and best musicians ever. Ty steve, mike, dave and lenny (percussion here) for plying in my life. Rip jeff. Im glad and happy to saw him many earlyear concerts

[@funklover24]

Percussionist is Chris Trujillo.

[@OndrausCissell]

THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@FukiMakai]

GEEEEEENIOS!!!!!

[@ribspreader123]

DAT BASS

[@douglas70940]

I agree he's wonderful, I enjoye his bass sound.

[@m1bug]

GODLIKE.

[@totogitarre]

Thx, great Music and a lot of memories!! If you have more from this stuff, don´t hold it back!! :-)

[@jaycareaga9929]

Hardly rare it’s on dvd.

[@wrightguyz]

cut off Luke's quote 'That was a little strange' (on the early stop from Jeff...lol)

[@bdatony]

Listen to the bassplayer (Mike). My god!

[@teleespantoso]

This kinda seemingly-stripped version is very tasty. Not as fuzzy guitar as performed on the regular Toto-dates.

[@Pentoute45]

Great stuff ! Thanks for sharing !

[@eduardoorellanasalazar805]

Se equivocó Jeff al final...pero es lógico en una canción que ni siquiera habian grabado aun para el disco Kingdom of Desire.

[@alemad70]

Jeff....!!!!

[@rockmaker507]

Listen To Jeff !!!

[@XDrummerSteve]

Wow! Brilliant.

[@erikceman5354]

Love the 7/8 part

[@gilbertocolafabio9916]

Incredibile ma come fanno a suonare così yeff mike lukater paich i migliori al mondo

[@nandi191]

amazing

[@bobporcaro]

That's just awesome.... but didn't they miss the end ?

[@GLEAband]

Incredible groove. But.... it seems that in the end of the track there's a sort of incertitude among the musicians about how to close the song....they make a sort of mistake.... even if it's a beautiful one....:-)

[@ivangutierrez7815]

Que músicos...,!!!
