Toto - King of the World (Live in Paris 2007)

[@thatmatt41]

@@cloremaemabida2018 Ok, well I looked up some performances from after this and, well, yeah. kzbin.info/www/bejne/foTZiIaPnLiAY8k kind of speaks for itself. It seems like the power present in this performance is still there, he just doesn't have a good sense of pitch at his age and can't control it properly. So that's why this show is so heavily autotuned! Honestly, I don't mind the autotune on this; he sounds great even with the post-production, and unlike a lot of live albums/performances, the autotune isn't incredibly heavy (the autotune on Kansas - Leftoverture live and beyond absolutely ruins the record for me, performances are great but the auto tune is too much). But before you write him off as a washed up singer who's capitalizing on his former position in a legendary band, check this out kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpvapqN-fpmUaac . In a studio, he still has it. Probably a lot of post production but he still kills it here I think.

[@kevinssolaradventure284]

Go to 3:48........this interaction and power is where I come to worship at the alter of music. Luke melodically owning his solo, and the rhythm section becoming "one" that drives this massive machine into what i consider to be musical nirvana.

[@phatsmitty]

Even though there isn't much of the original Toto here, the lineup is noteworthy. Simon Phillips on drums - my brother and musician friends know that Simon is tops with me. Leland Sklar on bass - saw him live with James Taylor 100 years ago, he is on about a million albums. Greg Philinganes on keys - he is on the same million albums in the collections we had. Bobby Kimball's voice and squishy eyes when he sings, I always liked that about his style [c

[@davidbagnall5976]

It's a shame in the time after this he has descended into a poor TOTO tribute act - search for it here and on google., it's awful for such an talented man - also he crossed a line with Lukather doing this too.

[@carloslukather6658]

i didn t find anythig why he left toto again, whats happened?

[@pascalgranjon2676]

Yes, but with the help of a good Auto-tune system !!!! I was there at this gig and at the end of the show, he was viciously out of tune. A great voice though.

[@DisappearingBoy2010]

If you watch and listen to the live 2006 Belgrade concert, you can see the difference. No autotune on that one. Still sounds good, but obviously not produced, mixed, etc. to the extent this concert was - since they were making it for DVD. But then pretty much all bands do some polishing up for DVDs.

[@eltecko]

Bobby Kimball was amazing and this is the best performance of TOTO. That's all I want to say...

Bobby is autotuned. His last great performance was in 1982.

[@rhagedorn]

@nicolechatelain75 Virtually every singer uses some kind of high tech microphones. The most popular one is the Shure SM58. Listen to John Lennon's live version of Instant Karma. Obviously, it's been a long time but he uses a high tech microphone even then. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rn3cY4aXiLZ0qqM

[@rhagedorn]

@nicolechatelain75 `BTW, you can criticize Bobby all you want but he's getting up in age as all lead singers eventually do. I listened to him in person at the Cleveland Agora night club around 50 years ago and he along with the band were absolutely incredible. Bobby was fantastic, believe me.

[@Mes799]

If you get a chance read "The Gospel According to Luke". Steve talks about how pitchey most of their singer were. Luke narrates the audio version btw......

[@rhagedorn]

Thanks, I will if and when I get a chance. Ever since my comment 6 years ago I've noticed that virtually every singer uses some kind of autotune to a certain degree and I'm glad they do because they really make a huge difference.

Smoke and mirrors It's a house of cards Everybody has windows And big cigars The law of the jungle Is very new to some The animals are vicious and arrogant And they eat their young I used to work my job from 9 to 5 I just survived I was the king of the world I had every thing thrown at me, That the judge and jury could hurl I was the man of the hour I would claw and scratch my way up, To the very top of the tower Helter skelter It's a den of thieves Sea of errors That a greedy man weaves A few really bad apples Always spoil the lot Rolling blackouts On everyone's block I go to work and try to make ends meet My life is over I was the king of the world I had everything I needed, I owned every type of girl I was the man of the hour I would claw and scratch my way, Up to the very top of the tower Instrumental Break I was the king of the world I had everything I needed, I owned every type of girl I was the man of the hour I would claw and scratch my way, Up to the very top of the tower ...i was the king of the world!

[@petesorensenguitar]

I'm transcribing this song in GuitarPro (5.2 of course!) and it's rewarding but difficult. Any other guitarists out there know what chord Steve plays at 0:15-0:16? I'm wracking my brain here. I tabbed what it looks like (as opposed to what I'd tabbed by listening), and it doesn't sound quite right.
