Toto - Pamela (Live in Paris 2007)

[@nicofebrio1531]

Even there's only 2 original members,, but it is BEST TOTO'S FORMATION EVER.. EVEERR...!!!

[@nicosteream]

I was there ! That was epic ! The energy was overwhelming... This is the best version of this song.

[@mchammer74]

I envy you. And I can imagine what you felt about the energy. Even in this clips there Iwan unique aura

[@nicosteream]

@@mchammer74 I was at the concert in Brussels (Belgium) a few months earlier and the energy was not the same. The difference was obvious. I think in Paris they were filmed so they were more motivated to put on a better show.

I'm a Joseph Williams fan but I gotta admit Bobby Kimball absolutely rips on this one

[@waltersimmons946]

It would been interesting to hear how Fergie and Byron would've sounded on this one.

[@SamuelWelten]

I love Bobby I really do, but the amount of autotune is incredible.

[@waltersimmons946]

​@@SamuelWeltenAuto tune or not. Bobby Kimball has Dementia but will remain the gold standard for the TOTO sound.🎉🎉

[@tinydancer36]

​@@waltersimmons946 AMEN to that!

[@TexTom1981]

Bobby's live performances have always creeped me out with all the head shaking and posturing. He's never been a great presence on stage TBH.

[@zeejay4458]

Seeing Bobby sing this is so awesome

[@andreghouse9192]

While there are only two original members of the group, the quality of the music is second to none. The musicians on stage take a back seat to no one. Simon Phillips is a household name in the drumming community and his chops while blinding, his groove is as tight as a frogs bottom. Greg Phillanganes has played with the very best. Those that know the keyboard community, will know that he is the very top of the list. And Lee Sklar needs nothing more said. This groove just makes you bop your head. LOVE IT!!

[@adamchaifetz5876]

Bobby Kimball is such a nice person, so sorry he is dealing with health issues:(

[@deborabielik6017]

And Tony Spinner was a great addition to fill in for approximately 8 years, both for the high tenor and the rhythm guitar.

[@jameskeyes1131]

Any song that has Leland on bass is automatically 100% better. This is a killer version. Top notch singers and musicians just make you smile big time. Perfect.

Bobby Kimball ❤

[@MCASwilliam]

for those who think bobby is auto tuned, obviously have not heard his interviews with his RAW belts he does naturally. he can belt tones easily during this time. look into it instead of assuming. he';s an amazing vocalist of his time. these are legit his vocals lol.

[@imonlyheretoarguewithidiots]

He is 100% tuned up for this live DVD. That doesn't make him a bad singer, and belting/vocal power has nothing to do with note accuracy which is all that auto tune can correct. Bobby during this time was suffering from some significant hearing loss due to inner ear/balance issues. However, his actual power was still front and center in '07. Not to mention, his tambor and vocal control/breathing was wildly impressive considering his age. -- 20 year musician, vocal coach, producer.

[@rickstamler5931]

Pamela is one of the best Toto songs. It’s pretty cool seeing Bobby sing it I have to admit. I wonder if Bobby made an extra special effort to go all out on this one to kind of give Joseph props for his contribution to the Toto legacy. It’s Joseph’s song but Bobby sings it pretty much like the original recording. It looks effortless for him. Just dumb stuff I think about.

[@tinydancer36]

Bobby Kimball ALWAYS gives all he has when he's performing! Despite significant hearing loss and early dementia; not to mention Bobby has 10 years on Toto members. So many "experts" in the comments. Let's see what you can do when you're Bobby's age.

He is fronting the band now on the last leg of the "40 Trips Around The Sun Tour". He can barely hit middle C. While Bobby who is much older just put out a new album "We're Not In Kansas Anymore" that sounds great. Also, Joseph Williams was heavily Auto -Tunned on those albums. Bobby was never Auto-Tuned.
