TOTO XIV - Making Of 2017

[@pierrehame6479]

one of the best records they have ever produced. No fillers, only killers

[@bschuchi71]

Listen kids - these are professionals - no autotune, just pure performance...

[@regwooten]

These guys belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of fame. How many hits have they written and played on. these guys are the last 1/2 century of music. Let's get them in the RHOF.

[@ronaldelliott4373]

Astonishing! I and many of my friends and family discussed your post the other day. After a quick check Reggie, your right. How did this amazing band get overlooked? Our consensus was, oh yeah, it’s The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. How many times have we seen this before? Deep Purple, Rush Et al. Hopefully, like the others, this injustice will be corrected with time. Of course, none of us are getting younger, right? Let’s hope this happens soon! Thanks for the heads up.

[@tenderlyone]

I do not believe so! In fact, I believe that total is way above the quality of music that the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame represents. Toto is Waze superior to any of those work groups that have been considered to be “good“.

[@Retroscoop]

Who cares a mooseshit about that corrupt, confusing and completely frivolous bunch running the RRHOF ? There are bands that are too good to be in it. Toto is.

[@EmanuelLarsson-tv8jg]

only steve lukather has played on 1500 songs

[@forddriver8827]

The RHOF has no meaning as it lost its point decades ago.

[@mark21928]

Toto ... one love of my life! This will never change! Sooooo sad to see this, the respect, the praise, the love for each other and to know that this incarnation of Toto will probably never ever play together again. 😢

[@jagteruel2487]

How i wish Jeff is still alive and part of this album. But atleast i can see jeff's face on his brother steve.

[@andytupaia]

It’s so nice to have these guys back together Joseph is my favorite Toto singer

[@monicabernhardt6611]

I ike all the singers of Toto, Joseph, Bobby, the French and the one who passed away, Dennis ?, but my favorite is Steve, without a doubt.

[@OZRIC1985]

I have been a huge Toto fan since I first heard "Hold the Line" on the radio in 1978. What an amazing group of brilliant musicians, who are also very cool guys (which I can tell from all the Toto interview videos I have watched over the years). Since I am a guitar player, Steve Lukather is one of my top guitar heroes. His chording and very melodic and powerful solos totally suit each and every song perfectly. These guys were all born with the gift of musical creativity, and of course, they put a lot of work and soul into their music which makes it such a total joy to listen to! :)

[@brick396ss]

John I feel the same. I was a 16 yr old kid in my local record/head shop asking”who tf is this?” And it was Hold The Line. Bought the record on the spot and have loved them and Luke ever since. My band covers the tune now and I “fake” a decent version. Just took possession of an olive green HSS Luke III this Fall. Luke is my musical hero all the way around.

[@OZRIC1985]

@@brick396ss ...Hi fellow Toto/Steve Lukather fan! That is so cool that you got an olive green HSS Luke III guitar. I have been checking those out online, and I really want to get one some day. I just have to save up a good chunk of money first. I can imagine that it would feel incredible to play one of those! :)

[@ronaldelliott4373]

Hey guys. Please tour the states again, when we’re all able to join together safely. There are so many of us out here who look forward to filling concert halls again, to see our favorite heavy hitters in the music world!

[@RATCLIFFE-LISTENS]

I was so Lucky I worked with Boz on Silk Degrees in SF. His Band was David Paich ( who co- wrote many of those songs) the never equaled Jeff Porcaro- Steve Porcaro- and David Hungate . Lukather was there as well although Louie Shelton was the 1st Guitarist I think Luke got to play on his tour. A Guy in my Office left SF to move to LA. to form a new company to Manage Toto. CBS was sure they had a winner and guess what they did. Toto’s 1st. Hold the Line alone was enough to send them on their way for years to come. They just got better and better and finally years and years later they have received the recognition they deserved. Long shall they live in good health. It’s now their what 45 -50th Anniversary. My Favorite Live Band as they have held true played hard scratched and fought thru so much and undergone tragedy. They have always been huge in Europe and now here as well. Joesph great Singer Bobby a great Singer and of course Mike Porcaro RIP and last but not least the only drummer that could walk in and take Jeff’s place Simon Phillips.

[@veebeem953]

If you listen to Toto over and over again since 40 years and still hear new things in their songs, you realize how complex and deep this music is. Many of those famous hits played on radio today get boring so quickly...but not with this band. Play on, Toto!

[@neriozulberti1492]

Always fresh sounds,rollon for other 40 years go TOTO😍

You may ear 99 thinking that has been recorded now that’s really awesome

[@kathyettinger3257]

LOVE TOTO!!!!! This is a great album! I have only seen Toto live once but what an impression they made! Absolutely fantastic live band!

[@bubblehead78]

I've loved Toto from album #1. They're all great, but I think Steve really stands out in this video. I often missed him. Good to see him back, and happy.

[@soulsouljazz07]

Toto XIV is one of my all-time favorite Toto albums, up there with their best work! Musically and artistically exquisite!! Let's hope they will come back with at least one more. They have overcome unimaginable obstacles to get here. With this band, it's never say never!

[@Songwirer]

Never ever heard Toto lay back on their success or old hits, this is what I want from a rock band I grew up listening to, and not only as a band but as individual members in other records, they still today push the boundaries like no others.

[@jessicachavez5274]

Totò in my Heart and Steve Luke in my Dreams ❤️💕🧡

[@funklover24]

Heard Toto live from 1986 to 2022 seven times. Great concerts, great memories! ❤ 2015 I enjoyed hearing them again with David Paich, Steve Lukather, Joseph Williams, David Hungate, Steve Porcaro and Lenny Castro, who never was a regular member. But still Lenny brought memories back from 1986, when he played together with Jeff Porcaro live. Shannon Forrest did a phantastic job on drums! 👏 2022 the line-up was very different, but the concert was phantastic, too. Bob Searight had a wonderful approach to Jeff's drumparts, Joseph Williams is getting better and better and Steve Lukather was on the top of his game. Would be great to have a new album and a new tour in the future. I have all records on vinyl or CD.

[@modisemodise4432]

I love you guys, I grew up with your music and still listening and dancing 💃🏾

[@dmainfla]

Chinatown is SO 1978/79 Toto! You can totally hear that groove and sound being in a Boz Scaggs tune. I've loved their progression over the decades, but I just have a place in my soul for that early L.A. groove......

[@petervandolah5322]

What Michael McDonald says about seeing Toto live is really true ... I saw them back to back live at the universal amphitheater in about 1988 or 89 ... That's when everything changed for me, they were simply amazing ...

[@koji4956]

They are ONE All Together The BEST of The BEST

[@DrummerJohn]

I have to say: ToTo should be in the rock and roll hall of fame. I always had high regards for Journey; the musicianship, the writing, the live sound. But the band that deserves as much our more recognition, ToTo! You are the unsung heroes of rock and roll. Timeless and the more I listen the more astounding the music: the more beautiful gems I discover. Who can do that after 50 years!?? Keep bringing the “shit”..😎😂❤️

[@moishe43]

This is my favourite toto album and I am a huge fan. It just comes together so well. And so special to have Steve Porcaro back and he now has two tracks on the album!!

[@johnplum5649]

One of the best albums ever made on this earth... Toto 14... hope to see you guys ever again in The Netherlands on stage !! love you Toto 4ever

[@DrIIGerMusic]

One of the best pop rock group of all time. Period.

[@jaggass]

I wish there were footage of Toto making their earlier albums like Toto IV, Fahrenheit etc

[@ericgelders]

To get a taste of that, look up Lido - Boz Scaggs (live version), to see a VERY early Toto get it going in the studio (if you haven't done so yet) :-)

[@Beexzz]

I know this is not today's news but TOTO is one of those bands being in the hall of fame not now but many decades ago! Amazing musicians, amazing performers, amazing technicians and band as a whole!

[@alsleepr]

Good grief, Joe Williams. Amazing vocals during practice time. I can barely notice the difference btw Joe and Bobby Kimball. David, Steve and S Porcaro are geniuses. Growing up with toto made me happy. I would dance to the music; run on the treadmill, too. (Not since the 90s). Too old for it now but Totos music always has given me chill bumps. Pls keep the music coming. Harmonies are sick!!! Instrumentals are sicker. Ha! Hope I dont loose my hearing. I turn my Sennheiser headphones as loud as i can. How can these guys always sing pitch perfect. That makes me happier. You are my musical heroes. Thank you, Toto!

[@ericwilhelm2941]

Simply Amazing

[@Retroscoop]

Toto made a series of outstanding records, then came a number of.... well, not so outstanding... And than came XIV.... And it all was phase one again. With a singer sounding even better than in his younger years. A string of nothing but exciting songs. These guys were back. Really back. With really rocking songs, with ballads, with instrumental intermezzo's that are absolutely delicious....

[@moniaguerra8023]

Toto the best band ✌️❤️

[@vintagevinylvets1187]

We’re just now discovering this short documentary so thank you in advance for sharing this with the KZbin community.🎧That being said, this video confirmed what we thought Toto were and are in the industry. We were also pleasantly surprised at how well Joseph Williams was at not just song-writing, but actually composing. I guess we shouldn’t be considering that his father is John Williams, who is a multi-winner of Oscars, Grammys and Golden Globes for his own compositions. Last year Steve Lukather announced there would be no more touring for Toto. We sincerely hope that we’ll at least get one more studio album in the future.

[@YAMISOOLD2009]

An amazingly good album. I hope it does not end up being their last but if it does it will always be a high water mark. Thank you for posting this video of one of the greatest American rock bands!

Just came across this doc., really enjoyed it. What impresses me most regarding Toto is the quality of new songs, that endless stream of ideas that comes to life through hard work, huge talent and stamina. This album is so enjoyable....thanks man, great upload!

[@wilbert5916]

Back in 1985 I bought an Ibanez Artist, because they endorsed Steve Lukather. Since that I have been a great admiror of their music. I have been practicing but never achieved that level. Yet, I keep playing their music and also visiting their concerts. Looking forward to Amsterdam in summer 2022!!

[@truescotsman4103]

i used to frequent hollywood when i lived in san diego. i went to hollywood to sell some stuff and we got a motel. i remember going into the room and taking the bed by the window. i lied down and put my head back and looked out the window and there stood the capitol records tower framed perfectly in the split in the curtains. it was a surreal moment being a young aspiring rock musician. luke is a hero to people like us.

[@orangeeye13]

Amazing band. The musicianship was off the charts. Incredible talent and chops. Some may say that Toto did not break that barrier that other bands have done. I say, " Go and try to do 1% of what they did". You would think different. When I was really jamming and doing it locally, I would come across Toto music and think, "Great band", just not paying much attention to it today or looking back at it. In my 40's, I am like WOW... perhaps still not my tops ever but I incredibly appreciate them more than I did in my youth. Great band and so talented. Toto could walk into any session and play. I could not do that back when I was playing. I would have to have tapes for a few days for the most part to feel comfortable. Roseanna, Africa, Hold the line are Epics... Go binge on TOTO live especially what is left on youtube and other platforms... Crazy awesome musicianship

[@anthonybeaver37]

My first album was Toto 4. Listened to it over and over for weeks! I wanted to be David Paige so bad...

Steve has always been a light-tower of synth-prowess to me, and hearing him say that he'd rather have Paich play his parts, warms my heart as an audio-engineer. He just grew even larger in my opinion - he has the end-product in sight, and that is all that matters. Love the guy

[@MiddleMalcolm]

If only this album had come out sounding as beautiful as the Steve Porcaro solo record. Heartbreaking to see these guys so enthusiastic about this project, to have the CD be unlistenable to me. I am a HUGE Toto fan, but somewhere along the way, it got destroyed. Maybe some day a re-release will give it a second chance, but I won't hold my breath.

[@ArnoldArchives]

XIV is a truly excellent album-like a record that was produced in the ‘70s or ‘80s but that remained unreleased until 2015. I sure hope it won’t be Toto’s last studio album. But let’s be clear, as Steve Lukather himself once said, “Without Paich AND at least one Porcaro brother, it’s just not Toto.” I couldn’t agree more. The same lineup who made Toto XIV, including Hungate, needs to get back in the studio and make a proper follow-up album. If possible, it would be great to include Bobby Kimball too. And Steve Porcaro needs to be permitted to write most of the songs. I love that guy’s songwriting! Very underrated.

[@chizmo7]

I followed these guys closely after buying "Katy Lied" way back in high school. I was amazed by Jeff's drumming and Mike McDonald's singing on that album. Then they evolved into TOTO. I thought they were great even though they took a lot of unfair criticism. Years later I did some work for Joe at his house in Sherman Oaks. The most humble and nicest guy ever. I am a fan!

[@BonnieHalfElven]

Hungate does what he wants to do. He left after recording Toto IV, because he didn't want to be in a touring band. He wanted to be a studio musician in Nashville. And he's gained a lot of respect in the industry for his chops. If he'd wanted to be with the band, the invitation was always open. He toured for this record, but then said that was enough and went back to Nashville.
