Burton Cummings is a legend in Canada. His time with Toto is overlooked, in part, because Canadians are disappointed in the fact that he chose to align himself with an "American" band.
Saw Toto during this time by fluke. Went to see Kenny Loggins (Hey, Kenny was a good "date" concert back then) at a venue in Seattle. His opening (Poco) couldn't make the gig. Toto played a "Catch a rising star" show the night before at a smaller venue. Calls were made and Toto opens the Loggins show. Needless to say they played literally white hot and turned the place out. I knew of Jeff Porcaro before then because of his work with Steely Dan as a teenager. It was truly magical.
Like the fat dude says on TMZ..."Fuck my life..."
Kids, this is the essence of a pop masterpiece: Killer vocals, hot-shot lead guitar WITH an oustanding, coherent and tight solo and a rock-solid drum/bass rhythm section.
This has to be in Cleveland at the Agora Ballroom sometime in the late 70's making it almost 35 years ago when local radio station WMMS promoted it.......Great vocals by Bobby Kimball and fantastic guitar by Steve Lukather. That's David Paich on keyboards and I believe David Hungate on bass guitar. Of coarse, the unbelievable and classic Jeff Porcoro on drums!
@philipleanza3......Also; if you look at the inside cover of the classic vinyl album "Silk Degrees" by Boz Scaggs, all these same Toto guys listed played on this LP!
@philipleanza3 Jeff porcaro put those musicans together for Boz. Boz won a grammy for the record of the year. The very next day he drove to Jeff's house and gave him a check for $40.000.00 in gratitude for what he had done for him!
@philipleanza3 Yes (Banner behind band is a giveaway..:-) )Feb 2, 1979 to be exact..awesome show. Waiting for them to come back..Steve Lukather planning a US tour later this summer..maybe Toto later.
Dude, I am a drummer and I gotta say Lukather tore a hole in the roof of that place with that solo - holy shnikies! They are the only band I have ever seen when the guitar player gets a standing ovation during the opening number.
what's wrong with this audience? how could they sit their ass and not to groove to this?
