@drewper73 It was almost divine. Simon is a GREAT guy, monster drummer and fit in so well in Toto's style. There couldn't have been a better guy. I used to think that Vinnie Coluaita would have been the guy.

@saanzacs YES! And Mr. Jeffrey Porcaro on drums. This tune kicks ass.

This tune is killer to blaze up to, found myself cleaning the house as well. This song has all kind of effects!

The drums add a real presence to the music, setting up each part with nice little tension and a relentless feel. The mighty Jeff Porcaro everyone. The whole feel he sets up is hypnotic almost. Beautiful song. Got to love that late 70's moog keyboard sound too. Takes you back for sure.

Andy is the man! The entire staff at Drum! are great people.

@funkydrumr51 I believe it is Peter. He was awesome with them.

Karen was badass. Loved her groove and yes that SMILE while she played says it all.

Buddy, Krupa, Philly Joe Jones, Chick Webb - those dudes were pioneers. My singles want to quit after watching this vid. Wow.

"Funky little shack, FUNKY little shack!"

"He died as he lived : white, fat and bloated!"

This was funny as sh*t.

Young musicians fortunate enough to be watching this, LISTEN to that GROOVE. The pocket was even deeper when Jeff was there, but Simon and Mike were a lesson in feel as well. Toto has/had the best "band time" I ever had seen, when all group members are riding the same wave as locked in. I learned...

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.

@joshkosh95 I think this is Simon Phillips. Not 100% sure, but will check it out.

The listed musicians is from the CD, when it was recorded in 86. On bass here, you have the great Nathan East I believe filling in for Mike - who is the man. That is of course Simon on the drums. I love him to death but Jeff is still the MAN - man. I also think that is Steve Porcaro on keys from ...

I am Mr. Toto and this kicked ass, good dynamics and grooving like a muther. Our band plays this and Rosanna and it always may favorite part of the set. Got to be good to pull off Toto. Cheers guys and GAL!

Dave's show was the best. Genius writing, great performances from all the talent, creative editing and music.....I could go on and on. I got the DVDs of both season and watch them all the time.

Player Haters Ball never gets old. All the Wackarnolds bits were great. And of course the Charlie Mur...

@jsnmlny1972 YOU ARE AN IDIOT. I PRAY THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE FAMILY OR PETS YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR. COOPER TOLD THE TRUTH. CAN'T HANDLE IT HUH? GO PLAY ON THE HERMAN CAIN WEBSITE OR SOMETHING JACKASS.

A musical GENIUS, you the man Dave! We love ya.

Stanley said it best : "This is fucked...up..brah."

@mamallama29 Gabba : You are correct. I am lucky to have two great friends who knew Jeff personally. He WAS NOT a big drug guy at all. Toto in general were little bit drinky-drinky, smokey-smokey guys. Tame for these days. That whole incident/reaction by the press after Jeff's passing was deplora...

I got to agree on the high elbow movement- I am paying for it myself now after many years! Great pocket and chops though, creative and dynamics as well. Very nice groove drummer girl, keep kicking ass.

@gabrielx95 Thats my other favorite line in this one, also ROFL

@UrsuAdams Correct, Also, VENUS is no where near as large as people seem to think.

Folks : THE SUN IS MASSIVE, could fit thousands of Earths inside of it, whatever that object is, it is not Venus, that is for sure.

This was the show that finally allowed me to see the light : George Shill Noory and now his little minion Linda Moulten Howe are here to tell us "All is fine!, Nothing to worry about! All the Earth changes and solar system changes are normal, nothing to see!" What a joke. I will never listen to t...

@greenrossesful No shit huh? I couldn't believe all the attention this weak hurricane was given. Even sadder was Coast2Coast last Thurs eve - Linda Moulten Howe sold herself out finally. She couldn't bring on the NASA shill fast enough to tell us all that "there is nothing significant about this ...

This idiot, Linda Moulon Howe was on C2C last night telling us : NASA says its a little comet and that all this hype is just crazy! There is now way anything in space could ever hurt us! All good, go back to watching Housewives of Cleveland or whatever.

That lady is a moron, anyone who thinks N...

@MorbidAngel2011 You are not crazy, you are in fact right on. We do indeed have a binary star that is approaching us - quickly. 2012 was a distraction, the real date is about 6 weeks away. God speed to all of us!

Absolutely right BlowDeBloody,

You can tell he has mastered Ted Reeds Syncopation (you can hear the exercises!) and Stick Control.

Keith is like Vinnie Coluaita in the sense that they are sooooo musical in their playing. Loved Keith with Steely Dan too.

KIDS: this is a drummer to aspire to!

I took sax lessons from Dave as a youngster - he and my folks were huge influences on my taste of music to this day. Funny, I am a drummer now - but still grab the alto from time to time and it all comes back. Thanks Dave! Ironically, in San Jose, last time I saw Dave play, he was performing with...

Adrian is the nicest guy in the world. Met him at the NAMM Show, at the height of Tragic Kingdom and he was still down to Earth cool. We both have hippy parents, worshipped the Police, Steely Dan, too much growing up in Ca similarities. Great guy and AWESOME player. The dude has chops and major ...

I got my first significant "action" with my girlfriend at a summer party in 1986. Total time machine, can picture the dorky shorts I was wearing - her unbelievable pink bikini! This song was playing on the radio all day at that party. Good times.
