Highway To Hell, James Bond Theme, Twilight Zone, Manic Depression... Another day in the studio. Look at them smiling. Kids, THIS is how you make music.
I love seeing Jeff and Steve smile. Jeff will always be in my memory because he was the first drummer to really open my ears. Some drummers just make noise, Jeff was a real musician.
gravics Toto played Biloxi a few year back and I thought about Jeff the whole time. It was a great show!!! Steve did a spot on impersonation of Boz Scaggs!
I love Luke's comment towards the end about when your dad gets home and says he had a hard day at work not to listen to him. It looks like they had more fun in the studio.
Man this is golden.. All of these players are great. For me especially it's nice to see two prime Steely Dan session players in Omartian and J. Porcaro. Thank you so much for posting this.
The only thing that was important to the members of Steely Dan,in the studio,was a great drum track and amongst all session drummers,Jeff was the best at it without a doubt.That statement just goes to show just how gifted,respected and professional he was out of all the union guys during his decades of work. On check pickup day,Jeff's stack was always 10 times taller than everyone else's.What a pro and what a huge loss.IMO,the loss of Jeff in the session community was equivalent to the loss of Eddie Van Halen in the live music community.
How did Jeff always make the cymbals ring over the bar line? The slow decay is just so incredible. His cymbal work and of course his silky hi hat was insane!
I think it was a session for Raymone Carter, i can see "Eyes don't Lie" music sheet, and the song called" I will always be around" was recorded by Mike, Jeff Porcaro, Steve Lukather and Omartian. Recorded by Terry Christian...
Michael O is a MONSTER session pianist. If you’re the dude who made the final album cut on Aja...that’s basically the same as being among the best of the best
He's played for Amy Grant...Cetera.... I think also aided Toto with layered keys parts.... This cat's been "Everywhere", as the old Hank Snow record says. My first axe is keys.
Jeff Was Playing on His Recording set of Gretsch Toms using Pearl Mounts and a Ludwig Bass drum, He loved that Ludwig Maple Ply Bass Drum I believe it was Taught or advised to him by HAL BLAINE
my mentors at work! I cant get over how young you guys look here?! this is amazing footage! incredible! you guys grew up in the golden age - now all music is shpilkus!!
Does anyone know his cymbal setup, sizes and models he used? In all the Porcaro videos I find myself marveling at his cymbal sound, both ride bell and crashes. They sound amazing.
Yo no soy baterista, pero en un gusto muy personal, existen 2 tipos de bateristas, los que tocan rápido y regular, y los que tocan con ritmo, muy buen ritmo, como Porcaro. Sin menospreciar a nadie, por algo pertenecen a agrupaciones muy buenas, Ántrax, Pantera, Metallica, Genesis, Foreigner, Rush, Zeppelin, Rainbow, etc, etc.
Are you sure that it is that song playing in the background 1.39-1.46? Because I can't hear it. Maybe it is the wrong version that I heard, I believe it was the album version.
Still hard to believe Jeff has been gone nearly 30 yrs and Toto never got to perform as a band ever again. Jeff's widow , Susan , put a stop to the band. She remarried a few years after Jeff passed . Remarried to a millionaire but the band can't even go by Toto and try to make a living. I remember reading Steve saying he can't even mention her name for fear of being sued by her again !
inte för att vara elak, Men Jeff var hög på droger här,, Vet inte varför jag känner så,, jätte tråkigt, man blir så ledsen , så bra musiker,,, vila i frid Jeff,,

I absolutely love this little video clip. It shows how much joy they had in simply playing music together. "Good fun", as Jeff would say.
"Just for fun sake" :p
Gone, but never forgotten. Music lives forever, RIP Jeff!
So good! Luke, Porcaro, and Omartian! Best of the best!
This video just confirms that Rock-n-Roll is and will always be a national treasure. Hail, Hail Rock-n-Roll!!!
Nothing like watching great musicians have fun and just jamming out!
that manic was just awesome. so much fun
And of course, Ross Garfield the "Drum Doctor" on the scene!!!! That's why Jeff Porcaro's drums sounded so well!!!
EVERYBODY is having a good time! Man, that's what it's all about.
I love Luke's comment towards the end about when your dad gets home and says he had a hard day at work not to listen to him. It looks like they had more fun in the studio.
Beautiful - two of my favorites: Porcaro & Hendrix! Both gone way too soon... Thanks for posting.
Wow, three powerhouses in the same studio. Michael O'Martian was a top-flight session pianist. He was the pianist on Christopher Cross's "Sailing."
Steve lukaher played solo in All Right by chistopher cross
wow are you both serious? awesome info!
Not O'Martian, just Omartian.
Wow didn't know that cheers!
My heart just LOVES this!!!!!
They are having fun.. This is great video. Thanks for putting this out.
Excellent musicians having fun. What a pleasure for my eyes
Thank You

RIP THE PORCARO BROTHERS
I absolutely love you guys Twilight Zone and all!😀 Thank you so much for sharing this clip! Keep rockin!🎉
The music world is a poorer place without jeff porcaro 😢
Agreed
Sorely missed by so many. He was incredible.
Facts . F-***
It will alway be, sadly.❤
Indeed
Anyone else love the short fill at 1:32? The simplicity and musicality of it is mouthwatering!!!
the taste and feel of these players is unmatched
Too many of my favorite people in one place.

Compression
@@mirkomarkovic3438
Never thought of that.
Thanks!
Nothing like the sound from Paiste espically the Signature Line!!!
At 2:12 the heavy 3/4 vibe of Manic Depression rolls listeners over like an 18-wheeler.
GOOOOOOD i miss Jeff and Mike. These days has bin a hell for me man. Thinking back to these days.
Thank you for putting this video online. :-)
Die sind genial, einfach nicht normal. Weltklasse
I think it was a session for Raymone Carter, i can see "Eyes don't Lie" music sheet, and the song called" I will always be around" was recorded by Mike, Jeff Porcaro, Steve Lukather and Omartian. Recorded by Terry Christian...
man no wonder the records sounded better back then...look at all of that wood..those rooms were ALIVE!!
So it’s the wood that did it? Whod’a thunk it?
Also, most drums are recorded by the drummer themselves in a concrete basement. Dead as hell (not to mention how most artists use samples)!
Yeah, a budget is a hell of a drug!
@@Sigh875 yep reflections help at times. best to record multitrack altogether live until you get the magic drum take
Some of those rooms still are ❤
J Porcaro, long live the KING!
Yeeaaaahhh !! the sound God makes when yes having a good time !
Jeff Porcaro. Wow. Just wow!
Noticed Mike Porcaro too
Love everything about this! Bears helmet included! Thank you Terry!
Yes. The artist was Raymone Carter and the song title was "Eyes Don't Lie".
These guys are fucking badasses, and they make it look SO easy.
Miss you Jeff!!!!
Jeff and Luke jamming on Manic Depression by Hendrix! awesome
Rip Jeff and Mike
this is gold!

He was also Rhythm Heritage (Theme from SWAT).
@@marksayampanathan6517 Love that album. The great but underrated Ed Greene on drums as well.
he did a solo record around '86. its on here somewhere
grande JEFF PORCARO , murió muy joven pero con un gran legado.
Simply amazing! Don't know what else to say!
Great video thanks!
Yeahhh!!! Thank you for the video!
This is MUSIC !
Miss this legendary drummer...I'm still playing and learning his grooves, great drummer for sure.
信頼関係で結ばれているんだなぁ☀️
i heard a bit of the james bond theme tune and the twighlight saga at 1.47-2.07. Jeff and Mike P were taken away from us too soon
I preordered Robyn Flans' book "It's About Time". It's a biography about Jeff. Such a timeless groove his was.
Jeff Was Playing on His Recording set of Gretsch Toms using Pearl Mounts and a Ludwig Bass drum, He loved that Ludwig Maple Ply Bass Drum I believe it was Taught or advised to him by HAL BLAINE
Ah, pure magic..my heros
ALWAYS hit record when this happens!!!
Manic depression is a great song
Awesome syncopated beat!!👍
my mentors at work! I cant get over how young you guys look here?! this is amazing footage! incredible! you guys grew up in the golden age - now all music is shpilkus!!
Miss you, Jamba!!
I was frickin born in 2003...why just why wasnt I born in the early 70s?
Thanks!
Jeff had a magical touch, no one sounds like him!
Carlos Vega & Ed Greene are to me the closest, but Jeff P. really had something truly unique in his sound!
Fucking amazing jammings!!!
What snare series is that one @ 0:25
Exactly 28 years ago.... wow
SO GOOD
Awesome
Jeff (RIP)playing Gretsch in the studio despite an endorsement with Pearl - go Jeff :)

@@ChristopherSmithNYC thanks Chris, that was an interesting read :)
Jeff, so hot and talented, why did you leave us...xx
Too much coke.
The connection between Jeff and Luke is obvious.
they were amazing friends
It's so obvious. I hate that Jeff's widow is constantly in litigation with the band.
Omar! The man, the myth, the legend
Their faces pretty much sums it all up. If you have too work...do something you love doing. Life is too short . RIHeaven Jeff.
WOW!!!
Pure joy
Ahhh … happier times ! 🤗
Then life just fux you ☹️
Oh … aLso …
#ThatGreatGretschSound
I fucking love Jeff!!!
I was born that day
People forget that Picaro invented the drum rack with Pearl called M 22!!! Loved it
is that a black beauty snare at 0:25 ????
Phenomenal
I always wondered what Michael looked like. Now I know. :)
0:20 Hello!!!!!
Mike Porcaro!
over here telling my neighbor tony how much i love luke..hes use to it...haha
Ms T I see a lot of your posts about him ... he was a hottie! 😆
Jupiter 8 next to Omartian
Does anyone know his cymbal setup, sizes and models he used? In all the Porcaro videos I find myself marveling at his cymbal sound, both ride bell and crashes. They sound amazing.
Paiste Signature. 20" Full ride, 18" full crash, 16 fast crash, 18" fast crash. 13" Heavy hihat.
Wow. Raw Talent
yeahyeahyeah!!!
RIP Mike & Jeff Porcaro...
F’n cool TC! Need more home vids bud!
❤
Ludwig Black Beauty snare drum !
Cuál es la canción del 1:10
Jeff playing Keith Moon with his left hand.
@RickBeato needs to watch this and make a video about time in the studio. He just dropped an interview with Michael Omartian.
And the Drum Doctor!
I just came across this vid and see my old friend, Kenny Merrill, tweaking on a snare drum.
I notice at the end it credits Ross Garfield...?
Nope... It is not Kenny Merrill. Ross Garfield was Jeff's drum tech at the that time and it's Ross changing heads on Jeff's drums.
Then he looks, and sounds, exactly the same. Doppelgangers, much?
Though, it makes sense. Kenny has some background as a drum tech, but not like Ross'...
Van Halen - Best of Both Worlds 1:02
no this is ac/dc

what kind of Pearl drums are those... Oh, right, those a Gretsch drums...
Just like the 'new' master Vinnie....
Gretsch and Paiste
engineer has the most 80s or 90s shirt ever. can't decide.
Luke at 1:01 trying to convince the P. A. That his rig sounds just like AC/DC! .....you know man... technology! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@jettrink9502 She won't allow them to perform as TOTO. Look it up.
@@jettrink9502 IDK
Yes they did Steve settled the lawsuit.
They have performed with new drummers new singers etc so don't know where you got that info mate!! 😅
