@WouterB76 I heard a story that they had tried to recruit Richard Page back when David Hungate left, but he was already starting to have success with Mister Mister and had to turn it down.
@@JanBulin I never heard him do any of David's parts on Africa, in the 2000 summer tour Bobby was there for those parts as Jeff babko couldn't do them, and from 2003 to 2008 Greg phillinganes did those parts.
No surprise Richard Page was invited to become lead singer of one of most successful bands of all time anted Chicago. Also to become singer of toto band.
What an unbelievably astounding group of musicians. Ringo is a tremendous drummer, singer, and legendary person. His choice of musicians to make up the band really is " All Starr". If the millennial group would pay attention to the gift of fine music, they could actually claim they can listen.
You were on Agt a few years ado singing a song which resonated with me. You poured out your heart to the audience. Everybody loved you. You fought a huge battle. And left this world. We all knew you were a star . But God had other ideas for you. Rest in peace Jane xx
I don't get the criticism of Ringo. He's closer to 80 than he is to 70. I don't know many people who still work a full-time job at his age! I like seeing him enjoying himself with his friends and showcasing the astounding talents he puts together onstage all at the same time!
It's not about his age NOW. He was NEVER a good drummer. Period. He sucks. I think that back in the day, Starr was the dude who happened to have the drumkit and his parents let the Beatles use their garage or something. That's why they kept him. He was an awful drummer. I highly suspect that 80% of the drum work on Beatles albums wasn't Starr at all.
Ewout Honig he didn’t join them until just before they hit big. Pete Best was the original drummer. So, no...he wasn’t hanging out with them because his parents let them use their basement.
I took a bus from Baltimore to Pittsburgh just to see his show last year. It was one of the most unforgettable experiences I've ever had. His legend status is well earned.
@@Captain_Jack514 you are right. A historical concert because in addition to Ringo (Beatles) there were Steve Lukater (Toto) Gregg Roolie (Santana) Grahan Gouldnman (10 CC) and Colin Hay (Men at Work). It doesn't happens every day to see one of the Beatles on stage one of the founders of the Santana band that played in Woodstock.
Richard Page's voice is just so prefect on this song! He can hit those high Tones perfectly! Toto should totally have him singing the Chorus on their concerts!
So sad if someone today babbling just about Ringo's drumming.. Ringo and his All Stars project gave us a lot great live performances, lineups and fun! Legends of music sharing a stage and good vibrations...
I'm not certain but I think he was touring with Billy Joel for many years. He's multi-instrumentalist but probably best with saxophone. Amazing musician.
Steve Lukather sounds absolutely amazing! I know it's Paich's song, but Steve really does a great job singing it. Richard Page is also wonderful in this. I get to see them in November and I can't wait!
Yes, you are right about that, I think it was Not a helpful touch. The guy can play but stepping through bunch of notes almost random is out of tune and out of timing to me...
I started looking at some of Toto's videos because a tune from the 80's suddenly came up my head, Stranger In Town" and I dig that video! (It inspired me to start learning After Effects after sitting on my computer doing nothing). Damn it was Toto! Don't recall having it in my best of Toto cd. Then I came to this video- Ringo on drums as guest - no it's his All Star Band with Toto in his band, and Billy Joel's sax player. And I vaguely remember that Togo may have been an opening band for Yes at one time. Really underrated! This band has some awesome vocals, the way The Moody Blues used to harmonize in the 70's. Great stuff!
Absolutely right....this is Ringo's All Star Band featuring Billy Joel's sax player and members of Toto. Todd Rudgren is on stage as well. This was at the Ryman Auditorium where I saw them one year ago. Richard Page sounds great, remember Mr. Mister? They played 'Kyrie' also and it was great!
specx2010 sure to remember Mister Mister, mister! Is he Toto's original vocalist from the studio album? What a great concept Ringo's had with bands past and present-starting with The Beatles- the ultimate. He's a Beatle, but compared to Sir Paul, he needed to have All Starr bands to attract audiences. And some of the greats like here. Doesn't look like you could go wrong with any of the lineups. And Ringo's some cool songs of his own. I don't think son Zak, when not tiring with The Who, would be on any of his All Starr bands. Ringo would feel intimidated drumming next to Zak. He picked up with Keith Moon left off
It's only Steve Lukather in this, the guitarist from Toto. They are starting another tour tonight in the US as well, starting with an 8-date run at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas. Toto have been touring the US the last few years as well - they just completed a tour with Pat Benatar, where they killed it! Don't miss them if they ever come near you!
It's great to hear Richard Page singing lead in the chorus. Did you know that he was offered the job as lead singer of TOTO back in 1983 when Bobby Kimball left the band?
Also, of note, is the fact that Richard is singing the lead totally by himself. Kimball used to do that, WAY early on, but lately it's been double by one or more singers. Like, Kimball with Tony Spinner at one point and then Joe Williams with one of the backup singers. So that's impressive on Richard's part. Also, I'm pretty sure David Paich and Kimball sang that part in unison on the album cut but Paich decided not to do that live for whatever reason.
What an excellent live version of this classic song. In my opinion this is the best sounding All-Starr band that Ringo has ever put together. They sing one great song after another. Thanks for posting this video.
I just seen Ringo and the All Star Band in Binghamton, NY on September 18th. The show was amazing! Ringo and the rest of the band have definitely aged well.
Uma releitura de "Africa" muito bem feita, e ainda mais com o Luke cantando a parte que é originalmente cantada pelo David Paich, simplesmente amei! E Richard Page cantando a parte do Bobby Kimball, foi um espetáculo à parte, tudo foi maravilhoso, ainda mais vendo o Ringo tocando bateria, que beleza ver tudo isso, é uma obra de arte pura 😍🥰♥️💝
La tecnica di suonare di Ringo è sempre stata sottovalutata ma è stato uno dei migliori batteristi degli anni 60 e 70 indipendentemente dai Beatltes e il figlio è sempre stato il motore degli Oasis.
I was so into this song before my baby boy was born, which for some reason I haven't payed attention all these years. Now it became his first birthday theme: Africa! Thank you Ringo and Toto!
Flor Juarez, phenomenal audio and visual, thank you for posting it. I typically listen to a song once or twice, then move on to the next but, when I heard Richard Page belt out those high notes, my spirit came alive...I cannot lie, I must have listened to this a dozen times...God blessed that man with an incredible voice, it lifted my spirit like nothing before.
Yeah, Luke never gets any credit. Anybody else notice that this is a David Paich song and he's totally nailing it? No. Let's talk about Richard Page....
I saw this line up at The Lyric Theater in Baltimore. One of the best concerts I've ever attended. Folks dancing in the aisles and in their seats. And singing every word. Having Rollie in the lineup gave us Santana and Journey songs. I encourage anyone to see the all star band if you can. If you don't have a good time at these shows then there's something wrong with you.
Hello, Let's not forget the great Todd Rundgren in this lineup of great artists.
Semplicemente Meraviglioso vedere Stars cosi' vicine e ascoltare una delle piu' belle canzoni della Storia!!! Grandi Toto Grande Ringo!!!
It's August 2024 and I'm still loving it! Anyone else?
No. It’s Nov 2024. Not August. Still the best version with the legend Richard !
2025, gotcha!
The Ringo Starr, playing with Toto. I never thought I’d see this.
Mark Rivera....on the sax!!!
What an incredible guy!!!
Euh I think it's a clarinette. Epic fail.
@@DDB_Pincab If that is how you correct others...oh boy...
Billy Joel's lineup....😀
Richard not only completely nails the chorus and the high notes but he is playing BASS at the same time!!!! How legendary and tough that is?
I think that’s Joe bonnamassa playing bass I can tell by that crazy haircut
That's why he compliments TOTO very well, my hat off to mister mister Page
Page nails it!
@WouterB76 I heard a story that they had tried to recruit Richard Page back when David Hungate left, but he was already starting to have success with Mister Mister and had to turn it down.
Richard Page sings Bobby Kimball's part exceptionally well. And I love Lukather's rendition of David Paich's vocal parts.
Lukather did Paich's part on several Toto concerts before. He sure can sing Paich's parts. ;-)
@@JanBulin I never heard him do any of David's parts on Africa, in the 2000 summer tour Bobby was there for those parts as Jeff babko couldn't do them, and from 2003 to 2008 Greg phillinganes did those parts.
What became of Paich?
No surprise Richard Page was invited to become lead singer of one of most successful bands of all time anted Chicago. Also to become singer of toto band.
@@pmlsantos yeah because he isn't.
I'm impressed by Richard Page's tenor voice. He still sounds great after all these years!
He 's a very good singer
.
And he and brunet lutaker sing well togheter....guy who plays sax is gifted
Richard Page rocks!
He is really talented. Looks great and sounds great 2 live.
He is Mr Mister after all :-)
Toto wanted Richard to be their lead Singer, but he turned them down because of Mr. Mister.
Amazing.. Luke and Page together is fantastic.
What an unbelievably astounding group of musicians. Ringo is a tremendous drummer, singer, and legendary person. His choice of musicians to make up the band really is " All Starr". If the millennial group would pay attention to the gift of fine music, they could actually claim they can listen.
Virtually FLAWLESS version.

Best All-Starr line-up, in my humble opinion. So many rock music legends on one stage.
I don't get the criticism of Ringo. He's closer to 80 than he is to 70. I don't know many people who still work a full-time job at his age! I like seeing him enjoying himself with his friends and showcasing the astounding talents he puts together onstage all at the same time!
Nancy Fintak Agreed
Nancy Fintak good 4 you

Ewout, I don't recall hearing your name come up when talking about drummers. I do recall hearing Ringos..
That second voice of Richard is phenomenal..
I was at a Ringo concert and his All Star Band in June 2018, it was great. Ringo, 78 years old , sang and played for more than 2 hours.
I took a bus from Baltimore to Pittsburgh just to see his show last year. It was one of the most unforgettable experiences I've ever had. His legend status is well earned.
@@Captain_Jack514 you are right.

I saw them in September 28, 2018. Fantastic show
Me too. One of my favourite experiences ever.
He took care of himself.
I saw them in concert! Awesome!!!
This is my favourite band lineup for the All Star Band.
What can you say? They are all pros. Just killer playing and vocals. Thanks Ringo.
There's not a lot of Ringo there.
Hey!!..that dud playing the clarinet is nothing else then the legendary sax player Mark Rivera.
I'm pretty sure at one point the entire band just stares at Richard Page in amazement.
bro i love ya but mark ran this shit
Just step back and listen, folks. This is a seriously tight band. Truly All Stars.
Yes...As I say, "Little children, sit down - the adults are in the room..."
Can't get more epic than this: Ringo Starr, Steve Lukather, and Richard Page on stage playing "Africa".
Don't forget Mark Rivera and Craig Bissonette!
Richard is still dope on that bass
and Todd Rundgren.
Don't forget Gregg Rolie
One of the greatest songs ever written.
Richard Page's voice is just so prefect on this song! He can hit those high Tones perfectly! Toto should totally have him singing the Chorus on their concerts!
He has kept his voice so well. He's amazing.
He was actually offered the position as TOTO's lead vocalist back in the 80's but turned it down because of his band MR.Mister
He was actually offered the job when Toto’s original singer Bobby Kimball was fired, but he declined.
already has Joe now who is phenomenal. Richard is great in this song though 👍
@@robertoxynn825 Yes Williams is obivouly amazing as well!:)
This is the best version of Ringo Starr all star band. The all seem to enjoy playing together.
THE DUDE WEARING SHADES AND PLAYING BASS GUITAR HAS AN AUSOME VOICE.
Richard Page ("Mr. Mister." ) He's been around for 40+ years...check this out... 1985 ruclips.net/video/lIazGLhbxlg/видео.html
Yessir, that is Gary Page of Mr. Mister. Check out his Top 40 Hit songs, "KYRIE ELAISON" and "BROKEN WINGS". I think you'll like them.
Best version of Africa
YES!!!!! Was there, best. version!!!💜
Oh my gentle Jesus.... The level of musicianship on that stage blows my simple little mind!
So sad if someone today babbling just about Ringo's drumming.. Ringo and his All Stars project gave us a lot great live performances, lineups and fun! Legends of music sharing a stage and good vibrations...
ABSOLUTELY GREAT!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Respect the people who brought so manny good music into your life 👊👊👊
A truly classic Toto song performed by a group of talented musicians...Love it!
Jeff Porcaro, Mike Porcaro and Carlos Vega in my heart !!! Thiago from Brazil !!!
Wow I can’t believe my boi Ringo’s out here blessing the rains down in Africa
Ringo was and still is my favorite Beatle. He always sang the “fun” sings. When I hear him talk about music I always smile. ✌🏿& ❤️
Thanks for uploading!!! 👌💓💓💓
WONDERFUL 🤗👍
One of the best bands ever, and Ringo is doing what a pro does, stay the hell out of the way and keep it simple.
Ringo playing High hat for whole song! Why not? without Ringo there wouldn't be bands like Toto or most of the music we all know and love today! x
Obrigado por postar este video,demais👏👏👏👏🙏
The best version i ever heard.....love it! Richard Page vocal is great!
So much great talent on one stage!! Blessings to everyone!
Toto, Ringo and Mr. Mister!!!
I’m digging the sax. Love this!
I'm not certain but I think he was touring with Billy Joel for many years. He's multi-instrumentalist but probably best with saxophone. Amazing musician.
Hah! That was Mark Rivera, indeed!
This is one very challenging chorus to sing live. Nailed it.
Rings was and still is an excellent time keeper, one of the best!
Steve Lukather sounds absolutely amazing! I know it's Paich's song, but Steve really does a great job singing it. Richard Page is also wonderful in this. I get to see them in November and I can't wait!
You’re right, Steve sounds amazing every time, all the time! And what a powerhouse of talent playing with him!!!
Michele Plemons I do agree .Just saw them in Milan 2 weeks ago .Amazing concert !But Steve is fantastic 😍😍😍🔝🔝🔝
Well, he tries to sound like David Paich in this song ;-)
Awesome to hear Todd on this. Everyone's Chorus vocals are amazing
Some of the best musicians this planet has to offer, sharing one stage...
Best version I’ve ever heard. The saprano sax playing by Mark Rivera really helps separate this from the other versions. Steve was outstanding!
Yes, you are right about that, I think it was Not a helpful touch. The guy can play but stepping through bunch of notes almost random is out of tune and out of timing to me...
Love this song! And Ringo, too! Peace and love!
Sem palavras... jamais em minha vida pensei em ouvir uma versão tão sublime.
Mark Rivera is just great!! Sax, band leader, and keeping Billy Joel in line. :) Thanks for this video.
That sax player is also Billy Joel's band leader, Mark Rivera.
Holy shit, it is. He's been with Joel for ages, I've seen his face in 'The Longest Time' music video.
That’s a clarinet, but yes, that Mark and he is a great add to any band.
Retired Sergeant A soprano sax perhaps.
Yes you are correct
And Marc can sing too
Stunning version drumming was impeccable too and well done Steve too singing the song 💎💙🙏
Hey finally an amazing version of this song... This is fantastic..
Same...
What a great song and great version of it too....
Nice version. Nice instrumentation. Enjoyed the 80's version of Toto but this is also a nice rendition. Steve Lukhater always great guitar runs.
A wonderful job with a song that always reminds me that I too, "...miss the rains down in Africa..."
Page turns better with age, it's extraordinary to see him reach this vocals, I'm thinking how he can do this
ALL THE MASTERS HERE TOGETHER

That's true but he was also offered the job as lead vocalist of Chicago but turned them both down and stayed in Mr.Mister
Ironically, Toto also considered Jason Scheff at some point before he replaced Peter Cetera in Chicago.
MWCS-48 J.Kenn. Liberty was Billys drummer. That is Mark Rivera
DeVito was Joel's drummer. That's Mark Rivera.

Wow, double wow, triple wow, quadruple wow! That was angelic!
TOTO and Ringo Starr...you didn't go wrong there Ringo ACE love this song
Damn that is one amazing song! LOVED seeing Ringo Starr in there!!!!! LOVED IT! JUST LOVED IT!
Richard Page is amazing!
Richard Page May 16, 1953 Keokuk, Iowa..
Really from Phoenix, Arizona but moved to L.A. at age 19..
The rest is history
What an excellent live version of this classic song. In my opinion this is the best sounding All-Starr band that Ringo has ever put together. They sing one great song after another. Thanks for posting this video.

One of my all time favourite songs - fantastic performance by all and great to see Ringo having fun!! :-)
I just seen Ringo and the All Star Band in Binghamton, NY on September 18th. The show was amazing! Ringo and the rest of the band have definitely aged well.

Ringo Starr is a living legend. Period.
Awesome show in KCMo !Hope Ringo brings it back ! 👏🏻❤️🌻
HAHA Steve trying to sing like David Paich never ceases to amaze me.
Blimey. Not only Ringo Starr on drums but Todd Rundgren on backup guitar! Awesome.
Epic seeing Ringo on the drums with TOTO.
"I seek to cure what's deep inside; frightened of this thing I've become." This line means so much to me.
Damn, Steve and Richard killed it. It's like the vocal equivalent of peanut butter and chocolate.
Richard Page is absolutely incredible!
Ringo is nearly 80. He can do whatever the f he wants. I'd pay to see him do air drums.
Best comment
@@odettelee9095 Ringo might not be classed as the best drummer in the world but he was in the worlds greatest band.
He was 73 but yes..at this age..a lot of musicians and general people have arthritis or other ailments ...
Is there ANYTHING that a well-played soprano sax cannot send into the musical stratosphere? Great version.
RINGO ( The Legend ) Starr enjoying the thing of his past with TOTO!
Goosebumps when Richard sing...
Solo calidad de estrellas y Ringo Starr lo Maximo para mi 👏👏👏👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽🤝🤝Desde La Cd de México 🇲🇽 👍
I was so into this song before my baby boy was born, which for some reason I haven't payed attention all these years. Now it became his first birthday theme: Africa! Thank you Ringo and Toto!

Lukather ain't exactly slacking off!!!
Al Hussein El Abed Yeah, he's voice is prefect for this song! He should Join Toto
He's doing a better job that Bobby Kimball had been doing, lol. But in all seriousness, Joe Williams is doing ok on tour. With some backup.
Yeah, Luke never gets any credit. Anybody else notice that this is a David Paich song and he's totally nailing it? No. Let's talk about Richard Page....
Al Hussein El Abed ist
I didn't know I needed this tonight, but I did :))
Some many legendary musicians on that stage
I saw this line up at The Lyric Theater in Baltimore. One of the best concerts I've ever attended. Folks dancing in the aisles and in their seats. And singing every word. Having Rollie in the lineup gave us Santana and Journey songs. I encourage anyone to see the all star band if you can. If you don't have a good time at these shows then there's something wrong with you.
Richard did perfectly with Bobby Kimball’s parts. It’s not an easy song to sing.
You'll definitely have to be a strong tenor!
Haven't seen this version. Todd Rundgren playing guitar and harmony vocals! And Richard Page playing and singing harmony! Wow!
