OK....to ANYBODY that conducts an interview..... when you have a person that will tell stories, DO EXACTLY WHAT THIS MAN DOES....LET HIM TALK!!!!!!! This is amazing.... what a great story teller and a GREAT interviewer. Ask the perfect question, then get out of the way....why can't everybody else get this?? What a pleasure to watch.
You're right. Some interviewers try to micro-manage the interview towards a sort of framework they decided on before the interview and even go so far as to cut off the one they're interviewing just to get them to where they want. They don't seem to get that people come to hear the *interviewee* talk, not to find out what sort of script the interviewer cooked up, no matter how well thought out it is.
I couldn't agree more! Well said mate. By the way, Luke's book is a must-read. So many great memories and fun stories about the golden age of the LA session era, told by one of the main characters of that scene. An extremely talented musician and a down to earth, self-effacing and humble guy. Total respect. Thanks to MHoF for the great interview(s)!
to the producers of this episode...THIS is how you shoot an interview...steady camera, clean shots and let the personalities be the stars! THANK YOU...
As a kid there is a moment when you think Steve Lukather... ‘meh’ ... he played on ‘I Love LA’. Then an older brother or a friend (who invariably knows a lot more than you) introduces you to STEVE LUKATHER and you are completely floored. He’s absolutely one of the baddest men on the planet when he’s playing - but from everything that I’ve seen and heard he’s one of the nicest guys when he’s not. The story about his Les Paul puts a lump in my throat. Reminds me of the kind of thing my dad would do. Hats off to moms and dads who go out of their way to support their kids!
Ahh Steve, I'm tearing up at your dad's sacrifice and love for you. Absolutely the warmest feelings ever. Thank you for sharing this personal moment and life experience. God bless you and your family! Peace.
Thanks for this Steve...My Dad with his blue collar job bought me a new Gibson Les Paul Standard at 14 years old in 1978 Toronto area $900 Canadian...Thank you Dad...brought a tear to my eye.
And such a nice guy. Besides the incredible musician. Had the honour and pleasure of meeting him in Frankfurt in 2009, when a couple of friends of mine I was there with were playing the slot before him every day. Very humble and quite charismatic. Glad to see him seemingly well.
@@LetzBeaFranque I ordered it an hour ago after seeing other parts of this interview. Such an admirable, inspiring, humble and lovable human being, not to mention that he's all over my music collection. I built my first studio in '77, the same year he really started hitting the big time.
I recently thought of the song "99". The memory of this song from my early childhood popped into my head. I never knew it was a Toto song. I watched the video and instantly fell into a deep crush with Steve Lukather. I just watched this interview. After hearing the very touching story about his dad, and seeing how it still moves him to this day, I can say without hesitation that my admiration and respect for this very sweet and talented man is growing. Thank you for blessing the world with your talent and your wonderful memories!
My sister lives 2-3 doors down from Steve Lukather in Studio City...when I visit her I keep an eye out for a Lukather sighting so I can be ‘that guy’ for a minute...he seems like an appreciative man.
thanks guys for mentioning support for music in schools, so many don't have music, or no budget to maintain instruments, just donated a drum kit and numerous orchestra instrument repairs to my son's middle school, they don't even have a budget for any strings, drums heads, nothing.
Thank you so much. Thanks for visiting the museum. The video is filmed on the guitar wall entrance stage in the lobby. These shows air on CBS Channel 5 Plus in Nashville before being added to both their and the museum’s RUclips channels. We’ve been adding about two new programs a month. The next one coming up will be guitar great Duane Eddy. Best, Joe
Waking up in the middle of the night to polish the instrument of your dreams and enjoying the smell of the case is an unmistakeble sign of PASSION, in capital letters. I was doing the same with my pipes set. Thanks Steve for this priceless witness
Luke is just the coolest, nicest guy. I hadn't heard about the dyslexia until now. It does complicate things. I hope he gets to do whatever he feels like without further legal battles from certain individuals~ Rock on Luke we love you! And thank you, Joe for another great interview!
Yes sir. I know what it means when he said he gets chills when holding a historic guitar. I think many of us who truly appreciate the history of what happened in music throughout the 50's 60's and 70's. And sure from before those era's and after....and still today. But what we witnessed in those 3 decades...I don't believe we will ever see that kind of magic again. Which makes these interviews so special. Like loosing EVH yesterday. Were running out of time and I am so grateful for this stuff. Thank you Joe 👍🏻😎
Well, like others here - and Lukather himself - my eyes teared up when his father told him to pack the gear into the car. Not every parent could afford to do that - those were costly bits of gear - but more importantly he did do it. He was paying attention to his son. And thankfully so. Also, as per others who point it out, Joe, do always do such a great job interviewing these people. You facilitate the conversation rather than attempting to own it. Thank you.
I think it’s so cool that someone who has played so much on a variety of different songs was/is in awe of other musicians. Just like us regular fans. Such a down to earth guy! And then he makes you laugh! That story WAS priceless. Thanks Joe!
What a great interview!! I have respected this guy and his talents ever since I first heard Hold the Line back in 78. Even today when I'm listening to all the awesome music that came out back in the day, I can tell usually within a few bars, or the first few licks of a solo that it's Steve playing. This Cat has played on so many of my favorite songs, and so many of my favorite albums, that it's almost unbelievable, but it's all true. I also very much respect his down to earth attitude and his humbleness that he always displays in public. What a wonderful tender soul that God blessed with the talents of 10 men. God Bless you Steve Lukather!
So fabulous to hear my all time favourite guitar player, Steve Lukather, talking about his early days. Such a humble guy who has given us so much great music. Tremendous interview. God bless Steve.
At 61 years old, the one good thing I have accumulated, and, it's mine, _all mine,_ is the kick-ass music and _ALL_ the memories that ride, right along, side by side with the Music. Yes, Classic Rock/R & B, all of it. Without it, I'd be dead inside! *♪♪Thanks for the memories!♪♪♪*
Is always interesting listen to the history of life of great musicians. I was also very touched by the part when Steve tell how he got his first Gibson Les Paul, I guess, from his father. Very emotional stuff. Thank to the interviewer and thanks to Steve Lukather for your incredible music!
That solo in A Clue is great, on point! I can imagine the band's reaction after. Just lifts the song up entirely. But the story of his dad surprising him with that purchase tugs at my heart as well. Pair that with everything he's gone through...I think that's what Steve's music is all about. Gratitude amidst that great talent.
An absolute joy to jump back into this archive and see this. Watching these interviews where always a pleasure. Although Joe has passed we can still get a smile from his special personality.❤
Incredible interview. I used to work with Steve in the early 90's and this is a riveting interview. I think I now want to relocate to the Nashville area just to be near the scene again and immerse myself in it.
Anyone from Australia will remember just how HUGE the Boz Scaggs album 'Silk Degrees' was. Here is the actual chart run of that album, which took nearly a year to make #1 and then stayed there for four months or so. Entry date: 28 June, 1976: 91-78-82-79-64-66-71-47-47-45-41-35-33-32-35-35-33-34-35-38-37-33-39-48-60-71-76-82-78-77-73-77-78-84-86-84-77-73-78-73-67-69-64-54-49-34-23-11-7-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-3-3-2-3-4-4-5-4-4-7-8-8-8-8-10-11-11-13-13-11-9-10-8-12-15-16-20-20-26-29-39-45-54-57
14:20 Just gotta say. That solo he did for Boz Scaggs on "A Clue" is so exquisitely tasteful that it's hard to believe someone could just come up with it on the fly like Luke did. But Luke's a actual genius (which he probably doesn't think he is), so it's not _as hard_ to believe he could do it.
I was in Nashville this past weekend and got to meet you Joe on Friday afternoon before I went in. Toto is one of my favourite bands and Luke is truly amazing. Glad to meet you Joe and thanks for putting together such a great museum and I know I'm gonna love listening to your online content!!!
Oh man I started to tear up on that story about his dad buying that guitar and amp. I would love an Ampeg V4 or V22 even now. AND a new guitar. Nice one Mr. Lukather.
it is done but i think jeff's ex wife is holding it up...lawsuit shit...jeff's brother in law got this going after the wrecking crew movie...called a band of brothers
Steve mentioned the Terence Boyland album from 1977. I totally missed that album at the time. Can't say I had ever heard of it through the years. Cut to just a few years ago while perusing album tracks here on YT, and the song The War Was Over was recommended. Because I had never heard the name, and always on the look out for hidden treasure, I gave it a listen. Instant wow, and a big reason why was the musicianship and arrangement. When I checked out who played on it, I nodded, "of course." Yes, I purchased a copy on one of the services.
Joe...thanks for producing this series! So many of these storeies are incredibly unique and your interviewing style is so disarming and comforting that you have pulled out so much from these legendary musicians and artists. I grew up in Nashville (Madison) before the MHOF was crerated, but definitely look forward to visiting the next time I am in town. (I live in Dallas, now) Thanks much!!!
It's funny that he said that you have to read music to do it right, but looks up to the Beatles, whom none of them could read music. He's sure is a great musician and he sure can tell some good stories.
pssssst....pssssst....Luke....you got all this time off now...recharge and It;s time for a Steve Lukather solo album...right?...right?....lol.... thank you Joe....this is a treat beyond compare...:)
All Us Boys...why TOTO never plays this live, ever is beyond me! One of their best songs ever! 1979...Hydra LP... Luke is one of those guys you meet and he is the same guy in this interview...which is why he is so loved...true.
I just came through the Museum two weeks ago with my sister and brother in law who live in Nashvillel. I live in Los Angeles and I absolutely love the museum. I loved how Steve Lukather is out front along with Billy Gibbons and others above the entrance in huge photographs. Genius! One thing I'd love to see one day soon is a special exhibition of TOTO, revealing all of the many artists the individual members have contributed to. Maybe have an opening night celebration and reception with Luke, Steve Porcaro, David Paich, Joseph Williams, David Hungate and many others there to celebrate their unparalleled history!
Once again, another great interview. It’s nice when you ask the best questions and let the person answer. When you do, the answers are very entertaining and interesting.
How have I missed this one??! I have seen and heard many interviews with Lukather. He is an amazing subject to do. He is honest to a fault, revealing of himself and his history and an eager subject. When he spoke about his dad accompanying him the Guitar Center, my emotions swelled up as well. It’s those moments, small slices of time where our humanity truly presents itself and touches our soul and teaches us something. This is one, if not ‘the’ best, interview of this great musician! Another triumph Joe!! Another triumph!!!!
What a whirlwind life as a musician Steve Lukather has lead. So amazing when Steve talks about seeing the Beatles on Ed Sullivan Show stating it was like 'aliens coming from another world ".This is exactly how i described to younger people. Can remember like yesterday,, I was not into music at all as wasn't very old. Had a sister 8 years older than me. Had a B&W tv set in basement of house,,and she had invited all her cronies to watch this event on a Sunday night pretty sure. They all went nuts when the Beatles took to the Stage! Joe, You have most likely heard the back story how Beatles landed on the Ed Sullivan Show via George Harrrison's sister? Have a very cool cool story how i sat with Georges sister and her hubby at some auto races,,and had no clue who she was at the time,in southern IL(7 hours away from where I lived) !! Just a small town rube sitting with what eventually be some monumental music history in a quirky way! Thanks to MHoFM for this interview with Steve Lukather.
What a great guy. Yeah I read the book in two days flat. World record!!! Wish could of got book out of Jeff P. Lost him way too early in life. What a bunch of talented guys whos gifts to this world will never be repeated. Glad it mostly recorded, except the guy who faded out the ending of Rosanna!!!
OK....to ANYBODY that conducts an interview..... when you have a person that will tell stories, DO EXACTLY WHAT THIS MAN DOES....LET HIM TALK!!!!!!! This is amazing.... what a great story teller and a GREAT interviewer. Ask the perfect question, then get out of the way....why can't everybody else get this?? What a pleasure to watch.
Thank you Larry.... very kind... Best, Joe
Exactly. You hit the nail on the head.

Howard Stern and Eddie Trunk and so many other podcasts can learn from this pro
to the producers of this episode...THIS is how you shoot an interview...steady camera, clean shots and let the personalities be the stars! THANK YOU...
Thanks Jeff.... I appreciate you watching , your comments and thoughts... I loved interviewing Steve. He’s a great musician and friend.

Thanks Treat for watching and sharing your thoughts.....Joe
Me too Treat! Steve is the class act!!!
Thanks for this Steve...My Dad with his blue collar job bought me a new Gibson Les Paul Standard at 14 years old
in 1978 Toronto area $900 Canadian...Thank you Dad...brought a tear to my eye.
Could listen to Steve talk all day
It just now occurs to me what a great job Luke does avoiding 'obscenities' during this interview. Great show of respect for Joe and viewers.
Steve is a Class act, genuine good person and a musical legend
19:02 "Imma start cry'n now..." I confess. I got a little 'happy tear' for him too. What a father - what a son.
What an interesting man. I could listen to him for hours. Playing or talking
And such a nice guy. Besides the incredible musician. Had the honour and pleasure of meeting him in Frankfurt in 2009, when a couple of friends of mine I was there with were playing the slot before him every day. Very humble and quite charismatic. Glad to see him seemingly well.
Read his book. It's great!

Excellent. I enjoyed Steve's humility, talent and backstories.
Thanks for watching Buzz... joe
Steve tells great stories. A wonderful career. He worked hard and learned to read music. All the theory made for creating good parts.
I just love listening to this guy talk.
Dads story gets the thumbs up! So touching.
Luke is just the coolest, nicest guy. I hadn't heard about the dyslexia until now. It does complicate things. I hope he gets to do whatever he feels like without further legal battles from certain individuals~ Rock on Luke we love you! And thank you, Joe for another great interview!
Steve is never mentioned with Eddie and the others but he most certainly should always be in the conversation. The best tone out there.
Yes sir. I know what it means when he said he gets chills when holding a historic guitar. I think many of us who truly appreciate the history of what happened in music throughout the 50's 60's and 70's. And sure from before those era's and after....and still today.

Excellent performer! truly a master. Saw him in person with Ringo Starr All Star Band.

Could listen continuously...Steve is fantastic.❤️
Mr. Lukather should give seminars on how to be a good person. Respect.
What an incredible life Steve has led. Couldn't have been a more grounded and level headed guy.
I like the stories of Steve Lukather; I can feel an intimate connection with the insiders of the music industry. Thank you for sharing!
Me too... Steve is a great story teller, musician and friend. Thanks for watching our channel... Joe
what a great father..
Steve, You are worthy!! So talented!
I've only seen Luke live once and I felt fortunate to be there. I love his outlook.
At 61 years old, the one good thing I have accumulated, and, it's mine, _all mine,_ is the kick-ass music and _ALL_ the memories that ride, right along, side by side with the Music. Yes, Classic Rock/R & B, all of it. Without it, I'd be dead inside!

*I love his storytelling!*
RIP, Joe. You did an amazing job with these interviews, and the Musicians HOF.
Steve is a phenomenal talent and a class act of a person. 👍🤘
Thanks for watching Dan… you are correct about Steve….Joe
Lukather is THE GUY!!!
The archive of interviews you’re making is just so great. Love Steve’s work. He is just killer. Thanks for what you do Joe!!!
That solo in A Clue is great, on point! I can imagine the band's reaction after. Just lifts the song up entirely. But the story of his dad surprising him with that purchase tugs at my heart as well.

Such a great story his dad buying his first LP...
Incredible interview. I used to work with Steve in the early 90's and this is a riveting interview. I think I now want to relocate to the Nashville area just to be near the scene again and immerse myself in it.

Fantastic interview....Thanks for posting....
Thank you Palmatron... Best...Joe
Oh man I started to tear up on that story about his dad buying that guitar and amp. I would love an Ampeg V4 or V22 even now. AND a new guitar. Nice one Mr. Lukather.
Thanks for watching rise.... Joe
Superb interview. Great questions and great job of letting Steve speak. I can see why Steve was so "lucky".
Thank you! Best, Joe
Great musican, great band, great interview. Child's Anthem rocks... grew up with Toto. Thanks Steve.
So glad this is more than one part. So engaging.
Thanks again Steven.....Joe
Toto and Steve Lukather are part of my DNA
I wish they will make a Toto movie, while Lukather and the rest of the remaining band still exists in this world.. 🎦
it is done but i think jeff's ex wife is holding it up...lawsuit shit...jeff's brother in law got this going after the wrecking crew movie...called a band of brothers
@@Joesfosterdogs I read that too. Sad.
That story about Steve’s father buying him the LesPaul made me tear up… as I’m sure it did for many people…
Great stuff,Joe..!! Thanks
It hit me too Joseph… thanks for watching…Joe
Great interview.
Those old VT-22s and V4s had a great grind to them when cranked. Wish I had my old V-4.
Thanks RB... joe

Joe does the best interviews and ToTo changed everything.
Thanks again 1……Joe
That is what a loving Father does for their Son and Grandson.
Great interview! Love Steve! Love Toto!
I was going to make it or be saying “do you want fries with that ?” 😂😂😂😂😂 love it.
It's funny that he said that you have to read music to do it right, but looks up to the Beatles, whom none of them could read music. He's sure is a great musician and he sure can tell some good stories.
Thank you for this, Joe.
Thanks for watching too Douglas.........Joe
Great interview!!!
Always so interesting.
Love Luke’s interviews! Brilliant musician!
An immensely likeable and interesting dude.
Thanks for watching Powell... joe
My pleasure Joe.You and your people are doing great, important work.
What a good dude!
pssssst....pssssst....Luke....you got all this time off now...recharge and It;s time for a Steve Lukather solo album...right?...right?....lol....
thank you Joe....this is a treat beyond compare...:)
All Us Boys...why TOTO never plays this live, ever is beyond me! One of their best songs ever! 1979...Hydra LP... Luke is one of those guys you meet and he is the same guy in this interview...which is why he is so loved...true.
Great interview! Steve is excellent!
Thanks for watching amp man…….Joe
I just came through the Museum two weeks ago with my sister and brother in law who live in Nashvillel. I live in Los Angeles and I absolutely love the museum. I loved how Steve Lukather is out front along with Billy Gibbons and others above the entrance in huge photographs. Genius! One thing I'd love to see one day soon is a special exhibition of TOTO, revealing all of the many artists the individual members have contributed to. Maybe have an opening night celebration and reception with Luke, Steve Porcaro, David Paich, Joseph Williams, David Hungate and many others there to celebrate their unparalleled history!
Thank you for visiting. Working on getting bigger TOTO exhibit now.Best..,,Joe
Such skilled interviewing from Joe. Brilliant work guys!
Thanks Retro… very much appreciated….Joe
And thank you for putting up such great videos. Just ordered Steve’s book!
Once again, another great interview. It’s nice when you ask the best questions and let the person answer. When you do, the answers are very entertaining and interesting.
Thanks again for watching Skip.....Joe
Absolutely Amazing ❤️
Sniff- wish i had a dad like that.
How have I missed this one??! I have seen and heard many interviews with Lukather. He is an amazing subject to do. He is honest to a fault, revealing of himself and his history and an eager subject. When he spoke about his dad accompanying him the Guitar Center, my emotions swelled up as well. It’s those moments, small slices of time where our humanity truly presents itself and touches our soul and teaches us something.
This is one, if not ‘the’ best, interview of this great musician! Another triumph Joe!! Another triumph!!!!
Thanks again 707……Joe
I love your work. Insight that we wouldn't normally wouldn't ever get to see...
Hi McOscillator.... I appreciate it... joe
This was so great I immediately bought Lukeather's book on Audible.
Thanks for watching 795…. That a great book by the way… best, Joe
Great interview
If I may be the 100th person to say, "wow, what a humble, regular guy :-)
What a whirlwind life as a musician Steve Lukather has lead. So amazing when Steve talks about seeing the Beatles on Ed Sullivan Show stating it was like 'aliens coming from another world ".This is exactly how i described to younger people. Can remember like yesterday,, I was not into music at all as wasn't very old. Had a sister 8 years older than me. Had a B&W tv set in basement of house,,and she had invited all her cronies to watch this event on a Sunday night pretty sure. They all went nuts when the Beatles took to the Stage! Joe, You have most likely heard the back story how Beatles landed on the Ed Sullivan Show via George Harrrison's sister? Have a very cool cool story how i sat with Georges sister and her hubby at some auto races,,and had no clue who she was at the time,in southern IL(7 hours away from where I lived) !! Just a small town rube sitting with what eventually be some monumental music history in a quirky way! Thanks to MHoFM for this interview with Steve Lukather.
What a great guy. Yeah I read the book in two days flat. World record!!! Wish could of got book out of Jeff P. Lost him way too early in life. What a bunch of talented guys whos gifts to this world will never be repeated. Glad it mostly recorded, except the guy who faded out the ending of Rosanna!!!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Timit .... joe
I love the story at 26:15 about him and Lee Ritenhour at the orchestra session. I've told anyone who would listen :-)
