One of the things i love about youtube is how you accidentally stumble across bands, and you ask yourself, "who are these guys?', and suddenly you are binge watching them. That'e these guys!
Ryan McQuerry, kudos for absolutely CRUSHING the shuffle! Most drummers covering this song can't quite get it or make it so so effortless and easy. Damn fine job!!
This has it all - the difficult drum shuffles, bass guitar attack, with a nice touch of lead guitar, keyboard runs, percussion flourishes, smoking brass, and flawless vocals... Brilliant!
That shuffle beat at the beginning is one of the hardest drum parts to nail. Jeff was a genius. Whoever this cat is in the red and blue shirt doing the Bobbie KImball part is spot on!!!
Those fills with the horn hits are SO hard to get. It's one of those fills that doesn't seem right, but works perfectly with the music. Jeff was such a talent, and this drummer is phenomenal.
@@moparedtn It's not an easy shuffle , but let's not exaggerate , it's still just a straightforward shuffle with ghost notes. Lots of way more difficult drum parts around.
Drummer effortlessly played one of the most hardest and often done wrong shuffles. Awesome job to the high end singer. Keeping the great music of the past alive. Ty
I’m ticked off. Seeing this drummer doing a double time modified Purdie shuffle a la the late great Jeff Porcaro with effortless ease just grinds my gears.
And they’re always smiling and having a good time. Either they love what they’re doing or they just plain out know they’re awesome! Probably both. Lol.
One of the greatest songs ever created -- what an arrangement that the Toto guys created in the original -- and this cover is nothing short of stunning.
Kudos to the drummer nailing down the shuffle. As a drummer, I know difficult it is, not just to play the groove, but to be able to play it right and give it life like Jeff did! Great job!!!
WOW, the lead’s voice is awesome! the rest of you are great as well. Horn section is incredible. Drummer has the rhythm and beat perfect. You guys are the best! The lead guitar is right on! Let’s not forget the girls they are always great! Keep the songs coming!
So many different artist to pull of these tunes by various Covers. But we'll worth listening to. Awesome job American Artistry. 💿👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎🙊🙉🙈💥📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀📀
Well, I just found your group and I've been listening in on many of your past recordings. THEY ARE ALL OUTSTANDING! You cannot tell the difference between the original recording by the original recording groups and your recordings. I'd call them covers but that would be an insult to you guys. As I listen to your past recordings they are a treat and I will look forward to your future recordings. I wish I had found you sooner! Best regards, Your newest subscriber, Will Ortiz
TOTO has always created highly technical, complex,difficult, unique, beautiful, songs. Nobody had been able to match that....until NOW....Lab Band ....you nailed it!! ANAZING!
I must have listened to this at least 20 times. I find another part of the “LLB Formula” every time! From Ryan nailing the Rosanna Shuffle to Vandee dropping the bass bombs. I’ve got a fever and the only prescription is more LLB!
Ian, good comment. Check out them doing BOSTON. Flawless musicians!! I still don’t understand how they do it. Im a singer and drummer myself, but I can only wish I could do what these guys do…
wow! I'm seriously blown away at how good this was. My hairs were standing and I was over come with joy inside. I wish you many millions of subscribers!!! Everything I hear from your group is exceptional.
Im from a very small town.Youngstown Oh. I know for a fact that they would sell out every venue in this town.Trust Me.!!! We love our music here.Youngstown is a very popular town for music.Trust me .Northeast Ohio is the music capital of the world.!!!!!!!!
SE KY is waiting guys 👍. We even have a new arena. Where and when will tickets go on sale 😁 Or let us know where you are playing and we'll come to you. You guys are really tight band👍
Okay, this has to stop. I have things to do, but this Lexington LabBand project keeps covering my favorite songs. I was supposed to be out the door a half hour ago. Note for note, spot on, if not better. Thanks guys
ENTIRE BAND IS WORLD CLASS YOU GUYS SING AND PLAY ALL THE MUSIC EXACTLY LIKE THE ORIGINAL GROUPS AND I LOVE IT THANK YOU ALL FOR BRINGING BACK THE MUSIC GODBLESS YOU ALL AMEN
Just an absolutely amazing rendition of this song! I absolutely love it it's incredible and so true to the original masterpiece! Keep rocking and thank you much.
Curious as if you have many gigs… you should, but in this time of live music being dead, what a shame, how can you not like this!! I am jealous and wish I was your bass player!
Holy shit, where do these singers come from? The drummer -- stunning! This song isn't easy to do (looking at you drummer). They nail it in my opinion. All of them.
Oh.... my.. freakin'..... hell..... WTF DID I JUST FIND?!??! Sounds like a lovely piece of musical heaven to me!!! Absolutely incredible guys and gals!!!
Holy freaking crap, man! Toto is one of my absolute favorite groups from the AOR period, and you guys absolutely MASTER this song!!! I’m sitting here working with my headphones on and this comes on and I literally had to stop what I was doing because I was like “wait, i’m listening to LLB on YT right now, how did this random Toto song get into the playlist?!” and then I realized it was you guys… If I didn’t have a way to check, i literally would have thought this was Toto re-recording the songs with today’s tech. Love it!!! ❤

One of the things i love about youtube is how you accidentally stumble across bands, and you ask yourself, "who are these guys?', and suddenly you are binge watching them. That'e these guys!
So true. Try Leonid and Friends a Chicago cover band from Russia, will knock ur sox off.
Hell Yeah!!! Well said!
Michael D. I just gave Leonid a listen. Wow.
@@olentangy74 Pretty unreal right? They barely speak English as well. I stumbled upon them 2 yrs ago.
@@olentangy74 ruclips.net/video/S23VK1v9dB8/видео.html Interested ur take on these guys.....
Another home run!!
Man, as a drummer for 50+ years, I am totally blown away by Ryan McQuerry! He is so versatile and locked into the pocket, any style. That's ANY style!
Pacarro would approve
I feel exactly the same about Austin. These guys, all of them, are unbelievable.
Ryan McQuerry, kudos for absolutely CRUSHING the shuffle! Most drummers covering this song can't quite get it or make it so so effortless and easy. Damn fine job!!
Indeed! the PURDIE SHUFFLE - Bonham copped it for "Fool In The Rain" - and Toto copped it for this gem.
Purdie good job!
@@RichardMoretti I see what you did there..🤣🤣🤘🤘
So why did he leave the ghost notes out of the intro? That's the most iconic drum intro and there are no ghost notes on the snare....
@@RichardMoretti - yeah - that one deserves 👏
I LOVE how LLB takes a tune and plays exactly like the version they learned from. LLB has nothing but excellent musicians. 💯
The attention to detail is unmatched.
Purely AMAZING!
You are correct. Not only play it tight but live! The musicians are incredible and the gear they use blows me away.
This has it all - the difficult drum shuffles, bass guitar attack, with a nice touch of lead guitar, keyboard runs, percussion flourishes, smoking brass, and flawless vocals... Brilliant!
We love Toto and put a lot of work into that episode, it's so great when people notice and appreciate all that's going on, thanks!
finger snaps too
Spot on. Love it.
Music for musicians!❤ Love it!
I can't find the words to explain just how great of a tribute this is to the legendary, Toto!! Everything is just jiving perfectly!!! Cheers!!! 🎹🎸🎤
Wow, tight, tight!
That shuffle beat at the beginning is one of the hardest drum parts to nail. Jeff was a genius. Whoever this cat is in the red and blue shirt doing the Bobbie KImball part is spot on!!!
The high part is nothing that any Irish Tenor could not do easily. I love this cover band.
...at least , HE hits the notes.. 🤣
@@jeanmariezeyen111 Bobby hit the notes back in the day.
@@jeanmariezeyen111 Coke is one hell of a drug
He is Kirk Mays.
RYAN, you *NAILED* the drum part.....that's one of the holy grails of drumming and dude, you killed it! Fantastic!!!!
Jeff Porcaro is one of the best and yes Ryan did not disappoint us. True Master of his craft.
Probably your best cover EVER!
Drummer is KILLING that groove! NOT an easy one!
Nice job, the drummer did an excellent job with the Rosanna shuffle.
Sound like Toto, There are no differences, Great job, excellent musicians, Awesome,
Drummer has the "Rosanna Shuffle" down perfectly !!!!
Never tire of listening to Ryan play the drums. He makes even the hardest songs seem effortless. Just a stud. Thanks, Ryan!
Ryan is the metronome monster, and is …
Dude is a brilliant drummer, wow. Well said 👍🥁
I’ve never, ever heard a “cover” band do originals as good, probably better than the original artists…
The backing vocals performed by those splendid ladies take this song to a different dimension.
What a performance, guys! My goodness...
That was just AMAZING! You guys rocked that one hard. Absolutely fantastic entertainment for me. I loved it.
Me too....🎉🥳🎉🎉🎊🥳
LLB is the best cover band around!!
Nostalgia nostalgia.Rosanna
I have viewed all of the LLB videos. This has to be top 5 of my favorites.
Top 10 for me at least.
The drumming on this track is phenomenal.
Sure is - Jeff Porcaro based the original on the Purdy Shuffle and it's certainly
"advanced drumming" for sure.
Those fills with the horn hits are SO hard to get. It's one of those fills that doesn't seem right, but works perfectly with the music. Jeff was such a talent, and this drummer is phenomenal.
@@scottleitch2957 Agreed on all counts!
@@moparedtn Killer!! Jeff was helping!!
@@moparedtn It's not an easy shuffle , but let's not exaggerate , it's still just a straightforward shuffle with ghost notes. Lots of way more difficult drum parts around.
I clicked just to see if the drummer could pull off Porcaro's beat for the whole song.
He did! 👍👍
The rest nailed it, too. 💥👏👏
I checked for the same reason! Great job, great, accomplished musicians.
Yup. Same here. By far the best cover I heard. 👍🥁
Exactly - tough one to get right, and he nailed it! Band is excellent.
Ha ha ha...me too!!! The Porcaro bros would approve.👍
ME TOO LOL
The guy singing Bobbie Kimballs' vocal, (original Toto lead vocalist), is right on the money.
I couldn't agree more.
I think it’s time for you guys to bless the rains down in Africa?
WITH! the Mike Porcaro bass solo.
....Yeah... What Scott Said....+1
I Agree !! that would be amazing
Wait... Just... "Hold the line" ... No, you´re right: Africa would be better... They did "Hold the line" :-)
Tight and well rehearsed.
That "Rosanna Shuffle" is not an easy drum beat...great job guys
called "half time shuffle" too ;)
I think it's based off the "Purdie Shuffle." Not easy at all. I saw a lengthy video tutorial on it. One of my favorite bands. Awesome rendition
@@jasonpierson9829 Bonham nicked it too on fool in the rain!
@@jdb62 I shall give that a listen. Thanks
cute drummer!
These guys are extremely accurate in re-creating the studio sound like the original recordings. Very impressive!
Pure magic.
It's obvious that 64 people are beyond clueless. This is awesomeness
We'll said! It's up to 68 now. Still clueless. Lol! 🤣
@@timbobryan now its up to 71, they are toads jellin'
85 now. They need their own island.
Not clueless, but dead.
Tone deaf idiots
Drummer effortlessly played one of the most hardest and often done wrong shuffles. Awesome job to the high end singer. Keeping the great music of the past alive. Ty
pffff! Bravo !!
Right on the target😁👍👍💙
Beautiful 👏👏👏👏👏
The entire band is world class...whomever produced these pieces is superbly talented.
Amanda & Jessica. ..💕💓
Geweldig. Super
The girls add a lot too. Love to hear them singing, dancing, and just having a good time. Keep it up!
I’m ticked off. Seeing this drummer doing a double time modified Purdie shuffle a la the late great Jeff Porcaro with effortless ease just grinds my gears.
That's got to be the best Bobby Kimball impression I've ever heard!
thanks for keep the legacy of the greats alive.
these are good enough for a world tour
For those that maybe don't know, this drum part is incredibly difficult to play. This group never ceases to amaze me.
And they’re always smiling and having a good time. Either they love what they’re doing or they just plain out know they’re awesome! Probably both. Lol.
Grade A+.
One of the greatest songs ever created -- what an arrangement that the Toto guys created in the original -- and this cover is nothing short of stunning.

Let’s not forget the girls they are always great! Keep the songs coming!
The second greatest discovery in human history was music. The greatest discovery was rock music....Support live music!
It never ceases to amaze me how musically flawless these covers are. This is no exception.
Wow...in awe...holy smokes...🫡
The Best Cover Band anywhere !They kill it each and every time!!!!Amazing!!!
Ryan, you sound just like Pocaro, Bravo, Bravo!!!!!!
Oh wow. The whole thing is great. Not many covers do justice to the Bobby Kimball vocals like this, top notch.
Thie vocals n harmonies sound exactly like Toto❤❤❤❤❤
Musicians are over the top Awesome 👏👏👏👏
Of all the songs LLB has covered, this is one of the hardest and least expected. Nice job by everyone!
Rosanna it's name of my first love💕
Ah yes, the famous Pocaro shuffle! 👍
Goosebumps.... I wish you’d go on tour. I be first in line.
we would love that!
If it's in Portland OR...I will be there!!
@@LexingtonLabBand Australia? PLEASE
@@homemclaughlin7830 Portland? Not now-a-days...

Came back 4 yrs later for another listen. So many great covers by LLB, but I’m still lovin’ this one.
Drunmers got a hard beat. Half-time shuffle and got all the details. Rest in Pease Jeff Porcaro!
The best band alive that nobody’s heard about
Well, I just found your group and I've been listening in on many of your past recordings. THEY ARE ALL OUTSTANDING!

As I listen to your past recordings they are a treat and I will look forward to your future recordings. I wish I had found you sooner! Best regards, Your newest subscriber, Will Ortiz
Just nailed it! No ifs, ands or buts. Would love to hear this group do Toto’s “I’ll Be Over You.”
We did it! Check it out on our page!
03:55 the smiles after this part… they all know he nailed that vocal piece 👌👌👍👍🫡
Hmmm. Perhaps he did but it sounds very very very much like the Bobby Kimball's original vocal piece right there
TOTO has always created highly technical, complex,difficult, unique, beautiful, songs. Nobody had been able to match that....until NOW....Lab Band ....you nailed it!! ANAZING!
Good to have you back band
I must have listened to this at least 20 times. I find another part of the “LLB Formula” every time! From Ryan nailing the Rosanna Shuffle to Vandee dropping the bass bombs. I’ve got a fever and the only prescription is more LLB!
My new favorite!! Thanks LLB…
I've seen alot of coverbands on youtube this one just totally blew me off WOW!!! I'm checking out the rest of their cover songs Love this band.
Know what you mean Ian, a recent find and convert myself 👍🏻
Ian, good comment. Check out them doing BOSTON. Flawless musicians!! I still don’t understand how they do it. Im a singer and drummer myself, but I can only wish I could do what these guys do…
You guy's are so tight!!!!!! AWWSOME!!!!
One of the toughest drum parts ever. Played flawlessly..outstanding!
Really? You've never heard of RUSH?
The "Quality Control" is just there no matter which song.
wow! I'm seriously blown away at how good this was. My hairs were standing and I was over come with joy inside. I wish you many millions of subscribers!!! Everything I hear from your group is exceptional.
Absolutely FLAWLESS !
SERIOUSLY...if you close your eyes and listen. It's almost impossible to tell the difference!
Seriously - your fan base deserves to see a concert tour. You all so talented, please do a 30 city tour each year, fans want it
I would love to see them tour!
Yes.Yes. Yes. I cant agree with you more Steve. Love this band.!!!!

SE KY is waiting guys 👍. We even have a new arena. Where and when will tickets go on sale 😁 Or let us know where you are playing and we'll come to you. You guys are really tight band👍
This is a very difficult cover. You nailed it, the harmonies, Porcaro's shuffle, Kimball's vocal range, horns section. Well done.
The chorus efforts performed in this cover are amazing. There is no tonal difference between the cover and the original.
I picture myself finding a genie in a bottle and asking him to bring me here and now Toto to perform for me, and he makes Lexington Lab Band appear!
Dude, that was Mark Hamill on the piano! You guys are so tight! I can feel your joy coming through.
You played songs of my golden Era, 1980s. I'm 60 years old now.
❤😢
Nailed that Porcaro pocket! Great job! The Purdie Shuffle is not an easy part to play
Okay, this has to stop. I have things to do, but this Lexington LabBand project keeps covering my favorite songs. I was supposed to be out the door a half hour ago. Note for note, spot on, if not better. Thanks guys

Go to their website. Just wait until you hear some of their other stuff!!!!
Three words: Tour ... de ... Force. 👊👌 #LLB
The smiles on the musicians and singers say it all.
