in my opinion Simon filled Jeff's stool equally, with elegance and respect. He also took the band to a new place. I loved Jeff's drumming . In my head there will never be a better drummer to replace Jeff than Simon.
I disagree. No one could groove like Jeff could. Especially when you listen to Rosanna, that pocket is like no other. I think Sput (Toto’s new drummer) is the closest thing we’ve seen since Jeff played.
As a long time drummer myself I cannot begin to explain to anyone who isn’t a musician just how incredibly talented these guys are. However if you have watched this as a non muso rest assured you’ve just watched one of the finest performances by a group of people who are and have been at the very top of their game for a very long time. Absolute perfection all round.
I couldnt agree more!! With Jeff, Steve Porcaro, and Mike Porcaro gone from the band, the replacements of Simon Phillips and Nathan East continue the unbelievable excellence of this band. Simon has played with some of the biggest names in music, Nathan has played on some of the most iconic songs ever, and with the continued presence of David Paiche and Steve Lukather, both playing on some of the biggest songs eve recorded, they truly are one of the most significant musical ensembles ever collected. In regards to studio involvement, they had formed the band before they got into studio work. However, the more session work they did, the more everybody wanted them, individually and collectively. There will never, NEVER, be another band or group of musicians like Toto. They are the best!!!
This song is so complex, I can't say I have a "trained ear", but every time I listen to this song, there's just SO MUCH going on in there! That's why it's one of my faves!!
@@mironmiron2723funnily enough most people would know Joe (well, not exactly know but at least heard him) on the Lion King soundtrack singing "Can you feel the love tonight". Who knew he had a second life as teenage Simba :D
I have to agree he actually does some songs better than Jeff, especially the prog rock stuff. Jeff was the master of shuffle groove, undisputed and unequalled but hearing Hydra with Simon is a completely different ballpark.
I'd say Keith Carlock was the only drummer in Toto whos time feel and pocket was closest to Jeff's. Most probably because of their traditional jazz and blues background which makes them swing even when playing eight notes. Also phrasing is more delicate.
Jamás pensé que Toto podría perfeccionarse aún más. Pero esta versión con Simon Phillips es extraordinaria. Insuperable. Un sublime placer para los oídos!!! Gracias por tanto!!! Perdón por tan poco!!! 🙏🏼
He's played with a lot of people. I saw him at NAMM show or something jamming and who walks up, but Stevie Wonder. He played on Eric Clapton's Unplugged and Joe Satriani's eponymous album
Goosebumps 🙏perfect performance! And the fact that Joseph was coming back to play with Toto shows that they are not just working musicians....they are family! Through the ups and downs in life....love them🙏🌞💜💎🌍
Simon Phillips.. a worthy successor to fill Jeff's drum chair! Simon nails it with his playing technique, skills & sharp precision locking down the groove for the Band! LOVE iT !!.. 😍💕😍
@@king-manu2758 Simon is a great player no doubt but he does not do this tune justice and isn't even playing the right groove for it. Jeff is literally one of the top 5 pocket players of all time in my opinion. Only a handful of guys could lay down groove and time like him. Thats why he was so sought after as a session guy.
@@tedfordsdrumworld910 Simon didn't join TOTO to play like Jeff, he came in to play his own style that's why it sounds different. The band told him not to be a clone of Jeff.
Simon. Ya está bien. Suficiente. No hacía falta tanto para convencer al más agnóstico musical de tu superlativo “don” para la percusión!!! Denle el premio mayor y no perdamos más tiempo!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@markwilliams9613 totally agree and yeah 2007 was a good lineup as well but nothing against greg but I feel if you take out David Paitch its somewhat one step away from the original members. So between the two I cannot pick one because its most likely on the availability of the musician, and at the end of the day these two lineups are the A-list "session musicians" meaning they are masters at their craft so its all good for Toto fans. I.m not really sure about the latest lineup though compared to 2007 and 2013
@dbrinkm1 0 seconds ago What a great tune ! that exemplifies the whole bands legacy of artistic musical qualities ! Joseph Williams - Lead Vocals...is in top form and he has stated this to be one of his favorite songs to sing and to accolade. This tune just reverberates with ordered sound supremacy...Great Toto presentation ! db
Simon Phillips Dynamic, created Toto's style following Porcaro's death, through 2013. Not just drumming, but producing as well. Its a loss that can be heard in their live shows today.
Nathan East with the backup singers on the chorus is pure magic! I never cared for this song, but the entire band makes this performance of it amazing to me. Simon is rock solid in the pocket! Love the Armand hi hats. It's a shame they discontinued them.
June 2024 and Toto still rocking it. My all time favorite band. Was lucky to see them in concert a few years agoThey were in Seattle with Journey. What a night that was.
the level of talent on display, i just cant even describe it. But i will say although i love everything about this live version of this classic, the way Nathan East makes it more funky is just a delight. Love you all.
Super koncert zespołu Toto z trasy koncertowej ,mam go na DVD i co jakiś czas oglądam sobie ,. Joseph Williams z Stevem ze Stevem Lukatherem , Davidem Paichem i resztą zespołu pokazali klasę muzyki rockowej.
in my opinion Simon filled Jeff's stool equally, with elegance and respect. He also took the band to a new place. I loved Jeff's drumming . In my head there will never be a better drummer to replace Jeff than Simon.
jeff would say the same too.
Hard to not see Jeff but Simon NAILS it. Same grooves same respect
I like Simon Philips, but I don’t think his style works here on this song. I lacks punch and energy. Imo it’s also a few bpm too slow.
I disagree. No one could groove like Jeff could. Especially when you listen to Rosanna, that pocket is like no other. I think Sput (Toto’s new drummer) is the closest thing we’ve seen since Jeff played.
@@eliteentertainment237 I am a guitar player, so I don't know the technical aspects of drumming. But Jeff Porcaro is the shit
My favorite Toto song! Obviously, I wish Mike and Jeff Porcaro were still with us, but this lineup from 2013 was excellent.
Simon Philips on drums is making Jeff Porcaro smile
That was some BIG shoes to fill..
Actually, Jeff respected Simon.
Real musicians. Real talent. Real hard work.
Ya got that Right!!!!!! I can watch their vids over and over and never tire of them. Always like the first time
As a long time drummer myself I cannot begin to explain to anyone who isn’t a musician just how incredibly talented these guys are. However if you have watched this as a non muso rest assured you’ve just watched one of the finest performances by a group of people who are and have been at the very top of their game for a very long time.

I agree. Aren't they all secessionist musicians to begin with? This is what I heard

I'm not a musician, but when I watch this band I get incredibly emotional. Toto is undoubtedly one of the best musical groups of the last decades.
@@andreghouse9192 Fully agreed!
This song is so complex, I can't say I have a "trained ear", but every time I listen to this song, there's just SO MUCH going on in there! That's why it's one of my faves!!
One of the best guitarrist , drummer, bassist, keybordist...This band is insane!
vocalist!
@@mironmiron2723funnily enough most people would know Joe (well, not exactly know but at least heard him) on the Lion King soundtrack singing "Can you feel the love tonight". Who knew he had a second life as teenage Simba :D
true
Simon Phillips ... One of best drummers in the world
After Jeff
Jeff porcaro is the best
Without the “one of”
Simon is a very special drummer that really chooses the way he plays solos rather than hitting every drum he has for the sake of it.
Simon Phillips the coolest drummer on Earth
Simon Phillips, Wooooow what a show!!!!
Toto is clearly the best band that ever lived. Their songs and playing are absolutely amazing.
Indeed. I can’t think of a better band.
@@TheDizzleHawke The whole band is one Unit, one body, one soul! Extraordinary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Simon Phillips was the best replacement for Jeff Pocaro. His work around the kit is just genius and fits so well with Toto's style.
I have to agree he actually does some songs better than Jeff, especially the prog rock stuff. Jeff was the master of shuffle groove, undisputed and unequalled but hearing Hydra with Simon is a completely different ballpark.

Simon’s trade mark ❤❤❤fill in! One of the best!!
Simon Phillips = drum beast!!
Joseph Williams nails it!
Nathan East on bass....Wow! One of Jazz's most prestigious bass players. One of my favorites right up there with Marcus Miller
He's played with a lot of people. I saw him at NAMM show or something jamming and who walks up, but Stevie Wonder. He played on Eric Clapton's Unplugged and Joe Satriani's eponymous album
sad that he didn't play those nice slap fills in the verses 😄😪
@@Max-Mustermann46 I'm talking about those original little Slaps in the Verse from the original tune ;) not sth. that he adds
@@J.M.81 I'm sorry about this.😅 It's true that Nathan didn't do the part that Mike was slapping. Lee and David were doing it, so why?🤔
@@Max-Mustermann46 Das werden wir wahrscheinlich nie erfahren 😥😄 vielleicht wars sein erster Gig und er war nervös hahaha
No one is better than the other!
Jeff and Simon both are in a nother level.
Genius❤️❤️❤️
No Percussion needed with Simon Phillips.
More Groovy and this is Simon Phillips
Toto is simply the BEST there is and will ever be.
The words best studio musicians in one Band....you get Toto.
I wonder what Jeff Porcaro is like if he was still alive on this day? He must be killin' those drums with his big and energetic smile!
Goosebumps 🙏perfect performance! And the fact that Joseph was coming back to play with Toto shows that they are not just working musicians....they are family! Through the ups and downs in life....love them🙏🌞💜💎🌍

Joseph is one fine vocalist!
Simon Philips and Nathan East. What a great pair.
Sorry, no one can play these tunes like Jeff.

His sick ass fill at 2:51. Whaaaaaat??????
@@genodrum67 4:36
Simon is for Toto what Todd Sucherman brings to Styx. 🥁🥁🥁
But the great Porcaro and Panozzo are still remembered. R.i.p.
@Ron Garvin Todd is an awesome drummer. 🥁🥁🥁
Simon Phillips 🤩🤘
Simon!!! Such a musical beast!!!!
Simon Phillips is a legende
My favorite band ever!
Toto, for all times.🍀
Toto is an extraordinary band, their music is forever 👌🎵♥️

Joseph Williams! ❤❤❤
Edit: March 2021 and I will come back here again for sure
JOSEPH ♥️
Incredible, brilliant, Simon Philips was epic. Whole band superb.
Simon...The Man!!
Simon. Ya está bien. Suficiente. No hacía falta tanto para convencer al más agnóstico musical de tu superlativo “don” para la percusión!!! Denle el premio mayor y no perdamos más tiempo!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Simon Phillips a master on (Tama) drums, fantastic breaks and shuffles 👌🏼
Amazing TOTO,...I like you...❤
I love this version, imho better than cd version
Ran into Simon at the local hardware store awhile back. Very cool and humble guy.
An underrated song on the radio stations ...
but one of the best of these fabulos guys for me !🎩🎹
When you have this drum player! You can’t get anything wrong!! Impressive !
The extraordinary voice of #JosephWilliams is unique and perfect ☝️👌 I love this song definitely makes me happy 👌💙😍 #Toto forever
00:20 el nivel de concentración de Simon Phillips (el mejor baterista que ha tenido Toto) es admirable!!! se lo extraña!!!!
Say what you want, but this is the best TOTO's line up ever.....
agreed!
Ever !!! Yeah 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I would also agree... BUT I really love the line up they had in 2007 live in Paris for the falling in between tour.

Although Simon is probably my favorite drummer, the current drummer is amazing and a very good fit for Toto.
@@dstfno Can you suggest a video that highlights the current drummer?
Kirk Johnson ruclips.net/video/M-Ft8gpyQ4M/видео.html The whole dvd of that concert is great.
@@dstfno Sounds good . Thanks
Simon is up there with the best. Groovy, and always in the pocket..

Good simon philip 👍👍💢
What a concert, what a band….. craaaaaaaaazy
Simon Phillips e' uno dei batteristi che preferisco. Ha una fantasia ed un tocco fuori della norma.
The intro made me to remember Jeff and Mike smiling faces 😢.
So tight and cohesive, the best live performance of my fav band Toto, cheers !
One of the best band of the planet TOTO.
This is the best version of this song. Period.
What a beast Simon is!!
I miss Simon in Toto
June 2024 and Toto still rocking it. My all time favorite band. Was lucky to see them in concert a few years agoThey were in Seattle with Journey. What a night that was.
Mr Simon Phillips is pure awesomeness! He easily wormed his way into every Toto .fan’s heart. Jeff is surely smiling up there watching him.
Enorme Simon!!!!
They are unarguably AMAZING!!!
Toto the best forever
Perfect!👍
what a great band and song, this is a hall of fame group. Seen them live and its like CD quality sound😄😍
Steve Lukather. Jefe de jefes. Así decimos los mexicanos. Viva toto cabrones.
best of the best!!
One of toto best songs
They're just such top-professionals, they make every second worth while, just splendid!
incredible Simon Philips
I was so happy when Joe rejoined as lead singer. Love this album .. 7:th one
Extremely underrated singer and album. Joe doesn’t need a backing tape
the level of talent on display, i just cant even describe it. But i will say although i love everything about this live version of this classic, the way Nathan East makes it more funky is just a delight. Love you all.
oh, Simon Philips you are a god among mortals. WOW
I can’t stop listening❤️😎
Simon Phillips ... like no other.
Absolutely amazing to be alive during the era of Toto!!!
A M A Z I N G L I V E ! ! !
I totally agree ☝️
It's been 26 yrs but I can't stop loving you...
Singer Joe Williams father is the great composer John Williams of STAR WARS soundtrack
Pura energia, talento innato e groove eccezionali!
Siapa yang dari indoneisa yg suka sama band toto kalo ada angkat tangan
Esta música es para estudio increíble pero cierto se me salen.las lágrimas cuando escucho esto impresionante que locura
Great quality, epic song!
Wow. Great performance and it was filmed in Lodz, Poland where my late father's parents lived before emigrating to America.
That solo 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lo mejor que ha dado la música,que ritmo!!,que pasión!!
Super koncert zespołu Toto z trasy koncertowej ,mam go na DVD i co jakiś czas oglądam sobie ,. Joseph Williams z Stevem ze Stevem Lukatherem , Davidem Paichem i resztą zespołu pokazali klasę muzyki rockowej.
