It was on 1995 that Bobby Kimball came to Santa Cruz de la Sierra - Bolivia. It was a rainy night and the concert was to be cancelled but the band decided to move on. They decided to play all the songs that Bobby Kimball sang while he was Toto's lead singer and Bobby's stuff as well. I was freezing but next to me there was a true fan, he was with his wife and children (I remeber two toddlers) and he was covering his family with a big blue canvas, he offered me shelter and all of us sang the songs and lived the concert... Thank God the rain stopped and we were able to pull out the canvas and started to dance to this song that at least was played 3 times. This band was the one that played, I remember the guitarrist.
Toto is one of my favorite bands. So much talent with the whole band. I was in junior high school when I first heard Toto and I remember singing to the top of my lungs to Africa and hold the line thinking I sounded a lot like Bobby but apparently my parents thought otherwise. My dad had this thing where he would ask me "who is singing that?" I would say Bobby Kimble and he would say "Oh, well you should let us here him sing sometime!" LMBO! Bobby Kimble's voice is legend and I love his humbleness. I would love to meet him someday.
With he exception of his 1979 performance in his prime, this is by a long shot the best I've heard him sing in his older days. Man this performance is awesome. He even hits the vocal run after the high note of 'it's not in the way you say you're mine' pretty close to the original. Something which I've only seen him do in the vid of 1979.
@iamNathanGreen No, I was talking about the original STUDIO video with the original TOTO members , which was 1978. You mentioned 1979 and that's when they performed live at the AGORA . I know Kimball was on his own from 1983 to 1998 though Kimball, Joe Williams, and Steve Porcaro reunited with TOTO, and they released TOTO XX 1977-1997 which led to Kimball returning and being the vocalist again for 1998s MINDFIELDS. I'm old, but I hope this is a little correct?
He sounds as good and as powerful as he did in 1979/80! Most guys with a higher tenor voice in their youth lose the range and or the power. My goodness, Bobby still kicked it HARD! It's a shame that the guitar solo didn't have the power it had back in 80. I know, it wasn't Steve. However even Steve's guitar playing lost it's fire. It's hard to capture that level of power that you had when you were young and hungry. That is why I was so impressed by Bobby's performance here! Not only singing but smokin the piano also! I think the mic stand was pissing him off though! God bless you Bobby! They don't make them like you anymore. Toto was hungry and powerful when they started out. They continued to make good music through the years until they started losing original members. However the never captured that fire they had on their 1st album. Without Bobby, they were never as good. You can't replace an original like him.
@@simonrobert9858 Bruh, he's not even an original member, he's Jeff P. Replacement, and Jeff was basically Toto itself, he founded the band, choose the name and he's the one who made the "hunter" job, searching members for his band ..... So we could say, following his opinion, that Toto wasn't Toto anymore when he Simon joined the band.
Just FREAKIN AWESOME!!! He's always been a force all his own! Much better with back up singers though and why do these guys get players that can't or won't sing back up vocals?? But he's just amazing !
I think I saw this tour? Was he opening for Kansas? I saw him in Nuremburg. It was amazing! We were right at the stage. I'd never seen anyone sing like that before 2 feet from me. His voice was louder than the speakers. Unreal.
Steve Porcaro once said that during rehearsals and even before the speakers was set up Bobby would come in and said he had he sing a couple of notes and was the loudest thing he ever heard. Bobby said his voice became powerful because he was screaming every night just to hear himself due to no monitors.
Thank you for posting this video of my dad. I love watching him play the piano while he sings ♥️🎵🎶
Bobby was cookin' in this video for sure, greetings from little ol' Sydney ...
Very, very talented man .
It was an honor to play with him!!!
Hope he's doing okay
Hi Allison... I got to play guitar for Bobby back in 1990, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota! We did 3 shows... LOVED that experience!!!
Toto was never the same ones Bobby Kimball left. Fantastic voice one band I missed
Bobby’s voice is unique. There is no other temporary Toto singer that even comes close to Bobby’s style. 😎
bobby is the man there is no replacement
That voice!! my god
Bobby is amazing, he is so criminally underrated. By far the best voice in Rock no questions asked.
Criminally underrated, 100%
Thus is your dad, wow, he has one of the most iconic voices in his own right!!!
He was definetly one of the best male vocalists back in the days ❤

I love it! That's so funny about your dad! 😀
Powerful voice!!!!
What a fuckin voice has
Now you know you're bad anytime you can drink a bottle of water and play the piano at the same time. We jammed with Toto from the 70s and still do.
Incredible talent and voice
amazing Bobby Kimball
Iconic voice
I think Bobby was 49 here. I like the growl he had on higher notes.

The video was in 1978. The song was released in September that year.
@@waltersimmons946 You mean this video or the one I mentioned? Because this video is in 1996 according to the description.

Thanks for the post. Bobby is an amazing singer.
Tearing up that piano! Who knew
Amazing voice.
Still has a hell of a voice. Good job.

I didn't know Bobby played keys. Awesome singer.
The voice of toto 👍👏🎹
Bobby is amazing!
1:20 this is insane.
❤️🎼🎤🎹Bobby had the pipes’ and remains Toto’s greatest lead vocalist
bad ass!
IMPRESIONANTE INTERPRETACIÓN DE BOBBY KIMBALL.
Great performance! When in shape Bobby could keep up with the best of singers.
Amazing stuff - part of my life. Love! So talented to phrase stuff - reminds me of Freddie Mercury in the way of singing. Two legends of mine.
Grande bob y kinball viva por siempre
Genial..
you will all will be the voice
To me, it wasn't Toto anymore when Bobby left.
Indeed, Toto is incomplete without the legendary Bobby Kimball himself
@@aebhosor4835 Joe Williams is a better singer than Bob Kimball nowadays.
@@franklinclinton4690 Yeah, but they're both good to be honest
@@franklinclinton4690 one of thereason Simon left the band "it wasn't Toto anymore"

Never say this one, but its GREAT

Christian Schwarzbach ist ebenfalls zu hören auf der CINEMA-CD "The Discovering Of Time"!
ohh yes hell yeah😁
We had a lot in common in high school bro
Just FREAKIN AWESOME!!! He's always been a force all his own! Much better with back up singers though and why do these guys get players that can't or won't sing back up vocals?? But he's just amazing !
Sounding good Bobby, didn't know you played the keyboards. Any projects lately?
Bobbys not performing he has DEMENTIA.
@@waltersimmons946 Oh no, seriously?
There are some early live Toto videos where he is playing keyboards. I think it was St George and the Dragon from Japan.
@@schuey999 Yes, hes had it for a while , confirmed by his daughter.
He's played since he was 4.... by 5 he could play 300 chords .
Y E A H !
Rite there is the Real Toto
1980?? I think 1978!! Ouch that’s not good he forgot
Bobby ist the voice of ToTo in the early and most successful years of the 70's and 80's. But later on, something changed and he wasn't part of it.
Year?
1996
Gta san
guitar solo sounds like a wasp in a jar
Nice piano!

Sorry Christian, nobody is going to confuse you for Steve Lukather
and that wasn´t the intention!
@@licklag I thought it was a great solo.
