One of my best friend was his guitar tech and I was so lucky to spend time with him. He is a nice person, very smart and fair, and a killer guitar player and singer.....
One of the best songs Steve ever wrote, the solos are amazing here, you can see that the band is really enjoying playing together. It must be a great feeling having such a talent. Killer performance!
where it all disapear(( great tone sound playing .... the best era of him 80's and late 90's . he is steel great , become more bluesy bebop thing today, that music man guitar. i understand the more we grow up our taste changes. for me his old tone was wider bigger , like it
The great almighty Steve Lukather!!! He is so underrated - guitar hero/ composer / arranger / producer - his vibrato and bends are out of this world!!! I've been looking for this live version for a long time - thank you so much for uploading it!!! I wish Luke would play songs from this era - there some great songs in that album!!
Thanks ;-). You're right, this guy is a killer. One of my good friend was his guitar tech during 3 years and so I have the chance to see him many times and spent time. He is so kind and humble. Good old memories !!!!!
This damn song just rocks, I been stuck on it for the last few weeks. Man I think it deserved a lot more than it got. I mean it was produced by Eddie Van Halen, has both Steve Lukather and Steve Stevens playing guitar. What more could a person want
Goodness this is unreal 10/10 - I love Toto and have followed Steve for years. I am 50 now and don't even play guitar but just appreciate him as a complete powerhouse. I'm a drummer deep down and got into Toto from following Jeff when listening to The Seventh One. But my god, can you imagine being lucky enough to be around in LA at this time when Steve and all the other members of TOTO were in huge demand from other artistes - plus this was just kinda of THE TIME wasn't it. He was living the dream back then and has been consistent all these years - love it - !
On n'en fait plus de chansons comme ça aujourd'hui , la genèse de cette chanson est le fruit de la rencontre entre STEVE STEVENS et STEVE LUKATHER!!!!!! Deux monstres de la gratte !!!!
This is GREAT, man. I am a huge Lukather-Fan, for more than 40 years now. If you have more of this stuff feel free to share it with us... :-). Thanks for this one!
The Robot Guitar. i did a ton of touch-ups on the finish when I was working at Valley Arts Guitar. Also built the prototype for the Luke Signature model. Luke is a great guy, a good human.
È fantastico 🤩 perchè non ha fatto un video di questa canzone bellissima. Esiste solo questa clip tutta scura. Lui è una forza della natura ❤ Stellare ❤
Hey!! Awesome video!!! Been looking for a very long time to see live performance from this album, thanks!! :D :D Do you know other video of that concert?
@@jemcox2001 I think the original uploader (back in 2010 or sometime around there) stated that he had only caught a couple of songs on film before Lukather's manager approached him and had him stop recording. That being said, recordings (albeit not video footage) from some of his other November 1988 gigs are apparently floating around, so maybe there is a complete recording or two somewhere. It was a great mini tour of SoCal and a brilliant setlist, including Darkest Night, Second Chance, Turns to Stone, Talk to Ya Later and even Hold the Line.

Je trouve l’album superbe mais la balance de réverb de l’époque gâche un petit peu l’ensemble quand on réécoute aujourd’hui je trouve. Je suis à deux doigts de poser la question à steve savoir si un jour il ne remasterait pas cet album...
Huntington Beach November 1988. Lukather did a string of solo dates in the LA area around that time, testing out songs from the Lukather album (which was then being recorded) and also performing Talk to Ya Later by the Tubes, Hold the Line and a John Keane song called 'More' that was eventually recorded for a John Keane solo album. He also performed a song that was left off the Lukather album called 'It Really Doesn't Matter at All'.
@@jaycareaga9929 I'd say definitely November-December 1988. There was a piece on these gigs in the fanzine published by the Toto Legend, the band's fan club at the time. Then there was all sorts of trouble delaying the album's release before Lukather eventually did a few gigs in Japan to promote it in August 1989.
@@sundet81 I was at the show before this at The Palomino it was 1989. The album was released in August of 1989 the few American shows happened after the album was released.

Jee, this is A killer. Been listening Toto/Luke since 77. Every time he makes me wonder... (laughs)!!
This is probably the best Steve Lukather solo performance I have ever seen. He's in great form here - as he was on his 1997 tour.
@Little luke he didn't say it wasn't. He say that he was in good shape as he was in 1997
1991
1989 first solo tour

Unfortunately, he has a hand injury but he still plays magically.
There was also a performance of With a Second Chance from this gig floating around, but I don't know where that went.
What album is this from? Is this Los Lobotomys?
It's the "Lukather" album from 1989... ;-)
That's Joey Brasler on rhythm guitar!!! Joey is an exec at Fender now. So Cool!!!!
Just an incredible performance. Sounding killer!

Do you have another videos from this gig? I have seen the Second Change and this.
there is the beginning of the 3rd track :"little wing" but Luke's manager stopped the guy filming unfortunately ...
Luke rules
I feel a change coming over me
It seems I felt this way before
I sense the sound your eyes won't let you see
I can't take it anymore
Crashing windows, crash
Laughing voices, keep on laughing,
Oh, Oh, Oh
Stop for a minute
I chase the shadows and light
To a place no one knows
I hear the screams of the wind
And I know it's the
Darkest night of the year
Can't tell the dreams from reality
My fears are one and the same
So who made me part of destiny
Who made me part of their game
Can't you feel it hurt
Too much pain to endure
Stop for a minute
Cold wind on my skin
Is the pain that I feel when you're near
It's a midnight street
Where we'll meet
And we'll run from the
Darkest night of the year
Crashing windows, crash
Laughing voices, keep on laughing,
Oh, Oh, Oh
Stop for a minute
I chase the shadows and light
To a place no one knows
I hear the screams of the wind
And I know it's the
Darkest night of the year
Absolutely epic🎸🎶🔥
