Steve Lukather is a beast in every way possible. One of the best guitarists in history.... bad ass composer, writer, arranger, producer, studio session musician, AND the MFer can sing. That's just one guy...the whole band was an insanely talented group. Never see those kinda chops in music today......except maybe in the jazz world.
Well, he loved a lot of the jazz and fusion guys. I love the quote "music was the *only* thing I was good at", rotflmao. He's so incredible in every facet of music. Guess he chose the right profession.
Possibly the most beautiful song ever written, and this live version is just absolutely Amazing!! These guys are in my opinion, one of the Greatest bands of all-time!!
@@oskr1996 I noticed that myself and am all the more moved by the intertextuality. It's almost like a quote or maybe is. Maybe it was an accident. I find it so moving to hear one great guitarist channeling another.
How can you not love this Guy? He’s so amazing, so awesome! So talented, sings so perfectly, and this song, it’s so beautiful, so perfectly done the way only Luke can.. #LukatherBabeForever
Toto won six Grammys in 1983 with their IV album. This song should have been easily a number one hit. Sadly love songs are a thing of the past. Thankfully, we can still go back and reminisce how timeless love songs like this "Just can't be found...Listen to me baby, **guitar......" A timeless performance leaving no doubt Toto is in a class of their own!
Luke also won for that year for "Turn Your Love Around" and Best Pop Instrumental Performance in 2002 with Larry Carlton, which makes eight, but he claims "9" in a recent interview with Sammy Hagar. I've been trying like heck to find the last Grammy cuz I love the guy- just finished his book and I've gone full retard on TOTO music and trivia. LOL
Steve at his best. I dedicate to my husband, Phillip, who passed from cancer 7 weeks ago today. I miss you every second of every day baby. ~Rest in Peace... Phillip, Jeff and Mike Porcaro~
that's a huge issue today.... people are not FEELING the music they are just acting out sounds...like joke music... it feels so fake now.... THIS SONG has all the right things that keep it strong and viable in a humans heart and mind.... like you said that Guitar is gut wrenching you dont hear that today....awesome effort
@@davidmendoza9597 I understand the point she’s making, commercial success does not equate to appreciation. By your logic people shouldn’t be saying Warrant are underrated because Uncle Tom’s Cabin, heaven and cherry pie were commercially successful. Just cos someone is successful it doesn’t mean they gain the respect they deserve... more often than not Toto are dismissed as “the Africa band” by people who aren’t super fans like you and I or music aficionados
Good God, never underestimate the value of really good backup singers. These ladies take what would have been a great live performance and push it up two more levels. Outstanding.
This is possibly the greatest under rated song and band of the 80's, if you were alive any where near this time. If you loved and lost like most of us did, this will pull at your heart strings.
Here because this has always been one of my favorite songs. Im 31 and I grew up listening to music that my dad loved. His taste in music influenced me big time. Now he's gone so I keep this song on my playlist of dad's favorites. They connect me to him somehow. I miss you so much, papa.😢
80s ... I remember when I got in a plane once while looking outside the window and listen to this song over and over again ... What a beautiful night flight it was, the song really fitted that night ...
Brings one back to the earlier times in the late 1980’s thru early 1990’s. So so much easier back then. No pressure. Well nothing like I live with now. Less stressful back then. Oh wait. I was a young boy then. Lol. That’s life. 😊
Man, it's 2018 and my 25 year old daughter is going to see them in concert tonight! I told her to wait for this song especially...it will rock her world...I then realized that I was her age when I first heard it! How is that possible?? A timeless song and one that brings back so many memories...TOTO was/is an amazing band!!
Steve Lukather is FUCKING AWESOME !!! From his electric guitar to his singing, he's fucking awesome. The man plays and sings with his heart and soul. He's got creditable talent above the best of them. That's my personal opinion. #TeamToto #TeamSteveLukather
Lukather is an amazing guitarist, singer & songwriter!! All my fave Toto songs seem to have him as lead! That babyface of his when he was younger......so hot!!
Ahhh it takes me back to my younger days - heartaches, break-ups, playing this song over and over thinking I'd never get over "that guy".. will always give me a little chill no matter how old I get :)
I so completely agree with you...that time when all your emotions were so intense, when you loved so hard and hurt just as much. Ahhhh...This song has such power...make my chest ache.
I’m 25 now but I really appreciate songs from the past decades, 60’s to 80’s. Musics from that time are full of hearts and very remarkable up to these days. Music now a days can be easily forgotten after few months it’s been released and became popular. Old songs has has more impact to me compared to music in this generation. ❤️🙌🙌🙌.
YES! I was just going to post that! I used to listen to this song over and over in high school and simply cry and cry because it was so beautiful. I didn’t realize back then just how much of an impact music had on me. I only knew that I like it. Today I know that music can take away my back pain from scoliosis, my migraines, a toothache, a foul mood..... it can calm me if I’m upset or anxious. Music can also give me energy when I’m tired. Today as I listen to this song, I don’t know if I cry because of the musical/vocal beauty so much anymore as maybe the past and my youth gone. And maybe for that one I let get away........
Oh honey, I was born in the 60s..this was the young adult, in the Navy, partying and falling in 🥰 and marriage..brings me right back but I will share!!!!😀😃😄
I remember playing this on the radio as a Dj on WZFM in Westchester ny. I would sit there listening to the words and I would get the chills. Beautiful song that didn’t get what it deserved.
this is one of the most beautiful songs from Toto but I've ever heard he's got a voice like no other I also am in love with 99 that's another great song what Rolling Stone has said that Africa was one of the top hits and one of their best but I'm sorry I disagree I do not always agree with what magazines say I have a very good ear for music and I have a wide range of Music therefore I love a lot of things and I put them in my own category of my top 10 favorites this is one of them lots of love going out 2 toto😌💖
The guitar solo is just packed with emotion. Not overly complicated or playing 400 notes per second, just hit a note..held it...slowly bend it up...transducing emotion into vibrations in the air.
michael jagger all it needed was joseph williams but was having problems with his voice. nearly asked kimball back but their label suggested they hired JMB. what a mistake toto hated him.
Damn. This is so darn good. Can’t get over it. Love it. Brings me back to the 1980’s when this world wasn’t so darn cruel and folks actually cared for one another. This world is so damn cold that it’s making me cold like it. I gotta keep my composure and focus on God. God bless y’all out there.
It is Mach 2024 and I'm still listening to this beautiful song ❤
August 2024 and l play this twice a day ❤❤❤❤
October 2024 !
Truly amazing talent and timeless songwriting. Today's music has lost this art and l fear it will never be found again. Someone please change my mind.
Steve Lukather is a beast in every way possible. One of the best guitarists in history.... bad ass composer, writer, arranger, producer, studio session musician, AND the MFer can sing. That's just one guy...the whole band was an insanely talented group. Never see those kinda chops in music today......except maybe in the jazz world.
Supergroup
PREACH!!
HOTT DAMN, WELL DONE RIGHT!!!!!
I fell in love with this guy❤
Well, he loved a lot of the jazz and fusion guys. I love the quote "music was the *only* thing I was good at", rotflmao. He's so incredible in every facet of music. Guess he chose the right profession.
Possibly the most beautiful song ever written, and this live version is just absolutely Amazing!! These guys are in my opinion, one of the Greatest bands of all-time!!
Yes can you imagine a symphony orchestra behind this song omg for real😭
I agree. Toto fan here since i was in highschool. I just love Steve Lukather.
Agreed
Com toda certeza
Keep coming back to hear this beautiful piece. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
One of the best and most emotional guitar solos in history
Listen to “Cause We’ve Ended as Lovers” by Jeff Beck, I believe it was inspired by it.
And, yes, that's just Steve playing it live, no other bullshit.
Journeys "Who's crying now" is amazing too! It's a trip how a instrument can sound sad or emotional 😍 still listening in 2021!!
👏👏👏that's right bro
@@oskr1996 I noticed that myself and am all the more moved by the intertextuality. It's almost like a quote or maybe is. Maybe it was an accident. I find it so moving to hear one great guitarist channeling another.
When music was made to last forever......
Very well said. This is heavenly...
Played by ACTUAL people....REAL MUSIC!!!
And when songs were about love not lust!
Amen🙏
Nailed it bro! ❤️
The 80's held some really great moments!! This is one of them... Enjoy perfection folks
The passion in his voice and on his face! I never get tired of this song!
The passion in your face also i love it hot babe 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Me too!
I probably listen to the song 12 times today and listened to the solo about 20
De acuerdo contigo amiga un hermiso tema ,pasional e intenso.
Me either
2024, 19 years old and still listening to my favorite old songs that my dad likes.
Unfortunately, technology over the last 20 years or so has not done rock music any favours.
@@bogan-slayer7469 Yes most likely.
That guitar solo, Luke's voice, all the feels 🔥🔥🔥
There are songs that just make you wonder how anyone could ever have written something so perfect.
Isn’t this spectacular?
My favorite response to incredible music and song is in this case," it went from god, to Steve , to us.
Classics like this and Gangnam Style revive my faith in humanity.
How can you not love this Guy? He’s so amazing, so awesome! So talented, sings so perfectly, and this song, it’s so beautiful, so perfectly done the way only Luke can.. #LukatherBabeForever
I cry whenever I hear this song. It takes me back to childhood and the 80s. Man, give me back the time!
Yep! Great tune,but sad!
@@MichaelSmith-uw2tl I never realized how sad it was until I was an adult
Agreed
I do too. Time has gone by so fast.
Steve Lukather is not only one of the best guitarists in the business but a more than capable singer. A hugely underrated talent.
He's not underrated in other countries......they still pack it out!!!!
So well said...took me 35 years to realize his talent on guitar and vocally. Very, very underappreciated and underrated musician.
I totally agree.
He and Tommy Shaw
for fucking REAL!!!!
Steve Lukather, is my favorite lead singer of Toto, a very talented man, I love his voice. ❤
Me too ❤❤❤
And those sista’s in the background! 😅🎤
one of the best rock band in 80's...thnks for the music Toto...
The greatest love song ever created
Toto won six Grammys in 1983 with their IV album. This song should have been easily a number one hit. Sadly love songs are a thing of the past. Thankfully, we can still go back and reminisce how timeless love songs like this "Just can't be found...Listen to me baby, **guitar......" A timeless performance leaving no doubt Toto is in a class of their own!
Many love songs/ballads got to number one after this.
toto won 6 but lukifer 1 an additional so technically they won 7
Luke also won for that year for "Turn Your Love Around" and Best Pop Instrumental Performance in 2002 with Larry Carlton, which makes eight, but he claims "9" in a recent interview with Sammy Hagar. I've been trying like heck to find the last Grammy cuz I love the guy- just finished his book and I've gone full retard on TOTO music and trivia. LOL
I love Toto...they are superb musicians. Do you notice how great they sound live as well? Forever a fan. Give me the old days any time.
yes@@@@###!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@!!@@!!!!!!!!
Tonya Miller this is one of the greatest songs ever
Gawd I miss the 80s!!
Its so amazing how people discover ToTo, no matter what age. Wellcome to the ToTo community!
I am a millenial and I hate that we dont have this kind of music and musicians anymore. Steve Lukather is really amazing
So awesome that you say this! We genXers were so lucky to grow up in the 80s....
Smart man you are!
Yes
😍😍😍
Boomers are so lucky u know
One of the most beautiful songs ever written
So beautiful, so unique, just Toto. This song is pure beauty
Steve at his best. I dedicate to my husband, Phillip, who passed from cancer 7 weeks ago today. I miss you every second of every day baby. ~Rest in Peace... Phillip, Jeff and Mike Porcaro~
Beautiful note Julie. I’m very sorry for your loss. Toto and the Porcaro bro’s with Steve L is as good as it gets!
God bless you
Rev. 21: 4.
So sorry Julie. What a nice dedication. Brought a tear to my eye
So sorry for your loss. This was the last song played at my wife’s funeral a few weeks ago. She died of cancer as well. Such an evil decease.
His guitar solo is through the heart and back. You just can feel the emotion.
Otra melodía que me transporta a mi juventud y me pone muy triste pero bunoooooooo
that's a huge issue today.... people are not FEELING the music they are just acting out sounds...like joke music... it feels so fake now.... THIS SONG has all the right things that keep it strong and viable in a humans heart and mind.... like you said that Guitar is gut wrenching you dont hear that today....awesome effort
Crying guitar solo slaus
I will NEVER get tired of hearing this song, nor will I ever want to stop watching this hot man singing it. Omg.
You’re right about that…. He’s definitely HOT!
Damn the vocals are out of this world
To be able to sing and play the guitar like this, he's extremely talented!
Underrated? Toto? Never
Toto was not underrated band!!
I'm sorry Karen but they're not underrated. A lot of their songs hits the top chart on billboard during 80s.
@@davidmendoza9597 I understand the point she’s making, commercial success does not equate to appreciation. By your logic people shouldn’t be saying Warrant are underrated because Uncle Tom’s Cabin, heaven and cherry pie were commercially successful. Just cos someone is successful it doesn’t mean they gain the respect they deserve... more often than not Toto are dismissed as “the Africa band” by people who aren’t super fans like you and I or music aficionados
maybe because they are from the East Coast.
Good God, never underestimate the value of really good backup singers. These ladies take what would have been a great live performance and push it up two more levels. Outstanding.
Agreed! The ladies were amazing.
I was just thinking the exact same thing! They're amazing!!
Yes They 're incredible
heather fraser
Anthony Delamont Also, Timothy B. Schmidt is a back-up singer on the album version of this song.
This song should have 3.6 billion views . It's just amazing to me
steve’s haunting voice and crying stings, love it
❤❤❤
3:28 ADRINETTE SONGGGG 🐱🐞
Yesss
AAAAA
Yes, but it is also similar to Careless Whisper
OMGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!! I LITERALLY CANT BREATH TIGHT NOW I-
Yess 😍😍😍
I don't know what surprises me more about Lukather, his beautiful way of singing or how handsome and sexy he looks in this concert.
Alice in normal land All of it is true & I’m obsessed with him now! Lol 😆
Handsome sexy beautiful... I'm in love with him 😍😍😍😍😪😪
Yes the closed eyes and the taut mouth when he sings the long notes...aaaaah
I have not ever been thought that he was attractive like here, so skillful musician, finally my platonic love
I think all those youve mentioned.😂😭😭 Im crushing on him.Really!And I was born on 1998.😭❤️❤️❤️
I can listen to Luke sing and play all day love love this song
That guitar solo is proof that sometimes less is more
Steve was a master at that
that's impossible, more is more - Yngwie Malmsteen 😆
la música es el silencio entre las notas
Since I was 15, one of my most favorite ballads. Countless tears shed over this song, before I even knew about love.
Such a great song. Still get chills when I hear it today.
This is possibly the greatest under rated song and band of the 80's, if you were alive any where near this time. If you loved and lost like most of us did, this will pull at your heart strings.
If you want an example of a flawless live performance then look no further. This is right up there with the best. Absolutely top draw
This is the voice of Toto. And Jesus christ what a good singer.
...wow, I didn't know Our Savior was Toto's lead voice!!!!....
YASSS!!!!!
Beautiful song, beautiful memories!!😢very emotional song, wow!
One of the best songs ever composed by humans!
My favorite Toto song!!! Makes me cry! So perfect! Steve Lukather!!!
One of the most underrated songs by this great band,and definitely one of the best.This live version gives me goosebumps.
Here because this has always been one of my favorite songs. Im 31 and I grew up listening to music that my dad loved. His taste in music influenced me big time. Now he's gone so I keep this song on my playlist of dad's favorites. They connect me to him somehow.
I miss you so much, papa.😢
This song brings tears! It makes me realize how much I Love my wife!
Beautiful song! Gives me goosebumps to this day!
wow I'm shocked at how great his voice is live
why kate?
I guess because in my personal experience people don't sound as good Iive as they do on recordings
Kate D listen to more 80s live music
His "I'll be over you" live is just sounds like the recording
I feel ya. Few "singers" are able to sound a million times better live than in their recordings. He beyond nailed it!!!!
80s ... I remember when I got in a plane once while looking outside the window and listen to this song over and over again ... What a beautiful night flight it was, the song really fitted that night ...
....At 3:28 Steve's guitar solo is one of the most beautiful solos for me ...
I have no words to express my constant delight ...
Not much in todays music actually makes me smile and think wow but that guitar solo did it
iwona 0167 I came for that specific part
iwona 0167 Agreed It gives me goosebumps every time
Beautiful !
In my country, this guitar solo is one of the most recognizable riffs ever. Absolutely beautiful!
Brings one back to the earlier times in the late 1980’s thru early 1990’s. So so much easier back then. No pressure. Well nothing like I live with now. Less stressful back then. Oh wait. I was a young boy then. Lol. That’s life. 😊
Memories of my teen years.
Man, it's 2018 and my 25 year old daughter is going to see them in concert tonight!

A timeless song and one that brings back so many memories...TOTO was/is an amazing band!!
Timeless indeed....
did it rock her world?
Steve Lukather.... you're the best!!! Great song, great voice and great band ever ......!!!
Lukather is one of the greatest guitar players in rock! Now his voice is diferent...but his guitar is still heroic...
love ya Steave ever!!
BeaLukather Jackson Steve hoy área the bestia forma ever
Toto Is the best
aha its true one of the best guitar player of rock, he played the rift of Lionel Richie "running with the night", excellent, a master
Steve Lukather is FUCKING AWESOME !!!
From his electric guitar to his singing, he's fucking awesome. The man plays and sings with his heart and soul. He's got creditable talent above the best of them. That's my personal opinion.

#TeamSteveLukather
Genau MeinFreud!
One of the best, sweet voices in the world. Song is a 100. Always gives me chills, since the first time I heard it on the radio...
I was born in 1957 and realize that every decade has great music. If I stuck with the 60's, I wouldn't have experienced this!
That Guitar solo's just amazing.
Paolo Landicho muy cierto es un solo de guitarra que esta bien ejecutado....excelente
I still dig the crap out of this song after all these years. You da man Steve Lukather!
Lukather is an amazing guitarist, singer & songwriter!! All my fave Toto songs seem to have him as lead! That babyface of his when he was younger......so hot!!
KelleyKell you’re right .... sooooo hooot! Lol 😆
Beautiful , haunting and brilliant !
This is art right here.... People nowadays just do it for bussiness.... This is passion and love of craft.
There's absolutely nobody who can pull this kind of music off anymore. Great, great song.
So true... music these days has no soul...
Ahhh it takes me back to my younger days - heartaches, break-ups, playing this song over and over thinking I'd never get over "that guy".. will always give me a little chill no matter how old I get :)
I so completely agree with you...that time when all your emotions were so intense, when you loved so hard and hurt just as much. Ahhhh...This song has such power...make my chest ache.
Yes, sweala69! Thank you for a better description!
Everyone talks about how epic that guitar is...but don't forget about the keys!!! It's definitely not the same song without it!
the world could use some beautiful songs like this again ❤️
Steve Lukather is not only one of the greatest guitarists of our time, his voice is absolutely beautiful
I’m 25 now but I really appreciate songs from the past decades, 60’s to 80’s. Musics from that time are full of hearts and very remarkable up to these days.

Power Ballad by the great TOTO

This song was written by Steve Lukather, and is (in my opinion) Toto's best song by a country mile
I won't hold you back :)
Agree, and just and beautiful heartfelt song, sung by one of the best guitarist in the world
Mine is I'll be over you
Agree! And Steve's voice is just so raw and haunting. Man...he's gorgeous to boot!
though, i'll be over you also classifies as one of their very best
The time and the era remind me of my first love in high school. I have never stopped loving her. My saving grace is my wife of 20 years.
3:27 pure emotion transformed into music. A masterpiece.
I will always love this song 💗. I was a teen in the 80's. Music from the past are the best.
This song is SO BEAUTIFULL
I love Luke

The pace of this song is just incredibly perfect! Not rushed, but still has a lively pace.
from the 80's a time I was in my twenties!! Super Groups & concerts. I miss these times now being my 60's
The backup singers are fantastic on this. My all time favorite Toto song, Luthaker kills it live.
Siestas bringing it!!
This 1990 performance personifies the incredible talent of Steve Lukather. Best on the planet..!!!!
Ridgeback Do you also know in which town this concert took place?
You say it so
I only learned today that this is what Roger Sanchez sampled for his 2001 hit ‘Another chance’. What a beautiful sing the original is!!!
Absolutely nothing on the radio can stand to the Prue power of this song,:-)
Beautiful song💕I miss my husband😢
The best Toto orchestral composition ever.
I can never get enough of this performance or this song. Steve sings this song with so much passion. Made me feel it!!
What a Fricken masterpiece of a song !!
Thanks God I was born in the era that there are a lot of great singers... Love this song so much
I love toto songs
I absolutely love this song!!!!
This is what we call music and real talent...I'm very thankful I was born on early 80`s
Oh honey, I was born in the 60s..this was the young adult, in the Navy, partying and falling in 🥰 and marriage..brings me right back but I will share!!!!😀😃😄

The guitar solo is just packed with emotion. Not overly complicated or playing 400 notes per second, just hit a note..held it...slowly bend it up...transducing emotion into vibrations in the air.
agree
So true.
you've about hit it in a nutshell there. spot on
michael jagger
all it needed was joseph williams but was having problems with his voice. nearly asked kimball back but their label suggested they hired JMB. what a mistake toto hated him.
this is excellent.
Damn. This is so darn good. Can’t get over it. Love it. Brings me back to the 1980’s when this world wasn’t so darn cruel and folks actually cared for one another. This world is so damn cold that it’s making me cold like it. I gotta keep my composure and focus on God. God bless y’all out there.
They say forget about the past, but how could i with music like this. The Universe is magnificent and so is Toto.
Love Toto! Fell in love with their music in high school! Sometimes wish I could go back! The 80's were magical!!!
This is the most beautiful song that Toto ever sing I don't believe that I will ever get tired of this song I listen to it several times a day
