It's not enough to simply mimic a song, there has to be a little splash of your own that makes it special. And I think you folks nailed it. The vocal harmony was so well done, it nearly gave me the shivers. This is one of the best covers I've ever had the pleasure of listening too.
Very nice cover of a great song, love the red head girl, and her stunning voice. It has a nice exclusive flavor as well. Rock on guy's, sweet Job..🎸🎼....
Wow! That was AWESOME! Gave me the chills how well it was mixed as well. Most of all the attention to detail, speed, and the addition of the personalized touch you guys gracefully added! Thanks for this! Huge props, glad you picked this song. From a drummer who appreciates this genre, you guys are a treat!
Great cover guys....!! I was living in cali when this hit the air waves nearly 40 years ago, my band was the first band to cover this while it was on rotation in our area...!! I was 25 or so, 65 years old now, always loved that song and stole as many Lukather chops as I could manage. I'm happy that terrific up and coming players like you guys are keeping great music like this alive and well...!!! Keep it up 😎🎸👍🏻
For my 2 cents (probably 10 now with inflation), it rocked. The mix was excellent. I’m 64 and have been playing guitar for about 50 years and still play in a cover band and I would be proud for us to sound that good on that song. I just really appreciate the work that goes in to it and the time on the mix. It looks like you’ve got a sweet setup there too with the speaker cabs in the other room. Great, great job guys!
OK, so it is a little under on the tempo. But come on you guys - this is a perfectly good cover. No-one is claiming to be a Toto replacement here. It's solid and entertaining. If the negative comments are examples of how those people would 'encourage' their friends, family or children they're really rather sad.
I'm a drummer and probably the most critical person of cover bands I know. This is a fine cover. Clean, the right instrumental parts, the right vocal parts, and no overplaying. Does it sound exactly like Toto? Of course not. But, who does? Keep up the good work band. Don't listen to the envious wannabees.
I hear a great version of this song. perfect voice equalization, singing all the time in tune. and all the instruments too. i would like make this song in my home. GREAT WORK boys and girl !!!!!!
I agree Johnny Rotten. This is a great versión of that song. Excellent voices, with auto-tune or not, instruments with sound and tune correct. Of course it´s not Toto, but its a the Band did a excellent cover.-

Johnny Rotten. Dude if you're a drummer playing this song you need to take a few steps back and actually listen to the song. It is missing beats and beats where there shouldn't be beats. Typical drummers who don't learn their parts.
you are exactly right, the problem was the 3rd chord was supposed to be B, D, and A, from C#, E, A of the 2nd chord. What this guy played was B, E, and A. It's tricky because the next chord is B, E and G#, so he probably just didn't bother and kept the same middle note on the chord.
Very nice cover 👍 Awesome to see/hear that rock hasn’t died. “The ole boy may be barely breathing, but the heart of rock and roll is still beating” - HL & TN
Excelente cover. Si quisieramos oir a Toto, buscariamos la version original. Este cover combina la magia de conservar la personalidad de la cancion y aderezarla con el sello de The Running Mates. Saludos desde Mexico.
i DON'T GET THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS ETHER , We all have tools at our disposal to help us be better, in what ever we do, but yet all people can say is they don't like it because they are using pitch correction, Do these people realize that Toto them selves, and other big name acts Also uses pitch correction , and other tools , cause they know it's hard to duplicate the sound that they had in the studio,. i have seen some cover bands who call them selves purist and use no tech , but the problem is, none of them can sing , not even background and they SUCK ASS on stage ,, i guess you have to suck in order to be good for other musicians ( word to the wise , do what you do, and screw what other musicians say , if they don't like it , so what , tell them to leave you alone , and go play it them selves.
HOLY, something, I dont know!, Your cover made me cry you beautiful people, thank you, it was so heart felt in its capture of the spirit that song carries!!!
Gregor Schober are you some kind of music producer or just a big mouth who thinks his opinion is the only one that matters? Cmon big boy what is it? That’s what I thought just a big mouth know nothing

The people bitching are the same people who complain that "real music doesnt exist anymore." Pick a lane. This was a solid cover.

The tempo was slightly slower than I expected, but the vocals are AMAZING - for me, the highlight of this awesome performance. Really fantastic job.

The best part of covering a song is playing it with your own style.
Totally, love the vocal personalities coming thru

Nice job young people! There's hope for us after all.
Wow. I didn't expect to hear such a great cover. Brilliant music and vocals. Again, wow.

busker1000.......they post the video, people are going to post comments rather they be good or bad. You have to have thick skin no matter what.
Where's your version and PLEASE let me know the bpm. Douche.
Put 1,25 faster👌
I agree, i mean it’s not perfect, but it’s kinda ear-friendly
People don’t know what a cover is. If you wanna hear it like Toto plays it then listen to the original version
Wonderful
I love the band, especially the voice of the girl is sensational, congratulations guys.
I love the way this band performs this song, especially Julie Lavery, she is fantastic and so talented..
Bravissimi! !!
Specialmente la ragazzina!!!
Quando canta ha uno Charme incredibile!!!
Carinissima!!!
Brilliant.

amazing!
Sounds like the third chord he's playing on the keyboard isn't quite right, something's off there.. but overall excellent job
you are exactly right, the problem was the 3rd chord was supposed to be B, D, and A, from C#, E, A of the 2nd chord. What this guy played was B, E, and A. It's tricky because the next chord is B, E and G#, so he probably just didn't bother and kept the same middle note on the chord.
My thoughts too..but great job!
It does seem it's out of tempo too
I've never heard the original, so the third chord sounds great to me
it’s not really wrong because it’s a cover and it’s not meant to be the exact same thing so they probably just chose to do it stylistically
fantastic job!! lost a tad with the slower tempo but this is sooooo good!!
Been looking for this for hours. This song needed that type of vocals. Its very amazing. Great cover
Good performance I like your interpretation of this song from Brazil
Very nice cover 👍
Awesome to see/hear that rock hasn’t died.

Wonderful guys
This cover is insane! you totally should upload it on Spotify!
Great cover. Thanks!
Found this in 2018 what have I been missing, pure entertainment best cover ever!
Bet the toto guys LOVE this!!! Very good😊
Amazing! And I love Mike Squillante.
I came here for the drummer, and he killed it. Locked in bro.
+Ryan Caron Thanks breh
Fan of that song. Sounded great to me. Had me right there with ya. Brought back good memories. Good job. I'll have another please. Keep at it.
Pretty awesome production value for a living room concert. Impressive all around.
Amazing cover !
Super clean, with personality, affinity... Precioso cover, me encantó!
Sublime in every way! Wonderful cover.
Fall in love with this girl 😍😍😍😍💘 amazing cover!!
Great job guys (and gal), and great vocals. I know how tough it is to pull off Toto. And Paul has that Hungate stage mood down pat.
Listen to it on 1.25x speed, its hella fire🔥💯
cool
Definitely better 🤘🏻
Yup, still one of the best covers on youtube. Keep on counting the years :)
Third piano chord is wrong has to be b7 minor
Listen to HSCC
@@thejazzbass76sounds good to me, they are giving it their own take.
Awesome song, awesome cover !
Awesome Cover.. Love it!!! You Guys and Girls ROCK!!!
Wonderful!
And her voice really impressed me.
I agree.
Sure... for a soulless ginger 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Wonderful ❤️
Well fucking done. That is not an easy song to pull off, and you guys did an amazing job.
Excellent cover.
Julie's vocals are outstanding great job
I Like it! Good Performance! well done!!!
glad to see this generation turning on to real musicians... I love it!!!
exacto¡¡
Cool... hope you are all still keeping the classic rock alive. One of my all time favs..great job, thanks....
Excelente cover. Si quisieramos oir a Toto, buscariamos la version original. Este cover combina la magia de conservar la personalidad de la cancion y aderezarla con el sello de The Running Mates. Saludos desde Mexico.
Very, very good!!! Congratulations...If it was here in Brazil, I was already contrated to a party.
Amazing.
Great job on a classic song
Can't believe there are so many hateful comments about this. It's a great cover! Solid performance all around.
Chris Gonzales I totally agree:)

Such is the world we live in, others would prefer live in misery and zap others' joy.
Chris Gonzales true ma'am
Maybe the comments would be more favorable if they were all scraggly and covered in tats....that stuff is far more important than practice and ability
ggod job!
greetings from cologne, germany
Arthur
They all have incredible vocals but Julie's voice gave me goosebumps.
Got to the end and had to comment again. Brilliant
wonderful, I can't hear it... Perfect, go ahead, you guys won!
Great job!
Wow great job
such a solid cover, its so good to hear modern bands cover the classics and so entertaining the only gripe I have is that the tempo is a little slow.
You all NAILED THIS!!!!!! So impressed! Thank you for sharing!
That girl can sing..
los felicito: uno debe haber vivido esa década para expresar una opinión apropiada.
y uds. si me transportaron a esos días.
Gracias.
Holy shit. This is amazing, guys. Jesus.
Great rendetion
it was great,people with the bad comments can you all do better??
Why should we be able to do it better to be able to criticize? You have to be a beker to say that bread is not well baked?
If you put yourself out there you have to be open to criticism!
The band sounds great, congratulations. continue to delight us with all the classics. In good time.
1:55 The guitar solo gave me goosebumps🤩
(I’m not a guitar player).
Fresh and clean, well executed. Great talent and unity. Keep doing this
3:33 sounded had traces of Olivia Newton John.
👍linda versión! Me gustó mucho! Beautiful! Saludos desde México 🇲🇽
Julie, your headphones are on backwards.
Great job
Simplesmente incrível! está é uma musica muito boa, me lembro da época do Playstation 2 no GTA San Andreas!
Wow, i love Toto since 1995 and you guys gave me goosebumbs. Great Cover!
BEAUTIFUL
Amazing
Nice cover!
Were some of you expecting to hear TOTO here?
Bass Player really, like Toto no one. Ja ja
REMEMBER HEARING IT FOR THNE 1 ST TIME By Toto in 1978 LOVE THE 70s
Love this song! Love your cover! You guys can sing! Great musicians!
Gta san andreas
Fantastic cover
Grokur kd-st radio san andreas thats because haha
KILLUA VIKINGS Music never gets old, just a little *cough cough* dusty.
One in a million that is the odds of getting vocals and instruments in harmony were you make magic!
That drummer is spot on! !! even though I would like it faster. ... but still a super job !!!
+Henke Nilssons Thanks!!
Just need the double bass going that's all I could say
Awesome you guys are fantastic 🇦🇺💖
Needs more cowbell.
I love lamp 🤣
I feel you bro
Moo
I have a fever and the only cure is more cowbell!
Snl?
HOLY, something, I dont know!, Your cover made me cry you beautiful people, thank you, it was so heart felt in its capture of the spirit that song carries!!!
Really enjoying those drums :)
+Zane Youmans Hey thanks!
Nicely done team - way to hold the line ... Those vocals were on point ...
Tight, clean, sharp!!!
The girl is awesome in that song and the guitar work is just awesome
Excellent work guys! I loved listening... thank you!
I've listened to this 5x - so good! What's the recording hardware? I've been looking for a good digital mixer.
sounded great and looked so cool 😎 leather jacket + singing with a band is so awesome. Rock Star energy!
these guys/gal sounded great to me..why all the hate?..put your video on
I heard this around the time it came out, but on the more fast-forwarded version. Still my all-time favorite cover!
MORE SPEED!!!
Yeah its a tad slow but a good cover
I can’t listen to things below tempo like this. My OCD won’t allow it.
Set playback speed to 1.25x
And more passion, seems like robots
you sound white....
The voice blending is fantastic. Great guys!
Damn that red head is shmexy
One of the best cover! Everything is perfect.
very good interpretation of this song, forget the stupid comments below, that´s your style :-)
Gregor Schober are you some kind of music producer or just a big mouth who thinks his opinion is the only one that matters? Cmon big boy what is it? That’s what I thought just a big mouth know nothing
Trump Rocks You are a very salty person
There's only one Toto but there's absolutely nothing wrong with this cover. I'm just glad that there are young people that appreciate good music.
