- Toto - Live at Montreux 1991
Live at the Montreux Casino, Switzerland July 5th 1991.
By the time Toto was invited to play the famed Montreux Jazz Festival in 1991, their success had already been assured. Having established themselves in the ‘70s as an elite band of session players-turned-chart toppers, they were in the midst of a European tour when the call came. It was an appropriate fit. Not only were they able to spotlight their two most prominent hits of the time -- “Africa” and “Rosanna” -- but they were also allowed to express a more progressive posture that would come with their next album, 1992’s Kingdom of Desire. In short, the band were in peak prowess.
Sadly, this marked one of their final appearances with drummer Jeff Porcaro, who passed away the following year. But as Live at Montreux 1991 demonstrates, the core band - Pocaro, his brother Mike on bass and mainstays, singer/guitarist Steve Lukather and keyboard player keyboardist/vocalist David Paich were in prime form.

Lyrics:
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in twelve-thirty flight
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
"Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you"
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
"Hurry, boy, she's waiting there for you"
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
Who listen in 2024??
Io
I!
Eu sempre
Here !!!

R.i.P 🕊️ Jeff Porcaro & Mike Porcaro ✝️⭐
R.I.P
A huge sad loss 😢
That's Jeff on the drums here, isn't it?
@@thedude4672 sure
Mike in my heart. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 ( PARIS LE 22 Avril 2024)
David Paich never gets enough credit for writing this song and being the primary vocalist on it.
He does a great job but the missing piece can't be ignored.
Steve Lukather looks like about 7 different people across his career
and the poor guy never had a good hair day in his life
🤣🤣🤣👍🏻
HA, I wonder who hes gonna be in 2020
Every 7 years a dedicated guitarist who works very hard becomes so accomplished in the instrument that they achieve the highest rank of Steve Lukather and take the old one's place.
Lol
So sad that the camera crew virtually ignored Jeff Porcaro, one of the greatest rock drummers of all time.
No surprise. They usually focus most attention on singers' faces :(
They had no backline camera. Kind of an obvious oversight.
Yes !! I'm very sad for that details ....im a drummer too , it's very sad Jeff the most important drummer in THE world ....and the cámara ignore him ....
They didn’t know then what we do know, Jeff is one of the greatest drummers and a musical genius of all time
Seems like they did film him some but must be something wrong with the editors...
Jeff Porcaro was simply one of the finest, most musical drummers I've ever heard -- just absolutely solid rhythm and great dynamics. I was heartbroken when he died. He added so much to the music of other great musicians.
True. Best drummer
May he rest in peace
Super Musik & Groove
i agree
True..beats from the greats made it his own with more colors in it
Mike Porcaro was one of the most underrated bassists ever! We miss you, man! 😪
to tell the truth...Toto is an underrated band
@@ibanezsoir Amen! Why they're not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a mystery to me. I don't know of another band that is more deserving of that honor, but the powers that be in the HOF are known for playing politics with who gets in and who doesn't. I just hope it happens while the remaining original Toto members are alive to attend the ceremony.
Comment ça sous estimé ? Par la profession ou des membres du groupe ? En tout cas du groupe, c etzitcelui qui était très discret et humble. Il est mort de maladie en 2015. Si vous pouvez m en dire plus dur lui. Merci infiniment. ( PARIS LE 22 Avril 2024)
Those who say they do not like TOTO basically just because they NEVER saw them live. Even Eddie VanHalen said "Toto is the greatest band ever" & said "these guys are the best musicians on the planet"... now thats an honor....
because they are
@@deadshot4245 "because they are" what ?
@@Terk131 the greatest
Amen
When George Harrison flies in for your memorial service, you were pretty well special.
Rest In Peace Jeff Porcaro, one of the best drummers in the history of music
You will be missed!!
And Mikey too xx
Thank you!
Simon Philips had some huge shoes to fill and fill them he did.
@@BassmanII could you imagine the nerves when he first started but he did good
@@BassmanII That he did, he was the best drummer for Toto after the legend, Jeff. The two biggest losses Toto ever had, in my opinion.
We’ll never see the like of Jeff Porcaro again. Absolute legend!
... sad but true!
Ni Mike disparu en 2015 hélas. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Shoutout to the backup singer taking us to church with those high notes in the final chorus
The Porcaro brothers. What else can you say? 2 absolutely legendary musicians and greatly missed
Mikey put a lot into it. He's sweating.
yeah very missed😔😔😔😪🥺😢😭
@Guns N’ Roses yeah. In fact I saw Toto on tour recently with Steve. An Equally talented musician.
Thats when there at there best simply amazing
Merci de leur rendre hommage. Destins tragiques pour ces 2 frères et on l oublie. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Listen to the Rosanna "Isolated Drums" track, mind blowing. Porcaro was a human drum machine. Simply the best.
Got to see that right now
Wait. That really doesn't make sense. Was he a human or a machine?
I recently started drumming again after a very long layoff. That Purdie Shuffle with the Bo Diddley kick drum beat is kicking my ass.
@@mc76 I watch this video about once a year... (and it's always amazing to see how simple he makes it look) ua-cam.com/video/NMI81yIlT0Q/v-deo.html
@@mc76 agree totally. I can drum it out with my hands on the countertop, but I just can't get it right on the snare/hats. Frustrating as all hell. It blows my mind how perfect it is in the isolated track.
Jeff Porcaro's performance is godlike.
And will die exactly one year after. Huge lost.
His timing. His feel. His ability to blend into the song. Pure magic.
Indeed. He is a drum god. I rather hesitate to use the word god usually.
Wow the quality looks so modern. It doesn't looks like a 90s vid!
João Veludo he’s talking about just the video quality, not how the shots are set up. The shots are very late 80s/90s
Sony's HDVS
ua-cam.com/video/51jnjRaXS6g/v-deo.html
G. J. Barrera HD vhs was expensive as fuck and never really became a consumer product. Most video quality back then was poor.
@@TiTiTiTiT ok don't cry now
Jeff's smiles while he plays and sweat running off Mike's face as he plays just breaks my heart. A stage full of true musicians, thanks to whoever recorded this for posterity.
Mike Porcaro, y pray for you guy 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Wow, Jeff Porcaro, one in a million. Powerful and clear, the perfect drummer. 20/20. Thanx for your beats, Jeff.
He is perfect
nfl films
Jeff and Mike are both to musicians WHO Always seem to short when people discuss the goats of drum and Bass
Goosebumps! First time to see Jeff on africa playing live.
No, Jeff is unique. 1 in a million is like saying Jeff Porcaro is one of around 8000 people.
Jeff Porcaro = Often imitated, never duplicated.
can we appreciate for a second the back vocals of that lady when she sings in. high note Africa? gave me the chills
That 1991 camera looks better than my 2023 phone
I still say, very stongly, that anyone who wants to play the drums, not as a soloist, but as an integral part of a band, listen to Jeff Porcaro. He set a gold standard. I've been playing for 35 years and still hope someday to come close to the standard he set.
Yup, no need to be a drum solo master, just be solid, tasteful, and in the pocket.
The conga player isn’t bad either!
@@chezchezchezchez Chris Trujillo.
Just impeccable!! Everything he put his sticks to rocked. All my life I listened to music he played, and didn’t know who he was. Total icon.
Amen. Agreed totally.
those killer triplets fills at the 3:47 mark... OMG!!! always touches my heart!
And his drums sounded incredible to boot.
Powerfully tasty
and then Paich singing a way different harmony!!
They have some very nice snap to them. Puts his body in to it.
@@MiguelMartinez-hz7yq that harmony was in the original studio record too but it was only noticeable in the 5.1 release of the Africa Single. Paich sang it many times live.
Jeff Porcaro was quite simply one of the very finest technical drummers to ever play. He is sorely missed.
PLUS HANDSOME AND HANDSOME.
Indeed. My favorite stat about him is he was the drummer for the welcome back kotter theme of the 70's
Toto - a band of top notch sessionists having fun.
Rip Jeff n Mike
Somewhere in Heaven there’s a halftime shuffle being played. Rest In Peace Jeff, we all love you.
Et son frère Mike . Ne l oubliez pas svp.
Yes, Jeff and Mike,…love them both! Rest assured,…they’re jamming.
So lucky to have seen Jeff Porcaro very early in his career. My wife and I marveled at this 17 year-old kid drumming for Sonny & Cher at a March 19, 1972 concert in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Then two years later we recognized him tandem drumming alongside Jim Hodder at our first Steely Dan concert on April 21, 1974 at the U. of Toledo. He would contribute mightily to their 1975 album "Katy Lied" and later to Boz Scaggs' "Silk Degrees." Such a prodigy that he was drumming on TV's "Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour" while he was still in high school.
andyinoregon you are sooooooo blessed to have had this experience. Jeff is my fav
@@jimmorrison5604 I still remember Porcaro and Hodder drumming the rest of the band off the stage during Steely Dan's final encore that Sunday night in Toledo. He had just turned 20 less than three weeks before the concert.
Thanks for sharing! Love to hear that 👍👍
Jeffrey PORCARO, drums at its absolute peak (1954-1992) 🤘👊😌
This image quality for a 31 year old video is INSANE , love to Jeff,Mike,Steve,David, the singers, love TOTO forever!
I was thinking it had to be more recent but sometimes things stand beyond their years.
@@mikkelbreiler8916 It's an early HDTV test.
I literally had to look at clothing and hairstyles because I didn’t believe the year was correct.
@@mikkelbreiler8916 Jeff Porcaro died in 92 so it really couldn't be more recent.
Exactly man i thought it was shot 3-4 years back. Excellent video, piece of History.
Jeff Porcaro will always be my favorite drummer. Rest in Peace Jeff in the loving name of Jesus Christ.
Jeff’s fill at 3:45 is amazing!!!!
I disagree
If justice league were musicians they'd be Toto.
Hey young people, this is what we called Music and super live performance 😎
The fill Jeff plays into the chorus at 3:46 fucking slaps. I swear I dreamt about it last night, he’s so good. I wish we could have seen what Toto would have done if he were still here. He played such an important role in this group.
If you look up some vids of Simon Phillips playing with Toto on this song, he had some pretty inventive fills that were tributes to Jeff
Total Bonham lick too. Jeff loved him.
Spicy....with authority. Yes. Just yes. 👌🤣✌️
Wow this performance. So strange too because the quality of this video is impecable it's like it was filmed yesterday. So weird seeing the Porcaro brothers so young and lively and knowing they're not here with us anymore. Breaks my heart. Always loved this song
David’s harmonising at 3:49 unbelievable 👏🏻👏🏻
This footage is amazing for being 30 years old. I really can't overstate that. Im 38 now, and I was a week away from turning 10 and just finished 4th grade, playing with Ninja Turtles, super nintendo and going to Mac Brown flag football camp in UNC when this was filmed lol.... Nirvana Nevermind hadnt even been released in the US yet.... CDs were just becoming more popular than cassette tapes... The clarity is just stupid good
Same here Joel!! :) I always compare this type of old footage with where I was as a kid at the time!
Joel Highsmith Good music is timeless.
I one hundred percent agree and am astounded myself!
Wtf this has best quality than most records in 2020 and it was recorded almost 30 years ago!!
And it's better than the latest iphone's low light video recording quality 😬
Indeed good sir. Alot of people don't care for the art anymore.
and the aesthetic of a tacky 80s vibe. and a schmaltz fest. love the drummer but damn this cringes.
Yeah, special advanced Sony hardware, and it kicks ass. The video quality is jaw-dropping.
Witness history right here. Sony tested out their experimental HDTV equipment at the Montreux Festival (among other occasions and they called it HDVS which is technically different from today's standard). And this was the beginning of what you are used to seeing today on your iPhone.
One of the most iconic drummers of our time... Love those Paiste cymbals!
Paiste 2002 series... Killer Classic Cymbals!
@@crusandiopires5012 That's all I'll ever use!
@@crusandiopires5012 Yes, crisp, bright and glassy... Wonderful sound!!
OMG me too. Was just thinking same thing. Looking to switch from A customs to signature series paiste. So much $ thiugh
@@glennkamp4645 Yes, I played A Customs for many, many years and about five years ago I sold all of them on eBay and switched to Paiste with the money I collected. I have a variety of different Paiste cymbals now (2002, Signature, Twenty, Formula 602, Alpha, and Giant Beat). I absolutely love them, and can't ever see myself playing anything else, really. If you can put together the money, it's so worth every penny. The sounds they produce still astound me even now. =^_^=
We miss you Jeff Porcaro and Mike Porcaro. R.I.P.✝️✝️✝️✝️
Merci pour eux. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Les frères peuvent jouer que part au paradis. ( PARIS LE 22 Avril 2024)
Jeff Porcaro was an awesome drummer.. He always smiled, because he loved what he did! He is in the Top 100 Drummers for a reason. No they can Play together in heaven...
This is the only band I want to hear playing this song. Any other band who tries fails from the 1st note.
RIP Jeff Pocaro....He defined it.
2:59 the bass player looks so happy
Oui c'est Mike Porcaro décédé en 2015 tragiquement 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢(PARIS LE 22 Avril 2024)
Too many Porcaros in this video no longer here :-( R.I.P. Jeff and Mike
Absolutely... Such a loss of immense Talent!!
Is it just me or is the audio quality off the charts for this live performance? What a stunning song, can never get enough off it!
It sure is: this is pretty much a tech demo for Sony having been recorded in HD video (1125 line HDVS) and HD audio (16 bit 96Khz PCM)
Met a beautiful Nigerian girl in 2000. Married her and now 22 years later she's still as beautiful as the first time I saw her and we have 4 beautiful light chocolate coloured children.
This song is so beautiful they named a continent after it.
minute 3:47,,most iconic drum fill in in the world,,one and only Jeff Porcaro
Montreaux 1991
Maestro Jeff at his peak
The backup singers were amazing
Im here for Jeff !!! 🙈
Mike's bass always warms my heart
Merci de le nommer. Décédé en 2015 tragiquement. Éternellement dans mon cœur Mike. (PARIS LE 22 Avril 2024)

Probably the greatest pop song of all time. RIP to masters on drums and bass.
Great to see most of the comments, mentioning Jeff Porcaro.
Best drummer of his day.
03:48 Harmonização impressionante de David Paich!
One of the best drummers in the world ever!!
I came here Specifically to watch Jeff Porcaro hardly got a glimpse of him
The quality of this for 1991. Holy shit. Who came here to watch JP. Wow. Monster drummer.
How is it that nobody is talking about Jenny Douglas? Worldclass backing vocals!
Kids, that's what music is all about = FEELING, GROOVE, TALENT. Jeff, Mike, Dave, Steve... These talented guys will remain untouchable forever.
I see Jeff Porcaro on thumbnail, automatically smash play button 🙂🥁
What a banger of a live performance
Jeff Pocaro and Neil Peart were thee drummers of the 80’s.
You forgot Steve Gadd
Jeff and Mike Porcaro are truly missed Rest in peace
Merci pour eux. 😢😮😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
His keyboard solo was amazing. Love seeing a band in their absolute prime
The last 2 minutes where Fantastic
Jeff and Mike Porcaro are Legends
Thank you so much for everything
Xxx
I know most people probably only know this one song of theirs, but I sincerely promise you their entire discography is brilliant. Seriously. Toto are epic songwriters and musicians.
You're wrong. Most people know all their music.
@@DJPacha.Bolivia Bolivia sucks.
@@JM-fc9gm Sure my friend.
Jeff Porcaro and Chris Trujillo. A perfect combo.
Talented rhythm section!
Pure talent, and a pound of coke too 😎😎😎
Unfortunately Jeff Porcaro thought him and cocaine were a better combo
EVERLYSHADY STUDIOS wow. Classy. 🤓
@@agustinmarioquiroga3776 it's real doesn't have to be classy smartass it's a fact
The most underrated bassist on earth: Mike Porcaro. And so sad that Jeff would be gone in 1992 after this performance just 1 year.
What was the cause of Jeff’s death?
Diogo Blanco cardiac arrest:-( potentially due to an allergic reaction to pesticides:-(
Apparently he was spraying weeds in his garden and collapsed:-( so sad:
www.nytimes.com/1992/08/07/arts/jeffrey-porcaro-toto-s-drummer-and-a-studio-musician-38-dies.html
How is her underrated? What is special about him that people don’t know?
Diogo Blanco People really don’t know some people think it was a heart attack or cardiac arrest, other people think he died of an allergic reaction to a pesticide. Steve Lukather said he died of a heart attack, but we really don’t know.
How effortlessly everyone in this band just sings! Mindblowing. And of course, having Jeff laying down the foundation is the best we ever could see. ❤
I can't add anything that hasn't been said, but I've been drumming for over 50 years, and Jeff Porcaro has been one of the very best for most of them. RIP, brother.
Paich is an amazing keyboardist. He can create beautyful melodies as well as lay in some jazzy feeling into it and in combination to the Porcaro brothers funky style it sounds amazing!
One of rare shows filmed in HD in early 90s.
Mike is really enjoying himself. Met him at Sheraton Gothenburg. What a kind man!
Oh pouvez me parler de Mike. Paraît il qu il était extrêmement humble, discret et gentil. Cela se voit sur son beau visage. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢( PARIS LE 22 Avril 2024)

@@marymorris8442 the most known detective in the world. how can you not know that??
@@jiboo6850 I know, I was being an ass, like you were to the other person who said he was the best drummer. Got ya........now do not go and get mad at me. Ji Boo.....love you Ji Boo.....
R.I.P Jeff Porcaro, such talented drummer with an ear for details.
3:44 that is one the most crisp drumroll i’ve ever heard in a live performance.
Unreal! Jeff’s drumming is incredible and Dave’s vocals are spot on. What’s so impressive is that Steve and the back up vocalists blend together on the chorus. Perfection!!
Loved this man with all my heart. NOBODY played/plays like Jeff. Simon, Keith and Shannon have done wonderful jobs. It’s just that there is only one Jeff.
This isn't a performance. Its a religious experience.
Steve and Jeff and Porcaro's. Cannot say more. Just awesome. We can only guess what music would be like if Jeff was still with us.
True, I can't imagine it.
There's so much possibility and potential.
Watching Jeff play brings tears to my eyes.
That FBass! uuufff in hands on my biggest influence ever. RIP Mike!
This is the best Goddammit version ever!
Miss you Jeff! You got me into playing percussion. I couldn't have asked for more from a neighbor that lived right across the street from me in North Hollywood as a child. You were a complete inspiration and more than a great guy. I remember gathering your mail as a kid while you were out of town and when you offered up one of your drum kits for me to do a talent show at Colfax Elementary school.
God bless ya.
Greg Jolly
Here's to Hesby street!
amazing story, Greg Jolly!
3:29 omg! That groove! That's my boy!! Rip.
Miss ya Jeff , pure drumming to the core. He is still so important to drumming community and music as a whole, the man left and indelible mark on my life as a drummer and human being and so many more drummers.. Still can't believe he is gone. Its hard to get over loosing a mentor like him.. he meant the world to me as a drummer. If you are a drummer and you haven't gotten a chance to introduce him to your life, you need to.
It's like listening to the studio version. It's a perfect performance, done by masters of their craft..
When the camera shoots everyone, I always look at Jeff Porcaro. The last performance of him. RIP Jeff🕊️
Greatest human ever is Jeff Porcaro. God I miss you, Brother.
Even though Jeff is gone his music lives for eternity. RIP to the 🐐
J'ai eu la chance de rencontré Jeff porcaro , est avoir parlé avec lui avant un concert , en France dans le sud . août 1988 Toto i love you for ever💋👍
Avez vous rencontré son frère Mike pour qui j'ai une très grande tendresse ?? Magnifique groupe. Quel souvenir... ...😢😢😢😮😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😮😢😢😢😢

Truely is a perfect performance. Jeff’s drumming literally is second to none.
This musical performance is STUNNING! I would also love to point out that the quality at which this footage was taken LOOKS GREAT, 31 years later.
Mike's passion playing that bass is so wonderful !
There is no way to fail witth drummer that level
3:45 that drumfill by Jeff..ah man, what can i say.
A great and legendary performance! After his death in 1992, a memorial concert took place at the Universal Amphitheater in Los Angeles on December 14th 1992, with an all-star line up that included Boz Scaggs, Donald Fagen, Don Henley, Michael McDonald, Edward Van Halen and, of course, TOTO.
Yep, and if there was room, that list would have been MUCH longer. Jeff Porcaro had no equal and still doesn't. There was nothing he couldn't do perfectly. He was the hired gun that was brought in when other drummers couldn't do it. Not to diss other drummers, but that's how it is.
También George Harrison y David Crosby
