That wah, and Lukather's vibrato takes this solo to the next level. His sense of melody, phrasing, timing and dynamics stand alone. Young shredders just don't understand this stuff. This is musicality.....
He simply knows the magic of tension and release. He knows when to let the thing cry, when to make it shut up. Lastly, he is using the instrument to both back up the song and then pouring his take on life over it. It is not about what he plays. It is about what he transcends. He is magical.
In 2013 i visited a concert in Berlin. I Was fresh dirvorced. It was a hard time. I nearly lost my son. I waited at the entrance with a friend at Huxleys New World in Berlin and talked to him. I just sayed for fun to him "The guys from Toto could play wings of time." So we went in. The concert starts. Very great. After a few songst Luke said, he would dedicate this Song to Mike and Jeff. And He would dedicate it to those people at the concert, who are in a not so good way of life. Who are sick, in a divorce or anything else what makes life not so good. And he will dedicate this Song to those people who are also on this concert. And He wishes, that the problems would take away on the wings of time... Then they played the song ...Tears are running down my face... One of the greatest moments in my live...
Hello Matthias, A very touching experience you had. Beautiful to read and so approriate to the song... I can imagine that moment, wonderful... I wish you all the best of luck! André
It was really touching experience..I understand you...I had the same feeling when some years ago Paul McCartney dedicaded an incredible version of "Something" to the memory of George Harrison during his concert..I was in tears because I remembered someone I had lost...what memories.. About Toto, great band..and this is a great song.
True, but dont forget the man who made toto a succesfull with such good drumming and because of this man, toto couldnt existid . A man who aways light up a room and has so much confidence in his style of drumming. A legend called jeff porcaro. Thats why im more fan of of that legend that made toto real. I think simon is more a rock drummer and that jeff an all-style-drummer
When music is so important in your life this is like filling a room with angels.The whole band knows they are in the pocket and they are riding on it like champs. Lukather playing here is stellar. Simply magical. When you see the glimpses of his band members and their facial expressions you can tell that they are in awe of Lukather and are simply enjoying his great playing and singing.
The outrosolo is insane!! Luke is on fire. His feel and sense of phrasing, timing makes him the next level musician. Great groove from Nathan East and Simon Philips. Best band of all times
Ditto my friend - they are simply in a class of their own - decades of phenomenal musical talent we are all so lucky to enjoy - have all their live DVD performances and live them often on Dolby surround sound - forking brilliant
Rockband... I don't know. This band is so hard putting in one particular booth... Its a loot of rockbands that is out of this world, but not one of them can match Toto in deversity and musicality (Pink Floyd did much of the same, in their time). There is so much talk about "worlds greatest", but in my world a unike musician like Luke cant be compared to anyone. The guitar-gunners out there play some fantastic sololiners, but Luke is so so much more than a solo- performer, the man is in my opinion the most complete guitarplayer the world have ever seen. The way he comps just forms every other part of the band. The strange thing is that the other instruments in the band does the exact same thing to his play. Of course Luke is just one of the Toto members. I could go on and on and on about the other members....
Aside from the fact Toto has always been a band of great artists. I would bet, Steve Vai, Satriani, E. Johnson, etc, etc, can listen to Steve's solo on this, and simply say, "yeah man, absolutely".
Una delle scelte migliori fatte da Jeff è stata proprio quella del chitarrista dei Toto nel lontano 1976: a mio parere il miglior chitarrista del genere rock eclettico in assoluto.
I really think he should be in the Top 10 but the last chart I saw he was like 52! that's just crazy because he is incredible! I saw an interview one time where he said he was glad the band thing worked out because he didn't know how to do any thing. LOL O yeah just one of the best in guitar and vocals any where! I am kind of a big Luke fan.
ToTo You guys are Essential ..Love everything they have done each decade.. Steve Lukather is simply Amazing.. But the whole band during the Porcaro Jeff included of course were outstanding! Simon Phillips did an amazing job too in their long, successful career!! ToTo's grreatness Lives Forever
This is so so so good, man...the soul which Steve puts in to it and that constant rythm from Simon, so so perfect, and in the end the look on the face from Steve to Simon, says it all...impecable . Simon is such a soulfull drummer, the tranquility in his drumming is one of a kind.
This is the first time I've ever heard this song and... Wow. What a jam. Never knew the lead singer and guitar player of Toto was that good. Excellent song
@@jackbeam56 Luke is singing lead on this song. Toto is a band with multiple lead singers that’s what they wanted. Joe just happens to be the front man.
I lost my dad 5 months ago. I miss him so much and this song helps me grieve in peace. When you love someone so much, not even death can take that away from you.
Miss you my friend. Your dad would live in your heart forever just like mine. It's a little things you will you will remember. All the kindness that he gave you.
Let us all take a moment and pay our love and respect to the memory of the man, the myth and the legend we knew as Jeff Porcaro. 29 years ago, August 5th, 1992 Jeff left us all and at such a young age. Rest in peace Jeff. Your groove will live on forever
Oh mein Gott, ich habe das jetzt fünf mal gesehen. Und ich musste wirklich heulen, kein Song hat mich so umgehauen wie der. Aber das habe ich schon mal geschrieben....
Although relatively simple, the patient and perfect subtlety of Nathan East's bass playing is awe-inspiring. Of course, Lukather is something else. So much enjoyment from listening to this piece. Thank you.
And you KNOW it's just right there! Like... that tear starts to well, but he's like "Can't! Must. Hold. Back!" Heh heh. He JUST Tweeted how he misses Jeff! So, we got you, Luke. We know!
What makes Luke cool is he has all the old blues influences,the cool jazz influences backed with his own style and can shred on top of that.Not to mention great feel and tone.He's not a guy who shreds and then plays something slower to portray he has feeling.he actually feels everything he plays.Fast or slow. Plus he comes across as a regular guy.
What a song I have got all Toto Albums. If you compare the track on the LP and this live version, the latter is sheer perfection. Thank you Toto for having lavished on us the best music in the entire planet! Simply magic track! Thank you Steve for your amazing guitar solos!!!!
Such greatness. Simon and Nathan are so wonderful. Steve Lukather stands tall among the giants.. both as a recording genius and a live performer. One of the reasons is is risk-taking.. which is demonstrated well here.
Since I posted this video, the Blu-ray of this concert is becoming VERY hard to find, and the standard DVD is edging that way as well. Good news is that the concert is currently available for free on Amazon Prime.
Une brochette de musiciens hors pair,je les ai vu pas mal de fois et je ne m'en lasse pas.De saint-George à aujourd'hui,et ce morceau me donne des frissons .
Truly amazing unbelievable group of musicians. Never seen and never will see or hear a bad toto line up. As long as Lukes alive this band will hopefully remain. Seen a few negative comments on the new project but gotta say as good as anything but this song is so so special. Like is amazing as are every member that has ever graced a toto stage.
I love this song so much, I have started watching this video every Sunday night at the end of my work shift to help me relax and keep it playing in my mind all week. Steve is just incredible--- love his voice!
Me too. When Steve sings "Georgy Porgy" from year 1990 concert with the bongos playing in background, his voice and guitar work was perfect! I really like his interpretation of music and the creativity he uses with the guitar. One of the best bands I have ever heard. Have revisited Toto in the last few months and a new appreciation for the quality and artistry of their music has brought love and much respect. 🎶🎹🎸🥁💟💓💓👏👏

@@tubewolfoPerfectly said Wolfgang 👌
Amen
Agreed.
Sooo True. So many these days just want to play fast screechy rifts and think that it’s music. They need to take a page from Lukather’s play book.
Not very popular Toto song, but for me one of 10 best songs I have ever heard. Fantastic!
In 2013 i visited a concert in Berlin. I Was fresh dirvorced. It was a hard time. I nearly lost my son. I waited at the entrance with a friend at Huxleys New World in Berlin and talked to him.

Hello Matthias,
A very touching experience you had. Beautiful to read and so approriate to the song... I can imagine that moment, wonderful... I wish you all the best of luck! André
Hey Matthias,
for me it was the best Toto concert that i ever seen.
And first time i met David, he walks on the Hermannplatz, hihi
Ingo
It was really touching experience..I understand you...I had the same feeling when some years ago Paul McCartney dedicaded an incredible version of "Something" to the memory of George Harrison during his concert..I was in tears because I remembered someone I had lost...what memories..

Lost a son in 2009 (my only).Then lost my dad,brother,and mom in 10 years time.This song touches me.
Heartbreaking ❤ giant Lukather. Love Toto so much. Rip Jeff & Mike ❤
one of the best modern core Toto lineups:
Steve Lukather
David Paich
Joseph Williams
Simon Phillips
Steve Procaro
criminally underrated
✊️✊️✊️✊️✊️
Do not forget to mention Nathan East on Bass. Not a core Toto player but the Best class A session bass player in the universe.
❤Forever ❤Pour toujours ❤
Simon truly is a worthy successor to Jeff. Such an amazing drummer. Love this tune.
Yes ...
He truly is ...
Totally agree.
Agreed
His meter is impeccable. Helps this song really flow.
Es un baterista de lujo, con un sonido limpio y sólido🥁
Toto sound so good , brilliant , big Simon Phillips fan , they sound unbelievable!!!

i love TOTO! Mongolia
... and that folks is why TOTO is still one of the best bands in the world. Period!
too right!! my sentiments exactly! :)
Decades of appreciation of this incredible band - totally agree mate
Ditto my friend - they are simply in a class of their own - decades of phenomenal musical talent we are all so lucky to enjoy - have all their live DVD performances and live them often on Dolby surround sound - forking brilliant
For sure, absolutely!
Yep it is
I want to leave some profound words of gratitude for what my ears just listened to, but I’m speechless and have no words.
I totally agree with you. It's a helluva concert.
This song takes my breath away, it's an eye watering song! I looooove them sooooo much! ❤
The best band and the best guitarist on this planet. I know, Jeff and Mike up there are proud of this song.
The greatest rockband ever. Clever, clean and outrageously well excecuted. The symphonic Orchestral sound, they pretty much imvented, and refined.
Rockband... I don't know. This band is so hard putting in one particular booth...

Genius guitarist and hugely underrated vocalist.
Its so nice to hear to hat Lisa Dalbello convinced him to sing. He is great, my inspiration to sing and play, 😊👍
His voice is absolutely emotional and beautiful!
Steve is one of the greatest guitarist/vocalist/composer of the world.
The MASTER at work, here !
Una delle scelte migliori fatte da Jeff è stata proprio quella del chitarrista dei Toto nel lontano 1976: a mio parere il miglior chitarrista del genere rock eclettico in assoluto.
My god man, Lukather is just out of this world. Godlike playing
One of the best in the world
I really like the way Toto was able to keep their music style throughout the years without surrendering to the "trends"
Man they sound as good as they did 40 years ago. And Steve is one of the most underrated guitar players.
I really think he should be in the Top 10 but the last chart I saw he was like 52! that's just crazy because he is incredible! I saw an interview one time where he said he was glad the band thing worked out because he didn't know how to do any thing. LOL O yeah just one of the best in guitar and vocals any where! I am kind of a big Luke fan.
Oh he's not underrated at all!!! He's one of the best players ever!
@@erinradke5672 fing awesome!
You need to realize the bullcrap critics all work for loser jan wenner & they think the ramones are the best band, what a joke!!!
i don't think he is underrated. I guess most of the people know that Lukather is one of the greatest
One of the greatest guitar solos I ever heard (and I heard a lot ... ;-) )
Having lost my Mom and brother in a space of less than one year,this song holds a special place for me.
Bless you Jeff. I have lost everyone in my family but one brother and I know what you feel.
Magic every time TOTO.. hits the stage.. this rendition is superb..Percaro boys are smiling from above..!!..♥️
Love this song Simon Philips rules here
One of the greatest bands ever!!!
Best guitar solo I've ever heard... not from this world!
What a band, just love them. And Simon, what a drummer!! 😍😍🙌🙌
TOTO, tout en haut!!!😍
en effet tout en haut . Aya Nacamoura peut être détrônera le génie de ce groupe ... ( mais pas sûr ) //
What a song! What a band!
best band in the world...love you since 1980...a real fan
Simon, best man on drums❤
That solo takes my breath away, it´s not only chops, it´s expressiveness at full throttle. Luke is one of the very best.
Keep coming back to this one...🙏👌
me too :) Such an awesome, emotive solo from Luke and what amazing controlled drumming from Simon
7:05 - The most epic badass solo I've ever heard till date.
Amazing band. One of the best bands ever
that's the perfect music, a dream for each musician
トトは、大好きなバンドです。彼女と行った大阪公演は、一生忘れません。
Perfection. I can’t get enough of this video. Luke = best guitarist ever!!!! So much emotion in this performance. RIP. Mike and Jeff. Love. ❤️❤️❤️
Love it
ToTo You guys are Essential ..Love everything they have done each decade.. Steve Lukather is simply Amazing.. But the whole band during the Porcaro Jeff included of course were outstanding! Simon Phillips did an amazing job too in their long, successful career!! ToTo's grreatness Lives Forever

Luke un Genio con esa guitarra🎸🤩💜
Toto..Lo Maximo!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎶🤗🇦🇷🇦🇷
What a wonderful musician Steve Lukather is.....I am in awe of those who play with such passion ..... wow!!!!!
This is so so so good, man...the soul which Steve puts in to it and that constant rythm from Simon, so so perfect, and in the end the look on the face from Steve to Simon, says it all...impecable .
Simon is such a soulfull drummer, the tranquility in his drumming is one of a kind.
This is the first time I've ever heard this song and... Wow. What a jam. Never knew the lead singer and guitar player of Toto was that good. Excellent song
Ehhm the lead singer is Joseph Williams, Steve Lukather sings also but not lead.
TOTO WALL OF SOUND!
@@jackbeam56 Luke is singing lead on this song.
Toto is a band with multiple lead singers that’s what they wanted.
Joe just happens to be the front man.
@@jackbeam56 luke is the lead vocalist on probably half of toto songs. including this one.
@@jackbeam56Joseph Williams has many talents but ventriloquism is not one of them.
I really love how David Paich and the other members enjoy the Steve's guitar solo
I have enjoyed this song hundreds of times and it still excites me like the first time, without any doubt it is one of my favorites of Toto.
One of the best guitarists of all the world. Thanks
the drums are THE best in the world
Yes and Yes to the best greatest and best drummer!!
Very Best guitar
This shows he's concerned about his friends. He is such a good guitarist. I would love to see Toto in concert. That would make my day.
This guy is simply amazing you don't get much better than Luke he's a master at his game
I never get tired of this amazing band!...pure class!
I lost my dad 5 months ago. I miss him so much and this song helps me grieve in peace. When you love someone so much, not even death can take that away from you.
Miss you my friend. Your dad would live in your heart forever just like mine. It's a little things you will you will remember. All the kindness that he gave you.

Toto For Ever🎶🎵❤️
I am speechless, I own almost every CD oft TOTO, but this performance gets me crying..
Greetings from Bavaria, Germany, where your Fans live..
endlich ein deutscher😂
Beautiful X
We lived near Munich for 11 years,,, miss it like hell❤️❤️❤️❤️
Auch in Österreich gibts ganz viel Fans, ich bin einer davon, Weltklasse Band,
This is one of those moments I would want a "LOVE" button on youtube
BRILLIANT idea!!...especially for Toto!!
And/or orgasm button

One of my all time favourites! I come back to this from time to time - never lets me down. Always exciting. Love it!!!!
Oh mein Gott,
ich habe das jetzt fünf mal gesehen.
Und ich musste wirklich heulen, kein Song hat mich so umgehauen wie der.
Aber das habe ich schon mal geschrieben....
One of my favorites! Love Toto! Best Band in the world!!!!
Although relatively simple, the patient and perfect subtlety of Nathan East's bass playing is awe-inspiring. Of course, Lukather is something else. So much enjoyment from listening to this piece. Thank you.
Absolutely, it's not a band without the right guy on the bass.
Such a band of brothers.
I really don't know how Luke keeps his emotions under control to sing this the way he does. True professional.
And you KNOW it's just right there! Like... that tear starts to well, but he's like "Can't! Must. Hold. Back!" Heh heh.
He JUST Tweeted how he misses Jeff! So, we got you, Luke. We know!
Yeah, i wonder the same thing too...
He may not of cried tears but boy his emotions sure did come out in his guitar playing right here.
@@robertscharlow
He really took it hard when Jeff passed. Jeff really brought out Luke's best.
We should be more than grateful to witness such awesome TALENT because it doesn't get any better than TOTO!!!!!!!
Just BREATHTAKING levels of energy in this one guys....
Me encanta TOTO, me encanta Steve Luckather, si voz y como hace hablar esa guitarra. Es sin dudas un gran gusto para mis oídos. Lo amo!!
* T❤️T❤️ Forever * * EAST BASSLiNE to HEAVEN *
This is the best Gig from TOTO ever !! Simon Phillips the best Drummer ever
Neil peart would respectfully disagree, as would I.
I think you forgot Jeff porcaro Rip :(
I cannot stop crying about the beauty of this performance. cant wait see you in München again
What makes Luke cool is he has all the old blues influences,the cool jazz influences backed with his own style and can shred on top of that.Not to mention great feel and tone.He's not a guy who shreds and then plays something slower to portray he has feeling.he actually feels everything he plays.Fast or slow.

This song by Toto gives me a lot of comfort for the loved ones we have lost over the years...
Oh my god that guitar 🎸 solo was amazing
Geniales Solo, 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Pocaro Brothers RIP 😢
Such greatness. Simon and Nathan are so wonderful. Steve Lukather stands tall among the giants.. both as a recording genius and a live performer. One of the reasons is is risk-taking.. which is demonstrated well here.
Best solo you've ever played my friend.
Eu não canso de ouvir! Que solo de guitarra maravilhoso do Steve Lukather. The best of TOTO!
Sin dudas, Luckather el mejor. No me canso de oírlo.
Wow, inspired performance from Lukather. Hats off to him. He's got the blues down for sure. The whole band is unbelievable.
Steve Lukather!! WOW Just WOW! One of a kind that man! what a tribute to his brothers!
Sigo en la tristeza por los hermanos Porcaro :(
Absolutely flawless,youngsters pay close attention to this band and youl see true rock in motion.
And EMOTION. (See what I did there?)

7:25 i just saw that the names of Lukes Kids are printed on his guitar strap. I love this man...
Luke has his two oldest kids tattooed on his right arm
10 minutes of goosbumps... such a feeling. The ending is awesome...
Love Toto, but AM afraid of belongs to the past.....🎵🙋😥
Abstolutely amazing and fantastic. What a sound and atmosphere.
Great Guitar Solo Ever Luke❣
Sheer guitar brilliance - phenomenal talent 😊
Une brochette de musiciens hors pair,je les ai vu pas mal de fois et je ne m'en lasse pas.De saint-George à aujourd'hui,et ce morceau me donne des frissons .
Luke, Nathan East, Simon Philips and supurb backing vocals. What a dream team. This is where the magic happens. ❤
The best lead Guitar sound
le temps passe, les gens passent, mais la musique restera toujours...et TOTO pour toujours!
Now I know why I love this band so much.
Truly amazing unbelievable group of musicians. Never seen and never will see or hear a bad toto line up. As long as Lukes alive this band will hopefully remain. Seen a few negative comments on the new project but gotta say as good as anything but this song is so so special. Like is amazing as are every member that has ever graced a toto stage.
No different than Neal Schon with his band Journey
I love Wings of Time. Such a awesome and beautiful song. And such a beautiful song to dedicate to Jeff and Mike. Jeff and Mike are deeply missed.
These song reminds me of my late father, he is on the wings of an angel 😇 RIP pop.
