in my opinion Simon filled Jeff's stool equally, with elegance and respect. He also took the band to a new place. I loved Jeff's drumming . In my head there will never be a better drummer to replace Jeff than Simon.
I disagree. No one could groove like Jeff could. Especially when you listen to Rosanna, that pocket is like no other. I think Sput (Toto’s new drummer) is the closest thing we’ve seen since Jeff played.
@@mironmiron2723funnily enough most people would know Joe (well, not exactly know but at least heard him) on the Lion King soundtrack singing "Can you feel the love tonight". Who knew he had a second life as teenage Simba :D
As a long time drummer myself I cannot begin to explain to anyone who isn’t a musician just how incredibly talented these guys are. However if you have watched this as a non muso rest assured you’ve just watched one of the finest performances by a group of people who are and have been at the very top of their game for a very long time. Absolute perfection all round.
I couldnt agree more!! With Jeff, Steve Porcaro, and Mike Porcaro gone from the band, the replacements of Simon Phillips and Nathan East continue the unbelievable excellence of this band. Simon has played with some of the biggest names in music, Nathan has played on some of the most iconic songs ever, and with the continued presence of David Paiche and Steve Lukather, both playing on some of the biggest songs eve recorded, they truly are one of the most significant musical ensembles ever collected. In regards to studio involvement, they had formed the band before they got into studio work. However, the more session work they did, the more everybody wanted them, individually and collectively. There will never, NEVER, be another band or group of musicians like Toto. They are the best!!!
This song is so complex, I can't say I have a "trained ear", but every time I listen to this song, there's just SO MUCH going on in there! That's why it's one of my faves!!
My only problem with this video is that it has only 5.4k upvotes???? How??? This is a magnificent song, and a fantastic live-performance! Up for 4 years... this should have millions of upvotes already! This is music, the way its ment to be!
No Studio's, no Auttune, no stupid clip with a bunch of cheap whorish babes to 'feast it up'... Real lyrics, sophisticated words, deep meaning, and one héll of a live-performance! This is what maces réal music, so timeless! In 100 years from now, or even longer, people will still listen to this in awe, and think 'What gréat artists! Fantastic!"
Simon Phillips is a miracle. WOW. Crazy drummer. One of the best. Together with Lukather they create incredible energy. it is the best performance i've ever seen
Remember in 87 my first girl friend spending time travelling with a very old vw and listening this song ...we never stop travelling an listening this song
@@King-Gilamashur2758 Simon is a great player no doubt but he does not do this tune justice and isn't even playing the right groove for it. Jeff is literally one of the top 5 pocket players of all time in my opinion. Only a handful of guys could lay down groove and time like him. Thats why he was so sought after as a session guy.
@@tedfordsdrumworld910 Simon didn't join TOTO to play like Jeff, he came in to play his own style that's why it sounds different. The band told him not to be a clone of Jeff.
I have to agree he actually does some songs better than Jeff, especially the prog rock stuff. Jeff was the master of shuffle groove, undisputed and unequalled but hearing Hydra with Simon is a completely different ballpark.
I'd say Keith Carlock was the only drummer in Toto whos time feel and pocket was closest to Jeff's. Most probably because of their traditional jazz and blues background which makes them swing even when playing eight notes. Also phrasing is more delicate.
He's played with a lot of people. I saw him at NAMM show or something jamming and who walks up, but Stevie Wonder. He played on Eric Clapton's Unplugged and Joe Satriani's eponymous album
@@markwilliams9613 totally agree and yeah 2007 was a good lineup as well but nothing against greg but I feel if you take out David Paitch its somewhat one step away from the original members. So between the two I cannot pick one because its most likely on the availability of the musician, and at the end of the day these two lineups are the A-list "session musicians" meaning they are masters at their craft so its all good for Toto fans. I.m not really sure about the latest lineup though compared to 2007 and 2013
I have just the biggest smile on my face everytime i hear this song. Cant wait to see them for the 2nd time on 28th of Feb 2025 in Finland. My all time fav band, thanks guys.
Jamás pensé que Toto podría perfeccionarse aún más. Pero esta versión con Simon Phillips es extraordinaria. Insuperable. Un sublime placer para los oídos!!! Gracias por tanto!!! Perdón por tan poco!!! 🙏🏼
Goosebumps 🙏perfect performance! And the fact that Joseph was coming back to play with Toto shows that they are not just working musicians....they are family! Through the ups and downs in life....love them🙏🌞💜💎🌍
Simon Phillips.. a worthy successor to fill Jeff's drum chair! Simon nails it with his playing technique, skills & sharp precision locking down the groove for the Band! LOVE iT !!.. 😍💕😍
There are many versions in which "Stop Loving You" was sung by the three singers of the band Toto. Bobby Kimball was the first and with his voice as scratchy as a tiger's scratch, he gave us a memorable version; Steve Lukather also sang a "his" version of this fantastic song in the 2019 concert with Ringo Starr's All-Starr Band with Warren Ham on second vocals (I highly recommend listening to it... you won't regret it!); finally the current frontman of Toto, Mr. Joseph Williams, the magician of this band's songs who manages to make any composition fantastic with his voice as clear as the water of a mountain stream! Joe also has various versions of the song we are covering under his belt, but in this 2013 concert in Poland with Amy Keys, Backing Vocals, Joe with Amy gave us an extraordinary and unrepeatable experience! Toto fans (I've been following them for 40 years, since high school), what do you think of what I've covered in this long post?
the level of talent on display, i just cant even describe it. But i will say although i love everything about this live version of this classic, the way Nathan East makes it more funky is just a delight. Love you all.
Nathan East with the backup singers on the chorus is pure magic! I never cared for this song, but the entire band makes this performance of it amazing to me. Simon is rock solid in the pocket! Love the Armand hi hats. It's a shame they discontinued them.
@dbrinkm1 0 seconds ago What a great tune ! that exemplifies the whole bands legacy of artistic musical qualities ! Joseph Williams - Lead Vocals...is in top form and he has stated this to be one of his favorite songs to sing and to accolade. This tune just reverberates with ordered sound supremacy...Great Toto presentation ! db
When you have 3 of Toto’s core - Steve (guitars), David (keys) and Joseph (vocals)still doing these live performances, and you add Simon Philips…you know it’s gonna be epic!
Simon Phillips Dynamic, created Toto's style following Porcaro's death, through 2013. Not just drumming, but producing as well. Its a loss that can be heard in their live shows today.
Casi todos los días escucho este concierto es impresionante la música de esta grupo está fuera de nivel yo e escuchando mucha música además soy músico y te puedo decir con serteza que no hay ninguna banda en la historia que ni siquiera se les acerque esto es un nivel muy superior a todos los otras bandas mis respetos además el baterista y el bajista que usaron en este concierto son excepcionales dándole más nivel al concierto mis respetos son los mejores
The first time I saw Nathan East was expo92 on TV. (I think it was 92...) I taped it on VHS and watched it over and over, Steve Vai, Satch, Joe Walsh, Nuno and I think Eric Johnson was there although I missed his set cos the tape ran out . Gutted cos I bought the audio years later and Eric Johnson Was so fucking good. Nathan East was just effortlessly cool smiling through the whole show.
June 2024 and Toto still rocking it. My all time favorite band. Was lucky to see them in concert a few years agoThey were in Seattle with Journey. What a night that was.
Simon. Ya está bien. Suficiente. No hacía falta tanto para convencer al más agnóstico musical de tu superlativo “don” para la percusión!!! Denle el premio mayor y no perdamos más tiempo!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

jeff would say the same too.
Hard to not see Jeff but Simon NAILS it. Same grooves same respect
I like Simon Philips, but I don’t think his style works here on this song. I lacks punch and energy. Imo it’s also a few bpm too slow.
I disagree. No one could groove like Jeff could. Especially when you listen to Rosanna, that pocket is like no other. I think Sput (Toto’s new drummer) is the closest thing we’ve seen since Jeff played.
@@eliteentertainment237 I am a guitar player, so I don't know the technical aspects of drumming. But Jeff Porcaro is the shit
One of the best guitarrist , drummer, bassist, keybordist...This band is insane!

Simon Philips on drums is making Jeff Porcaro smile
That was some BIG shoes to fill..
Actually, Jeff respected Simon.
Simon Phillips ... One of best drummers in the world
After Jeff
Jeff porcaro is the best
Without the “one of”
Simon is a very special drummer that really chooses the way he plays solos rather than hitting every drum he has for the sake of it.
My only problem with this video is that it has only 5.4k upvotes???? How??? This is a magnificent song, and a fantastic live-performance!
Up for 4 years... this should have millions of upvotes already!

Simon Phillips was the best replacement for Jeff Pocaro. His work around the kit is just genius and fits so well with Toto's style.
I have to agree he actually does some songs better than Jeff, especially the prog rock stuff. Jeff was the master of shuffle groove, undisputed and unequalled but hearing Hydra with Simon is a completely different ballpark.
I'd say Keith Carlock was the only drummer in Toto whos time feel and pocket was closest to Jeff's. Most probably because of their traditional jazz and blues background which makes them swing even when playing eight notes. Also phrasing is more delicate.
My favorite Toto song! Obviously, I wish Mike and Jeff Porcaro were still with us, but this lineup from 2013 was excellent.
Simon Phillips the coolest drummer on Earth
I wonder what Jeff Porcaro is like if he was still alive on this day? He must be killin' those drums with his big and energetic smile!
No Percussion needed with Simon Phillips.
More Groovy and this is Simon Phillips
Simon Phillips, Wooooow what a show!!!!
Nathan East on bass....Wow! One of Jazz's most prestigious bass players. One of my favorites right up there with Marcus Miller
He's played with a lot of people. I saw him at NAMM show or something jamming and who walks up, but Stevie Wonder. He played on Eric Clapton's Unplugged and Joe Satriani's eponymous album
sad that he didn't play those nice slap fills in the verses 😄😪
@@Max-Mustermann46 I'm talking about those original little Slaps in the Verse from the original tune ;) not sth. that he adds
@@J.M.81 I'm sorry about this.😅 It's true that Nathan didn't do the part that Mike was slapping. Lee and David were doing it, so why?🤔

Simon Phillips... Just brilliant.
Say what you want, but this is the best TOTO's line up ever.....

I would also agree... BUT I really love the line up they had in 2007 live in Paris for the falling in between tour.

Goosebumps 3:37
What a song!... What a mega band!... What a drummer!

Jeff and Simon both are in a nother level.
Genius❤️❤️❤️
Their best lineup. Pure perfection.
The words best studio musicians in one Band....you get Toto.
I love this version, imho better than cd version
simon is the best and drumming hero in my life..god bless you simon ..i am from sri lanka ..❤

Sorry, but Joe was the first to sing it - it came from The Seventh One album, by which time Bobby was long gone.
Toto, for all times.🍀
Simon, as usual, as cool as a cucumber. What an incredible underrated drummer and human being. He carried the legend of JP onwards and upwards.
The intro made me to remember Jeff and Mike smiling faces 😢.
Simon is for Toto what Todd Sucherman brings to Styx. 🥁🥁🥁
But the great Porcaro and Panozzo are still remembered. R.i.p.
@Ron Garvin Todd is an awesome drummer. 🥁🥁🥁
