Location: Cicero, NY | Don't know if there are any Toto fans in the OFC but I got a chance to see them play the other night and all I can say is WOW :eek: ! They sound great vocally and musically. Steve Lukather was outstanding and his second guitar player (sorry, didn't catch his name) was almost as good on his, yes, Ovation 12 string :D . Bobby Kimball's vocals sounded as good as they did almost thirty years ago too. Just fantastic. |

Location: Paris/France | Hi,
I've seen Toto in Paris in september 1991 (i'm not sure of the year).
S.Lukather was really incredible!!
And Porcaro surely one of the greatest drummer of the last century.
It was the last show of their 91 tour and they gave us a special "gift".
In the middle of the show, a blond woman came with her clothes and after 3 minutes, she was nude... :eek:
She was not a real blond!! :D
There's a DVD of this show in Paris but it's strange, this part of the show has disappear...
Jérôme :cool: |

Location: Cicero, NY | Somehow I believe that. During this show, Lukather stopped and told a story of Porcaro meeting a girl at one stop on tour and really wanting to get to "know" her. He wined and dined her for hours, brought her backstage after the show and introduced her to everyone and then wined and dined her again afterwards. He was finally able to talk her into coming up to his room for some wine and some time in the hot tub. They go up to his room and she starts to undress whereupon Porcaro finds, written in marker on her butt "Bobby Kimball was here."
He swore it was a true story and Kimball never once shook his head no... |

Yeah, I got your crystal ball right here, lady. One little splash of water and you melt like a cheap bomb pop at disney world. Dave |

Location: Warren, OH | I remember my first experience hearing them - one of the local radio stations simulcast a concert from the Akron Agora. For a group of guys who were studio musicians (or so I was told), they rocked. I bought a number of their albums.
What kind of venues are they playing now? |

Location: Cicero, NY | They played a casino showroom in Utica (250 max I think) where I heard them but they said they were warming their chops up for a larger venue tour. And, from what I've read, they were mostly studio musicians/friends (I think Porcaro and Lukather's fathers worked together in the business at one time) who put it together after a couple of them worked together on Boz Scagg's Silk Degrees lp (another great piece of work). |

Location: Indiana | back in about '94, a girl I knew needed some work clothes or something and needed a ride(she doesn't drive) to the local Goodwill store.While she was shoppng, I saw a big box with a bunch of old vinal LP's(I believe they were $.50ea or 3 for $1).Not much that I liked, but I did end up with A Whitesnake,a Boz Skaggs, and a Toto lp(the grey one?). When I got them home and took them out, I found them to be in imaculate shape.But the sleve to Toto lp was also autagraghed by the entire band. Not bad for 33 cents, huh.

p.s. I always have been a huge Toto fan(the band,the dog, and the town where they got their name, Toto, Indiana). |

Location: Tulsa, Oklahoma | I worked in a record store for years while I was in high school and college and during slow times I'd read the album jackets to see who the musicians were that played on the albums... You'll see that memebers of Toto played on quite a few albums... Including Boz Scaggs and Steely Dan.. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Cliff, I'm quite sure those are aftermarket, non-OEM, referb's, bolt-ons, whatever you want to call them.
Btw, For the longest time I thought the name of the band was spelled Todo. It wasn't until I heard a Brit say it that it became obvious that it was spelled Toto. Dave |
