I get why these guys get overlooked "LOL you're named after Dorothy's dog" but seriously, this is musicianship at its best. It's aggressive but it floats on air.
The comment 'He's so underrated' is a very overrated comment. This kind of comment is there with every video on CZcams of Eric Clapton, Peter Green. David Gilmour/Brown, Steve Morse/Howe/Hackett/Jones/Lukather/Vai/Cropper, Jimmy Hendrix/Page/Nolen, Lindsey Buckingsham, Alex Lifeson, John Mayer, Me :-), Mark Knopfler, Joe, Brian May. Have you been lying under a stone? Everybody knows.......underrated? Sigh!!!
I think the best versions of the songs that were on the setlist are from this concert, but thats just my opinion. KOD is one of their best albums, again imo. But, it was also a sad time for the band because they didn’t know it, but Jeff would soon pass during the rehearsals for the KOD tour.
I saw Toto June 11th 1993 at the Chestnut Cabaret in Philadelphia on this tour and it was a great show. Simon Phillips is an amazing drummer. And Kingdom of Desire is THE BEST Toto album!
Jeff & Mike had some groove! The whole band sounds incredible, and this video is 1080p quality and this was recorded in 1991! So sad that Jeff passed, he was and still is one of my favorite drummers. I wonder what he and Mike would be doing if they never passed away, they probably would still be playing with TOTO, but you never know. I’ve always thought Kingdom Of Desire was one of their best albums, but unfortunately it was the last with Jeff. RIP, Jeff & Mike Porcaro.
Soy chilena,y me gustaría si c puede verdad,que me describieras está melodia Desiré,es tan hermosa y electrizante,la siento y me estremece, aún que no c inglés pero me gusta tanto,y e deseados saber qué dise, lukather la canta tán apasionado,ciento que a él también lo apasiona está melodia grasias de antemano,si no c puede no importa,es mi canción favorita y solo tengo 28 años,son lo máximo Toto
Absolutely INCREDIBLE.The musicianship on this live performance is off the charts. Still saddens me Jeff left us so early and then Mike.No family should have to go through that pain.
You used to be on fire now you chill me to the bone We used to fly like angels now we're sinking like a stone You say you're trying to help me but that ain't the way it feels I think you're trying to kill me with those stiletto heels Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing I been stabbed in the back babe And if you don't love me, I'll never feel a thing And oh, one thing I know There's only one place left for me to go Going back to the kingdom of desire Going down to the valley of the gun I'm gonna stand too close to the fire I'm gonna fly too close to the sun They say the king of love sleeps on a velvet bed My sheets feel like sandpaper And my pillow feels like lead But as sure as Atlantis sank into the sea I'm sinking like a stone babe that's how it's got to be Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing I been stabbed in the back babe And if you don't love me I'll never feel a thing And oh, if I don't have you There's only one thing left for me to do Going back to the kingdom of desire Going down to the valley of the gun I'm gonna stand too close to the fire I'm gonna fly too close to the sun [Instrumental break] When you dig up God's little acre you lose all peace of mind You stare into the distance looking for a sign But that sign it never comes babe Your wishes won't come true You keep praying for the rain while the sun beats down on you And oh, one thing I know There's only one place left for me to go Going back to the kingdom of desire Going down to the valley of the gun I'm gonna stand too close to the fire I'm gonna fly too close to the sun [repeats 2x] I'm gonna fly too close to the sun, yeah I'm gonna fly too close to the sun
I find it maddening that the camera crew seemed to have no idea who Jeff porcaro was... We get plenty of shots of the percussion guy, backing singers' butts, but little of Jeff!!
This tempo is HARD to lock into...it is SO easy to rush this song live...Jeff LOCKS the tempo...Mike hits those low notes...Luke vocally sounds as good live as in studio...one of the few times this was ever play...the studio version of course is so polished...Mike's bass even better...this was a different TOTO...more rock and bluesy...no high tenor...
You are right about tempo. Jeff was “the tempo god”, imo. Never rushed or slowed down. He was just so good. And, damn Mike and Jeff sound incredible, as well. I loved all the singers they had, but Luke singing fits their music style the best, imo.
Every public have heard Lukather’s play from famous records, while not aware of his name, in which is the most significant difference between him and other technical guitarists such as Yngwie Malmsteen, Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, John Petrucci, whose play appeals for guitar freaks only. He is above all of them.
Am I the only one who thinks it is strange that this song was officially released in 1992 (Kingdom of Desire album) but was played during this tour in 1991? Must be very special for the audience!
Same with Jake to the Bone and On the Run (not on the KOD album unfortunately). Saw them in 1991 two times (Rock am Ring and Köln) playing these new songs, amazing...
This was kind of “prototype” version, same thing with Jack To The Bone. So, basically they play 2 songs that they written for their next album before they actually recorded them.
@@nickavenoso7851 They borrowed the riff there weren’t any lyrics so it’s partially original. Also half the record had been recorded so they had some songs finished and ready to play live. This tour happened half way into recording the album.
Acho que uma das maiores perdas para a bateria foi o Porcaro. Na minha opinião foi o melhor, o cara tira um som inexplicável da bateria, viradas geniais, feeling... Pqp
@@jaycareaga9929 I don’t know… That guitar clearly doesn’t have the matching headstock, and it’s also not blue, but black. Seems like a different guitar to me.
@@leonsibum I saw this tour the guitar is a blue Valley Arts. Its hard too see with the lights. It’s a older model when they still had Fender style headstock. His first VA built in 1978 was like that.

The beginning of the solo, wow! It rules.
Steve Lukather is the most underrated guitar player of all time. A true master.
That solo starting around the 4 min mark is damn epic!! On par with David Gilmour's Comfortably Numb on the Live Pulse album!
@@CyberfunkLove He's a hidden underrrated gem. Love the guy
Underrated? He's one of the most sought after session musicians ever.
@@belin-teamdjokovic1628 Underrated by the music-press and the general population

Man just look at Mike Porcaro crushing that LOW END!
I miss that guy
One of the greatest bassists of all time.
and he actually is, indeed. Very tight, absurd tempo!
A genious of a bass player. That low end slide is so tight. He and Jeff really was amoung the best there ever was.
and as always: the one and only rule for any bass player: its not necessary to play many notes. the right ones are just enough.
Best performance ever! Just amazing, Luke, Jeff and Mikey P!!!!
No words to describe how Mike plays bass with emotions.... One of the best lives ever, studio version is blank after this. Thank u Toto!
foRceFN1 Yes he was 🙏
The best Toto gig we ever went to was around this time in 1991 at the town & Country, Kentish town, London. The last one with Jeff.
Miss Mike so much too, he was such a great player like Jeff.
marisha4sure They both are World Class players, imo
@@marisha4sure ESTOY DE ACUERDO LO MAXIMO,Y LUKATHER QUE GUITARRISTA ES LO MÁXIMO
They don't even have too look at eachother. Magic.
Superb, awesome!! Love how Mike's bass just growled underneath it all. Peace be to the Porcaro family.
this version is sick, the quality is increadible! this is music!
There’s no bad songs on the Kingdom Of Desire, imo. It’s one of their best albums.
This version is f...ing amazing!! Blows the studio take right out of the water. So much more ballsy!!
I think the best versions of the songs that were on the setlist are from this concert, but thats just my opinion. KOD is one of their best albums, again imo. But, it was also a sad time for the band because they didn’t know it, but Jeff would soon pass during the rehearsals for the KOD tour.
This is TOTO Alltogether. This is soooo good this makes me cry
Tears in my eyes.
I saw Toto June 11th 1993 at the Chestnut Cabaret in Philadelphia on this tour and it was a great show. Simon Phillips is an amazing drummer. And Kingdom of Desire is THE BEST Toto album!
Both Jeff and Mike bringing heavy chops to the game.....its in the blood.
lord that guitar tone on the solo...and them chops...DAMN
Just a proof music is meant to be seen, heard and felt live. I would have loved to experienced that concert, Toto at it's best.
My Favorite Toto album of all times!!
I totally agree!
Thumbs up is nowhere near enough to describe how good this is !!!!!
Absolutely the BEST live version ever recorded of KOD. So powerful and with a KILLER solo…. Luke we love you! 🙌🏻🎸🙏🏻😘

No existen palabras para describir lo maravilloso de esta obra con nombre poco convencional . Simplemente Toto.
This is what I call Music ! Just amazing 👏
Holy shit. What a stunning track!!!!
Fucking love this Album....Jeff legacy...hands up for Simon to cover the drums in Paris Bercy during this tour...very emotional...
It has no bad songs on it, imo.
This guitar!!!!!!!!!
i truly believe that Jeff and Mike had a musical "bond" because of shared DNA ... you can really feel it here
damn straight. and God got jealous, so he took them both. Hope he's enjoying them, otherwise, we want them back!
russell harley Jeffery Michael & Steve they all did bro
@@kai326 Yeah. I liked Simon with Mike, but there was nothing like Jeff and Mike.

Immaculate. The groove never leaves.
Phenomenal musicians, phenomenal songs.
Jeff Porcaro , Mike Porcaro and Carlos Vega in my heart Thiago from Brazil !!!
Absolutely the best live version EVER recorded #fan #kod 🙏🏻❤️🎸
This song is all about the tempo! Keeping steady but giving it the feeling of dragging a bit very rare drum and bass combo!
1:49 my Uncle on Percussion Chris Trujillo ‘ Toto 90-93.. Jeffrey & Michael 🙏
Such a great band...my favorite lineup. No need for another singer, Luke's the man.,
Who's the second drummer?
@@psychedelicfright85 Chris Trujillo
@@TheMidnightKamikaze cool. I love this bluesy sound.
Kimball is still their best vocalist tho
Dennis Grundelius disagree. Kimball 3rd best behind Luke and Joe
Best version ever! Masterpiece.
You used to be on fire now you chill me to the bone
We used to fly like angels now we're sinking like a stone
You say you're trying to help me but that ain't the way it feels
I think you're trying to kill me with those stiletto heels
Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing
I been stabbed in the back babe
And if you don't love me, I'll never feel a thing
And oh, one thing I know
There's only one place left for me to go
Going back to the kingdom of desire
Going down to the valley of the gun
I'm gonna stand too close to the fire
I'm gonna fly too close to the sun
They say the king of love sleeps on a velvet bed
My sheets feel like sandpaper
And my pillow feels like lead
But as sure as Atlantis sank into the sea
I'm sinking like a stone babe that's how it's got to be
Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing
I been stabbed in the back babe
And if you don't love me I'll never feel a thing
And oh, if I don't have you
There's only one thing left for me to do
Going back to the kingdom of desire
Going down to the valley of the gun
I'm gonna stand too close to the fire
I'm gonna fly too close to the sun
[Instrumental break]
When you dig up God's little acre you lose all peace of mind
You stare into the distance looking for a sign
But that sign it never comes babe
Your wishes won't come true
You keep praying for the rain while the sun beats down on you
And oh, one thing I know
There's only one place left for me to go
Going back to the kingdom of desire
Going down to the valley of the gun
I'm gonna stand too close to the fire
I'm gonna fly too close to the sun
[repeats 2x]
I'm gonna fly too close to the sun, yeah
I'm gonna fly too close to the sun
What a lineup !!! Jeff PORCARO merci du fond du cœur 💓 !!!
Man, Mike Porcaro was an absolute beast. What a loss.
That pocket and the way he holds it!!!!!!
@John Thanagraj Always loved him because he was more about the groove and feel, instead of just showing chops.
My God! That bass...
*ONE OF THE BEST BASS LINES OF TO A HEARD*
I find it maddening that the camera crew seemed to have no idea who Jeff porcaro was... We get plenty of shots of the percussion guy, backing singers' butts, but little of Jeff!!

Como suena esa violaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!
mind f**k !! one of the best in business at their very best !!
7:03 & 7:16 priceless!!! 😯😯😯😯😯
paisteformula6021 Jeff was one of my favorite drummers.
The cats are on 11 here . Seriously miss Jeff and Mike.
It's almost as the music willed itself into existence and the musicians just happened to be there. That's when you know they're fucking GOOD.
PARA MI ES EL MEJOR GUITARRISTA Y INTERPRETE ES UUUUNICO, SHOW MAN LUKATHER
Esto es magia!!! Que bello registro!!!
LUUUUUUUUKEEEE
yes. ty
Mike and Jeff, groove.
4:34 David approves!!

He is above all of them.
He played for music, and didn’t just play fast and play a lot of notes to try to be a show-off.
Dam they were good around this time.....
5:27 Steve channeling his inner Eddie Van Halen
Fingers are sweating perfect love that! play better.
OH, internet... 5 thumbs down... how's THAT happen? Teenage pranks? Ha ha.
Anyone else notice he sang the chorus backwards?
