Cloudflare Ray ID: 6411a064bbe339f5 Lundi soir – 1er février 2016 -, je suis allé voir TOTO en concert au Zénith de Nantes avec Jac, Nicole, Julia et Cécile. The lineup featured David Paich, Steve Lukather, Steve Porcaro, Simon Phillips, Joseph Williams and special guest Nathan East. With the release of the critically acclaimed and commercially successful Toto IV (1982), Toto became one of the best-selling music groups of their era. I'm a long-time Toto fan, and have all their albums (LP and CD) and all their available concert videos, and I've seen them live. Paich only occasionally appeared, with Phillinganes playing at most of the shows. The abnormal success of the album's lead single "Goodbye Elenore" in Japan proved to be the band's breakthrough in the country, and Japan has likewise become a permanent staple of their touring schedule since. Phillips joined the band and they went on the tour, which they dedicated to Jeff's memory. On September 18, 2018, guitarist Steve Lukather released his autobiography The Gospel According to Luke, a humorous review on his life in music. Toto is a Grammy Award winning American rock band that was formed in Los Angeles, California in 1977 by David Paich, Steve Lukather, Bobby Kimball, brothers Jeff Porcaro and Steve Porcaro, and David Hungate. En avril 2014, TOTO a sorti l'album live TOTO 35th Anniversary Tour - Live In Poland, filmé le 25 juin 2013 à Lodz, à l'occasion de leur tournée anniversaire qui a donné lieu à 29 concerts, dont 9 en France. The band continued to hire additional touring musicians for all subsequent tours. In 1984 Toto parted ways with lead vocalist Bobby Kimball. On October 19, 2020, it was announced that Steve Lukather and Joseph Williams would return to touring under the band name, in a proposed worldwide tour in 2021, known as the Dogz of Oz Tour. We ALL have outside careers that keep us all busy, not to mention families etc.. no one really wants to make new music, not a full record anyway. After Simon Phillips announced of illness, Jon Fariss and Ricky Lawson joined the band for the Night of the Proms. On July 20, 2018, Toto announced: "David Paich will not be performing on the band's planned North American tour. On February 9, 2018, Toto released their anniversary album 40 Trips Around the Sun. The band's 1982 album Toto IV spawned two of the most popular radio hits of all time in "Rosanna" and "Africa," which went to #2 and #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively, and in 1983 the Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences bestowed multiple Grammy Awards on the very popular band and its very popular music, including Album of the Year, Producer of the Year, and Record of the Year … Xavier Taplin remained in place of Paich through that tour. At the close of the first tour, the band began work on their next album, titled Hydra, which was released later that year and featured the single "99", inspired by George Lucas' cult film THX 1138. On January 2, 2019, Toto kicked off their 2019 leg of the 40 Trips Around The Sun tour in Byron Bay at the Falls Festival. For the tour, Toto brought along two additional musicians, Tom Kelly (guitar, backup vocals) and Lenny Castro (percussion), to increase the depth of the sound. Toto's Steve Lukather and Joseph Williams have revealed the band's new lineup with plans to debut it during a livestream concert coming up next month.. 1982 marked the beginning of Toto's most successful era. "I'll Be Over You" and "Without Your Love", which were both ballads sung by Lukather, were the two hit singles. Having bought the Toto: Falling in Between video, I was expecting to see camera work and stage setups that were similar (cool stage setup, good closeups of solos, etc.). Steve Lukather released his next solo album on February 22, 2008, named Ever Changing Times. The album's other single, "Pamela", became very popular and would be the band's last to hit the US Top 40. The album was not a commercial success and many fans were upset about the release, thinking that the band should have written new material instead. [56] The members had done smaller scale work before this album working with the likes of Steely Dan,[57] Seals and Crofts,[58] and Sonny & Cher,[59] among others. Steve Lukather provided the main guitar work on Michael Jackson's hit "Beat It", although Eddie Van Halen played the guitar solo in the bridge.
