I’ll just leave this right here

[rtav]

Omg...

 

[cchorney]

This was awful. I'm guessing he didn't have a working monitor? Ugh, and on such a nice stage.

 

[FunkHead]

That was a bit sad. I really hope Billy's' hearing can be fixed up. The man could really sing well and Africa was a masterpiece.
Wheezer didn't do near as good a job as some of the earlier Toto performances.

 

[NKBassman]

Damnit! Now I have Africa stuck in my head!
Luckily it's the studio version...

But surely covering one ear should have given him enough information to be at least somewhere near the pitch. He must be completely deaf and then some. Shocking really!

 

[maverick49]

oh my. You can feel the band's sense of urgency to get through the song quickly (I have been there!). Bobby was an excellent singer but the hard rock life has caught up with him. Best wishes Bobby.

 

[Mannyinnewyork]

And up until now we thought there were only seven seals.

 

[MonetBass]

And that's why he no longer sings with Toto.

 

[ifrisbee]

sorry couldn't make it past the 1 minute mark. Lately I've been listening to this cover.

 

[bloobass]

This HAS to be one of the "shred" videos...right?

Although when I looked this up on YouTube, a few videos down there was a video of him "rehearsing" this with a different band in what looked like somebody's basement...he did better on the verses, but completely missed the chorus.

 

[MonetBass]

Yeah, certain songs, "Africa" in particular, have a specific feel for a reason. Weezer did a pretty good job of not straying too far from that.

[Admiral Akbar]

Bass player looked like he was about to crack up laughing - especially when the first chorus came in.

Maybe that's what inspired his approach to his bass solo...

 

[acid bass]

Phew, this was wild! I like and respect the hell out of Toto's vocals; this could not have been more surprising. I figured for sure he would back off on the chorus the way Bon Jovi does on Living On A Prayer. Full commitment. And he doesn't stay in any relative key either; it's atonal yelling.

Norm is what throws me off, as while he has incredible chops, I feel he typically uses them... responsibly.

Norm is the person that convinced me to stop overplaying because it ruins songs. This was just another dip in the rollercoaster of emotions I felt while watching this.

 

[wideload]

That made my ears squint...

 

[Beejky]

I loved this guys work, until now! You stole it from me!

 

[BigBigGuy44]

That gum chewing has to go.

 

[InnerBass]

I hope that was a free concert.

 

[growlypants]

Sorry, I could only stand it til about 2:15. Yikes, that guy.........

 

[tedious1]

Hmm, I started with the intent of determining who needed to be fired.

I decided I'd fire myself so I could stop listening...
