Good tune, I see the video was directed by Steve Porcaro's daughter too.

Saturday Night draws even closer for Toto in Vicar Street. World Tour kicks off tonight in Glasgow.

David Hungate Original bass player on first 4 albums is in the band and Joining them on percussion is Lenny Castro who toured with them up till 1987.

The new album is a stunner Toto XIV I hope they play lots of songs from it the likes of Chinatown, Great Expectations and All These Tears would be fantastic to hear live.

I am told from a very reliable source that Stevie P will sing on this tour and specifically a song from the first album.

Roll on Saturday.

Sold out very quickly and tickets are at a premium. Should be a cracker.

Setlist from Glasgow last night was unreal ! One or two songs missing I personally would like to hear but overall some great surprises and some tracks which have not been played live or never played ! And yes Stevie P is singing !

Tonight's the night! Any idea of stage times, I assume it's the usual - headliners on at 9pm?

Would also like to know this. Says 8:30 on ticketmaster

Shred

Yeah I'm working off doors @ 7.30, if there's support (is there?) it should be 9pm.

The Princess Bride

Wow.

That was just brilliant!

Great to see them finally and they looked like they were having a whole lot of fun up there.

Joseph's voice was incredible. Highlight for me was The Muse...never thought i'd ever see that song live!

The Princess Bride

Great vibe and energy about them.
2½ hours of a solid performance, old and new- couldn't have asked for more.

What a day and what a night. The band were absolutely on fire.

What a concert on Saturday night with Toto.

Right from the onset with Running Out of Time you knew it was going to be special.

The return of Steve Porcaro on keys and Lenny Castro on Percussion has added so much depth to the band.

David Paich said before the tour started this was for the fans and the setlist was a mixture of long forgotten classics and deep album cut.

They played at least a track from each album and 3 from the debut and Toto IV.

Highlights to me were Taking It Back with Stevie P on vocals which was perfection and even though it is not one of my favourite songs I Won't Hold you Back sounded sublime.

The tracks from the new album got a great reception especially Orphan only downside was that Chinatown was not featured.

The guys were on fire and are at the top of the pile of musicians, I just hope they do not leave it for another 19 years before coming back.

The new songs sounded great live and fitted in very well with the setlist.
