Toto - Falling in Between (2009)

Close

Toto were formed in LA in the late 70’s by a group of friends who were all much in demand session musicians. They went on to epitomize the classic American pop/rock sound of the 80’s and 90’s with hit albums and singles including Hold The Line, Africa, I’ll Be Over You and the multi-Grammy winning worldwide hit Rosanna. This concert was recorded at Le Zenith in Paris in March 2007 in front of a wildly enthusiastic sell-out crowd. It captures the band rocking at their hardest and most powerful and giving a new life to all their best loved tracks.

Toto: Falling in Between is a show so good, it would undoubtedly make longtime fans of the band both happy and sad at the same time. On one hand, the fans would get one final glimpse at their idols delivering some truly inspiring performances of many of their greatest hits - "Rosanna", "Walk The Line", "Africa", "Don't Chain My Heart". On the other hand, they would be reminded that, indeed, Toto are no more - after Steve Lukather's departure in 2008, the band ceased to exist.

Directed by the award winning Blue Leach (Depeche Mode), Toto: Falling in Between captures the legendary rock band during one of their last shows in the notorious Le Zenith in Paris. Toto's line-up is somewhat unusual - veteran bassist Leeland Sklar (Phil Collins, James Taylor) has replaced Mike Porcaro while keyboardist Greg Phillinganes has taken David Paich's place; Steve Lukather, Simon Phillips, Bobby Kimball and Tonny Spinner are present.

In addition to performing a number of songs from their 2006 album - "Falling In Between", "Bottom Of Your Soul", "King Of The World" - as well as introducing new arrangements for a few of their greatest hits ("Rosanna"), Toto also surprise the crowd with a couple of outstanding solos. Greg Phillinganes, for example, does a terrific piece that quickly makes it perfectly clear why earlier in his career he was asked to assist such stars as Michael Jackson and Eric Clapton.

As expected, Steve Lukather and Bobby Kimball's singing is outstanding; the former in particular sounds fantastic in "Kingdom of Desire". He also does a number of great improv solos that transform Toto: Falling in Between into a very unique experience.

Recorded with state-of-the-art technology, Toto: Falling in Between looks fantastic. Multiple cameras capture the members of the band as they sing and interact with the enthusiastic audience from a variety of different angles.
