Mark MN · 13 Aug 2012

This live performance was filmed in front of a sold-out crowd exceeding 18,000 fans on March 17, 2018 at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam. TOTO performed a wide range of songs, including hit singles, rarely performed live deep cuts, and two recently recorded tracks which appeared on their new Greatest Hits album (40 Trips Around The Sun). Also included is the "40 Tours Featurette, " a brand new interview with band members: Steve Lukather, David Paich, Steve Porcaro and Joseph Williams.

Tracklist:

Spoiler: show

This has been out since March and was never posted, so I thought I'd give it a whack.

The USA versions are all imports and are expensive. So, I went with Amazon UK to get the BR/CD combo (region free).

If you're a Toto fan, this is worth the money. It's a great show. What I liked are the deep cuts they played instead of the usual stuff. Made for great viewing/listening.

Edit: why don't the IMWAN tags get inserted automatically on all the links? Only one took.

I fixed them for you, Mark. Did you happen to remove all the trailing code in those URLs before you posted them?

Yeah, I did. There was search garbage mixed in, so I figured I'd better delete that out. I guess I took it too far.

You have to paste the entire URL in order for the software to work its magic and convert it to an IMWAN-friendly link.

If I'm reading the above links correctly, it looks like the only way to get the blu-ray/CD combo is from the UK. The US store only has the DVD/CD combo and if I want the blu-ray it's only available by itself...right?

You can get the Blu-ray/CD combo from Amazon USA:

I'll fill in the missing links in the first post too.

Thanks, Linda. I hope the listings on Amazon are correct. They all show number of discs as 1 and there's no indication that it's bundled with CDs other than the image. Will order it and hopefully they send the right item.

Linda seems to be able to dig deeper than I can.

At any rate, you'll enjoy the heck out of this. If anyone has the Poland concert vid, don't expect a repeat. There's more deep cuts here and that's all good by me. The show is killer, too.

Really looking forward to this. Somehow I've never seen Toto in concert, even though I've been a fan for a long time and wrote a multi-art blog series on their discography, so having their live albums, DVDs, & blu-rays is the closest I've gotten. I opted for the DVD/CD package from AmazWAN US since it was $20 cheaper. For the number of times I'll watch the show it didn't seem worth the extra price to upgrade to blu-ray. It's due to arrive on Monday. Can't wait. I agree that the set list looks amazing.

Get it, Rich? Watch it yet?

One thing I forgot to mention was the inclusion of a song called Human Nature on the DVD/BR/CD. I looked at my discs and it's not there. So, I googled it and found out it's a song by Steve Porcaro that they wrote and was recorded by Michael Jackson for the Thriller album. I also found out that Toto played on quite a few songs on that record.

Ya learn something new every day.

You didn’t know “Human Nature?”

That’s an MJ classic.

And yes, many Toto members are on Thriller.

In fact, it’s Lukather doing all the guitars on “Beat It.” EVH only does the solo.

Mark MN · 13 Aug 2012

After reading about it, it didn't surprise me.... Toto started off as session musicians.

I did get it but only had time to scan through it for a few minutes to check out the audio & video. It certainly looks great, and the set list is fantastic (although I would have loved a few more from The Seventh One, but who's complaining?). I was pleased to see their version of "Human Nature" included...that was a nice surprise. The surround sound mixes were a little muddy but once I dive in I'll get used to the sound. Not sure when I'll have time to watch the whole thing but it's near the top of my viewing pile (along with the 5-disc deluxe CD/DVD edition of Zappa Plays Zappa, which I got on the same day as the Toto set).

I finally watched this DVD over the last couple of nights. As expected, the performances were great & I loved the song selection (especially the sort-of acoustic "storytellers" section in the middle). Joseph Williams did a great job. In the mini documentary he admitted that the keys for certain songs were taken down but it wasn't noticeable. Also, the bass player has an amazingly high voice. He's the unsung vocal hero here.

Mark MN · 13 Aug 2012

I think this CD/DVD/BR rivals the Poland show for different reasons. Sure, Simon's not on drums, but the new guy fills the role pretty well. Plus, I thought this show was more personal with the acoustic/storyteller section. I usually don't like acoustic stuff. I want the original version. But for some reason, it works here.

I was so impressed with TOTO when we saw them at Westbury a few years ago I have now bought tickets to their only local show in Port Chester NY this October. Wish they would come back to LI.

JohnG · 03 Aug 2006

The setlist was very similar at the Port Chester NY show the other night but no "Angela". They did do "Human Nature" during the acoustic set.
