Falling In Between Live
''Falling in Between Live'' is the fourth live album by American band Toto, released in 2007. It was recorded live at Le Zénith, Paris, France. The album is the first Toto record to feature bassist Leland Sklar, who at the time was thought to be temporarily replacing Mike Porcaro, "due to a hand injury", however Porcaro had really begun to feel the first effects of ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). It is also the last Toto album with original lead vocalist Bobby Kimball, as well as the second and final recording to feature keyboardist/vocalist Greg Phillinganes, who was added to the official line-up to return the band to the classic 2 keyboardist format, and to fill in the gap during live performances since David Paich had temporarily retired from touring, but was still an active member in the studio.

It became a huge hit for the band, reaching number five on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and number 14 on the UK Singles Chart. Content Jeff Porcaro, the band's drummer, gave a definition for the song: Hold the Line' was a perfect example of what people will describe as your heavy metal chord guitar licks, your great triplet A-notes on the piano, your 'Sly'-hot-fun-in-the-summertime groove, all mishmashed together with a boy from New Orleans singing... and it really crossed over a lot of lines." Background and writing Keyboardist David Paich noted that the song was relatively easy to develop. He began with the piano riff, which would b ...

Jeff Porcaro
Jeffrey Thomas Porcaro (; April 1, 1954 – August 5, 1992) was an American drummer, songwriter, and record producer. He is best known for his work with the rock band Toto but is one of the most recorded session musicians in history, working on hundreds of albums and thousands of sessions. While already an established studio player in the 1970s, he came to prominence in the United States as the drummer on the Steely Dan album ''Katy Lied''. AllMusic has characterized him as "arguably the most highly regarded studio drummer in rock from the mid-'70s to the early '90s" and says that "it is no exaggeration to say that the sound of mainstream pop/rock drumming in the 1980s was, to a large extent, the sound of Jeff Porcaro." He was posthumously inducted into the ''Modern Drummer'' Hall of Fame in 1993. Early life Jeffrey Thomas Porcaro was born on April 1, 1954, in Hartford, Connecticut, the eldest son of Los Angeles session percussionist Joe Porcaro (1930–2020) and his wife, Eil ...

Stan Lynch
Stanley Joseph "Stan" Lynch (born May 21, 1955) is an American musician, songwriter and record producer. He was the original drummer for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers for 18 years until his departure in 1994. Early years Lynch was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S., and moved to Gainesville, Florida, in the early 1960s. He began playing music as a small child. As a teenager growing up near Gainesville, Lynch determined that he would find a way to make a living with music. "As a kid I had very little opportunity. I was a marginal student. I wasn't going to college. My parents didn't have money." "I played guitar and piano, and I always thought I was going to be a guitar player," said Lynch. "The drums were sort of a happy accident. I didn't really think that they would be my ticket out of the ghetto. Choosing to be a musician back then was not like choosing a job, but an entire lifestyle. My father looked at me as if I were going to wear a dress and dance in the circus." Lynch ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Caught In The Balance
''Mindfields'' is the tenth studio album (though counted as the 11th album overall — ''see Toto XIV)'' by the American rock band Toto. It was released on November 16, 1999. ''Mindfields'' saw the return of vocalist Bobby Kimball, who had departed the band following the 1982 album ''Toto IV''. Reception The album received mixed reviews from critics. Michael Gallucci of AllMusic wrote: "Overlong, overwrought, and devoid of personality, this incredibly dull world-view update of Toto's crassly professional sound manages to pillage several cultures at once without contributing a single song worth remembering. The playing is tight -- as you would expect from a bunch of studio session musicians -- but all the skills in the world can't liven these 14 plodding tracks." Track listing 1999 Release 1 On some copies of the album, a longer version of "High Price of Hate" was used clocking in at 9:49. 2 Bonus track on North American and Japanese versions of the album. 2018 All In ...
