Toto's Africa...

Sung by an amazing choir, complete with thunderstorm. Make sure you listen on a nice system, doesn't really translate on lappy speakers. The original was beautifully engineered and mixed, love the song, and love this version of it.

They were my MOST favourite band ever.
I'm a HUGE Toto fan - have seen them live everytime they toured here. I took tunetown to their last show - was fantastic!
They were an awesome band with awesome songs - shame they never got the record label support that they deserved.
Lukather was king on guitar (and still is...)
Thanks for that link - was great..
I have a live recording of them doing Africa with a live choir (actually recorded in South Africa also) - sounds unreal..

I think all young bands should watch TOTO's live performances and note on what level to achieve for their live performances. I knew they were good but live is better than their recordings, not so USA squashed.

I saw them live last year, i think i was the only person i know who bought a ticket :P . It was an awesome show though, Bobby Kimble even threw me a one of Simon Phillips sticks. I really like the DVD of that tour too, i have one from the 90's with some skinny black dude singing and i didnt like it so much.

Yeah, he was a mistake that singer (Jean-Michel Byron) - a record company decision that one - not a good one either..
Luke was singing most of the time from Kingdon of Desire up until Mindfields - when they returned Bobby to vox..
Was good to see (and hear!!)
