5.0 out of 5 stars all live albums should sound this good!, August 1, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Livefields (Audio CD)

I'll be the first to admit that, at one time, I seldom listened to Toto beyond their standard "radio fare"...and then Simon Phillips joined the band. For the uninitiated, he is simply one of the most phenomenal rock drummers on the planet. I miss the late great Jeff Porcaro, but you die-hards out there should give this worthy effort a listen!
That aside, the rest of the musicianship on this set blows me away as much as Phillips! Listen to the keyboard work; it has to be heard to be believed...and then, of course, there's Steve Lukather's awesome guitar riffs throughout. Virtually all of their best is here ( although "Africa" is conspicuously missing for whatever reason ). This is about the best sounding live album I've ever heard. Period. The drum sound is HUGE, yet not overbearing. I can't rave enough about the mix---the blend of ambience is perfect. If you're one of those who simply don't like live albums because of crowd noise, then chances are you won't like this one either...but for sheer sonic recording quality, this one holds up against virtually ANY pristine studio effort. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tops In Their Field, April 20, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Livefields (Audio CD)

Regardless of their unfortunate pop pigeonhole, Toto is one of the greatest bands around. Their studio efforts are, for the most part, flawless. No one writes, arranges and plays music better than these guys. Now...give a listen to a flawless live recording. It's so good, it could be a studio recording. Each feature performer (Lukather on guitar, Paich on keyboards and Philips on drums) gets a solo spot. They do a 4-song acoustic set. It's all here! Do yourself a favor and check out one of the most underrated, underappreciated bands in the world. You won't regret it.

This live double disc features all the classics as well as the return of their original lead singer Bobby Kimball. Great tunes & awesome sound!!! Beautiful production.......also recommend the Toto 25th Anniversary DVD.
It's a shame this band doesn't get the recognition they deserve!!! Truly amazing talents who are made up of some of LA's finest studio musicians.
If you're a fan you won't be disappointed.
