Went to see Toto/Luke last night

[SkyhighRocks]

The casino my band plays at comped me a couple of tickets. No meet and greet though since Toto charges their VIP fan club members for that. Pretty good show, although I'm not a huge fan. I probably knew 4 songs they did. They also had Michael McDonald playing after them but we didn't stick around for him. Here's a couple of vids I took.

Would've been a cool show to see. I've been listening to Toto since I was about 4 or 5. Paich and Luke sounded on point, would've been weird for me with them not having Bobby Kimball anymore though.

His Bogners do get a bit buried though..i know I know, it is a camera mic and it isn't the same old arguent about bogners not cutting through.. I'm implying he might set them that way, a little too smooth and fat.

Actually, it sounded like that there. I told my friend the guitar needed to be louder.

I'm a huge Toto fan! Love Luke! But I have to agree about his Bogner tone. Sounds spectacular on his own but it does get buried when the band gets going.

I thought it sounded fine. There's a lot going on in Toto instrumentally, and I could hear him fine. I think if you asked anyone who isn't a guitarist if he was too quiet they wouldn't think so.

Well maybe at your venue, but last night he was lost in the mix for the most part. Some of his solos/leads were non-existant to my ears.

I was on his opposite side. Guitar was totally drowned out most of the night. The videos I posted were the last 2 songs of the night so the kinks finally got worked out. The first 6-7songs I heard very little guitar.

Yep. Very glad my XTC's gone...

Caught Toto on this tour as well, Michael McDonald was pretty much the worst thing I have ever seen live...I mean, it was painful.

Why was that?
