Toto - Pamela (With A Little Help From My Friends)

Pamela

Toto presents "With A Little Help From My Friends".

The performance captures one special night on November 21, 2020 when Steve Lukather, Joseph Williams and David Paich appeared with the new line-up of TOTO for a global event originating from Los Angeles, CA. Joining Lukather, Williams and Paich for this next chapter in their indelible history are new band members bassist John Pierce (Huey Lewis and The News), drummer Robert “Sput” Searight (Ghost-Note / Snarky Puppy), and keyboardist / background vocalist Steve Maggiora (Robert Jon & The Wreck). Keyboardist Dominique “Xavier” Taplin (Prince, Ghost-Note) and multi-instrumentalist / vocalist Warren Ham (Ringo Starr) segued over continuing their tenure in the ensemble. This marks the fifteenth incarnation of the TOTO line-up in consideration of band members or sidemen who joined or exited.

Jesus... Joseph Williams!!! Same powervoice as when heard you on The Seventh One tour, Mar 26, 1988!!! Seriously..what is this magic?

[Collegio]

People either forget or don't realize that Joseph Williams, the lead singer on this song, is a son of music composer, film scorer, and conductor John Williams.

[dawnpoint]

Still singing in the original key after all these years. What a beast.

[stm]

Toto is, undoubtably, one of the best bands of all time!

[Samantha-vlly]

I'm thankful that Toto still exists today.

[valentinepayne]

Why isn't this band in the rock and roll hall of fame very underrated, i would even put them in the R and B hall of fame.

[ScottAnd]

Whatever Joe is doing is working. He sounds incredible

[andynaundorf]

In the tradition of Toto, each musician brings his own mojo to the table and magic is made. Pamela is still a favorite after all these years. Well done gentlemen!

[PaulStewart-mz]

Even with two originals and new members TOTO still sounds awesome keeping that TOTO flame on going 👍👍💯

[MikeRuh]

As usual, Toto delivers. Joe sounds awesome.

[sainsburmcmanus]

This backing band is sensational, feels weird without Paich or a Porcaro but Luke and Joe are all that’s needed, this live album is perfection.

[alecj]

Joseph Williams sounds unbelievable. The band is great. Im so happy to still see Luke up there jamming. It is what it is....time marches the guys should be proud. They are representing Toto as it should be.

Thank You guys!

PS - I do miss Joseph's legendary hair from this original video for this song -- Luke was no slouch either.

[jeffreykilian]

Hard, very hard to believe that Joe Williams still sings this good. Toto is without a doubt one of the very best "chosen" groups ever to exist. Thank you for the Music!

[josephford]

Luke's guitar sounds so good here. Good thickness and compression.

[bodegadereedjohn]

Joseph, with each passing day your voice seems to rejuvenate. Thanks Toto

[clausditlevchristensen]

Joseph sounds like he did on the seventh one Amazing

[anderszettergren]

Killer version.
What a lineup of musicans and groove. Thanks to everyone in this.

[Quantum]

Joseph's voice has gotten so much better since his brief hiatus back in the day. I wish him much success and that his voice remains in pristine condition. He is one of the main voices of Toto.

[ATK]

While the Porcoro feel is gone from the music entirely, Luke and Joseph still have that magic touch. Rest in peace Jeff and Mike and best of luck to Steve.

[luna]

Perfect! I hope those who've passed are looking down and Happy their music lives on.
