Jesus Christ cant belive Lukather is almost 60, and ol' Bobby is almost 70!

Bless you Steve. What a brilliant artist you are.

According to Luke, Bobby could not hold a tone recording...same w the minute w Byron on past to present...singers were the issue in TOTO...drugs and touring do not mix...that said, Steve said this was one of the most uncomfortable meetings in his life...and rightfully so...Steve tries to do right and forgive and anyone who does not get this, simply wont get this. For all of us in bands, it is a unique relationship unlike really anything else...music is very powerful, so making music can be the greatest or the worst for people...the key is to forgive and make amends...sadly, some never get this until it is too late...then, it is too late. Some get that more than others as well...

I wish Bobby join w Luke in some session, or concert, saddly drugs ruins Kimbal voice, I hope today all will be fine not only out of stage. Lukather the best!!!!

Nice to see Bobby and Luke in the same room.

People say that meeting wasn't planned and Steve got surprised but for me he was more like he didn't want to meet Bobby, his smile is forced and he seems uncomfortable for some unknown to me reasons. I don't know exactly how to describe it but after watching the video I came to that conclusion, I just feel something wasn't right.

Luke has said how awkward this was. Bobby completely surprised him.

What could ever be on Toto guys without coke? Sure they fall on deep depression into their bedrooms for years. What on the hundreds of thousands spent on coke? Maybe they could help great causes for the most needed in the world.
