“After Touring for a full year behind the highly acclaimed album “Falling In Between” and subsequently inspiring hundreds of thousands of devoted fans, TOTO have filmed a spectacular new live show at the atmospheric Le Zenith in Paris. Seventeen years after their first live video was released, TOTO have returned once again to this legendary concert venue to perform in front of another enthusiastic audience and capture and extraordinary performance on DVD. Enter the live action and become a part of nearly two hours of spellbinding music and showmanship that left every live concert-goer in awe. // Joining the line-up is renowned bassist and long time friend Lee Sklar (Phil Collins, James Taylor) who teams up with Steve Lukather (guitars & vocals), Simon Phillips (drums), Bobby Kimball (vocals), Greg Phillinganes (keyboards & vocals) and Tony Spinner (guitars & vocals) for the current tour. Witness the stunning chemistry between these exceptional musicians who, after just some weeks together on the road, eased into a sound both tight and inspired. // Four years after the highly acclaimed “Live In Amsterdam” became a benchmark in concert recordings, “Falling In Between Live” transcends yet another boundary. Recorded with state-of-the-art technology and directed by the award winning Blue Leach (Depeche Mode, REM) who has toured with Toto extensively and is instinctively in tune with their music, this full concert DVD delivers brilliant sound and picture quality that brings you up close and personal to experience TOTO’s magical live performance. Get ready for an overwhelming feast for eyes and ears and watch the concert like you’re in the front row… from your own living room! // Accompany TOTO on this mind blowing voyage, which spans the entire spectrum of their illustrious career, with a diversity of musical styles second-to-none. Encounter the new and energetic tunes from “Falling In Between” - including a powerful rendition of “Bottom Of Your Soul” that will send shivers down your spine - as well as exciting, fresh versions of unforgettable classics like “Rosanna” - clad in a groovy jazz intro - “Hold The Line” and “Africa” - with a now hauntingly ingenious ending. Rediscover those rare fan favourites, some of which have not been played live in over 20 years - gems like “Isolation” or compelling songs from “Tambu” and “Kingdom Of Desire” - as they are given new energy, interpreted years later with the same skill, and an even more accomplished sound that never ceases to astonish. // As always with TOTO, expect impromptu solos showcasing stellar talent and flawless interplay, the result of years of camaraderie and a shared love of musical adventure which wows the audience with new chops and chords, transforming each concert into an inimitable event. // “Master Of Ceremony” Steve Lukather leads the band once again, never failing to deliver laugh after laugh with his crazy sense of humour and energetic interaction with the audience. // Experience the live whirlwind that is TOTO, transcending all musical boundaries, as they hypnotise the audience and take all present on an unforgettable musical journey through space and time from which you wish you’d never have to return. // Embark once again with TOTO as they continue to set new standards in live music with “Falling In Between Live.””

“Toto rock harder than ever before in this stunning live performance filmed in front of a wildly enthusiastic sell out crowd at Le Zenith in Paris on the Falling In Between tour. The show combines rarely heard tracks, album favourites, great solos and classic hits including “Hold The Line”, “Rosanna”, “Africa”, “I’ll Supply The Love” and many more.”.
