 Love isn't always on time! Sep 07, 2009
Very cool concert from Toto, without interuption! dts sound is great, funny tour documentary footage too!
 audio on this disc is NOT good; no outstanding performances Aug 01, 2009
I have to take exception to what many have written; I think the audio on this disc is terrible! Sure it's not as horrific as that Sting Live dvd (arguably the worst to date) but it is far from acceptable for this "musician's band". The drum production in particular is quite poor.
For the record, am a fan of the band (overall), am an audio professional, own a recording studio, and reviewed this HD dvd via an excellent 7.1 tuned home theater.
I think that many Toto fans will be expecting both stellar performances and post production, and I can assure you that you will find neither on this disc.
I can however, strongly recommend the newer disc, Falling In Between. Not out on Blu-Ray yet (it's rumored later this year or early next) the dvd blows away what you will find on the Amsterdam HD or Blu-Ray.
Trust me on this one audiophiles; skip Amsterdam and go right to Falling In Between. the audio is pristine and the performances are much better too.
 Toto still rocks Jul 14, 2009
four or five tracks from this dvd concert at absolutely the best. great to see that TOTO still rocks at 25 years.
This is the tour I so very much regret missing. May 15, 2009
My friends laugh at me, but I seriously feel a profound sense of regret over never having seen Toto live. And this was the tour I really should not have missed -- no question this is the best line-up the band had since Jeff Porcaro's death in 1992. Don't be put off by the fact that several great songs are played as part of medleys: it works fine, it allows them to work in some interesting instrumental segments, and the transitions in several cases are terrific. Almost all your favorites will be here, and they also play several older tracks that did not appear on "Past to Present," including "Girl Goodbye," "Gift With a Golden Gun," "Waiting for Your Love," and "Afraid of Love," that are great tunes. Not everything is perfect, of course: David Paich practically talks his way through the verses in "Africa," and Steve Lukather's voice has roughened considerably. It's great to have Bobby Kimball here though. His voice is a little less sure than it was in 1982 -- occasionally he sounds a little off-pitch, and there's some noticeable strain -- but the voice actually has more character. He's more of a blue-eyed soul singer than just a light-voiced late 70's singer. Steve Lukather's guitar playing is another highlight -- he looks as if he has complete command. Having listened to this several times now, though, I have to say the most impressive contribution may be Mike Porcaro's on bass. "I Won't Hold You Back" I think is probably the best track on the disc, really nicely updated with a much different rhythmic feel, and it's largely because of Mike's bass line, which has this sweet melodic contour at the same that it punctuates the vocal line and serves as the underpinning for the harmony. I just took a look at a clip from the more recent DVD, "Falling in Between Live," and my first thought was "Who is that on bass?" No Mike, and that's a bummer. So this is the one to get. DVD production values are only so-so, I could care less about the extras, and the tunes taken from their album of covers released just before the tour aren't that interesting after the first listen. But it doesn't matter. This is the best version of the band we'll ever see in a concert video, and having missed them, I couldn't be happier to have this. Toto forever!
I'm hooked Apr 29, 2009
I just got my 7.1 surround sound and this is my first concert blue ray but not my last.To see this on my big hd tv and hear it in stereo is to be in heaven.I never got to see them live but i can anytime i want now.
