Toto’s “25th Anniversary Live in Amsterdam“ is a musical celebration of the band’s career. It was shot live at the Heineken Arena, in Amsterdam on February 17th, 2003.
Toto may be past its prime as a multi-platinum recording band, but Live in Amsterdam offers abundant proof that their performances are as electrifying as ever. Recorded in Amsterdam’s Heineken Music Hall on February 17, 2003, near the end of Toto’s 25th-anniversary world tour, this dynamic concert serves as a cheerful reminder that Toto has been alive and well and recording steadily since 1978. The band’s 2002 release Through the Looking Glass was an album of covers, two of which are welcomed here: “While My Guitar Gently Weeps“ is a prime showcase for guitarist Steve Lukather, and “Bodhisattva“ is a tight, meticulous tribute to Toto’s original drummer, the late Jeff Porcaro, and his classic sessions with Steely Dan. The mega-hits “Africa,“ “Rosanna,“ and “Hold the Line“ are perfectly executed, and in a band full of talented singers, lead vocalist Bobby Kimball sounds better than ever. Two impressive medleys show the band in full gear as a comfortable unit of seasoned professionals, highlighted by impeccable work from keyboardist David Paich, bassist Mike Porcaro, and ace drummer Simon Phillips.

Lyrics:
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She’s coming in twelve-thirty flight
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
“Hurry, boy, it’s waiting there for you“
It’s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There’s nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what’s right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what’s deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I’ve become
It’s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There’s nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
“Hurry, boy, she’s waiting there for you“
It’s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There’s nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
