Anyone that knows me realizes that I am a big Toto fan. Yet I had never had a chance to see them live. So, when I discovered they were touring in St. Louis, I called my pal, James, to see if he would like to join me. He had just seen them in Paris but couldn’t convince the family to do the whole back stage VIP experience. Well, it didn’t take much to convince him to join me for a bucket list trip including the whole backstage VIP thing.
Meeting the band back stage
Autographs from the band on original CD’s. Wish I’d brought my LP’s.
Bucket List – Checked! These guys are shorter than I imagined. They sure can make great music, though.
James, how did you hurt your self again?
We’re here!
Checking out the stage pre show.
Good seats but can’t quite get see the whole thing.
Missing Bobby Kimbal but Joey sang his butt off.
View from the back of the room gives you an idea how small the venue was. It was like having a private show.
Yeah. We moved to the other side of the stage to get a better view.
Steve Porcaro was moving and grooving all night. He really gets into it.
Lukather and Paich jamming.

Favorite shot of the night. Yes, from in front of the front row.
Had to get a better picture of Simon Phillips. Go Simon!
