BTW: I didn't notice it the first time I watched the video but the lead guitarist is playing a Fender Jazzmaster and not a Gibson Les Paul like Steve Lukather did on the original song. You almost can't hear the difference which says a lot for him. 👏👏👏
Jeff Porcaro , Steve Luke and David Paich would all be proud of you. Thankyou for keeping great music alive.

@@steffenfriedle3254 This kid’s version is fantastic and you are being silly. I’d love to hear your version. Steve gadd and dennis chambers would play it slightly different than porcaro did too. It’s just different. One of the all time great grooves/songs/players, and these guys did it justice.
Being 37 and seeing yall play what I grew up listening to. Means we had some kick ass parents. Keep the flow alive yall

I was a pretty good drummer back in the 80's (high school & college) and I couldn't match Porcaro. Looking back I think he's probably one of the most underrated drummers there ever was.

@@SeanOHanlonin no way is Pocaro underrated…wikipedia…"arguably the most highly regarded studio drummer in rock from the mid-'70s to the early '90s" and said that "it is no exaggeration to say that the sound of mainstream pop/rock drumming in the 1980s was, to a large extent, the sound of Jeff Porcaro
never let that drummer go
I’m 71 and it is so cool to see the music of my era represented so well by talented young musicians! Bravo folks!

I'm gonna start by sayin, lma 60 year OLD truck driver from Mississippi and listen to outlaw country and the blues. These talented younguns have just made me listen to (and appreciate)what I have always called "elevator music"! So young and so talented, makes me believe that the music of the past will be carried on at least one more generation. Use your youth wisely, and enjoy life, it passes by faster than you can imagine.

I am one of the proud “Grammy’s”, etc - and for me - it feels like winning a true “Grammy Award” - listening to this incredible talent - seemingly “hatched” in the amazing Fairfield, CT music school system. Thank you to all the parents❣️👏 Thank you to EACH Low Darts band member and to every adjunct band performer contributor! Thank you, Sean, for being the glue on the incredibly intricate drum beats - to Luke on his cool and amazing complicated electric bass runs; to Sebastian on super nimble piano playing fingers; to Jonas, who is off the charts on his innovative, and exciting “rocking” lead guitar; to Sydney - whose voice has become even more golden - even in just a few years; to Kevin - and each and every one of the brass players who make their deliveries SO unique - adding volumes. Thank you, Colman - for all that you have accomplished with the help of your parents and Fairfield music teachers - for the production- recording, piano, vocals, and arrangements over the past 4 years -especially during “lockdown” - and thank you especially for being my grandson. God bless you all and may you keep cranking out these terrific classic rock songs - essential for both the old folks and new folks alike❣️ GKT

They're pretty damn good playing and singing by themselves with recorded accompaniment but I'd like to know if they can sound as good playing as a group. A sterile environment for making music is one thing but music is always meant to be an interactive experience... player with player and musicians and an audience. I'm not impressed. If they can do this all together, at the same time, then maybe they'll have something. Otherwise, this is not impressive at all despite what we're hearing. It sounds very sterile to me.
Superb ❤️…. Special shout out to the drummer 💪💪💪

The band has gone from incredible to off the charts. Colman and Sydney's voices have gotten even stronger. The whole band are now as good as any professional studio musicians which is amazing. Don't forget that Toto were top session musicians when they started. The production quality/video and sound/mixing is as good as any professional studio. I am amazed at the sound mix too. Great horn section as usual including Tristan. Jonas, Sean, Luke and Sebastian make pro playing look easy. I would love to see them live.
