I went to a clinic of his in Hollywood in 1990. I love this guy. It seems like the best musicians are very humble

I love this man! Such a polite, humble, skilled musician! He deserve MUCH more attention.

A fantastic drummer and a nice humble person. I could listen for hours

amazing guy with an amazing career

Too funny!! I can relate! Guess it happens at all levels, even to incredible musicians like Simon. Great information, happy to learn it's not just the bands I've jammed with.

Great short story of professionalism!

I GREW up listening to Simon with The Who... so, it took me a hot minute to retune my ear to Si with Toto. It's a great thing he stepped in for these guys when they needed him. I can't think of a better player for that time in their history. And, he and I share a birthday month! 😂 he is world class!

That’s actual playing….pros doing music as it should be..on the fly! Thank you for making my point Simon! What a legend!

That’s a great stand up by a legendary musician. Much appreciated.

great moment!

Great story.

I could listen to this guy all day telling stories like this.

Toto are coming here to Chile this year, I wish Simon was with them!

He had me at ‘Give Blood’ like at least 40 years ago!!! Also ‘Throwaway’ (Jagger)….there’s just something about that cut! I think it’s the confidence in his approach. Some drummers just ALWAYS PUT THINGS IN THE PLACES THEY SHOULD BE!

What a LEGEND.

seems like such a nice, down to earth guy

Desperately want that shirt

Bello/Magnifico 😱😱😱😱😱😱🎉🧨😯

Meanwhile, the audience: Wow, these guys prepared a new ending for this tour. 😅

I almost look forward to a limited version of a trainwreck with ‘big’ players. ‘On their toes’ is the way to fun.

OMG, that Tama Star kit.

Never heard that he is so funny! 😅

Fun story 😊

Good times.

What I would give to see some footage of this ending!

love the monty python t-shirt

❤❤❤❤

Last gig I ever played was with a guy who played keyboard for Dylan in the 60s. We were mostly playing blues, and we got to the last song, and we must have played spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to end the song, cause the guy we were playing for just never looked up.

SiPhi is a genius and funny as hell.

I know that "problem" of finding no ending very very good... It feels like "panic" but then somehow you handle it and come back to the form or ending.. Muhahaha... Lot of fun!

or not

Been there! Minus the talent though.

I was never sure what simon phillips thought when he played africa and hold the line until I saw this video... Do you know what? I am happy that he answered it, Very, but his speech with whatever was going on in one of Toto's concerts was kinda hilarious.

Ahhh yes the black knight😂

😄

Alex, Geddy, Simon?

I'll hold my breath

Of course the keyboardist was the one who knew the ending…

So it’s not just me and my band? One gig we were playing a new song and the singer was going to sing the final line 8 times then end. Perfect. Except at this gig he sang the line 8 times, but in double time. So 8 lines in half the time. I stopped after the 8 lines. The rest of the band didn’t. So I hurriedly lurched back into the beat. Except the band heard me stop, so they stopped. Just as I started back. Some of the audience started laughing. What a ridiculous train wreck. 🤷🏻

Guys, it's easy, You follow the drummer 👍🏻

This could be so much better to watch, if only the man HAD LESS INTENSE LIGHTING POINTING ON HIM!!!

I'd choose a loose, spontaneous ending from those guys over some scripted and predictable ending by anyone else,

He is "special''...js

There was obviously a very annoying spotlight on him.
