The amount of talent in this whole group is literally almost incomprehensible.

Great taste in covering masterpieces to be mentioned either.
I don't know if I've ever heard such good guitar soloing and interplaying between obvious masters. I'm blown away. This whole band are all incredible.

Both? I mean all of them :)
I don't know how many people realize that this song is *COMPLETELY DRIVEN* by the bass line. . If that fails, the whole song fails. . . BIG TIME!! In this case, it's SPOT-ON! This guy nails it. . .

Not easy to play, plus you need that octave pedal to get the sound. This guy nailed it.
These guys do the best covers. Extremely accomplished musicians.
Spot the weak link.......oh there isn’t one! Absolutely love band geeks!!

Bass player rushing the song … tempo a bit off. But I’m nitpicking lol
One of the most powerful songs of the 80's.
Richie, Dana and I are astounded at the difference between the live feed in comparison to these professionally (by you hahha) mixed version...totally awesome job!!! We love you guys and PLEASE DON'T EVER STOP!!! There is love in what you do and the world needs that!

Dad and son, priceless. Great "cover"
You guys are so fun. Finding you has been like finding a light in a dark time. Hope all of you keep on making music!!!
Castellano family's like Porcaro one, both for origin and because everyone is a fantastic musician. Grandissimi!
I was reluctant to click on this cause I'm really tired of the song... ...but wow, glad I did, absolutely fabulous version!
The chorus responses on the three guitars are too beautiful, thank you for this great moment !! Phil
Best version yet......
Great job all you guys! Looks like so much fun, and super cool to get three family members on stage. Reminds me of when I saw Jobim with his wife, son, daughter and son in law all in his band.
Man, I love the whole live scene. My favorite thing is the fact that bass players seem so very chill, like they're too cool to get into it until things get crazy at the end. LOVE IT
