God damn. Whoever was the audio engineer on this show did a spectacular job. With all these instruments on stage, you can hear each one crystal clear.

The Cleveland Agora Ballroom was the premier venue for new acts breaking onto the scene. Toto, Foreigner, Southside Johnny, and Bruce Springsteen are just a few. The manager of the club was a music fixture in Cleveland, a fine drummer and lead singer for groups like Rainbow Canyon and Charade. They even wrote a few songs picked up by Sly and the Family Stone. And as you can tell, the club was set up with great acoustics. What I can't fathom is how it came to be broadcast in Japan. I was there for both concerts that night, 2/2/79, and Toto absolutely blew everyone away.

I simply have forgotten how good they were and sounded. Kimball at his height sounds amazing, what a singer. Paich plays and sings unbelievably well. Jeff Porcaro the best drummer of them all. Lukather is playing like there is no tomorrow, one of the best guitar players of all time. Steve Porcaro is great too. David Hungates bass out of this world. Tom Kelly on rhythm guitar and amazing backing vocals is simply outstanding. Lenney Castro on perc and backing Vocals is unbelievable. What a stellar line up.

My brothers and I were there. February 2, 1979. Stood outside in line for 2 hours in 20 degree cold. The first Toto tour in support of the release of their first album. There were two show that night, and we were astonished at both for their brightness and tightness. Jeff was something to behold. RIP.
