INHD is currently showing a concert of Toto in Amersterdam 2003. 
Toto's music never really moved me, though I was always fond of 99, 
Roseanna, and Africa. Live, the arrangements are a little too 
elaborate for my taste, but the huge audience didn't have a problem 
with them. And the musicianship is impressive. Philips is filling the 
chair of the late great Jeff Porcaro, one of the busiest and best 
session drummers dating from the 1970s until his untimely death. His 
kit is double-bass huge (no electronics in sight), and he shows both 
finesse and power in playing Toto's ornate arena-friendly songs (I 
wish that he'd been elevated a little more in the mix). This is the 
first time that I'd seen Philips in action--it's about time, too, 
since I've used a lot of his samples in my ddrum4 module. Anybody 
seen the concert? It has the added benefit of a surround track and 
high definition video.
