A live version from Africa recorded at the Night of the Proms 2003 is included on an album of this event.

The idea of the song came from David Paich, playing on the piano.

David Paich about Africa:

"At the beginning of the 80's I watched a late night documentary on TV about all the terrible death and suffering of people in Africa. It both movedand appealed me and the pictures just wouldn't leave my head. I tried to imagine how I'd feel about if I was there and what I'd do".

Jeff Porcaro about Africa.

"A white boy is trying to write a song on Africa, but since he'd never been there. he can only tell what he's seen on TV or remembers in the past. Geographically it doesn't make sence ... the Kilimanjaro isn't near the river named in the song".

Although Africa is one of TOTO's biggest hits ever, it almost didn't get it to the album. TOTO had worked with the song for a very long time and was so tired on it that they almost skipped the song when compiling the album.

Liner notes to the song on TOTO XX (1977 - 1997).

"The reason why cuts 11, 12 and 13 are included with this other material is that we wanted to offer something special from our recent trip to South Africa. This was the first time we had played there so we decided to create something new of something old. Thus we added "Baba Mnumzane" to the fornt of "Africa" as an intro with a traditional 7-piece South African choir. To augment that Simon recruited 5 local percussionists and rehearsed the day of the show, some newly written parts for them to play. At this point there were 18 musicians on stage bringing them and us together for a memorable event that we felt we should include here".

The idea of this song originally came from Mark T. Williams. He explains: "I wrote the progression and groove one night in the summer of 1987. It wasn't really any kind of inspired or conscious effort, it just came out. My brother Joseph came home from a sesion for 'The Seventh One' and told me he thought the song would be something good for the record. That was funny to me because the original working title on the sequencer disk was 'Something Good'. He took a cassette to the studio the next day and played it for Jeffrey Porcaro, who loved it and said: 'We've got to have this thing'. I then finished the music with Joseph. David Paich and Joseph wrote most of the lyrics".

Jeff was in Steeley and I played on two of their albums. I saw Luke play it in high school with Landau and Steve P. They nailed it just like Denny and Skunk. We used a few subsitutions on the ending chords. Donald and Walter will probably give it a 6. (Toto99.com, 2002).

Steve Lukather about Bodhisattva:

"When we were in high school, we were basically a Steely Dan tribute band. It was me and Landau on guitar, Carlos Vega on drums, Steve Porcaro on keyboards. Jeff Porcaro was the drummer in Steely Dan at the time and so we were obsessed With learning the whole of the Katy lied album before it came out, and Bodhisattva ended up opening our set. It's also a bit of a tribute to Jeff as well - it's 10 years since he died. Steely were really important to us as kids. They were what we wanted to be like. They were very melodic and they had some great guitar solos. We reharmonised some of the chords so it's not an exact copy, but it's enough of a nod to Jeff Baxter and Denny Dias... those guys are my friends." (Steve Lukather, Guitarist - March 2003)

Being a true Elton disciple David first performed this at his highschool graduation (all boys Catholic prep). His mates loved it but he got suspended for 3 days for the subversive lyrics. What a treat it was to have Davey Johnstone and Nigel Olsson sing with Luke on the b.gs. Bobby chose this song and really does justice to it (boy it'shard to improve on any of these damn tunes!) (Toto99.com, 2002)

Steve Lukather about Burn Down The Mission:

"This wasn 't on our list, but Kimball sat down at the piano one day and started doing it. And it was amazing. We all went, We've gotta cut that now! And we did and it was a blast. That one pays more of a nod to the original than a lot of the other songs. But we've all worked with Elton - I've done four or five albums with him - and we had Davey Johnstone and Nigel Ollson on backing vocals." (Steve Lukather, Guitarist - March 2003)

Actually, this song was in my wife's record collection. She's got a really eclectic collection and I said to her that I'd love to do a Bob Marley track and she said, What about Could you be loved? So we went in and did it and then Paich said he'd like to stick a rap section in there. Now, I just can't relate to rap music. Okay, it's a great groove and all that, but I can't get into it. Anyway, he got this Jamaican guy, Tippa Irie, to come in and do this rap while I was away with Simon in our Mahavishnu band. It's kinda stepping over the edge for us but, who knows, we might even get a couple of plays on the radio because of it. In fact, if this song didn't have our name on it, it would probably already be a hit!" (Steve Lukather, Guitarist - March 2003)

"Miles... hmm, Steve Porcaro was with Miles at Jeff's home studio when Miles cut Human nature and Miles dug our vibe and Paich and I had written Don't stop me now and we played it for Miles and he dug it and he said he would do it for us ... for FREE. Jeff and him traded personal art work as the price. Really cool stuff. Miles heard Fahrenheit when it was done and called me on the phone and asked me to join his band... We were leaving on that tour and I had to say no. I was honored and would have loved to have done it, I told him to call Robben Ford. He did, the rest is history." (stevelukather.net).

A live version from Hold The Line recorded at the Night of the Proms 2003 is included on an album of this event.

Jeff Porcaro about Hold The Line:

"'Hold the line' was a perfect example of what people will describe as your heavy metal cord guitar licks, your great triplet A-notes on the piano, your slide-hot-fun-in-the-summertime groove, all mishmashed together with a boy from New Orleans singing... and it really crossed over a lot of lines".

David Paich about Hold The Line:

"It started out with the piano riff that is in the intro. I started playing this riff and I just couldn't stop playing it. I played it for days, and I started singing, "Hold the line, love isn't always on time." It was a phrase that just came into my head. . . . it was a blessing. (The words) came to me in the night, and then I went to the verse. I wrote it in 2 hours. Sometimes songs come quickly like that, and sometimes I spend 2 years trying to finish a song".

Jeff Porcaro about Hold The Line (2):

"That was me trying to play like Sly Stone's original drummer, Greg Errico, who played drums on "Hot Fun In The Summertime." The hi-hat is doing triplets, the snare drum is playing 2 and 4 backbeats, and the bass drum is on 1 and the & of 2. That 8th note on the second beat is an 8th-note triplet feel, pushed. When we did the tune, I said, "Gee, this is going to be a heavy four-on-the-floor rocker, but we want a Sly groove." The triplet groove of the tune was David's writing. It was taking the Sly groove and meshing it with a harder rock caveman approach". (Modern Drummer 1988).

Steve Lukather about Hold The Line:

"I flipped the first time I heard myself on the radio. My mom called me up and said, "Turn on KLOS." It was the song "Hold the Line," and I started running around the house in my underwear, screaming, "I'm on the radio!" My wife was cracking up. It was just a thrill". (Guitar Player magazine, April 1984).

Bobby Kimball about Hold The Line:

"I was asleep, I had my alarm clock set for noon because we were gonna do something in the studio, some promo and when the alarm came on there was the radio and "Hold The Line" was playing. And my room was totally black and I was looking for the telephone and I called Paich and I heard him scream, he was living over there with his girlfriend and he was screaming around and falling over trying to get to the radio". (TOTO99, 2002).

Steve Lukather about Hold The Line (2):

"I remember one of you guys called me. I actually sat there in my first house by myself a little tear in my eye "Wow, we're on the radio in LA, man", it was a great feeling". (TOTO99, 2002).

CD maxi-single - CMC 5514462 - Could You Be Loved / House Of The Rising Sun / Could You Be Loved (instrumental version) (2002).

This traditional classic has been played by each of us since we were (oh well!) We jammed on it at sound check last time we played in Puerto Rico. We decided to keep the melody and came up with an original arrangement. Bobby and Luke sure shine on this baby. (Toto99.com, 2002)

Steve Lukather about House Of The Rising Sun:"This was one of the very first songs I ever played when I was in a band at nine years old, talk about returning to the beginning. Bobby Kimball is from New Orleans and the first time we jammed it was when we were doing a show down there. Paich, just for a joke really, started playing it in the soundcheck and Kimball started singing. Now that wasn't the arrangement that ended up on the record, but it gave us the idea to do the song. I said, Why don't we take the Dave Gilmour approach to it? So then we changed the chords around and our version came out sounding a little bit psychedelic. Dave Gilmour is one of those few guitarists whose name typifies an actual style of playing. I've copped a lot of stuff off Dave and he's a friend." (Guitarist - March 2003).

Steve Lukather about It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry:

"This was a throwaway blues track to try to get Paich singing, because he doesn 't like singing on the records. So we said, Dave, pick a song and sing it. And he chose this. We don't usually do blues tunes on our albums, but Dave put on this big top hat and just sat there and sang it. It allowed me to get the Dobro out and do stuff I don't normally do. We did it more or less live and it's a kind of bonus track." (Steve Lukather, Guitarist - March 2003)

Together with Kingdom Of Desire is Kick Down The Walls the only song from TOTO in which no bandmember has participated in the songwriting.

It was first Jeff Porcaro who wanted TOTO to record this song, but when it was finished he didn't like the result. That's the reason why the other bandmembers has tried to remove it before the release of the album Kingdom Of Desire after Jeff's death. Unfortunately something went wrong and the song is included in some of the versions of the album.

From the album Kingdom Of Desire are 3 different versions:

1. without Kick Down The Walls.

2. with Kick Down The Walls.

3. with Kick Down The Walls & Little Wing (live in Paris in October 1990).

Steve Lukather about Kick Down The Walls and working together Danny Kortchmar writing and producing the song:

"I've known Danny for a long time. He always said to me "why are you doing something that you don't want to do?". One day, Jeff came to the rest of the band saying "this is a song we must do!" and he made us listen to "kick down the walls". The original version was more rough, but we made it into our own version. The song is interesting in the sense that it was written about the streets of L.A., and it was written even before the L.A. riot. My house is on the hill, so I remember "overseeing" the fire and the riot from high above....."

"for this song, Danny himself came to us and said he wanted to produce it, so we had him produce the song. That's why it sounds different from the rest of the album. For me, it's a song that I like the least...but that's a secret to danny (laughs)".

David Paich about Lea:

"Steve Porcaro wrote this song about someone's daughter and the little girl's name is Lea".

Steve Porcaro about Lea:

""When Joseph left the band, it expecially hurt me because I'd finally found a guy who could sing my songs. Part of the reason I don't think I had so many songs on Toto records is because I always felt like I had to sing my songs. Lukather was too Lukather and Paich was Paich, and the lead singer had too many chops.
But with Joseph, I had a guy who could sing "Lea!" I had done a vocal on "Lea" and it was excruciating, painful! I was in the studio and it was a nightmare. But I finally did it, and we were gonna put it on the record. Then Joseph came in the band and I had him listen to the way I did the song and I said, "Okay now, you try it." He went in there and he nailed it for me. I was so thankful that we finally had a lead singer who could sing my songs".

Lion is the last song in which Bobby Kimball has participated in the songwriting before he left TOTO.

When you listen to Lion you can hear a weird sound, just before the second verse begins at 1:20. There are many explainations for this weird sound: is it a backward message ("huntress" or "satan") or just a simple sound effect. When Fergie Frederiksen was asked about this he denied that the song had a backward message in it.

Lion is also included on the compilation album A Rock and Roll Band (July 1990).

Of course what would the TOTO Looking Glass reflect? Stevie Wonder (very large!) It was a sizeable challenge to attempt but we cut it early in the game. Luke's nin-like intro gave it the urgency it deserved. We recruited Ellis Hall for some step outs. This is dedicated to the FDNY and all New York." (Toto99.com, 2002)

Steve Lukather about Living For The City:

"I used to live, eat and sleep Stevie Wonder. He's played live with us too! We were playing at the Budokan in Japan and I was playing this solo and all of a sudden the crowd goes apeshit and I'm thinking, Wow man, I'm tearing this place up! Then I look behind me and there's Stevie, who's just walked on. He was amazing. I listen to all his stuff, but especially Innervisions and Talking book. For our tribute to Stevie we decided to do it a bit differently, by featuring the guitar instead of the Fender Rhodes. We actually called him and asked if he'd like to play on it, but unfortunately he was out of town." (Steve Lukather, Guitarist - March 2003)

Liner notes to the song on TOTO XX 1977 - 1997.

"The next two songs (Miss Sun & Love Is A Man's World) here are our original demos to get our record deal. The band wasn't even really a band yet. These were recorded over a wild weekend at Davlen in the Valley, 1977, with all our friends stopping by to party and dig what we were doing. Paich had convinced himself that he "was" Al Green ... He was green all right. This was made prior to the Boz Scaggs hit version which we also played on, but it never captured the rawness and honesty of this first demo, we think?"

"See previous notes, but .... gee isnt this a prophetic title, HAHA. The Atlantic/Stax feel to this finger snapping hand clapping R 'n B groove was conceived at a time when Disco was king, to our dismay. So we paid tribute to it at the end with Dave's glorious cry to the frontier, "It's Disco time". Well we were laughing. Luke passes the audition on this one in spite of the really weird guitar sound".

Luke came up with this classic for us to interpret on this Herbie Hancock pearl. (Si made most of the record) then we added Luke's continually ebbing guitar, Mike's bass, and David actually got a chance to play a solo on accoustic piano. Lenny Castro added that world flavor to it. (How dare we put this on the same CD!) (Toto99.com, 2002)

Steve Lukather about Maiden Voyage / Butterfly:

"That was an idea that Simon and I had because we're the jazz guys in the band. I wanted to do something more musical and Herbie is a buddy of mine - he's jammed with us too. And we decided to put Maiden voyage together with Butterfly. Simon came up with about 75 per cent of the arrangement and I came up with the rest. We overdubbed the other guys and I'm really pleased with the way it came out." (Steve Lukather, Guitarist - March 2003)

Guitar: Steve Lukather.

Percussion: Chris Trujillo.

Recorded & mixed live at the Montruex Jazz Festival, in 1991 by Dirk Schubert (live guy) in the truck????????

This is a fast-paced rock-song, based on an instrumental track "E Minor Shuffle" for a James Newton Howard album (a version of "E minor shuffle" can be found on the "Tribute to Jeff" album by David Garfield and friends).
"On the run" was performed by Toto during their 1991 summer-festival tour in Europe. It was said to be one of the new songs on the then forthcoming album "Kingdom of desire", but for some reason it was not included in the end. In 1998, a live recording of "On the run" was included on TOTO XX.

In a 1998 interview with Toto99, Toto commented on the song: How did you come up with the idea of turning "E Minor Shuffle" into a hard rock song with lyrics?
Steve Lukather: That's what I wanna know!
David: I guess I'm the one to blame for that one. It always has just been a fun riff to play.
Steve Lukather: It was Jeff who really wanted to do that. He said write a verse and a chorus, so we did, and Fee Waybill wrote the words.

But it never ended up on "Kingdom Of Desire"?
Steve Lukather: We tried to cut it, but we just didn't get a take we liked and so we discarded it... it happens sometimes.
David: It's one of those tunes that feels better live for some reason than in the studio.

Liner notes to the song on TOTO XX 1977 - 1997.

"This was to be the last tour we did with Jeff. It was recorded at the Montreux Jazz Festival sponsored by Quincy Jones and Claude Nobbs. We felt that this should be included as a snapshot of this era and an unmistakable shuffle groove from Jeff."

This song was written by David Paich and Joseph Williams. David Paich had first written the chorus, music and words, including the name, "Pamela." Meanwhile, Joseph actually had a girlfriend at the time named "Pamela" and had already written an entire song for her under the same name. The chorus of Joe's song was used in the bridge of the Paich/Williams collaboration, and Joseph wrote new words and melody for the verses as well. Practically all of the Paich/Williams compositions came about in the same way, that is, David had something started and Joseph added to or wrote to finish it off.

Besides several good looking women, the video of this song features the silhouttes of the Toto members pretending to play the horn-section.

Pamela is also included on the compilation albums Past To Present 1977 - 1990, Legend (July 1996), Greatest Hits (December 1996), Best (Hold The Line) (February 2001), Hold The Line (The Very best Of) (2001), The Very Best Of (October 2002), Greatest Hits ... and More (December 2002), Love Songs (January 2003) & The Essential (2004).
