Luke is making a mistake using the TOTO brand to promote subpar solo stuff like this. This is the most embarrassing video I've seen since Neal's Resonate video with his wife. A friend of mine said it popped up on his FB feed as TOTO. I'm sure alot of casual fans are making the same mistake.

Good videos cost money, even if they don't have a lot of cgi or things. This, Resonate, and Separate Ways are great examples. At least with SW you had a really great song coming from a huge band at the time to support the crap video. Here, meh...

I feel bands like Toto and Journey need to be extra protective of their legacy at this stage of the game. Videos like this do them no favors. TOTO's new lineup is basically comprised of talented upstarts. At least Journey brought back Randy Jackson and hired a legend like Narada.

The Four Seasons, whose most popular member was/is Frankie Valli have had more than 40 different members over the years. Ironically, Warren Ham was one of those members.

TOTO has always been a collective of really talented session players. I don't think 4 Seasons is an accurate comparison.

Perhaps not, it's just interesting to me that the number of people and wholesale changes in line up with Toto makes it seem a little like one or two key franchise players (Luke and Paich) with a lot of other people coming in and out, and back in, over the years.

Not accurate. For the vast majority of time, the band has had a Porcaro always up there.
