Topic: Human Orchestra

I considered putting this in the "progressive" thread but I didn't think it quite fit.

No instruments required.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

I never really cared for Toto; except for this song. I think it's the harmonies. They just reach out and touch something deep inside me.

Re: Human Orchestra

When I think of Toto I think of Judy Garland's dog in 'Over The Rainbow' lol

Like you, this is the only song that I like from Toto.

Re: Human Orchestra

Wow! This is absolutely super! I got chills when they did the thunder claps by jumping in sequence on their stage ... very clever indeed. And I really love that the guy doing the percussion is also "air drumming" with his hands.

Sorry Roger, I disagree. This about the only song from Toto I don't like very much. But this version has changed my mind, hate to admit it but it is brilliant, loved every second of it rain, thunder,drums, bass, harmonies the lot. I will be returning to this and the other songs they've done.

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

At first I thought there was a drum machine. As the song progressed I realized it was the "air drummer".

Re: Human Orchestra

Awesome!  I'm going to listen to the "official" playlist for my work music today.  THANKS!  Great find!!

Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.
