Quite a feat after about 12 full studio albums plus about two albums worth of b-sides and extras (i.e. XX, Past to Present, though the latter is not represented here). Nice selection from the new album as well - very very happy that they do Burn, Running Out of Time and Great Expectations. I had sort of hoped (?) them to squeeze the bass/percussion break of Can You Hear What I'm Saying into the middle of Great Expectations (there is a quite similar part in there) as a tip of the hat to Mike Porcaro.
There will always be personal preferences etc. but I am happy they gave Home of the Brave this time around, and also glad to see Hold the Line tucked into the middle of the set. I had hoped for a Steve Porcaro lead vocal double of Takin' it Back (we all saw that one coming didn't we?) and The Little Things as well. By the way, the performance of Takin' it Back means that Toto has now been performed live in its entirety, which I believe is a Toto second (live performances of It's a Feeling completed Toto IV, with We Made It being performed a few times on the Tambu tour). Isolation and Fahrenheit comes close to having been performed live in their entirety as well, but Can't Stand it Any Longer has never been played live, while Holyanna off of Isolation has only been performed once, in 1996 as a very short improvised version.
There are a few songs here that haven't been performed live for quite some time. Without Your Love was last performed live in 1990 I believe, while Stranger in Town haven't had an airing since the October/November 1986 tour of Japan and Hawaii. Never Enough has been rested since at least 1993, though I seem to remember Lukather doing it live on a solo tour at some point (2008?).
All in all a very good setlist - but you wouldn't expect anything less from Toto would you?

Sounds like they do - along with Can You Hear What I'm Saying into Great Expectations.

I remember seeing that error on Toto's website years ago when they used to have a setlist section and it accidentally said it was performed in 1995. According to Benno's old Toto website (which has a VERY extensive setlist section plus tons of informations on alot of live bootlegs) it was never performed on the Tambu tour.
It's a shame, I have no idea why it's never been performed. It was MADE for live performances, such an epic song.
PLEASE prove me wrong though. If you have a live performance of this song, I would love to hear it. I've wanted this track performed live for years.

Did part of my honeymoon in your beautiful city in August 2013. Really wish Toto would've played there then!
