TOTO Headline Dates

[The_Noble_Cause]

TOTO has announced some Journey-less solo dates in 2024. 1-2 tracks off Luke's Bridges would be great to hear.

Heard a couple new interviews by Luke recently where in one, he may have let slip Shannon coming back to the touring band for 2024.

And in another, he basically said some od faces will be coming back to the band and that the young cats have their own band etc....and stopping himself saying he's said too much

Interesting. Thanks. For a second there, I misread that as Shem (instead of Shannon). Lol - we know that ain't happening!

Maybe he's patched things up with Steve Porcaro? Would love to have Steve P returning to the fold.

Steve has retired from touring.

Was there some falling out between Toto and Shem?

Was there some falling out between Toto and Shem?

Luke is off social media these days, but, when he was, he didn't hold back regarding Shem. One fiery online exchange started when Shem commented that there is no TOTO without Paich (or something like that). Shem said he was misunderstood and it wasn't a jab at the new TOTO lineup / Dogs of Oz. Even if true, the damage was done. Luke fired back saying (paraphrasing): steroids have gotten to his brain / Shem was never an official member / and Shem lived up to his reputation of bands only wanting to work him once and then regretting it.

I don't want to dig up the past. Look at Bobby and Luke now. People change, circumstances chance, life teaches you to forgive and forget etc.

Indeed. Not helped by the fact Shem is a hard right conservative.
