Hold The Line (35th Anniversary Tour) - TOTO

"Hold The Line" is a song by American rock band Toto from their 1978 eponymous debut studio album. Written by the band's keyboardist David Paich, the lead vocals on the song were performed by Bobby Kimball.

"Hold the Line" was released as the band's debut single and lead single from the Toto album on October 2, 1978, by Columbia Records. It became a huge hit for the band, reaching Number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 14 on the UK Singles Chart.

Keyboardist David Paich noted that the song was relatively easy to develop. He began with the piano riff, which would become the song's intro and chorus. After toying with the piano riff one night, he started singing "Hold the line, love isn't always on time", and found the lyric to be a suitable fit. The verses were subsequently finished two hours later.

This awesome performance is from the spectacular live concert of Toto celebrating their 35th Anniversary at the Atlas Arena in Lodz, Poland during their 2013 World Tour.

I'll Be Over You (35th Anniversary Tour) - TOTO

"I'll Be Over You" is a hit single by the American rock band Toto. Released as the lead single from their 1986 album, Fahrenheit, the song reached Number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1986. 

Lead vocals were sung by guitarist Steve Lukather, who co-wrote the song with hit songwriter Randy Goodrum (one of several collaborations between the two). Guest musician Michael McDonald provided the vocal counterpoint on the recording.

"I'll Be Over You" spent two weeks at Number One on the Adult Contemporary chart, Toto's second song to top this chart (following 1983's "I Won't Hold You Back").

A music video (in which guest vocalist Michael McDonald also appears) was shot with the band playing on an apartment rooftop until it rained. The rooftop is on top of the building located at 548 South Spring Street in Los Angeles, California, USA. The video also recreates the image from the front of the album with live actors.
