Besides sharing the bill at Northerly Island Sunday night, both Toto and Yes lost their bass players this year. As Steve Lukather mentioned after the band finished playing \u201cHydra\u201d, \u201cWe share a lot more than this stage with Yes and we know how they feel. We lost our bass player Mike Porcaro earlier this year and Yes just recently loss their bass player Chris Squire.\u201d Mike Porcaro retired from Toto in 2007 due to ALS and passed on March 15 of this year.<\/p>\n
Although the band\u2019s tour is supporting their recent release, Toto XIV<\/strong>, they played songs from their entire catalogue. Highlights were \u201cI\u2019ll Supply the Love\u201d, \u201cHydra\u201d and \u201cPamela\u201d. \u201cRunning Out of Time\u201d, \u201cOrphan\u201d and “Great Expectations\u201d were selected from Toto XIV<\/strong>. Joseph Williams dedicated “Great Expectations\u201d to Chris Squire and he said that that song was influenced by the music of Yes. Toto also played their well know hits \u201cHold the Line\u201d and \u201cRosanna\u201d which got the crowd on their feet and singing along to the songs. They closed their set with \u201cAfrica\u201d which had an awesome bongo solo by Lenny Castro.<\/p>\n Toto Setlist:<\/span> I have seen Yes almost a dozen times with as many different lineups, but this was the first Yes show that I have seen without Chris Squire. The band did a fitting tribute to Chris, with his cream colored Rickenbacker in the spotlight while a video montage of his career was shown playing to\u00a0the song \u201cOnward\u201d. Yes also played songs from their entire catalogue as well. They opened the show with \u201cDon’t Kill the Whale\u201d, a single from the album \u201cTormato\u201d and then went into \u201cTempus Fugit\u201d from the album \u201cDrama\u201d. They then played their Yesified (elongated and orchastrated) version of Simon & Garfunkel\u2019s \u201cAmerica\u201d. The band went back to their grand and melodic sound with \u201cGoing for the One\u201d.

\nThe next song that they played, \u201cTime and a Word\u201d was a surprise. This is from their second album of the same name from which songs are\u00a0rarely played. They brought the crowd to their feet with \u201cI\u2019ve Seen All Good People\u201d before going back to the progressive and grandeur sound of \u201cSiberian Khatru\u201d. Another surprise was \u201cOwner of a Lonely Heart\u201d which came from pop rock sound of \u201c90125\u201d album.
