Created in 1977, the legendary group broke up in 2008 after twelve studio albums. This year, the musicians released their first studio album in 9 years, titled Toto XIV. However, the group had already resumed touring for a few years. The albums Toto and Toto IV, and the single Rosanna won six Grammy Awards. In 1982, the group’s flagship year, Rosanna came second in the US charts and Africa even took first place. Their hits continue to air regularly on the radio and are still popular with the public. Guitarist and singer Steve Lukather is the only Toto member present since the band's inception. He is surrounded by 13 permanent musicians and 31 others recruited specifically for the tours. During the 2015 edition of Baloise, Toto, at his best, performed classics such as Hold The Line, Rosanna or Africa, but also extracts from his new album.

If you're not one of the lucky fans who applauded the long-awaited pairing of Larry Carlton and Steve Lukather - Larry, who was named guitarist of the year so often that the title of player emeritus was created for him alone, and Steve (formerly of Toto), a flamboyant guitar hero in his own right - this DVD will blow away your reticence. The 2001 get-together of these two masters at their creative peak was an unforgettable experience fuelled by mutual love and respect, freedom of inspiration and the sheer pleasure of playing. Recording Date: July, 2001.
