1) The sound quality of the audio in the two videos is very different (as is the overall mix). The Toto video has vastly better sound quality.
2) I always say the tape don't lie, but it also doesn't tell the whole story. Seeing, hearing live music in person is an entirely different experience than hearing a recording or watching a video. Typically, a live show in person is MUCH louder than the home viewing/listening experience. You FEEL the kick, and low frequency rumble your balls - this doesn't happen listening to a recording. It may be that the cover band is a much more enjoyable experience in person - especially if you have not just seen Toto two minutes previously.
3) Nowadays, big shows (perhaps even Toto) commonly use a variety of backing tracks to enhance the performance of the live music. It may be that the difference in the two video performances has to do with the use of backing tracks.
