BluesKeys Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I went to see Toto this week and what an awesome show from talented muso's. David Paich was not there (health reasons) and they had a 26 yr old named Dominique Xavier Taplin on keys. This guy was a badass!!! Seems he has played with Prince as well. Anyone else know this cat?? Jimmy Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

JohnH Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Saw them in Costa Mesa-Xavier nailed it and was awesome!!! Really enjoyed the new bass guy Shem- he brings the great vocals, vibe and energy back that's been missing since Nathan East left. He's the new permanent guy- great move.

nursers Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Yep he's a master - I saw Toto around 6 weeks ago when they toured Australia and he was nothing short of gobsmacking to watch. I didn't have a great vantage point but I'd kill to see how he plays ' Hold The Line' as it sounded 'different' but in a very good way.
