I know that they will release a Live-dvd from their tour 2012.

And another thing. What's their top 3 ballads? Would be interesting to read your opinions about that.

1: Africa
2: Anna
3: Lea

And by the way, i think that Mushanga is very good, what's your opinion about Mushanga that's on the album "The seventh one"?
I've seen them live 3 times, in 1988, 1990 and 2007 and they were good on all occasions and very professional. The best live album is Live in Amsterdam and recommended, it should be fairly easy to get hold of.

Ballads:
1. I Won't Hold You Back
2. 99
3. Africa

* I actually think "Angela" is the best ballad, but is it really a ballad with its heavy guitar and drum section so probably no, that's why I left it out.

Mushanga is a great song and Joseph Williams was a great vocalist in the Toto tradition, I wasn't too keen on him as a writer though or with some of the ideas he brought to the band. "Home of the Brave" is the song though that rules on that album, Steve Lukather's guitar solo's on that song are legendary.
