@TicketTalks Thursday, August 25, 2016 7 By B.J. Lisko Repository staff writer MUSIC rying to sum- marize the nearly T 40-year career of Toto is no easy task. First, the short version.

The band that wrote hits like “Africa,” “,” “Rosanna,” “Make Believe,” “I’ll Be Over You” “Straight for the Heart,” “” and “I Won’t Hold You Back,” among others, rose to prominence in the late ’70s and early ’80s, and despite numerous incarnations has steadily released albums and toured nearly non-stop for the better part of four decades. As the band approaches its 40th anniversary, it's keeping busy with live dates that include an Aug. 31 show at the Hard Rock Rocksino in Northfield.

LIVE MUSIC WHO: Toto WHEN: 7:30 p.m., Aug. 31 WHERE: Hard Rock Rocksino, 10777 Northfi eld Road, Northfi eld TICKETS: $47.50 to $65 at ticketmaster.com MORE INFO: totooffi cial.com

The longer version is far more complicated and is easily one of the craziest and most compli- cated rock tales ever told. Some highlights: ■ Toto’s most successful era begins in 1982 with the release of “Toto IV.” The album, which “” called the epitome of bland, yields three Top 10 singles, seven Grammy Awards and gives Toto global recognition. ■ In 1983, lead singer is fired following a drug bust, kicking off the first of many lineup shifts. After one album with singer Fergie Frederiksen, Toto ditches its second frontman. This time, the group hires Joseph Wil- liams, son of famous film composer John Williams and 1950s singer/actress Barbara Ruick. ■ Inside the group, there’s PUBLICITY PHOTO a power struggle.
