1982

 Turnback-Toto IV hybrid tour and a broken leg

Since Turn Back was a "flop" (not really, it sold the doble compare to Tambu) Toto didn't tour in 1981 and they decided to start working on a new album instead which became Toto IV as you know it became their best selling album ever, it won 6 grammys and peak number 1 in billboard with the song "Africa" and second with "Rosanna" this is probably the most important album of their career because thanks to it the band didn't die and give them the fame that they still hold up to this day.

The tour started shorly after the release of the album, it was the first time they ever tour in europe so this could be consider their first true "worldwide" tour.

It beggan in Japan, to be more precise 7 May 1982 and they stay around 2 weeks in Japan leaving the contry in the 21 of May 1982, after that they tour for 2 months in the US, during that, Bobby Kimball broke his leg on stage and he had to sings in front of a piano for the rest of the tour
