Ringo Starr came to Hollywood, Florida’s Hard Rock Live on Saturday, September 17th, and he brought a few of his friends with him. While the lineup of the supergroup is always changing and evolving, last night’s version featured Edgar Winter, Toto’s Steve Lukather and Warren Ham, Gregg Bissonette, Colin Hay from Men At Work, and the Average White Band’s Hamish Stuart. This truly was an “All Starr Band”.

The ever youthful Ringo Starr took center stage at 8:30 and proceeded to give the sellout crowd everything that they could have asked for, proving that at 82 he still has it both behind the kit and at the mic and reinforcing that while his bandmates are wonderful he is still the star of the show.

The setlist kicked off with a cover of Carl Perkins’“Matchbox” and just took off from there. There were of course Beatles tracks, Ringo solo tracks and tracks from each of the band members original bands. For “Free Ride”,Starr teamed up with Greg Bissonette for dueling drummers. At one point during “Pick Up The Pieces”, there were dueling saxophones as Warren Ham and Edgar Winter both showed off their chops on the instrument.

The evening was a rollicking success as fans danced and sang their way out of Hard Rock Live into a warm Florida night. This was an unforgettable evening for everyone.
