There was a great line-up and Ringo was terrific. The concert was spoiled by people standing ... non-stop. We were warned but Fraze needs to institute a NO STAND policy. They are careful to point out that lawn chairs and umbrellas and large bags were not permitted. Likewise standing ruins the experience for everyone behind them and it needs to be a hard and fast rule. That's not to say people can't get up to use the bathroom or to get something to eat. But no standing through the entire concert. Security should throw them out.
Look through the included pictures and you'll see Ringo is barely visible. The videos give an even better idea of how our view was constantly blocked.
Besides Ringo, performers included Colin Hay (Men at Work), Graham Gouldman (10cc), Steve Lukather (Toto), Gregg Rolie (Santana, Journey), Warren Ham (The Ham Brothers, Kansas, Toto), and Gregg Bissonette (ELO, Santana).
The set list encompassed 24 songs. Notable Ringo songs were: Matchbox, It Don't Come Easy, What Goes On, Boys, Don't Pass Me By, Yellow Submarine, You're Sixteen, I Wanna Be Your Man, Photograph, Act Naturally and With a Little Help From My Friends).
Hits by other band members included: Rosanna, I'm Not in Love, Black Magic Woman, The Things We Do For Love and Who Can It Be Now?
Ringo's All Starr Band ended with a reprise of John Lennon's Give Peace a Chance.
These photographs aren't great but they give a good idea of our poor viewing experience. Enjoy (as much as possible) ...
