The former Beatles drummer led his merry band of musical misfits through an eclectic setlist that spanned decades of hits from various band members' careers.
From Toto's "Africa" to Santana's "Black Magic Woman," the audience was taken on a whirlwind tour of rock 'n' roll history. Starr, ever the affable frontman, kept the crowd entertained with his charming stage presence and quick wit. His voice may not be what it once was, but the sheer joy he exuded while playing hits like "Yellow Submarine" was infectious.
The All Starr Band, comprised of veteran musicians like Steve Lukather and Greg Rolie, impressed with their technical prowess and undeniable chemistry. Lukather's guitar solos were a highlight, adding a touch of virtuosity to the otherwise feel-good atmosphere. While some may argue that Starr's solo material pales in comparison to his Beatles days, there's no denying the enduring appeal of his live shows.
The Greek Theater was alive with energy and nostalgia, as fans young and old came together to celebrate the music of one of rock's most beloved icons. Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band may not be breaking new ground, but they sure know how to put on a damn good show.
