Saturday Sounds - Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band - 2024/09/22 - Fallsview Casino, Niagara Falls, ON

This week's musical treat is a concert that I wish I could have been at: Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band at the Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls Ontario on Septermber 22nd.  Ringo has played in the area several times over the years, often kicking off his tours at Fallsview or Casino Rama, but I've never managed to get to one. 

Per Wikipedia, the current lineup of the band is:

  • Ringo Starr – vocals, drums, piano (1989–present)[5]
  • Colin Hay – guitar, harmonica, vocals (2003, 2008, 2018–present)[6]
  • Hamish Stuart – bass, guitar, vocals (2006–2008, 2019–present)
  • Buck Johnson (musician) – Keyboards, guitar, vocals (2024–present)
  • Gregg Bissonette – drums, percussion, trumpet, backing vocals (2008–present)
  • Steve Lukather – guitars, bass, vocals (2012–present)
  • Warren Ham – saxophone, percussion, keyboards, harmonica, vocals (2014–present) 
As is typical for his shows, the songs include some classic rock numbers, songs from Ringo's post-Beatles career, and a few Beatles hits. The concert video is a fan production with stable video and decent sound. I hope I'm in as good shape at 84 as Ringo is now. Enjoy.
