The band also includes Colin Hay, Greg Bissonnette, Warren Ham, and Hamish Stuart. The band were planning to continue without Winter, however Steve Lukather tested positive for the virus, leaving the band little choice but to call off the shows. They were also set to perform at Virgina, Florida and Georgia.Įdgar Winter had tested positive for Covid on June 7, sitting out three dates of the tour, including two sold out shows at New York, and a gig in New Jersey. This was announced just a matter of hours before the band were set to perform at the Pennsylvanian city of Easton.įollowing their show at Easton, Ringo Starr and co were scheduled to perform at places like Maryland, Massacchusetts and Pennsylvania later this week. It was confirmed that the band’s guitarist Steve Lukather and keyboardist Edgar Winter had tested positive for this virus. Then he went into "Honey Don't.Ringo Starr and his All Star Band have been forced to postpone the remaining dates from his North American Tour, as several band members have tested positive for Covid-19. I enjoy many of the songs on Ringo 2012 and I think it is one of his better albums of the past decade. When he sang "Anthem" he noticed that I was making a peace sign. I found myself sitting there while they went on and on wondering when Ringo was going to sing again.Īnd Ringo did sing some more. I tend to like the typical pop song that is 3 minutes long. Those Santana songs are long and I think that is why I never could get into Santana. I realize that most everyone in the crowd loved them, but I just don't get into long guitar riffs. If I had to complain about anything it would be the long instrumentals that the band played. Her favorite Beatle for the past 50 years noticed her. Then he sang everyone's favorite, "Yellow Submarine." During this song, Ringo noticed my mom's t-shirt that said, "Ringo Rocks." He motioned his finger over his chest and pointed and my mom and gave her a thumbs up! He liked her shirt! My mom was thrilled. He sounded really good on this classic song from the White Album. Ringo sang and played "Boys" while on the drums and then moved to the keyboard and began "Don't Pass me by," which he finished out in front. Ringo then sang two more songs (It don't come easy and Wings) before he moved to the drums and allowed the All Starrs to perform. I love that! I think it really makes for a special concert. He is always waving and pointing and giving peace signs to his fans, even the ones in the back of the auditorium. And he REALLY interacts with the audience. He started right with "Matchbox." It was so exciting to see Ringo in person! He even pointed to me during this first song. If you got the "meet and greet" tickets because you know someone or whatever.why is that a secret? I saw the same type of behavior at the Paul concert. And frankly I will never understand all of the secrecy that occurs in the Beatle community. I had not heard of any other meet and greet opportunities. So I know that in some select cities (New York, Chicago and L.A.) fans were meeting Ringo through the art show. I tried to ask a few of the people in the line and they either ignored me or one person said, "we got our tickets way in advance." When I told her that I had ordered my tickets the day they came out in March and had VIP and didn't see anything else listed, she chuckled at me. When we got there, a group of people were lined up and waiting to for the "meet and greet." I do not know how they got that deal. Our seats were in the 2nd row as part of the VIP deal. The band was made up of Steve Lukather, Gregg Rolie, Todd Rundgren, Richard Page, Warren Ham, and Gregg Bissonette. So when I looked at the list of who was playing with the All Starr Band, I honestly didn't know who they were. I guess I just spent most of my time listening to the Beatles or solo music. And while I like to think that I listen to a variety of music, the real truth is that I don't. I have to confess that I did not care who was playing in the All Starr Band.
