Thursday and Friday nights were the first two nights of Ringo’s new All Starr Band tour, premiering in Niagara Falls, Ontario. This Blog Meanie was lucky enough to be in the Friday night show there, and I have to say it was a fab show! The band this time around consists of Colin Hay, Billy Squier, Hamish Stuart, Edgar Winter, Gary Wright and Gregg Bissonette on drums. Ringo and the guys played for over 2 hours, and from start to finish it was just fantastic! Beatles songs were played (Boys, What Goes On, I Wanna Be Your Man), Edgar Winter did his thing with Frankenstein and Free Ride, Colin Hay’s Who Can It Be Now and Down Under, Billy Squier completely ROCKED the joint with The Stroke and Lonely Is The Night, Hamish Stuart performed Pick Up The Pieces from his AWB days and Gary Wright was amazing doing Dream Weaver and Love Is Alive. Even though the crowd was a little too subdued and Billy Squier did have to encourage everyone to join in the fun, this Meanie did her thing and rocked and danced till the last note was played. Ringo even flashed me a peace sign when I yelled out “Ringo” between songs! Tonight the show moves on to Bethel, New York (the scene of Woodstock) and then onto Radio City Music Hall and various other cities throughout the USA. If you don’t have tickets yet, I hope reading about the show moves you to want to experience it for yourself. You will not be disappointed!

I love you Ringo!
