Message: [QUOTE="storrsroars, post: 4258813, member: 2500"] I mentioned Ringo's All Starr band in the old fogey concert thread. I've watched a bunch of their live shows on YT and I'd say they've sucked since 2000 (although Edgar Winter doing Frankenstein in post-2000 shows is worth a listen). Biggest surprise was how good and versatile Dave Edmunds was on guitar during the 2000 tour - I'd written him off as a rockabilly guy, but damn he can play. He was doing Cream hits with Jack Bruce and holding his own (even better than Todd Rundgren did on the 1999 tour). Jack Bruce did three tours with Ringo, two of which also featured Gary Brooker. And one of which also featured Frampton - and for my money, that was the best of all the All Starr lineups. I've never seen two guys who've never played together before have so much fun. There are several Bruce/Frampton moments in the show, but none better than the 10 minutes or so of this clip (ending of DYFLID and all of White Room). [MEDIA=youtube]7KyoX9XLgaA:6300[/MEDIA] They just don't make concerts like that anymore. Jack is gone. Gary is gone. Peter can no longer play. Ringo is still going at 81 but running out of playmates who actually rock. [/QUOTE]
