Memories were made Friday night in The Pearl Concert Theater inside
Palms Casino Resort as Ringo Starr and his All Starr Band took the stage
for the first of two nights of rock n roll. The stops at The Pearl
were the only two U.S. dates following a two-month Latin American Tour.
The current incarnation of the All Starr Band included Steve Lukather
(Toto), Gregg Rolie (Santana; Journey), Richard Page (Mr. Mister), Todd
Rundgren, Mark Rivera and Gregg Bissonette. Paying homage to all of
their past projects, in addition to Ringo Starr hits like “Photograph”
and “It Don’t Come Easy,” the group played a collection of songs from
the All Starrs such as “Rosana” and “Black Magic Woman.” Of course, they
had to play a few Beatles tunes as well, sounding fantastic as the
group performed “With A Little Help From My Friends” and “Yellow
Submarine.”
Music fans Brandon Flowers and Ronnie Vannucci of The Killers took in
the show last night and there have been rumblings today of a special
guest at tonight’s show. Also in attendance last night, the five “kids
in the car” from the now famous photo from Ringo’s book “PHOTOGRAPH.”
The group met Ringo face-to-face backstage for the first time since they
located the “kids” and the reunion will air on a future episode of The
Today Show.
The official book launch of Ringo Starr’s book PHOTOGRAPH is also
taking place at the Palms this weekend with a large exhibit of excerpts
from the limited-edition book by Genesis Publications. The exhibit
runs today from 2 p.m. until midnight in the hotel’s Addison Room.
