Friday 10 August 2001 | Live, Ringo Starr

Ringo Starr and his All-Starr Band performed at the Etess Arena at the Trump Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA, on 10 August 2001. It was the 11th show by the seventh All-Starr Band, whose North American tour ran for 28 dates between July and September 2001.

The seventh All-Starr Band

Ringo Starr (vocals, drums, percussion) was joined by:

Roger Hodgson (vocals, guitar, keyboards) — co-founder and lead vocalist of Supertramp, responsible for some of the band’s most celebrated songs including ‘The Logical Song’, ‘Give A Little Bit’, ‘Dreamer’, and ‘Take The Long Way Home’. Hodgson left Supertramp in 1983 to pursue a solo career.

Ian Hunter (vocals, guitar, keyboards) — lead vocalist and primary songwriter of Mott the Hoople, the glam rock group whose 1972 single ‘All The Young Dudes’ — written and produced by David Bowie — became one of the defining anthems of the era. Hunter also wrote ‘Cleveland Rocks’, which became the theme song for the US TV series The Drew Carey Show.

Howard Jones (vocals, keyboards, percussion) — British synth-pop artist who had a string of UK and US hits in the 1980s, including ‘No One Is To Blame’, ‘Things Can Only Get Better’, and ‘What Is Love?’.

Greg Lake (vocals, bass guitar, acoustic guitar) — co-founder of both King Crimson and Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Lake sang lead on King Crimson’s ‘The Court Of The Crimson King’ and wrote and performed ELP’s ‘Lucky Man’ and ‘Karn Evil 9’. He died in December 2016.

Mark Rivera (vocals, saxophone, percussion, guitar, bass, harmonica, flute) — a veteran of Billy Joel’s touring band and a regular All-Starr Band member across multiple tours.

Sheila E (vocals, drums, percussion) — percussionist, singer and songwriter best known for her 1984 hit ‘The Glamorous Life’ and her close association with Prince, who produced her early albums. She is also the daughter of percussionist Pete Escovedo.
