Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band Live at Sunrise Musical Theatre – 17 May 1997

Saturday 17 May 1997 | Live, Ringo Starr
Sunrise Musical Theatre, Sunrise, Florida, USA

On 17 May 1997, Ringo Starr and his All-Starr Band performed at the Sunrise Musical Theatre in Sunrise, Florida — the 15th show of a 30-date US tour running from April to June 1997. The fourth All-Starr Band featured Peter Frampton, Jack Bruce, Gary Brooker, Mark Rivera, and Simon Kirke. Starr had previously played the Sunrise Musical Theatre in June 1992 and August 1995, and would return in March 1999 and June 2000.

The Fourth All-Starr Band

Ringo Starr — vocals, drums, percussion
Peter Frampton — guitar, vocals (Humble Pie; Frampton Comes Alive!)
Jack Bruce — bass guitar, keyboards, guitar, vocals (Cream)
Gary Brooker — keyboards, organ, vocals (Procol Harum)
Mark Rivera — saxophone, guitar, organ, keyboards, percussion, vocals
Simon Kirke — vocals, drums (Free; Bad Company)

The Setlist

The Sunrise show featured an expanded 23-song set, including Gary Brooker's 'Homburg' — not played at the previous night's Atlanta show:

'It Don't Come Easy' (Ringo Starr)
'Act Naturally' (Ringo Starr)
'The Devil Came from Kansas' (Gary Brooker / Procol Harum)
'Show Me the Way' (Peter Frampton)
'Sunshine of Your Love' (Jack Bruce / Cream)
'Shooting Star' (Simon Kirke / Bad Company)
'Boys' (Ringo Starr)
'Baby, I Love Your Way' (Peter Frampton)
'You're Sixteen' (Ringo Starr)
'Yellow Submarine' (Ringo Starr)
'Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)' (Peter Frampton)
'Homburg' (Gary Brooker / Procol Harum)
'Conquistador' (Gary Brooker / Procol Harum)
'I'm the Greatest' (Ringo Starr)
'No No Song' (Ringo Starr)
'I Feel Free' (Jack Bruce / Cream)
'All Right Now' (Simon Kirke / Free)
'I Wanna Be Your Man' (Ringo Starr)
'Do You Feel Like We Do' (Peter Frampton)
'White Room' (Jack Bruce / Cream)
'A Whiter Shade of Pale' (Gary Brooker / Procol Harum)
'Photograph' (Ringo Starr)
'With a Little Help from My Friends' (Ringo Starr)

Gary Brooker performed four Procol Harum songs at Sunrise — including 'Homburg' (1967), which had been a UK top five hit, in addition to 'The Devil Came from Kansas', 'Conquistador', and 'A Whiter Shade of Pale'. Jack Bruce's three Cream classics — 'Sunshine of Your Love', 'I Feel Free', and 'White Room' — anchored the middle of the set. Peter Frampton's arrangement of 'Norwegian Wood' remained one of the more unexpected moments: a Beatles song performed by a non-Beatle in a Beatle's own show.

The Sunrise Musical Theatre

The Sunrise Musical Theatre was a major indoor concert venue in Sunrise, Broward County, Florida — in the greater Fort Lauderdale area. It hosted major touring acts from the 1970s through to its closure and demolition in the 2000s. Ringo Starr performed there on multiple occasions between 1992 and 2000, making it one of the Florida venues most associated with the All-Starr Band's touring history.
