Ringo Starr and his All-Starr Band live: Uncas Pavilion, Uncasville – 20 May 2000
Saturday 20 May 2000 | Live, Ringo Starr
Uncas Pavilion, Uncasville, Connecticut, USA
Ringo Starr and his All-Starr Band performed at the Uncas Pavilion in Uncasville, Connecticut on 20 May 2000 — the seventh show of the sixth All-Starr Band's 32-date North American tour, and the second of two consecutive nights at the venue. Ringo returned to the Uncas Pavilion on 2 August 2001.
The Uncas Pavilion
The Uncas Pavilion was an outdoor amphitheatre at the Mohegan Sun casino resort in Uncasville, Connecticut — operated by the Mohegan Tribe on their tribal land along the Thames River. The Mohegan Sun complex, which opened in 1996, became one of the largest casino resorts in the United States and a significant live music venue in the north-east. The pavilion took its name from Uncas, the 17th-century sachem (chief) of the Mohegan people, who is also the inspiration for the character in James Fenimore Cooper's novel The Last of the Mohicans (1826).
