Ringo Starr And His All-Starr Band Rock Colorado At Fiddler’s Green – 7 May 1997

On 7 May 1997, Ringo Starr and his fourth All-Starr Band brought an unforgettable night of classic rock and Beatles magic to the Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre in Greenwood Village, Colorado. The performance was the eighth show of the band’s hugely successful 1997 US tour and featured one of the most impressive line-ups ever assembled under the All-Starr banner.

For Beatles fans and rock historians alike, this concert represented far more than another tour stop. It was a celebration of musical friendship, legendary catalogues, and the enduring power of live performance nearly three decades after The Beatles split.

The Fourth All-Starr Band Line-Up

Ringo Starr’s All-Starr Band concept allowed some of rock music’s most respected musicians to perform both their own hits and Beatles classics on the same stage. The 1997 line-up was especially remarkable:

• Ringo Starr – vocals, drums, percussion
• Peter Frampton – guitar, vocals
• Jack Bruce – bass, keyboards, vocals
• Gary Brooker – keyboards, organ, vocals
• Mark Rivera – saxophone, guitar, keyboards, vocals
• Simon Kirke – vocals, drums

The Colorado audience also witnessed a surprise appearance by legendary Cream drummer Ginger Baker, who joined the band during a powerful rendition of ‘White Room’. Seeing Baker and Jack Bruce reunite on stage added another historic dimension to an already extraordinary evening.

Ringo Starr’s 1997 Tour Revival

By 1997, Ringo Starr had firmly established the All-Starr Band format as one of classic rock’s most beloved touring productions. Rather than focusing solely on Beatles nostalgia, the concerts created a travelling supergroup atmosphere where each member contributed signature songs from their own careers.

The tour ran for 30 dates between April and June 1997 and drew fans from across generations. It was also a reminder of Ringo’s unique role in rock history — not only as The Beatles’ drummer, but as a musician capable of bringing together some of the genre’s biggest personalities.

Peter Frampton thrilled the crowd with performances of ‘Show Me The Way’ and ‘Baby, I Love Your Way’, while Jack Bruce brought Cream classics like ‘Sunshine Of Your Love’ and ‘White Room’ to life once again.

Gary Brooker’s emotional renditions of ‘Conquistador’ and ‘A Whiter Shade Of Pale’ added depth and grandeur to the evening, showcasing the musical diversity of the All-Starr concept.
