Tour Context
The All-Starr Band format was established by Ringo Starr in 1989 as a way to tour with a rotating cast of rock legends, each performing their own signature songs alongside Ringo's Beatles and solo material. The 1997 edition was the fourth incarnation of the band and one of the most critically praised, with the combination of Peter Frampton, Jack Bruce, and Gary Brooker providing exceptional musical depth.
