By Dave Read<\/a> (Sept. 3, 2022 concert) – Tanglewood’s 2022 season was brought to a thrilling conclusion by Ringo Starr and his All Starr Band<\/strong>. His show lowered the curtain on another Popular Artist series, which plays an important role in support of the Boston Symphony<\/strong>‘s eight weeks of classical music at Tanglewood<\/strong>. (More reviews here -><\/a>)<\/p>\n

Once the innocuous drummer of history’s luckiest band, now Ringo Starr<\/strong> is the nucleus of a band of pop and rock stalwarts. If the other night Judy Collins<\/strong> delivered big whiffs of Sixties nostalgia, then the succeeding decades were heavily evoked tonight by key personnel from Toto<\/strong>, Men at Work<\/strong> and Average White Band<\/strong>.
\n\"Ringo
\nCombine the prominent role played by Edgar Winter<\/strong>, and you’ll see that Ringo’s ensemble is rooted firmly in the foundation of all pop music – unadorned rock ‘n roll. Truly gritty, down and dirty, rock ‘n roll is an American thing, a rural, unschooled, non-European thing, with decidedly black roots.<\/p>\n

Edgar Winter nearly stole the show with his tribute to big brother Johnny Winter<\/a><\/strong> (1944-2014), playing a song that could serve as a tribute to the entire genre, Chuck Berry’s<\/strong> Johnny B. Goode<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Throughout the two hour show, Ringo regaled the audience, whether teeny bopper or hep cat, even engaging with fans up front, complementing someone’s tee shirt! He sang half a dozen Beatles<\/strong> songs, including the show’s penultimate selection, With A Little Help From My Friends<\/em>, followed by Give Peace a Chance<\/em>, which his old bandmate, John Lennon<\/strong>, recorded the same month as the Moon launch, the month before Woodstock<\/strong>!<\/p>\n
