Notes: First time I've been at this venue, so, was uncertain as to what to expect. Unusually, my wife was unable to attend, so, my neighbor joined me for this show. Bellco Theatre seats 5000 people, making this a larger venue than the nearby Paramount Theater - much to my surprise, the venue was largely filled

for Ringo's performance. We estimated attendance at 4500.

Our seats turned out to be quite far from the stage, but, fortunately, we were two rows directly behind the soundboard, so, to my ears, the sound was really

very good. I sat on the aisle, which meant that people were squeezing past to get out of the row and, the couple next to us were frequent bathroom visitors.

Other than a brief interlude at the beginning of the show, where you hear me tell them they're trying to sit in my neighbor's seat ("these are seats 401 & 402, you're 403"), there aren't any real distractions to the recording.

The performance was very enjoyable. The pleasure of seeing the All-Starrs is in the jukebox-like setlist - virtually every song is a hit. The exceptions were

Stuart's performance of "Work To Do" (the audience noticeable started for the concessions or restrooms at that point) and Winter's singing "Johnny B. Goode", which, of course, was a hit, just not his. Besides Ringo's songs (he was who I was there to see), I particularly enjoyed Colin Hay's songs (Men At Work were one of my first "favorite" bands when I was a middle schooler in the '80s) as well as Edgar Winter's songs - "Free Ride" being an especially fun in-concert song.

I've also included 62 (!) pictures that I took from our seats - as noted, we were quite far from the stage, so, they're not particularly sharp, but, they give you a sense of where we were in the venue and a look at the stage set up.

Finally: please don't sell the recording, but, otherwise, do with it what you wish. Share it and trade it, and remember: these and other greats will not be around forever, so, let's enjoy them while we have them. Best wishes to all of the fans out there and Namaste.
