    Being a child of the 70s and 80s if someone would’ve told me back in 1983 that someday Men At Works Colin Hay, Billy Squire and Ringo Starr would be performing this together onstage in their 60’s I would’ve called them a lunatic! This is very cool. Dream team. Edgar Winter! Met him once. Very nice, humble dude

    I was at this show at the fabulous Greek Theatre (My favorite venue in town) and Billy was the main reason I went, as Billy is another I have cool history with.
    The concert trail misses him and 2024 would be a great time to return to do a sensibly planned tour. (Odds are against it, but Billy has taken care of himself, so he would be capable, if he chose to take the plunge. Even a Vegas & NYC residency would work.)

      Shockingly no. They're at one of the more famous music venues in Los Angeles. Unfortunately the crowd is mostly made up of old Beatles fans who have long forgotten what it means to rock. They're there for Ringo (who's great), and probably don't even know who Billy Squire is or was.
