Toto guitarist Steve Lukather, now in his second decade with Starr, introduced “Hold the Line” as: “A song from when I was 20 years old - in 1927.” Explaining why his until recently full head of black hair is now white, Lukather told the audience: “At 65, you just say ‘F- it!’ “ “Do you remember 1976? What was it like?” Average White Band co-founder Hamish Stuart, 73, asked the audience as he led the All-Starrs - minus Starr - into a percolating version of AWB’s mid-1970s hit, “Cut the Cake.” The passing of time also inspired quips at Pechanga from some of the members of his All-Starr Band, the 15th iteration of the group he has led since its inception in 1989. But the majority appeared to be graying baby-boomers who grew up in the 1960s when The Beatles were irrevocably transforming music and pop culture - and Starr was the most famous young rock drummer on the planet. There were some Millennials and Gen Z-ers in the audience, including a young woman in front of me who danced joyously during much of the concert. (Charlie Neuman/For The San Diego Union-Tribune)
