This looks like Ringo being a guest for McC...
What a sour puss! It was Ringo's 70th birthday and Paul came on at the end. Here's Paul singing BIRTHDAY with Ringo on drums (below). Wish I'd been there!

Saw his first tour in the 80's with Joe Walsh. Just awful. I called it Ringo Starr and his drunken all star band. I guess it's gotten better.

Here's a review of the current show/line-up:
[www.getreadytorock.com]
Years ago I bought tickets to a Ringo show for the whole family. I told my sons that one day they could tell their grandkids they saw a Beatle in person. The night of the concert my sons said they didn't want to go. There was a huge row, and we ended up going without them.
A year later my son went to college and shared a room with a kid who was a huge Beatle fan, the sort that wears John Lennon glasses. It was then that he really listened to the Beatles, and later he confessed to me that now he thought it was a huge mistake to skip the show, and it was something he regretted.

I saw them at Shepherd's Bush Empire in '98, & Ringo was probably the weakest thing about the band...which at least lived up to it's name, featuring Peter Frampton, Jack Bruce, Gary Brooker & Simon Kirke amongst others.
The vast majority of Ringo's songs (both Beatles & solo) are sung in far lower keys than the records (for example Honey Don't is taken down from E to C).

I went to see the 2nd living Beatle.
That was OK.
To see him performing songs of B or C stars is just a bad experience.

Wow, I didnt know that! It just put me in mind of the story I remember Carl Perkins telling about (when they recorded the original) everyone in the studio said "You can't go from E to C!" and he replied "Where does it say that?" or to that effect. I found it an interesting story!

I saw them in London in 92 and 98. Both times were great fun apart from the presence of Peter Frampton in 98 (for some real reason he irritates the shit out of me).
It has to be said that over recent tours the line up has become less All-Star. However, it's still a great opportunity to see a Beatle playing live if you haven't already.

By all means, go ! Saw Ringo and his All-Starrs twice-- first time late 80's he put together as great band ( Levon Helm, Rick Danko, Billy Preston, Dr John, Jim Keltner, Clarence Clemmons) and the second time a few years later and his band also rocked ( Dave Edmunds, Todd Rundgren, Zak Starkey )--
Ringo was Ringo. Sang his Beatles songs, his top solo hits, some new stuff, and played drums like crazy. What really stuck with me was how good a drummer he was.
A very enjoyable night out for sure

I saw Starr and the band a few summers ago and Ringo filled the room with sheer good feeling with his infectious affability. I went in thinking, "Oh, he's a drummer, he'll make a lousy front man." But he was great. Outside after the show I heard others in the crowd saying what a great show it was. It didn't hurt that Joe Walsh made a surprise appearance at the end to play on the last two songs.
I wish I'd been there when Paul McCartney was the surprise guest!

They are playing at Hampton Court Palace soon,but at about £65 a ticket.Nice venue but well overpriced in my opinion. Just found out they played there in June.

In my opinion this a concert not to be missed, especially considering the lack of quality gigs these days. As much as I would like to say (the) Beatle is the focus of the show I think I'd be wrong. Maybe it's Edgar Winter or Rick Derringer? Go see this show, and you can drink a few glasses of Uerige first. Lucky you!!!

By all means go. But you shouldn't necessarily expect that Paul is going to be there. I'm pretty sure they don't do that all the time.

I saw Ringo in 1998 and with him were Peter Frampton, Gary Brooker, Jack Bruce & Simon Kirke. I remember it as a great concert. I'll see him on his current tour for a 2nd time, because I like also the members of his All Starr Band.
Go there, if you have the chance. I'm sure, you won't be sorry!

I've seen him 2-3 times, fun show. Not going to go down as groundbreaking, but you get to hear a lot of good music by good musicians.
