Nice.

Did anyone else notice/ mention: At the song's coda, the rest of the band waits for Paul to count them back in...
But Ringo comes in early which caused Ronnie to also come back in early.
It's all good...

The song does NOT have a code Schillid. It's a shit song rip off of Little Sister but at least he's not coding. That crap didn't even exist back then. Nobody even had a computer, dude, what century were you born in?
the band waits for a code. yeh, paul's gonna start the 'revolution'
we're all just waiting for the right wink at the friggin camera..
the cute one. bleeccchh.

With all due respect, do you know what a musical coda is? It is not a code, but a coda. Look it up.

looking stuff up ain't my forte.
i'm sort of pianissimo bout' the whole deal to be honest.

Ronnie shows up for a lot of things. He's more diverse than some of the other Stones.

Ronnie would show up for the opening of a packet of biscuits !

But that's not a criticism. He probably just loves life and likes doing stuff...whatever it might be .

Probably true. Ronnie seems willing to put his guitar in the boot of his car and turn up and play anywhere any time when invited. He does more guest spots than the rest of the band put together and seems to get a warm welcome from every audience he appears in front of.

I was lucky to be there on Sunday and he was well received as usual. Note that Macca's touring drummer, Abe Laboriel Junior did not leave the stage when Ringo arrived and carried on playing. Hmmmm!!!! Whereas Ronnie's guitar was clearly audible on a song he's previously guested on at a Macca show.

Some mantain that Ringo cannot really play drums anymore, so it felt safer to keep on stage Macca's drummer too. I ain't no drummer, but from the footage Ringo's contribution sounds messy. Of course in the arena I didn't pay any attention to that, since everybody was overwhelmed with the excitement of seeing these guys on stage together. It was great no matter what.

I agree. I rate it as one of my greatest concert moments ever, even though I'm no fan of some of Ringo's behaviour and stupid comments he's made in the past etc, but he was a Beatle. I'm still on a high from being there.

Repeat and fade ...

looking very strange...

Life's just a cocktail party on the street

Great to see Paul and Ringo playing on stage together again.....55 years on from first seeing The Beatles as a teenager in 1964 at Birmingham Town Hall.

Ringo probably hasn’t played get back in a lot years. I don’t care how he played, is he supposed play like Charlie.

Ronnie was introduced before Ringo - looks like The Rolling Stones are more important than the old Beatles pal ....

Nah.
Typically works in reverse, the bigger star gets introduced last- as in this case.

Sounds as if it was certainly a night to remember for the Macca gig and two Beatles and a Stone on stage together.
So glad everyone enjoyed the gig and also wondering if Ronnie did go home on the tube.
Looks like he was wearing a hoodie, but still very recognisable and probably with his body guard next to him. Can quite understand that in this day and age.

Yes! I agree that Ronnie loves gigging with friends and people he admires, just for the fun of doing it and playing his sort of music. Well done Ronnie.

Nice one Macca and his band, Ronnie and Ringo playing 'Get Back'.

Ronnie has always been a street boy, but I think his problem with cancer (fortunately without consequences) made him realize how short life is and so it's worth living.

Ronnie's been doing these things since way before his cancer scare. I've now lost count of the times I've seen him pop up, unexpectedly or otherwise, at venues big and small outside of Stones tours. He just loves getting up there and playing.

I saw Ringo & his All Starr band in 2017, they do have a second drummer, but Ringo plays drums on about 65-70 percent of the songs and plays well.

Just go's to show how Charlie is still going strong and plays those drums so well for two hours at a time...…...…..song after song.

And why he is spry loose and ready to go. Practice. Love Ron Wood. Great pics here thanks.

That was truly a thing of beauty! What a nice little Christmas present for music fans.

Ronnie's solo phrasing absolutely fits in this great song.

very historic to have Paul and Ringo playing together. I've always wondered why they didnt jam more. theyre a pretty good rhythm section

Is there a Macca site like IORR where we could download the whole show?

No equivalent Macca site unfortunately, check Dime or YT where full shows appear quite frequently now.

Was wondering about that too but I think it was more a case of "saving the best" for last, yes pun intended ;-)

Always found it odd that I never hear anyone comment on how Ringo could not play without another drummer since the 70s. If Charlie did this I can only imagine all the crap the Stones would get.

Apples and Oranges, really.
Ringo went on to primarily fronting a band, and the Beatles stopped being one.

Ronnie's Stones/Beatles guitar what value would ya put on that now...
