Product description Ringo Starr & His All Starr Band [Audio CD] Ringo Starr & His All Starr Band .com After an absence of several years (1983's Old Wave had been his last release to date), Ringo surprised everyone by hitting the road for a series of sold-out U.S. concert dates in 1989 and 1990. Keeping with the "With a Little Help from My Friends" aesthetic that produced Ringo's best solo work, the All-Starr Band tour featured appearances by Dr. John, Joe Walsh, Clarence Clemons, Billy Preston, Nils Lofgren, Jim Keltner, and Rick Danko and Levon Helm of the Band. This enjoyable live document does a solid job of capturing the tour's jam-party atmosphere, with most of the guests trading turns at the microphone; Lofgren's wistful "Shine Silently," and Helm and Danko's soulful rendition of "The Weight" are worth the price of admission in themselves. Ringo alternates his biggest solo hits with some well-chosen oldies and generally sounds like he's having the time of his life. --Dan Epstein

From the Label Ringo Starr captured live in 1989 with a virtual "who's who" of rock & roll: Nils Lofgren, Joe Walsh, Billy Preston, Rick Danko, Clarence Clemons, Levon Helm, Dr. John, and Jim Keltner. This exuberant album features wall-to-wall hits, with each of the band's singers getting a turn at the mike: Dr. John does the New Orleans standard "Iko Iko;" Helm and Danko team up for the Band's classic "The Weight" (with the Doctor handling a verse); Danko also does a heartfelt take on a favorite Buddy Holly tune, "Raining In My Heart." Nils Lofgren provides the most thoughtful moment with his epic ballad "Shine Silently," while Clemons raises the roof on a cover of Gary U.S. Bonds' "Quarter to Three." And Preston does the most high-spirited of his familiar hits, "Will It Go Round in Circles." The real kick, however, is hearing Ringo take the mike with this stellar team behind him. Four of his biggest solo hits are included: "It Don't Come Easy," "You're Sixteen" (with Clemons' sax replacing Paul McCartney's original kazoo solo), "The No-No Song" and "Photograph," and Beatles fans finally get to hear a live version of "Honey Don't." As Musician magazine noted, Ringo still comes across as the most low-key and likeable Beatle -- and we all know that don't come easy. Also available as a special edition with deluxe packaging. The special edition features features a CD5 with the four hit songs "It Don't Come Easy," "The Weight," "Rocky Mountain Way" (featuring Joe Walsh), and "Act Naturally" recorded live. The two latter tracks are otherwise unreleased. See more

this music really is their passion...
When Ringo Starr assembled his first "All-Starr" band, he meant business! The end result was one heck of a band giving incredibly electric concerts; my only real disappointment is that we don't get the full recording of the concert here and there's no note at to which night this was recorded. However, the quality easily trumps the lack of quantity: these guys play like their lives depended on it; there's so much energy in this performance that I found myself feeling truly upset that I had never been to one of their concerts. The sound quality is really rather good for a live recording; and the songs set flows very well as it should during a concert. There's not a dud in the bunch; all of these songs are sublime.Yes, there are CD sets that you may prefer to buy instead of this CD; but don't make the mistake of thinking this isn't very good because it's abridged or just because Ringo doesn't sing on every track. I was mesmerized by Billy Preston's performance of his great tune "Will It Go Round in Circles;" and Joe Walsh does awesome justice to "Life in the Fast Lane." The guitars on "Life in the Fast Lane" amazed me especially toward the very end of the track and I think you'll love it, too. Dr. John sings and plays keyboards for "Iko Iko" with panache and he doesn't skip a beat.And, of course, there's Ringo. He's terrific on tunes including his own "Photograph" and "It Don't Come Easy;" especially with "It Don't Come Easy" there's so much electricity you could light up a city with all they produce! "You're Sixteen" also features Ringo squarely in the spotlight as he sings this flawlessly; and Ringo's "Honey Don't" is very well done.In addition, listen for Rick Danko to perform a sensitive and genuinely passionate rendition of Buddy Holly's "It's Raining in My Heart;" and Levon Helm sings "The Weight" without ever letting go of a superfluous note.Other stars lending a hand are Nils Lofgren on guitar; Jim Keltner on drums and Clarence Clemons on saxophone, percussion--and Clarence sings, too! Nils also sings "Shine Silently" with sensitivity and I was very impressed.In retrospect, this is no longer *the* CD for diehard Ringo Starr "All-Starr" band fans because they've done so much more and there are box sets of CDs that cover this material more thoroughly. This is best suited for casual fans or people just discovering the magical artistry of Ringo's first "All-Starr" band; fans of the other performers on this album may also want this for their collections.

Ringo Still Rocks!
I saw his band on tour at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. Ringo still rocks.
