    Hello brothers and sisters, I saw Ringo and his all star band in 2001. I have to say it was fantastic. It's like seeing several concerts at one time, and Ringo is very cool. He treated us like we were all old friends who had just gotten back together again after years apart. I recommend going if you have the opportunity.

      The biggest mistake the Beatles ever commit. They were fed up with all that teenage screaming thing. But only a few years later, in 1968/69 the audience became grown up. They should have started going on tour again. But instead they were sitting in sticky stuffy studios and getting on each other's nerves. Musician are made to present their music live and that's what the Beatles gave up voluntary.

    I've tried on two occasions now to see him when he comes around, but quite frankly the ticket prices were absolutely astronomical.......love the guy to death, but not that much.

      @@j.dragon651 I know. It's not 1960s $5.00 or 1970s $40.00 ticket prices anymore. But technology has driven up the prices with better sound and lighting quality. And everybody has their hands out from the promoter to the valet driver.
      It could return to sensible prices again but the government and the Mafia wouldn't like it.

    Wonder if Hamish ever shared some of his issues with Paul to Ringo?

      There used to be some videos with very salty comments about Paul from Hamish but they have all pretty much disappeared from RUclips.

    Richard Starkey is about to turn 82 years-old. No offense, but I had always envisioned Rock 'n' Roll as being "a thing of Youth".

      These guys do it for their ego. I wouldn't see that tour if you gave me a free ticket and a front row seat.

      Actually, he looks real good for 81/82. I thought this was an old clip at first.
