Free Music Notes for And His All Starr BandFree Music Review: Fantastic compilation Hit: 5 Stars
If you're a Ringo fan, hopefully you have had or will have the opportunity to see Ringo and his All-Starr Band live. It is always a marvelous time, with great classic songs performed by Ringo and the other artists. Some of the greatest concerts I've ever attended have been Ringo's shows. So this 3- cd set which includes material from most, if apparently not all, the tours is a real blast to listen to. Some of the highlights include 'Weight Of The World', 'I Wanna Be Your Man', 'I'm The Greatest', 'It Don't Come Easy', 'You're Sixteen', 'Don't Go Where The Road Don't Go', 'Boys', 'No No Song', 'Yellow Submarine', 'Back Off Boogaloo' and 'Photograph' by Ringo, 'Groovin' by Felix Cavaliere, 'Black Maria' by Todd Rundgren, 'Raining In My Heart' by Rick Danko, 'All Right Now' by Simon Kirke, 'I Can't Tell You Why' by Timothy B. Schmidt, 'I Feel Free' by Jack Bruce, 'You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet' by Randy Bachman, 'A Whiter Shade Of Pale' by Gary Brooker, 'All By Myself' by Eric Carmen, 'I Hear You Knocking' by Dave Edmunds, 'Shine Silently' by Nils Lofgren and certainly all three of Joe Walsh's tunes ('Life In The Fast Lane', 'In The City' and his wonderfully off-kilter take on 'Desperado'). And there is much more great music on here which also deserves heard. The entire set is capped off 'With A Little Help From My Friends', as accurate a summation of the essence of the All-Starr Band tours as you will ever get. This really is a great and inexpensive set that all of Ringo's fans need to add to their collections.
Free Music Review: 48 Live Greatest Hits! Hit: 5 Stars
This is not simply Ringo Starr's greatest hits, but a huge assembling of some of Rock's most enduring stars. Ringo has packed top notch band leaders into concert performances that bring back fantastic memories. Highlights include Peter Frampton performing his famous 'live' "Show Me The Way" and "Baby I Love Your Way", Jack Bruce singing the classics, "Sunshine Of Your Love" and "I Feel Free" from Cream and Joe Walsh with "Life In The Fast Land" and "Desperado". This is just a sampling of great tight live performances that Ringo surrounds himself with. He doesn't forget all the classic Beatles hits that he sang, including "Yellow Submarine", It Don't Come Easy", his own "Photograph" and the incredible "With A Little Help From My Friends" as a closer! With most of these acts unable to draw enough fans for a tour this late in their game, Ringo pulls them altogether for one big race down memory lane and the band members couldn't be tighter. This was a great idea and from the remarks made by the stars and the roar of the enthusiastic audience, you know a good time was had by all!
Free Music Review: Any Ringo fan HAS to have this! Hit: 5 Stars
Everything the previous reviewers have said is true! I was lucky enough to see last year's tour in Poughkeepsie, NY and was in 7th heaven the whole night!! Ringo's tunes were . . . what can you say --- it was really the one and only Ringo up there singing his heart out and obviously having fun! I couldn't believe I was in the same roon as a Beatle! Being a drummer myself, I owe much of my career to that man. Besides the Ringo tunes, my favorite has to be "Sunshine of Your Love" sung by the great Jack Bruce. I was also a Cream fan, and it was just like hearing them LIVE! And now, I can't believe I didn't get tickets to this year's tour! ARGH!! Greg Lake! If you haven't been to the official Ringotour.com site you must go there. Read the latest reviews for the current tour. Follow all the links. The great news I just read is that they're making a DVD (to be released in October?)of the Anthology So Far album . . . maybe it will even have scenes of this year's tour! So, if you love Ringo, you must have this moderately priced 3-disc set!! (And go to Ringotour.com)
Free Music Review: SUPRISINGLY OUTSTANDING Hit: 5 Stars
I just got this CD today and all I can say is leave it up to Ringo Starr to get a little help from his friends. From Billy Preston of the 'Get Back' sessions, to Mark Farner of Grand Funk, Randy Bachman of BTO and his old friend Burton Cummings of the Guess Who it seems to be a various artist collection. However, Ringo provides us with some of his biggest hits from his solo career along with the old favorite Beatle tunes he sang. A few songs left off of the album of importance is 'Oh My My' and 'La De Da'. There are a few more off of the Ringo album he should have put on there. However, the fun is on this album and you can tell that a splendid time was guaranteed for all.
Free Music Review: It DOES Come Easy! Hit: 5 Stars
This neat and convenient 3-CD package contains the best of his All-Starr Band tours from 1989-2000. You get to hear all of Ringo's big songs, including "Photograph," "It Don't Come Easy," "Yellow Submarine," "Back Off Boogaloo" and more. Ringo sounds stronger on this CD than he did on his 2001 or 2003 tours. Maybe age really can hit a Beatle! After all, he is 65 now. The other performers are quite good too. I really liked John Entwistle's "Boris The Spider" (I am a huge fan of the Who also). Other reviewers have complained about sound quality, but I don't think it's that bad. But then again, I spend a lot of my time listening to bootlegs, so maybe I'm just used to it.
