Ringo's summer All Starr tours with his All-Starr Band continue to be 'can't-miss' events year-after-year. Ringo And The All Starr's Live 2006 is from the legendary Beatles drummer and it features one of his most eclectic back-up bands yet. Comprised of Billy Squier, Edgar Winter, Richard Marx, Sheila E. and Rod Argent, the 2006 version of the All Starr's proved to be not just a great band but also a very versatile unit. The live album includes favorites like 'Yellow Submarine,' 'Photograph,' 'Act Naturally' and also some of the biggest hits of his back-up members' band's careers including 'Everybody Wants You' (Billy Squier), 'Frankenstein' (Edgar Winter), 'Glamorous Life' (Sheila E.), and 'Should Have Known Better (Richard Marx).

Summary: Credits? Not all, why?
Comment: Ringo IS "The Greatest" when it comes to drumming, charm, and getting some fabulous (although not always FAB) musicians together. Regarding this CD (not the DVD version), I have listened over and over again to it in my office as I work. It really is a good music CD that captures the energy of the concert. I saw him live with this 2006 line-up at Fantasy Springs Resort, Coachella Valley, CA - that's the Palm Springs area for those of you from Rio Linda...or Europe.
Now, the big "BUT": It's always been my impression that the "credits" give people their due when it comes to the art and creative work people put in to getting a piece like this on the street. From the musicians to the producers to the studios to the songwriters to the "thanks to God and everybody else".
However, this CD release by 67 year old Beatle Ringo Starr has one notorious omission: that of the layout artist/artwork. And if you like to read all those notes like I do, it's usually fun to see who we know, or who's name we've seen on other releases that may give us an indication of the quality expected...or not.
This person's omission becomes understandable when you see how many misspellings, incorrect grammar, extra spaces between words, missing song credits (It Don't Come Easy - 1st song), and edit glitches ("...include Sheila E in support Edgar Winter on Frankenstein..." - also note the extra space between "in" and "support"). I wouldn't want that person's name in the booklet either. The Ringo camp sent everything to the record company to manufacture "as is". I called Koch Records and that's the information I got.
It's sophomoric at best. As an indy producer, I make it my responsibility to check, re-check, and triple-check spelling, grammar, and the layout balance BEFORE anything goes to the printer! Someone REALLY didn't care to make the elementary corrections here. Shame on Koch Records for not getting the person responsible to get it right. You know they'll never sell enough of these to go to a 2nd printing, so....history is left with a marred product. Not becoming of the treatment deserved by Beatle Ringo.

Summary: Great to enjoy Ringo and friends
Comment: I just received this DVD. It is a very enjoyable production. The musicians on the DVD are all top notch and extremely talented, but I don't think the sound quality really captured that. It could have been better.
Overall the picture quality was good and the interviews interspersed throughout made it very interesting. It was a pleasure to see and hear great musicians really showing what they are made of. It was worth the cost.

Summary: Well, wait a minute ...
Comment: Other reviewers points about repetition on Ringo's stuff on all the All-Starr Band releases is well taken (though here, we do get "What Goes On" for the first time ever), but if you're a Beatle fan, it's cool to have Ringo playing on all the OTHER stuff. I didn't mind at all hearing him drum on other All-Starrs stuff like (say) "Rocky Mountain Way", "Life In The Fast Lane" and "Do You Feel Like We Do" in the past. Same holds true here - hearing him drum on "Free Ride", "Hold Your Head Up" and "She's Not There" doesn't really suck. And if you've seen him on the current 2008 tour - you know he's sounding better than ever. I'm already set to plunk down my $$$ for the 2008 CD, even if "Oh My My" is the only new Ringo song in the bunch.
