From Liverpool to Livermore
Beatle Ringo Starr opens Wente Vineyards' summer concert season
By Jim Harrington, STAFF WRITER

Suitably, the ex-Beatle rocked us royally on Tuesday night at Wente Vineyards in Livermore.

It's hard not to like a gig where the majority of the crowd can sing the words to the majority of the songs played. That was certainly the case during the opening night of Wente's 2006 concert season.

Starr and his All Star Band put on a show that was much like two hours of really great programming on a commercial-free classic rock radio station. Only, the music wasn't coming through the car speakers — it was being played live by someof the musicians who originally made the tunes great.

The biggest misconception that many people have going into their first Ringo Starr concert is that the night will be filled primarily with Beatles music. That would be nice. But it isn't how it works.

The reality, which at Wente turned out to be equally as nice as the fantasy, is that Starr provides a showcase for all of the band members to play their best-known songs.


Yet there was no shortage of familiar tunes. The All Stars included some pretty big names — including vocalist-guitarists Richard Marx and Billy Squier, vocalist-multi-instrumentalist Edgar Winter and vocalist-percussionist Sheila E. — and they all played hits that had the audience singing along.

The 65-year-old Liverpudian legend, who looks a good 20 years younger, sounded strong as he opened the show with his 1971 solo hit "It Don't Come Easy." He sure made it look easy as he continued to casually croon through the first Beatles offering, "What Goes On," a tune from 1965's "Rubber Soul" that is notable for being the only Lennon-McCartney-Starr composition ever recorded.

The bandleader then retreated back to his drum set, which was located next to Sheila E.'s kit, and let Squier take center stage for a blistering take on "Everybody Wants You" (from "Emotions in Motion").

The Squier-led songs were likely nothing short of revelations for this crowd. Although he's forever linked to the early'80s, the period in which he experienced his greatest success, this guy can still play. His guitar work was sharp and his raspy voice, which is highly reminiscent of that of the Scorpions' Klaus Meine, has lost little over the decades. Plus, the songs he played at Wente, especially "Rock Me Tonight," have managed to age well.

Other selections from the evening sounded very dated — but not in a bad way. For example, Winter's "Free Ride" was a nostalgic trip that drove us right back to 1972, when the Edgar Winter Group's epic "They Only Come Out at Night" was released. That was also the case with Winter's sensational take on "Frankenstein," which might be the best rock instrumental of all time.

By my rough calculations, it seems like Starr got the spotlight about half the time — which is appropriate. The brightest Starr offerings were, not surprisingly, Beatles numbers such as "Yellow Submarine" and "With a Little Help from My Friends."

By the end of the evening, all of the band members, including keyboardist Rod Argent and bassist Hamish Stuart, had made solid contributions. In particular, Argent, a player best known for his time with the Zombies, had the crowd going to the anthem "Hold Your Head Up." Sheila E. also did a memorable job singing the funky "Glamorous Life."

Of course, Sheila E.'s biggest contribution came in the percussion department. She delivered some head-spinning rhythms that even amazed the other pros on the stage.

"She does some of the fastest flurries I've ever seen," said Winter, who then looked over at his boss and added: "except for Ringo."

As most of you know, there's a long-running joke about Starr's drumming. Even the man himself is willing to play up his supposed mediocrity for laughs. For instance, he was the butt of his own joke after one of Sheila E.'s big runs.

"I have to tell you that in those five minutes, Sheila hit the drums more times than I have in my career," he said with decidedly straight, British humor.

Sure, Starr has been called "the luckiest man on earth," a reference to the likely fact that probably any drummer that hooked up John, Paul and George would have become a star. Yet, from where I was sitting, his drumming was far from a joke.

To the contrary, I'd go even further and say that his drumming was the best part of the show. Watching him swing the sticks, I was able to imagine what it might have been like to actually see him play behind the other three Beatles.

And that was exactly the dose of nostalgia I was looking for on this night.

Ringo takes the stage with a little help from his All-Starr friends
By Bill DeYoung
The Stuart News
Posted July 7 2006

He turns 66 today, but Ringo Starr, who'll perform tomorrow in Boca Raton, is indefatigable.

Nearly 40 years since the Beatles' breakup, Starr still works for the attention and adoration of an audience that would love him even if he just stayed home.

He began the All-Starr Band format in 1989, right around the time he got a handle on the alcoholism that had dragged him down for more than a decade.

Although Ringo is always on the stage, the players are fluid. This year's shows feature Rod Argent (Hold Your Head Up), Edgar Winter (Frankenstein), Billy Squier (The Stroke), Richard Marx (Right Here Waiting), bassist Hamish Stuart from Paul McCartney's band, and percussionist Sheila E.

They get to do their hits ... and Ringo does a few of his.

Q. Is it still cool to play in front of people? You didn't, for a long time.

A. It's the best. Yes, it was a long time, but I was doing something else and it wasn't very productive. So since I haven't been doing that, I've been doing this.

Q. Does not drinking any more give you more stamina?

A. It gives you more stamina, but it also gives you a reason to get up in the morning.

Q. You must know that there are people who'd rather hear two hours of you instead of the All-Starrs. Why do you do it this way?

A. Because it's the way I can have fun. I can come down, be the entertainer, do Little Help From My Friends and Photograph or whatever, then I can get back and play my drums, and just enjoy playing behind the other guys. Both needs are filled -- the entertainer and the drummer.

Q. I understand you've brought out the Beatles' song What Goes On this time. There are great tunes from your solo catalog we'd love to hear.

A. Well, maybe next year (laughing).

Q. I have to ask you about Billy Preston, who passed away recently. He was one of the first All-Starrs.

A. Billy was a friend of mine and a most incredible musician. It was always brilliant when he was in the band. As we know from the '60s, when he played with that other band I was in, he was great. Billy was, for me, the most amazing musician.

I saw him just a couple of days before he went into Emergency. We actually played together a couple of weeks before, when they showed the Concert for Bangladesh film in L.A. They put a band together after the film, so people could mingle and have a party.

Q. Did you have any input into the new Cirque du Soleil Beatles show?

A. The only input I have is a long time ago, I played a lot of drums. But Paul and I heard everything that they did and said "yes" or "no" to it.

Q. It's been nearly 20 years of All-Starr bands. I wonder if you'll run out of guys to enlist.

A. I don't think we'll ever run out of guys. There's always another guy in the wings! (laughing) Hey, Rod's great, Edgar's great -- you get to hear their songs. That's the deal.

5 minutes with Ringo
By Leslie Gray Streeter

Palm Beach Post Music Writer

Friday, July 07, 2006

Five minutes is an impossibly short amount of time in which to get to know somebody. Of course, there's so much about Ringo Starr we already know — he was born Richard Starkey in Liverpool, England. Actually, today is his 66th birthday. He's got a nice beard.

And he was in the biggest rock band in the world. But then again, you probably know all that.

There's so much more we'd like to ask the former Beatle, in preparation for this weekend's Boca Raton appearance of his Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band tour, featuring Rod Argent, Richard Marx, Sheila E., Billy Squier, Edgar Winter and Hamish Stuart (of the Average White Band). But there was no time for small talk — we needed to get to the good stuff. That's why The Palm Beach Post asked fans to help come up with a list of questions, things you really wanted to know about the drummer/singer/actor/keeper of the flame of all things fab.

About 30 Ringo fans from all across the world (or Across the Universe, if we're keeping it Beatles-related) chimed in with questions both great ("Do you read Beatles fan sites?") and goofy (a request that we just ask the same question over and over again for five minutes). We mixed several of the best with a few of our own and fired away at Starr, who was told that a lot of the questions were from you guys. With one glaring exception, he seemed to like them. Bravo! Your Junior Reporter press passes are in the mail.

Question: Apparently, you once did an live online chat with fans. Any plans to do that again?

Answer: I've not done that again, no.

Q: Would you?

A: No, not really. It was very slow. By the time the question would come in, and they would tell me the question, and I'd type the answer to the question back, it's like there was too much time in between. I would be better if I could type well. But I'm not going to learn to at this point, and I don't care what you say.

Q: And you don't have to, because you're Ringo Starr. How do you decide which songs you're going to sing in the shows, where you're all playing each other's material?

A: There is a set pattern for the songs. We don't have any big discussion before rehearsal. We have (drummer) Sheila E. back, and she knows how it works. Whoever the members are, I just learn all of their songs.

Q: You've played with so many great musicians on these tours (past lineups have featured Todd Rundgren, Dr. John, Joe Walsh, the late Billy Preston and Dave Edmunds). Do you have a wish list for people you'd like to work with?

A: No. This band I'm working with right now is incredible. I'd love to do this again, though, and have another (All-Starr) band.

Q: OK. Somebody wants to know whether you have any contact with original Beatles drummer Pete Best?

A: (Very adamantly) Never.

Q: OK! (slightly icy silence from other side of the phone) That was not my question, I swear. Moving on... The Beatles were so influential that there are a gazillion bands that are thought of as "Beatlesque." Do you have any favorites of those bands?

A: No, not really. There's so much of it out there! Even some of the newer bands, people say are just like us.

Q: Speaking of bands almost just like you, have you ever seen a Beatles tribute band?

A: (laughs) No, I haven't! Can you imagine me sitting on the audience, watching this band, with someone pretending to be me? (chuckles) It won't happen.

Q: Do you have a favorite of the songs you'll be singing on this tour?

A: They're all my favorite! That's like when people ask me "What's your favorite (Beatles) single of all time?"

Q: OK, I'll bite. What is your favorite Beatles single of all time?

A: Oh, there are too many, much too many.

Q: What's your favorite of the ones you wrote?

A: (chuckles) Well, I only wrote two, you know. That's the thing. I can't type as well as you.

Q: I don't actually type that well. I just make sure I can read my notes well later.

A: That's all? Well, I can do that!
