It can most certainly be said of Ringo Starr that, during illustrious thirty year career, he has kept interesting company. From his days bashing away in Liverpool and Hamburg with rory Storme and the Hurricanes, through his breathless hysteria drenched decade as one quarter of the beloved Beatles, to his movie projects alongside the likes of Peter sellers, and his featured stage roles in the Concert for Bangla Desh and The Last Waltz.

Just like we promised, songs you know and love declares Ringo, as he and his comrades launch into a feast of rock classics with uncommon verve and joy. few captured performances have ever sounded and felt so good.
