Ringo Starr & His All Starr Band Live 2006 Reviews

• If this is what I think it is...

  
  By A3NWXCY2FT3O0E on 2008-05-05
  I think this may be the 2006 all-starr DVD. If it is, I have waited 2 long years for this. It was recorded at Mohegan Sun Casino in CT. This show was amazing and long too. I can't wait to see what this actually is. There is no info on Koch's site, or any fan sites or Ringo's site. Even if it isn't what I think it is, it will still get 5 starrs, because it's Ringo. He can do no wrong in my book.
  
  

• Eclectic, yes...BUT

  Once again, Mr. Starkey has proven that he can take from 4 to 7 musicians from any genre and turn them into a tight-as-a-tick band. God bless you, Ringo. But still: WHEN are you going the release the absolute GREATEST "Ringo's All Starr Band" configuration, that of Peter Frampton, Gary Brooker, Jack Bruce, and Simon Kirke on DVD? PLEASE?
  
  

• Best All Starr Band DVD release so far, IMO

  
  By A32ZSAERT7LT0T on 2008-07-31
  In my opinion. this is the best DVD from Ringo and his All Starr Band yet. One of the big reasons for that is the fact that this is a complete show. Previous All Starr Band DVD releases were incomplete. Another big reason for the high quality of this DVD is that this band really cooks. I have never been a big fan of Richard Marx or Billy Squier, but I must admit that this 2006 All Starr lineup is a very definite improvement over the 2003 lineup with John Waite and Paul Carrack.
  There are numerous musical highlights on this DVD. Be sure to check out the way the whole band rocks out on Marx's "Should've Known Better." I never thought of this song, or any Richard Marx song, as a rocker. But the whole band really burns on this one.
  All in all, a terrific show that's well preserved on this DVD. Enjoy!

  Totally Marvelous, a great group of rockers, absolutely fantastic!!
  Normally I dont like those interviews in between songs, but with this lineup, its a very nice fit.
  
  Hope the 2008 All Stars go to DVD too.
  
  

• Excellent!

  This DVD is amazing. I was there the night that it was filmed and it is just as wonderful as I remember it being. Each member of the band is an incredible musician and the solo spots are great. The interviews, although I anticipated that they would be distracting and possibly even annoying, are very entertaining and add a lot.
  This is a must have for any Beatle fan.
  
  
• Ringo still has the magic!
  By A3KYO74Y8YZ30O on 2008-08-08
  I have been waiting for Ringo to release a DVD with his all staar band. On this DVD he delivers the goods.
  His allstaars are Richard Marx, Rod Argent (Zombies),Sheila E. (Prince), Billy Squire, Edgar Winter and
  Hamish Stuart. The DVD contains 27 songs. You get great music, outstanding production, awesome
  sound and video quality. If you like Ringo, you will really like his allstaar band. The song selection could
  not be better, hits ranging from It Don't Come Easy to Free Ride, Time of the Season, to Yellow Submarine.
  It is a great DVD. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.
  
  
• Great show, too many interruptions - worth 4.5 stars
  By A3FJD46GXG7LPM on 2008-08-10
  This is an excellent show by Ringo and his band. The video and sound quality are excellent. My only complaint, and I have this issue with several concert DVD's, is that the show is continually interrupted between songs for interview segments. Almost every song in this show has an interview segment following it. These should be left out of the show so that it can be enjoyed without interruption. Overall, I'd give this show 4.5 stars if I could.
  
  
• AWESOME

• Fantastic
  By A231RTBZK36GHD on 2008-07-09
  This is how a concert should look on dvd. Unlike Sir Paul's concert dvd's, they only change the camera angles every 30 seconds, as opposed to every .03 seconds. Though it was lacking all the nice breast shots that are on Macca's. Only minor gripe is that there is a brief interview segment between every song. On the plus side, it looks like they included the entire show, 26 songs worth, even including the solo spots. Was also impressed at how good a guitarist Billy Squire is. A must have.
  
  
• A fun DVD with great music
  By A1P76LW2G40S7Q on 2008-07-30
  I found this lineup of all stars surprisingly good. The songs were tight and diverse. A really enjoyable DVD to watch. As a big Ringo fan, this was fun. And great music
  
  
• outstanding show!!
  By A11SX81310SUP5 on 2008-07-31
  An easy 5-star rating here. The sound and picture quality is excellent. I'm very glad this got released on DVD. If you are a fan of classic and/or 80's rock, this is a must-have. The extras are especially interesting and depict the positive cohesiveness of the band. Well worth the money. Enjoy!!!

• ...with great help from his friends...!
  By A3JFCXMIXZ8BTA on 2008-08-26
  I own and have watched all the Ringo Starr All Starr Band DVDs but this one is just about the best. Sheila E. again is present as the companion drummer and she does "Glamorous Life" again but that doesn't get old or commonplace. She is dynamic and can play with the best of them - as Edgar Winter found out. He is the one who stole the show. His ballad, "Dying to Live" is sung to pull heartstrings while he solos at the keyboard. Later in the program he staps on the keyboard for "Frankenstein" then plays sax, timbales then back to the keyboard for the finish; drumming courtesy of Sheila E. The in-between spots with all the performers add humor and insight to the tour and to the people involved. Ringo freely admits "see you later, peace and love!" when it came to drumming the monster...
  Rog Argent delivers also with "Hold Your Head Up" and two Zombies classics that are reworked with help from the other headliners.
  Billy Squire is the lead guitarist this time around and he handles all that is performed with taste and style.
  Richard Marx is the star(r) struck one of the bunch but his voice has matured with the years and after so many years of not hearing his songs I was surprised at how good they sound and have held up.
  This is a very excellent DVD for not only post Beatle fans, Ringo fans - but music fans. Because of the company he keeps Ringo can present a traveling show of respected musicians and record them sonically and visually for the rest of us.
  Speaking of sonic, this is and has been Ringo's time to shine as a drummer of merit. As a Beatle, the sound equipment just was not there. Since he has been an All-Starr the technology has finally caught up to him.
  Peace and Love!
  
  
• Some Great Performances
  By AWPODHOB4GFWL on 2008-10-09
  With twenty-six songs in surround sound, the sound is perfect for displaying the oldies live like you've never heard them before. Rod Argent plays his very oldie, `She's Not There" with a near perfect rendition. Of course, he also supplies the seventies monster hit, "Hold Your Head Up", a completely different style of music. Sheila E. gets her kicks in frequently as a super-percussionist, teaming up with and sometimes replacing Ringo Starr on drums. Her, "The Glamorous Life" is a nice powerful performance with a great finale. Billy Squire who has never really been a huge hit, performs very, very well with his signature songs, "Everybody Wants You" and "Rock Me Tonight", obviously relishing every piece he shares intimately wit the audience. My favorite has to be the wild and weird Edgar Winter who does a great job on, `Free Ride", but brings the house down with his wild rendition of, "Frankenstein, playing both keyboards, saxophone and a duel percussion with Sheila E. To watch this giant guy recreate that classic song with all the special effects and synthesizes is worth the DVD alone. Sheila E. does a great powerhouse job on the drum solo as well as playing duel percussion with Winter. Multi-talented Richard Marx and Hamish Stuart round out the band playing on nearly every song. Of course, Ringo Starr gets his famous songs in, like, `Photograph", "Yellow Submarine" and A little Help From My Friends" and more. The only drawback is the frequent interruptions with interviews from each of the musicians and Ringo Starr, but the music makes up for that minor inconvenience.
