McCartney Times

In a way, it’s fitting that Ringo Starr‘s first-ever concert recording would find him working with a deeply talented and genre-jumping group of collaborators. After all, he’d risen to fame at the drums with the Beatles, a similarly category-defying and hit-making group.What was surprising about Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band, which arrived on Oct. 8, 1990, was how long it had taken him to release a live album. Even a two-year period in the ’70s when Starr put out a pair of Top 10 albums in Ringo and Goodnight Vienna hadn’t prompted a globe-trotting tour and the obligatory live document. Instead, Starr saw his music career drift in the ’80s as he focused on acting and battled some personal issues.
