Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band Volume 2: Live From Montreux - Live and Content

Live and Content

Starr was once again supported by his All-Starr Band, but this time the celebrity guests within was shuffled somewhat. Retained from his 1989/1990 inaugural jaunt were Joe Walsh and Nils Lofgren, while newcomers were Burton Cummings, Timothy B. Schmit, Dave Edmunds, Todd Rundgren, Tim Cappello on sax and Starr's own son, Zak Starkey on drums.

While Starr performed new material from Time Takes Time, he mostly centered on his Beatles standards on this outing, namely "Yellow Submarine", "With A Little Help From My Friends" and his cover of The Shirelles' "Boys", which had been featured on The Beatles' 1963 debut album, Please Please Me. The members of his All-Starr Band also had solo moments throughout the live recording.

Famous quotes containing the words live and, live and/or content:

    by and by, the cause of my disease
    Gives me a pang that inwardly doth sting,
    When that I think what grief it is again
    To live and lack the thing should rid my pain.
    Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)

    Those who live by the sea can hardly form a single thought of which the sea would not be part.
    Hermann Broch (1886–1951)

    You can hardly convince a man of an error in a life-time, but must content yourself with the reflection that the progress of science is slow. If he is not convinced, his grandchildren may be. The geologists tell us that it took one hundred years to prove that fossils are organic, and one hundred and fifty more to prove that they are not to be referred to the Noachian deluge.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
