Yeah
well, there are many different opinions about the Beatles. For many people
they are the greatest Rockband every existed, for others the Fab Four are
almost forgotten by now. Well for me myself, the Beatles have never been
the best, or the greatest rockband, but back in their haydays they were
revolutoneers and have set new trends and waves, and this with songs,
which were rather simple in the beginning.and not the top of Rock'n'Roll
art. Later on then, the Beatles showed their whole potential with albums
such as 'Revolver' or the 'White Album'. Since
quite some years Ringo is gathering with some first class musicians to
tour around the globe as Ringo Starr's Allstar Band. And here we are again
- live in Munich, where the Ex-Beatles is hitting the stage with Edgar
Winter, Rick Derringer, (The McCoys) Gary
Wright, (Spooky Tooth) Wally
Palmar (The Romantics), Richard
Page (Mister Mister) and Drummer Gregg Bissonette. I presume, I don't have
to introduce these guys to you specialists out there. When you
look at Ringo himself you think: what, this guy is supposed to be 71 years
of age now...? Never!!!! But he is indeed, though you give him only about
55 - the most, thanks to his slim shape and his obvious fitness and aura.
Ringo has got controll over the whole place from the first minute and the
atmosphere in here is simply brilliant. In addition to that, Edgar Winter
is delivering a bombastic 'Frankenstein' |
Every piece
of music sounds fresh and renewed. And there we are at the point, where
I start panicing a bit concerning the question: what, when all those
great musicians are gone in maybe 10 or 15 years or so?! What will be
left in this fast living industry. Long talk short sense, this here is a real great movie with a huge entertaining level. |
This Party couldn't be
any better,and the enthusiasm is infecting everybody in here. The nicest
thing is, that none of all this music legends including Ringo himself
seem like superstars but rather as the nice normal guy from next door,
who wants to play a tennis match with you. And I presume that's the
magic recepie, that makes Ring & Co so luvable... The party is
finished once in a sudden with John Lennon's 'Give Peace A Chance' - and
that's it without any encore (no need, as showtime has been for more
than 2 hours anyway) |
