I wish I had the cash to go and see this. I love Ringo. I've been a Beatles fan since I was 5 years old. My Dad took me to see them when I was 6 years old at the (now torn down) Atlanta Stadium. You could barely hear them over all the screaming.

I'll be going soon as well! Sometimes it pays to live in LA, whereas most of the time we pay to live in LA.
Oh yeah... I'm so there. Being three to four hours north (traffic) is nothing for this. Being retired means I can go during the week!
I also watched them on Ed Sullivan. My dad thought I was nuts, playing air drums while sitting on the floor in front of the TV. Bowing
I can't understand for the life of me what anyone thinks was so great about ringo... he was NOTHING compared to the greatness of Hal Blaine, Earl Palmer and Sandy Nelson, those dudes played on the greatest records ever made, period.

You are right, but tastes differ, especially when you are talking about popular music, Hal is the man but most of the pop songs he did were nothing incredible. On Beatles songs like " in my life" you can tell they wanted less drums, I believe Ringo was the choice over Pete because of his go with the flow attitude. To this day when asked about Yoko or anything controversial, Ringo never talks crap, never rocks the boat, and he never blows his own horn.
It's us fanboys that put him on a pedestal.
I can think of a lot of drummers who could take a page or two from Ringo on how to be a little more humble.

You forgot Dennis Wilson!Falling Do
Nice pics, thanks. Kookadams, sit down and learn every drum part correctly on the Revolver album or any of those in that time and you will appreciate Ringo more than you ever imagined.

You are so right, sir!!! I think that the key word in your reply may have been, "correctly". It's always easy for others to criticize if they have never accomplished the task themselves.

"most of what he did were nothing incredible"???? that is one of the dumbest things anyone's ever said on this board. The songs Hal Blaine played on were head and shoulders above anything ringo did. The songs speak for themselves. I must have read that wrong but its pretty asinine.
No no no Travis Barker is king of the skins have you not heard !!!Keep on Pl
