From the Buffalo News:
“One of the two surviving members of the world’s most famous rock band today offered a medley of some of the songs his All-Starr Band will perform Thursday when it begins its 2008 concert tour at the Fallsview Casino Resort.
Ringo Starr began with a reflective piece from his newest album, “Liverpool 8,” and how destiny pulled him from his hometown roots. He then jumped into a snippet from one of his most recognizable Beatles songs, “With a Little Help From My Friends.”
Ringo and the other six members of the touring band, all rock ‘n’ roll luminaries in their own right, have rehearsed since June 7 in the Avalon Ballroom at the Fallsview Casino. They have a two-night run there for their tour kickoff.”
