Beatle RINGO STARR turned 85 two days ago. But no pension yet
for the V-sign drummer. At the start of the year, he released Look Up,
his 21st solo album.

And he’ll play a handful of concerts (with 6 in Las Vegas) again with
his All Starr Band, a touring project he started in 1989, with alternating,
extensive line-ups featuring rock luminaries such as Dr. John, Rick Danko,
Billy Preston, Jim Keltner, Peter Frampton, Jake Bruce, Edgar Winter and
many more.

His mate and former fabulous James Gang/Eagles guitarist, Joe Walsh
who also released 12 studio albums, was a regular member of Starr‘s
celebs orchestra.

See/hear them all play Walsh‘s best-known solo track
Rocky Mountain Way in 1989 at the Greek Theatre in
Berkeley, California.

Electrifying!
