DVD Reviews of Ringo Starr & His All Starr Band Live 2006
DVD Review: An All-Starr best
Summary: 4 Stars
I must admit, I'm not one of those people who complains about having too many Ringo Starr All-Starr Band recordings. Having been to at least one show from each tour, I'm personally glad that each and every one of the nine tours prior to this year's is represented in some way. And I look forward to this year's being released soon, too.
In fact, I'd become a bit concerned there for a while that the 2006 tour would not be released, what with two years having already elapsed. But thankfully, it's finally out. I say thankfully because in my opinion, it was his best tour to date, with such a wealth of talent joining him. I actually considered this Ringo's best "supergroup" of All-Starrs.
Sheila E, as usual, was in fine form. No other drummer on any of Ringo's tours compares to her. She's just a "supercussionist." Edgar Winter brought the house down with "Free Ride" and "Frankenstein." Those performances alone were worth the price of admission. And Rod Argent gave amazing renditions of three of his own well-known compositions.
The only drawback to any of the '06 shows was the feeling that artists like Billy Squier, Richard Marx, and Hamish Stuart couldn't perform more from their great repertoires. In fact, Stuart merely appeared as a session player for this tour. (Mercifully, he was highlighted more this year with two songs, and Squier, also rejoining the band in '08, was able to perform a couple of songs he didn't do in '06.) Not enough can be said about either Squier nor Marx. As I say, these talents both have such lengthy lists of hits that either can perform whole shows of their own (and they do, on occasion, thank goodness).
As for the product itself, I do have some misgivings. Of note, the album of music is severely abridged. While still worthy, if one must choose between the DVD or the CD, I suggest the DVD.
At the same time, however, while the DVD is the unabridged performance from the Mohecan Sun in Connecticut, I feel that a better show could've been selected for the release. For instance, the finale show at Radio City would've been a perfect release. It's probable that there were legal reasons for it not being chosen, but still, I attended two other shows from this tour that I felt were superior to the one on this release. But I'm not complaining. Something is most assuredly better than nothing.
My only complaint about this video release is that, although every performance from the concert is represented, each and every performance is, for whatever reason, talked up with interviews before and after. Watching the concert on DVD makes one wonder why the interviews were not given their own separate tracking, for the concert becomes a stop-and-go list of performances, in their correct sequence yet not the fluid concert from beginning to end. That would be my primary complaint about this production (hence the 4-starr rating, instead of five).
Still, all in all, I'm glad it's been released, and anyone who is considering their first purchase of a Ringo Starr concert should go with this one. As great as they were, all other releases pale by comparison.
