RINGO STARR AND HIS ALL - STARR BAND : LIVE IN COPENHAGEN, DENMARK, EUROPEAN TOUR '92, 18th JULY '92

RINGO STARR AND HIS ALL - STARR BAND : LIVE IN COPENHAGEN, DENMARK. EUROPEAN TOUR '92, 18th JULY '92.  Normally I don't make it a habit to buy bootleg albums but this is a bootleg album. You can't find any information on it from the Internet at all. I was conned into accepting this album because I was supposed to make an exchange with another Beatles fans but his selfishness made him trade this rather than the one I really wanted and one that we've agreed on, which he have two too. Anyway, aAll Starr Band which was a great success and gives him and the has-beens a new lease of life musically. Personally I think he should approached his studio recordings this way.
s expected, the recording wasn't that great but as a live album, I think Ringo did much better than his studio albums, mainly 'cos he don't have to carry the whole show by himself. There are lots of varieties of oldies acts to be found in his

DISC 1 :

Pre Show Noise : A bit of guitar twirling and drumming and the shows underway to a rousing start.....

I'm The Greatest ( Lennon ) - Ringo Starr : Always loved this John Lennon penned classic. Performed to almost the same as the album note by note except for the notable missing of the other two Beatles. Only let down is the uneven sounds.

No No Song ( Axton / Jackson ) - Ringo Starr : Ringo couldn't go wrong with this classic and this is also one song that he can't NOT perform. The crowds wouldn't let him be.

No Time ( Cummings / Bachman ) - Burton Cummings : Former Guess Who's front man Burton Cummings on this rocker. Never heard this before but it is a good track and nicely performed.

Girls Talk ( Costello ) - Dave Edmunds : Another fine track that I have never heard before. If this trench is continued, Ringo could be in danger of being over shadowed.

Rocky Mountain Way ( Walsh / Grace / Passarelli / Vitale ) - Joe Walsh : Joe's turn to shine and shine he did with his hoarse vocal and  at the mid instrumental part where he let his guitar did the singing via his talk box. Awesome.

I Can't Tell You Why ( Schmit / Henley / Frey ) - Timothy B. Schmit : This was done almost to a T to the original Eagles version except for a slightly longer fade out. Not really my favourite Eagles song but here, it's makes a nice varieties.

Shine Silently ( Lofgren / Wagner ) - Nils Lofgren : As the title implied, this is a softer moment. A change of pace but a nice change nevertheless.


Bang The Drum All Day ( Rundgren ) - Todd Rundgren : A fun track as Todd Rundgren incited the audience to clap and join along. Ringo should have done this as drumming was his business.

Don't Go Where The Road Don't Go ( Starkey / Warman / Grainger ) - Ringo Starr : Good as the song may be but people included yours, truly really preferred hearing Ringo singing his Beatles' or his early solo hits. Well, you can't really please all I supposed. Still, the pace matched the earlier rockers.

Yellow Submarine ( Lennon / McCartney ) - Ringo Starr : This Beatles classic is performed with the willing anticipation of the audience making it like a carnival affairs. It is moment like this that makes going to a live show worth every cents..

Lady Madonna ( Lennon / McCartney ) - Dave Edmunds : This could have been a good instrumental version of this classic but the bad and uneven recording prevents it. A pity 'cos there were great anticipation for this judging from the audience's reaction to the intro. During the performance, the audiences were so attentive and quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Incredible.

One World ( Rundgren / Powell / Kasim / Wilcox ) - Todd Rundgren : A softer moment from this powerhouse performer. Not exactly a nice tune but his performance is noteworthy.

Keep On Trying - Timothy B. Schmit :  I have to admit that I was actually about to write off this track by this ex Eagles man but his enthusiasm and the audiences participating and clapping won me over.

DISC 2 :

Wiggle ( Capello ) - Tim Capello :  This fine almost instrumental track is better than the slight vocal on this track. The guitars and trumpets here are awesome.

Black Maria ( Rundgren ) - Todd Rundgren : Clearly Todd Rundgren is one of the highlight performers here other than Ringo. His songs and his delivery of them somehow have that special something that lift them out of the average or at least to me. The guitar solo is great.

In The City ( Walsh / DeVorzon ) - Joe Walsh : Another ex Eagles doing an Eagles song. Again not my favorite Eagles song but he stayed faithful to the original. Wish he would do 'Those Shoes.'

Introducing Band Members - Ringo Starr : Ringo introducing the band members.

You're Sixteen ( Sherman / Sherman ) - Ringo Starr : One of Ringo most popular hit which he doesn't sing nowadays now that he is in his 70's, which is a shame but which also cannot be help for a man in his 70s singing about his longing for a teenage girl would be hard to take anyhow.

Weight Of The World ( O' Doherty / Velez ) - Ringo Starr : Another track from his last album, "Time Takes Time," which was also his single at this time. Done in the same as on the album. Actually quite a good track but sadly, it would takes a miracle to return Ringo to the chart.

Wanted Man - Nils Lofgren : An track with extreme drumming backing. Wonders if it's done with Ringo in mind. A track to rival Todd Rundgren's 'Bang The Drum All Day,' earlier in the set.

I Hear You Knocking ( Bartholomew / King ) - Dave Edmunds : First heard this when I was  an impressible young boy, still wet between the ears and the first time I've heard the name Dave Edmunds. Sounds pretty much the same as the first time I heard it. Wasn't much impressed by it then but I am impressed now. More than 40 years late but still, better late than never.

American Woman ( Bachman / Cummings / Peterson / Cale ) - Burton Cummings : Yet another song that I've heard when I was young by The Guess Who but I remember it as a fast pace noisy rocker that I don't really like. I don't really remember the slow intro but I guess it works in a live setting. Don't like it then but I like it now and I find it awesome. Guess time changes people and their taste too.

Boys ( Dixon / Farrell ) - Ringo Starr : Not one of my favorite non Beatles composed song but Ringo usually drives the audiences wild with this track and  he is still doing it even after all these year. I actually like this more than The Beatles version with a prolong instrumental bridge.

Photograph ( Starkey / Harrison ) - Ringo Starr : You got to hand it to Ringo. He sure knows how to drive the audiences up to a frenzy before he starts on this, his finest solo single, done almost to perfection.

Act Naturally ( Russell / Morrison ) - Ringo Starr : I have always love this track from the "Help!" album and Ringo didn't disappoint either.Fun filled and infectious, Ringo dedicates this song to all the cowboys and cowgirls in the audiences. This one will have you on your feet.

With A Little Help From My Friends ( Lennon / McCartney ) - Ringo Starr : The quintessential Ringo Starr song that Ringo couldn't get away without singing. This one as expected have all the audiences singing and clapping along.

DOP : Unknown.
