4.0 out of 5 stars Deluxe Edition includes DVD, April 15, 2009

The Live At Soundstage Deluxe Edition contains the same CD as the regular edition plus a DVD containg interviews and four live performances. For some reason, Amazon does not make this clear. And, oddly enough, the Deluxe Edition now costs a dollar less on Amazon that the regular edition! If you don't already own the regular edition, then this is a really good deal. Even if you already own the regular edition, you may want this one for the DVD extras. The performances by Ringo and the Roundheads are tighter than his live work with the All-Starr Bands. See the reviews of the regular edition for details on the music. It's a fun set to own.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ringo's Finest Live Album Thus Far!, October 24, 2007

After three spins, I'd say Live At Soundstage ranks as Ringo's finest live CD to date. On the plus side, it features nothing but solo Ringo & some of his Beatles material, unlike his star-studded all-starr band albums. It also isn't marred by long story introductions, which was the point of the equally fine VH1 Storytellers disc (great stories...you just don't want to hear them each time you play the CD).

The only negative I can think of is they cut a fine live version of Ringo's Give Me Back The Beat, one of Choose Love's (2005) highlights. I also wish he'd treat us to more of his always fine drum work. He does pick up the sticks on Choose Love, Back Off Boogaloo & Boys at least.

That said, you get GREAT performances of Octopus's Garden, I'm The Greatest, Don't Pass Me By, Never Without You and Choose Love. In fact, the whole set is filled with energetic live versions that are faithful to the studio recordings. It's a fun CD I'm sure I'll return to again and again.

1.0 out of 5 stars Ringo Soundstage Not The Full Show, October 25, 2007

By 

RJM Music Man "RJM Music Man" (Philadelphia, Pa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Live At Soundstage (Audio CD)

I only gave this one star because it does not represent the entire show. If you go to the PBS website and look at the track listing you will see two listings: One of which was shown on TV and the other is the full show. This collection is the shorter of the two, thus making this incomplete. You would think that if they would go through the trouble of putting this out that the whole show would be included. Also note that these songs don't even match what was shown on TV. You must go to the PBS website to compare. This was a great show that no one will ever see in it's entirety!
