3.0 out of 5 stars
Strong ***, July 27, 2009
This review is from: Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band, Vol. 2 (Audio CD)
Highlights are from Todd Rundgren, Dave Edmunds, Burton Cummings and Ringo on just rwo songs, "I'm The Greatrest" and "Don't Go Where The Road Don't Go", a sure-fire shoulda-been Top 40 Rocker.
Yes, the band is superb, but strangely can't rescue some tired vocals from the Starr himself, doing drunk Brother-In-Law at the barbeque renditions of legendary tunes.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Live Performance By Sir Richard Starkey, MBE, September 12, 2000
This review is from: Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band, Vol. 2 (Audio CD)
Since his generally Ho-Hum years of the 80's, Sir Richard has come out with some solid performances: "Vertical Man," "VH1 Story Tellers," "I Wanna Be Santa Claus," and this gem. Honestly, Ringo should have done this a lot earlier in his career. Without a doubt, he would have made a killing. But, then again, better late than never.
On this live performance -- one of the most successful in the 1990's -- Ringo is joined by some of the best in the business: Joe Walsh, Burton Cummings, Dave Edmunds, etc. The music on this live performance is electrically solid.
This is a good, old-fashioned concert. . . . good music and loads of fun. The "Star(r)s" really enjoyed themselves on-stage. This contributed to the excitement, high energy, and enjoyment of this highly successful tour. I guarantee that your ears will be glued to your system -- from the "Really Serious Introduction" to the "WALHFMF" Grand Finale. Without a single doubt, Ringo and his "All Stars" never sounded better. I only regret that I wasn't there to see this live and in person (of course, being stationed in Korea has its limitations).
This CD is well worth owning. It is simply GREAT.
Terrific Music. . . . High Energy. . . . . Loads of fun. Where can you go wrong. Buy it today!!!!

Great CD, docked two stars for..., August 6, 2001

This review is from: Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band, Vol. 2 (Audio CD)
...the worst and most insulting liner notes in the history of recorded music. Every member of the All-Starr band from '92 is a great musician, but you'd never know from these wise-guy, unfunny liner notes. These musicians deserve better, Ringo deserved better, and you deserve better.
