My friend Jennifer was at the concert in Nashville tonight (3rd row front & center) and took this photo of him wearing the medal.

Thanks for the picture. He is in Atlanta Wednesday night. Anyone going?

@john-mackintosh I live near Atlanta, but no, not going. Too many other expenses this year: Beatleweek in Liverpool, 50th h.s. reunion up in Ohio and Flower Power cruise next March (pay for it each month this year)

I am in the Atlanta area and know what you mean about extra expenses. From what I have read, his shows aren’t selling out and attendance is poor which might mean it’s the end of the road. The problem of not being able to sell recorded music as Ringo did in the 1970s is hitting his ticket sales. Us baby boomers aren’t getting any younger.

I still buy his CDs. Have his latest EP on pre-order with Amazon. (“Rewind Forward”)

@njr Haven’t ordered it yet, doesn’t it have a song he did with Paul? I may try to make the Wednesday night’s show as I don’t mind a mind a musical trip back to the 1970s. Bout the only way left to sort of get back there.

Yes, Paul is on one of the songs (Feeling the Sunlight) and he also wrote it.

@njr Thanks, definitely want to hear that.

Saw Ringo at his Atlanta show at theFox Theatre. His past with the Beatles was well represented—Act Naturally, I Wanna BeYou Man, Boys, What Goes On, Yellow Submarine. Especially enjoyed Octupus Garden off Abbey Road. Solo numbers included It Don’t Come Easy, Back Off Bugaloo, and he also did I’m The Greatest after introducing it with noting that Lennon wrote it for him. He saved With a Little Help From My Friends to the end and wrapping up with the chorus of Give Peace a Chance. Full house

Rick Glover posted a bunch of pics on FB of the concert. Glad you went. I last saw Ringo at Chastain Park (Rick was there too & we talked) in 1997! He used to live in the Atlanta area. We first met in 1982 at a 40th birthday party for Paul given by Beatlefan magazine at their office in Decatur, GA!

I will have to look at his Facebook page. I have only seen Ringo two times prior to Atlanta. I really liked his 1992 tour when he was doing that great song “Weight of the World” as it was his current single at that time. Sadly, it has sunk into musical obscurity.
