Did the "special guests" materialize?
Nope. Ringo, Jeff Lynne and Joe Walsh were there, but did not appear on stage.
I don't mean to cast doubt on your comment, but are you saying that Ringo was in the audience? I was sitting in section E, right by the aisle, and I was watching like a hawk as the VIPs started coming in at 8:20. They were easy to spot because they were all escorted by security. I saw Joe Walsh, Jeff Lynne, and Kanye West. I didn't see Ringo. Of course, I could have easily missed him in the confusion, or he could have come in another way, or he was simply been backstage. Anyone else see him? Any other sources report he was there?
