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.

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

@njr Thanks, definitely want to hear that.

@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.

@njr

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.

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

@love2travel

Amen! Let me put my name on the waiting list as well. Here’s hoping for the nextArchives release in plenty of time for Christmas

@sanicholson Maybe his working with Peter Jackson is paying tour dividends to fans inNew Zealand and Australia. Enjoy!

Thank you. I never could find anything saying that the US publication date is October 19, so I wonder if it might come out here in early 2024 as they usually lag behind on coming out here, at least those in British history come out later as one would expect. Looks interesting.

@oobu24 it may just be a poster but it is a much better way to say you might be done than announcing it as those who do so oftentimes change their minds and get back out there on the road and it makes the entire “retirement” look like just a false clam to sell tickets. This way the door is always open for a tour or a random concert appearance. Plus, thinking way back to 1969 when I was in my teens years and the “Paul is Dead” yap started, a big part of it was fed by that famous photo of him, barefoot, walking across Abbey Road with his fellow Beatles. Maybe this a subtle linkage, bridging the decades.
