Ringo Starr/All-Starr Band: Colin Hay (vocals, guitar); Paul Carrack (vocals, keyboard); John Waite (vocals, bass instrument); Sheila E. (vocals, drums, percussion); Mark Rivera (saxophone).

Ringo Starr began touring with his ever-changing All-Starr Band in 1989, and the concept has helped to revitalize not only the ex-Beatle's career but those of the famous players with which he surrounds himself, performing both Starr's hits and those of his bandmates. Initially, he worked with artists whose greatest fame came in the '60s and '70s. However, by 2003, '80s nostalgia was on the menu, and Colin Hay (Men at Work), Paul Carrack (Squeeze, Mike & the Mechanics), John Waite (The Babys, Bad English), and Shelia E. (Prince and solo) were on the stage.

It's no surprise that Starr's Beatles hits and solo smashes are delivered with the easy amiability that's endeared him to audiences since the '60s. More unexpected is the fact that lone guitarist Hay, who was merely the rhythm guitarist in Men at Work, is able to hold up his end on everything from the rockabilly of "Honey Don't" to Sheila E.'s punchy R&B/pop hits "Love Bizarre" and "The Glamorous Life." The glossy '80s pop of Waite's ubiquitous solo hit "Missing You" and Mike & the Mechanics' "The Living Years" both benefit from the stripped-down approach here, and the all-hands-on-deck closer "With a Little Help From My Friends" exemplifies the musical camaraderie that's at the heart of this venture.
