This is another example of Ringo Starr at his best. He's still playing the drums and singing after all these years. Long live Ringo Starr and his legacy!

My grandma bought tickets to the Ringo Starr concert here in Spokane. So she and I are going to go. I saw rain which is a cover band of the beatles. But my grandma saw the real beatles when she was my age. Then she and my grandpa saw Paul McCartney and wings in concert in about 1990 or so. but now I get to see the one and only Ringo Starr in concert. It will be PHENOMENAL and the best day of my life.

@pelgervampireduck

wings didn't exist anymore since 1980. the 1990 band was not wings, it was just paul mccartney and his touring band, (hamish stuart and robbie mcintosh on guitars, wix wickens on keyboards and chris witten on drums. wix wickens still is his keyboardist). that tour was good, I love the album "tripping the live fantastic" and the video "get back" that came out of it.
