Live at the Greek Theatre 2008 documents the supporting tour for 2008’s
Liverpool 8, where
Ringo took
Billy Squier,
Edgar Winter,
Gary Wright,
Hamish Stuart, and
Colin Hay out on the road. Every one of these guys have toured with
Ringo before, so the feel is as familiar as the set list -- you know that
Ringo will sing “Act Naturally,” “Yellow Submarine,” “I Wanna Be Your Man,” “Photograph,” and “With a Little Help from My Friends,” you know that the supporting cast will serve up “The Stroke,” “Free Ride,” “Dream Weaver,” “Pick Up the Pieces,” and “Who Can It Be Now” -- and if there are no surprises, there’s an abundance of smooth professionalism that keeps things enjoyable.
