rs-starr-v2-2c2cf167-1a32-447d-981b-4d234b71a89eLater this week Ringo Starr will release his 19th solo studio album, Give More Love, and to mark the occasion we’re bringing you a concert by Ringo and his All-Starr Band (above) and an audio only video of a preview song, “We’re On The Road Again.”

In the above video, Ringo’s All-Starr Band included Walsh, Dr. John, Clarence Clemons, Nils Lofgrin, Levon Helm, Billy Preston and more.  This is the very first incarnation of the All-Starr Band, from 1989, and that’s why there are so many dearly-departed musicians on hand. In October Ringo will begin a short tour with his current All-Starr Band, which includes Todd Rundgren, as well as members of Toto, Mr. Mister, Journey and Kansas.

Give More Love features his old bandmate, Paul McCartney, along with his brother-in-law Joe Walsh (both of whom can be heard on the preview song) and frequent collaborators Dave Stewart and Gary Nicholson, plus members of Ringo’s All-Starr Band. You can hear the lead song here…

And as a bonus, here’s Ringo performing with Green Day…
