Without question, the Beatles are the greatest band ever to roam the earth. Decades later, the surviving group members are still very much in demand as solo artists, even Ringo Starr. While he was arguably the most overlooked member of the Fab Four, Starr has put together an impressive solo career. Even as a former drummer in his 80s, there is still a huge demand to see Starr whenever and wherever he performs live. For some fans, he’s their favorite Beatle and one of their last chances for real-life Beatles nostalgia. However, Starr is also a great solo artist and performer who is fantastic to see live for any music lover.

More Than a Drummer

For some, Ringo Starr will always be the drummer of the Beatles. Just the guy who sat in the back behind John, Paul, and George. But the truth is that he’s always been more than just a good drummer. Starr almost always sang lead vocals on at least one song on every Beatles album. Also, most people don’t realize that he also help to write several of the band’s hits. When the Beatles had their unceremonious breakup, Starr was equipped to find success as a solo artist, which is exactly what he did. He produced plenty of hits on his own and was eventually put into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist, cementing his legacy as more than just a drummer and more than just a Beatle.

A Half Century of Music

Every Ringo Starr concert is essentially a history lesson and a journey for music lovers. Of course, he’ll mix in some old Beatles tunes into the setlist because he knows the fans will love them. But Starr has also released 20-plus solo albums over a 50-year solo career. Starr has a never-ending list of songs in his repertoire that he can play during a show, including his biggest solo hits. Fans never know what long-lost gem they might uncover during Starr’s concerts in addition to hearing all of the hits they’ve come to know and love. It’s what makes every Ringo Starr concert a must-see event for everyone who is a fan of his, a fan of the Beatles, and just a fan of good music.
