"Tour 2003 - LIVE CONCERT AND BACKSTAGE DOCUMENTARY" DVD

BURBANK, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Aug 5, 2004 -- Warner Strategic Marketing announced today the release of the "Tour 2003 - LIVE CONCERT AND BACKSTAGE DOCUMENTARY" on DVD, September 21, 2004. The DVD features live performances by Ringo Starr and His 8th All Starr Band (Paul Carrack, Colin Hay, Sheila E., Mark Rivera, John Waite), taped at Casinorama in Toronto, Canada, and backstage documentary footage that was shot in Toronto & New York, and at the tour's end in San Diego -- all in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound.

Coming off his critically acclaimed "Ringo Rama" project (released March 2003), Ringo embarked on his 8th All Starr U.S. Tour during the summer of 2003. The New York Times has previously described the All Starr Band experience as: "...the living embodiment of that old fantasy about the great bands that must be jamming in heaven."

In this wonderfully playful and intimate portrait, filmed live over the summer of 2003, Ringo has drawn back the curtain, giving us an uncensored peek into this legendary performer's spontaneous, positive spirit, while creating a once in a lifetime backstage pass for the viewer to observe the special moments that exist between Ringo and the band.

A friend and I drove up to see this tour at NEXT STAGE in Grand Prairie, TX. It was well worth the four hour drive!! I have seen two other of Ringo's All Star Bands, the first had his son Zak on drums.

I will have to get this DVD, I have the cd "Ringo Rama", bought it at the show, it came with a dvd of Ringo and his band recording in the studio.
