Another good Ringo All Star Band performing on July 15, 2012 at McMenamin's Edgefield Amphitheater, featuring Todd Rundgren on two songs (I left out Bang The Drum). Front row crowd bumps and a few wobbles here and there but a darned fine performance by all and enjoyed by Rundgrenites, Kate and Nancy in the first row. BTW, guitar man Steve Lukather kills!
The songs are BMI Works #676201; Earmark Music Inc. & SCREEN GEMS-EMI MUSIC INC and #919918 by Earmark Music Inc. & Fiction Music, Inc., written by Todd Harry Rundgren (CAE/IPI #41293995.)

Janelle Etsitty Janelle, 50's, 60's 70's 80's all distinctive music periods. 40's also. My father played with Tommy Dorsey. Music now no distinc time. listen to music of the 80's you know it's from the 80's. Now nothing, not that there isn't talent, just kinda lost sounds...I think it reflects the lack of social consciousness of todys youth. WE cared more and it was reflected in the music, . I hear 40's music and it sounds like WW2.

Which song do you mean? I know when he was "RUNT" in 1969, he recorded the song "We Got To Get You a Woman" Todd did all Vocals and played all instruments. He's good like that. I learned the same from Paul McCartney, when he did his first solo album "MCCARTNEY" he played all instruments. Since I played a few instruments, Drums, Bass, Guitar, Bass, Keyboards, I bought a 4-track recorder back in the early 80's and did my own songs! So Cool! I didn't need my band members all the time 🤗

He not only raised her as his own child, even after he & her mother Bebe Buell split, he did so knowing who her bio father was, allowing her the time & decision to tell Liv herself. Even after Bebe told Liv Steven Tyler was her bio dad Todd has remained in her life as Dad with Steven. Pure class!!!

Ringo saw it, ran up to us & borrowed the hat while he pranced around the stage to "Help from my Friends". He ran it back up & high-fived us...It was awesome! That was one of the best concerts I ever saw & I'm glad I got to see the late John Entwistle & Billy Preston... may they RIP
