So what did Ringo do????
Ringo: Drums & Vocals.

A typical Ringo All-Starr Band show would consist of Ringo singing the first few songs (a couple of his Beatle songs & one of his solo hits) then he would go behind the drums as each member of the band would do one of their most famous songs (or their band's most famous song), there'd be an intermission, then they'd do another lap around the band with each member playing another of their most famous songs, then it would end with Ringo coming out front from behind the drums to lead the sing-a-long with "Yellow Submarine" & "With A Little Help From My Friends"...and that would be it. A fun time.

Considering who he's gotten to be in his band at any particular time, it makes a pretty eclectic set list. But, always great performances!

Some of the All-Starr Band alumni:

Jack Bruce (Cream)
John Entwistle (The Who)
Joe Walsh (James Gang, Eagles)
Timothy B Schmit (Poco, Eagles)
Ian Hunter (Mott The Hoople)
Greg Lake (King Crimson, ELP)
John Waite (The Babys)
Peter Frampton (Humble Pie)
Mark Farner (Grand Funk Railroad)
Randy Bachman (BTO, Guess Who)
Dr John
Billy Preston
Dave Edmunds (Rockpile)
Nick Lowe (Rockpile)
Zak Starkey (Oasis, The Who)
Rick Danko (The Band)
Levon Helm (The Band)
Nils Lofgren (Grin, E Street Band)
Clarence Cleamons (E Street Band)
Sheila E (Prince)
Colin Hay (Men At Work)
Burton Cummings (Guess Who)
Howard Jones
Billy Squier
Felix Cavaliere (Young Rascals, The Rascals)
Gary Brooker (Procol Harum, Eric Clapton Band)
Simon Kirke (Free, Bad Company)
Eric Carmen (The Raspberries)
Roger Hodgson (Supertramp)
Paul Carrack (Ace, Squeeze, Mike & The Mechanics)
Edgar Winter
Richard Marx
Rod Argent (The Zombies, Argent)
Rick Derringer (Johnny Winter And, The McCoys)
Gary Wright (Spooky Tooth)
Hamish Stuart (Average White Band, Paul McCartney Band)
Wally Palmer (The Romantics)
Jim Keltner (Traveling Wilburys)

And over the years, a few occasional "last minute guest cameos" dropped by for a jam or two:
Bruce Springsteen
Garth Hudson (The Band)
Ginger Baker (Cream)
Ray Davies (The Kinks)
Andy Summers (The Police)
Harry Nilsson (his last public performance was with the All-Starr Band)
