Ep. 132 | Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band (1990) Part 1

The Traveling Wilburys were all right, even if they say you're wrong (#JulianLennon). But sometimes you gotta be strong and make the claim that they were only the 2nd best solo Beatle supergroup of the 80's.

#1? Obviously, it's Paul, Linda, and Eric Stewart! Ringo and his first All Starr Band!

Ok maybe that's a stretch. But as the 1990 tour LP & video show, they were a damn fine band, with a strangely cohesive line up of rock legends that Ringo would never again replicate.

This week, the UBP gets really serious (angry  fan: "DAT'S VOLUME TOO!") about this great record and also ask:

 Did Keef get beef in his teef doing Improv Warmup Wednesdays at Kenny Rogers Roasters?

 Is Tony the UBP's Joel Whitburn, which is a sick reference for those of you who are familiar with longtime Billboard chart historian Joel Whitburn?

Was the All Starr Band promoter experienced at novelty concerts, or more of a Fishof out of water?
