Devotees of the iconic rock band The Beatles were thrilled to revisit a lively performance by Ringo Starr from one of their earliest gigs.
This particular show harks back to the 1960s when the Fab Four embarked on their US tour. A cover song performed by the Liverpool quartet during this tour showcased Starr’s dynamic drumming, leaving fans in awe. Even today, at 84 years old, Starr continues to exude the same boundless energy on stage.
The Beatles’ rendition of Little Richard’s ‘Long Tall Sally’, featuring Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Starr, drew heaps of praise for the legendary drummer.
A post on X lauded the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer: “The best part about watching early Beatles concerts is the headbanging Ringo does at the end of Long Tall Sally going absolutely ham on the drums. Insane”.
Many regard this performance as one of the finest by The Beatles and Starr, often citing it when defending Starr’s enduring career. One user commented: “This is one of the best ones. Paul McCartney going pretty bonkers too.”
Another added: “The bow at the end, like sanity just returned.” A third chimed in: “Anytime someone s**ts on Ringo I always pull up footage of them playing this one. His triplets at the end are immaculate.”
Captivating footage of The Beatles’ iconic performance has resurfaced, leaving fans in awe of Ringo Starr’s enduring vitality on stage.
Recent videos of the 84-year-old drummer’s energetic performances at The Opry and various US venues have garnered widespread acclaim for his remarkable solo acts.
In January, Starr unveiled his latest studio album, Look Up, once again delighting music enthusiasts with his stage presence. As the mastermind behind hits like Yellow Submarine and The No No Song, Starr has been hailed as “unbelievable” following a viral video of his performance on X.
The legendary musician continues to tour, gracing esteemed stages such as the Grand Ole Opry House just last month.
This iconic venue has hosted songwriting legends like Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash, and Starr’s performance there was a testament to his enduring legacy.
Fans were quick to express their admiration, with one writing: “Ringo Starr at 84-years-old. Unbelievable.”
Those who had previously attended his live shows were thrilled to see him still going strong. Another user shared: “I caught him and the All-Starr Band in November 2023, and he was absolutely fantastic.”
The fan continued: “One of the best shows I’ve ever seen (I mean, Edgar Winter! Come on! ) and that’s saying something as I’ve seen a lot. I regret not making the effort to see him in earlier years.”
