Ringo Starr en Lima: La noche en que otro Beatle tocó en el Perú (VIDEO)

El rockero inglés ofreció un concierto especial donde ofreció varios buenos momentos de su carrera musical.

Lima. Ringo Starr es un Beatle, cualidad que sólo ostentan cuatro personas en el mundo. De ahí que podemos perdonarle todo, como haberse olvidado la introducción de “Don’t Pass Me By”, no involucrarse tanto con su All Starr Band, el grupo compuesto por superestrellas con el que llegó a Lima, y que por momentos sólo se dedicara a “sonsear” sentado en la batería, mientras sus compañeros se lucían asombrosamente frente a un público hambriento de nostalgia.

Es cierto, la cualidad de Ringo siempre ha sido componer las mejores baterías para las canciones de los Beatles (algo que nunca discutiremos) y ese enorme carisma que es su marca registrada desde que saltó a la fama. Anoche vimos muchísima gracia, sobre todo cuando cogía el micrófono para cantar frente al público, pero poco del Ringo apasionado que movía la cabeza mientras aporreaba sus tambores y del que todos nos enamoramos siendo chicos.

Obviamente los años no pasan en vano, el talento ya no es el mismo y Ringo Starr lo sabe muy bien. Por eso formó la All Starr Band, un conjunto formado por estrellas de la talla de Steve Lukather (Toto), Richard Page (Mr. Mister), Gregg Rolie (Santana), Todd Rundgren, Mark Rivera y Gregg Bissonette, con quienes hizo un breve repaso por algunas de las canciones que cantó con los Beatles, un poco menos de su catálogo solista y aquellos temas propios de sus invitados.

El punto alto fue, obviamente, las canciones que Ringo hizo con los fab four, como “Matchbox”, “Boys”, “Yellow Submarine”, “Honey Don’t”, “I Wanna be Your Man”, algunas más conocidas que otras, que inundaron el local de una gran nostalgia. Y es que uno cerraba los ojos y podía imaginar aquella magia surgida en Liverpool hace 50 años, en la Caverna, en Abbey Road, en cualquier escenario que Starr compartió con John, Paul y George. Algo histórico e inolvidable.

De ahí que las grandes emociones se sintieron con “Yellow Submarine” y “With a Little Help from My Friends”, acaso las dos canciones de los Beatles que fueron un éxito en la voz de Ringo. La primera incluyó los efectos de sonidos originales del disco y la segunda se usó para terminar el show, como tratando de recordarle al público que se trataba de un concierto de Ringo Starr con otros músicos y no al revés. Eso sí, en esos momentos teníamos al inglés como cantante y a Gregg Bissonette como el baterista principal.

También hubo espacio para el lucimiento musical, y no necesariamente del dueño de la fiesta, sino de sus acompañantes, comenzando por el espectacular talento de Steve Lukather, el eterno guitarrista de Toto, quien interpretó magistralmente “Rossana”, “Africa” y “Hold the Line”, clásicos de su antigua agrupación; así como “Evil Ways”, “Black Magic Woman” y “Oye como va”, poniéndose en la piel de Santana al lado del tecladista Gregg Rolie, con quien hacía una dupla perfecta. Fue en ambos sets donde Ringo se sentó en su batería a jugar con sus platillos y a ver cómo fluía todo, como sabiendo que él era quien mandaba y no le importaba si tocaba o no.

Hubo episodios de humor, como salidos de una escena de “A Hard Day’s Night”, cuando a Ringo “se le olvidó” la introducción en piano de “Don’t Pass Me By”, el tema que compuso para el “Álbum Blanco” de los Beatles. Fue divertido, desconcertante y hasta irónico ver a un Beatle equivocarse frente a miles de personas. Aunque él lo tomó deportivamente y siguió adelante, hasta llegar a “You Are Mine”, donde se sienta sobre un cajón peruano para acompañar el tema del guitarrista Richard Page, ex componente de Mr. Mister.

Como lo dijimos al inicio de este artículo, a Ringo Starr le perdonamos todo, incluso, que no haya tocado “Octopus’s Garden”, su mejor canción con los Beatles. Ya será para la próxima.

Beatles named and dated

Beatles named and dated
Heswall News
Nov 13 2013

A BEATLES fan has solved the mystery of the band’s change of name.
Ken Harrison – no relation to George – says he foundout when the Silver Beetles changed their name to become the Beatles.
Eagle-eyed Ken found the answer in Liscard’s Grosvenor Ballroom, as he looked though old newspaper cuttings from the Wallasey News hidden away in a drawer.
Ken now manages the building, where the Beatles regularly played in the 1960s.
He said: “It’s amazing what you find in old newspaper cuttings.
“These were just small advertisements in the paper which I happened to come across, but they say a lot about Beatles history.
“This proves they were called the Beatles and Silver Beetles before they went Germany.
“I’ve now enlarged the adverts and will be getting them framed to put on the wall.”
Fellow Beatles fan Robin Bird said: “Historians have said the Silver Beetles changed their name to the Beatles when they left for Hamburg on August 16, 1960 – starting a new chapter in their amazing musical career.
“However, from the old cuttings it is apparent the band changed their name before that date when they played at the Grosvenor Ballroom.
“On Whit Monday, June 6, 1960, ‘the fabulous Silver Beetles, direct from their tour with Jonny Gentle’ performed a double bill with Gerry and the Pacemakers.
“The following Saturday night the Grosvenor Ballroom advertised a ‘swing session featuring the sensational new group The Beatles’.
“Violence at the Grosvenor put an end to the Beatles performances there, but they did return on September 15, 1960, ‘making their first appearance since their German tour’.
“Admission was 4/- and the Beatles were billed to play from 7.45pm followed by Cliff Roberts and the Rockers.
“So it is in black and white – they became the Beatles during their residency at the Grosvenor Ballroom during June 1960 before they went to Germany on the road to becoming world famous.
“This has puzzled pop historians.”

Beatlemania is alive and well! Paul McCartney mobbed by hundreds of fans as he arrives in Japan...wearing a kimono
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
PUBLISHED: 9 November 2013

Aside from selling millions of records, the success of The Beatles was often defined by the hordes of fanatical fans who would follow them around the world. 
Fast-forward fifty years on and little has changed. 
Sir Paul McCartney and his wife Nancy were mobbed by a sea of supporters at they arrived at Kansai International Airport in Osaka, Japan, today.

The acclaimed singer is there as part of his Out There tour, which will see him play two dates in Osaka, one in Fukuoka and three consecutive nights at the Tokyo Dome. 
Wearing a black and white kimono in honour of Japanese culture, both the 71 year-old rocker and his wife appeared colour co-ordinated in matching trousers and black shoes.
The star waved at fans as they walked through the arrivals gate, causing screams of excitement from across the terminal.

Shortly after landing he took to micro-blogging site Twitter, where he uploaded a personal photograph of dedicated followers waiting for him with welcome signs.
The warm reception is a stark contrast to when he arrived in Japan on 16 January 1980. 
Touring the world with his band Wings, he was caught with 8oz of marijuana and arrested by officials. Customs officers at Narita airport discovered the drugs in a plastic bag at the top of his suitcase.
Facing the threat of seven years hard labour, he was detained for nine days and forced to clean his cell with a reed brush each morning. After more than a week of negotiations he was eventually released and deported.

Thankfully, that all seems to have been forgotten. In fact, the reception should not have been a surprise for the musician, who has scored another smash-hit with his latest LP New. 
The album, his first in six years, charted at Number 2 in the Japanese charts - just behind Big Bang’s Seungri’s solo debut album - selling 23,000 copies in the first week.

According to the Japan Daily Press this is the first time that a musician over 70 years old has broken into the Top 10.
His forthcoming tour will be his first since 2002.
