Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band Volume 2: Live from Montreux

Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band Volume 2: Live From Montreux is Ringo Starr's second official live album and was released in September 1993.^[1] Following up on 1990s Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band, this new collection highlighted a performance in Montreux in 1992 just following the release of Time Takes Time.

Starr was once again supported by his All-Starr Band, but this time the celebrity guests within was shuffled somewhat. Retained from his 1989/1990 inaugural jaunt were Joe Walsh and Nils Lofgren, while newcomers were Burton Cummings, Timothy B. Schmit, Dave Edmunds, Todd Rundgren, Tim Cappello on sax and Starr's own son, Zak Starkey on drums.

While Starr performed new material from Time Takes Time, he mostly centered on his Beatles standards on this outing, namely "Yellow Submarine", "With A Little Help From My Friends" and his cover of The Shirelles' "Boys", which had been featured on The Beatles' 1963 debut album, Please Please Me. The members of his All-Starr Band also had solo moments throughout the live recording.

Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band Volume 2: Live From Montreux was released worldwide on Rykodisc, eventually being deleted towards the end of the 1990s. Due to his heavy involvement in The Beatles Anthology, it was Starr's last official release until 1998s Vertical Man. In between these releases, Starr orchestrated a limited edition live release of his 1995 tour exclusively through the Blockbuster video store chain in 1997.
