Ringo's many all-starrs
I like lists. Here's a list of the various configurations of Ringo Starr's All-Starr Bands, from 1989 through 2003:
Or to put it another way, here are all the artists listed alphabetically, followed by the number of All-Starr Bands they've played in - it's in brackets - and finally the numbers of which configurations they performed with.
Randy Bachman (1) 3
Gary Brooker (2) 4, 5
Jack Bruce (3) 4, 5, 6
Timmy Cappello (2) 2, 5
Paul Carrack (1) 8
Felix Caveliere (1) 3
Clarence Clemons (1) 1
Burton Cummings (1) 2
Rick Danko (1) 1
Sheila E (2) 7, 8
Dave Edmunds (2) 2, 6
John Entwistle (1) 3
Mark Farner (1) 3
Peter Frampton (1) 4
Colin Hay (1) 8
Levon Helm (1) 1
Roger Hodgson (1) 7
Ian Hunter (1) 7
Dr John (1) 1
Howard Jones (1) 7
Jim Keltner (1) 1
Simon Kirke (3) 4, 5, 6
Greg Lake (1) 7
Nils Lofgren (1) 1
Billy Preston (2) 1, 3
Mark Rivera (5) 3, 4, 6, 7, 8
Todd Rundgren (2) 2, 5
Timothy B. Schmidt (1) 2
Zak Starkey (2) 2, 3
John Waite (1) 8
Joe Walsh (2) 1, 2
What a lot of talent! That's 31 musicians in total, including Randy and Burton (unfortunately not at the same time, though). You'll see that Mark Rivera has played the most times (five); 20 musicians have played in just one band; eight have played twice, and two artists have had three tours of duty.
Sheila E is one heck of a percussionist. She’s also the only woman to play with any of the line-ups.
Apparently plans are in the works for a 2006 tour. Rumours are that Sheila E will be back, plus Colin Blunstone from the Zombies. Nothing’s confirmed yet. Stay tuned.
Rock on, Ringo!
